Thirty-six, wine army poets meet like enemies (middle)
When Yuu Horita saw that Eshuiyuan didn't speak, he thought he was shocked by himself, and he felt even more proud: "Didn't Jiang Jun just now know Bai Lotte better than me? Please give me some advice!"
Jiang Shuiyuan sighed: "I have to say that Horita's taste is very unique. The poets we like are all very prolific writers in the history of literature. Like Bai Letian, although he lived in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, there are still 2,600 poems that have been passed down to this day, which is the most surviving poems among the Tang Dynasty poets. His works in "Complete Tang Poetry" account for thirty-nine volumes! Almost every twenty of the Tang poems we can see now are written by Bai Juyi. To say how much I know Bai Juyi, it is simply a twenty-four histories - I don't know where to start!"
Yuuki Horita also said: "Then let me tell you what you like the most!"
"What I like most?" Jiang Shuiyuan was a little hesitant. Although he had read less than 100,000 poems before and after, and he could recite them skillfully with amazing memory, there were not many people who really liked them. The reason was very simple. The poems stored in his mind with memory were not carefully tasted and chewed, and it was just a boring code. How could he like or dislike them?
Yuu Horita also turned his head slightly: "Why, Jiang Jun thinks Bai Letian's poetry is not good? As far as I know, Tianchao has always called Bai Letian, Li Taibai and Du Zimei the three major poets of the Tang Dynasty! Even on that day, Bai Letian was respected as the "King of Poetry" or the "Demon of Poetry", and was known as Yuan Zhen, Liu Yuxi and others."
Jiang Shuiyuan smiled and said, "Although Bai Letian's poems were swaying that day and were praised as the master of education in the "Photo of the Poet" written by Zhang Wei, a Tang Dynasty man, it does not mean that everyone should like it. Just like Liu Gongquan, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, was called "Yan Liu" together with Yan Zhenqing, and "Four Masters of Regular Script" together with Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing and Zhao Mengfu. Didn't he still be called "the ancestor of ugly and evil letters" by Mi Fu?"
Yuu Horita also sneered: "Even if you don't like Bai Lotte, he is the most noticeable poet in the mid-Tang Dynasty. His poetry propositions and poetry creation occupies an important position in the history of Tianchao's poetry. And as you said, he created 2,600 in his life, so don't you like one?"
Jiang Shuiyuan blinked and replied in a vain: "Since that's the case, then I like "Pipa Xing"!"
Yuu Horita was also dissatisfied with Jiang Shuiyuan's perfunctory attitude and continued to ask: "Why?"
Jiang Shuiyuan joked: "Because Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty Li Chen wrote in his poem "Discussion of the Boy's Song of "Everything Sorrow" and Hu'er can sing the "Pipa" chapter, so it is best to say in front of Horita that he likes "Pipa Xing", which is also considered to be his favorite."
Yuu Horita replied angrily, "I thought it was because you chose "Pipa Xing" in your Chinese textbook for middle school, and you said you like it!"
"It is because everyone likes "Pipa Xing" that it was selected into the middle school Chinese textbook, not because it was selected into the middle school Chinese textbook. Don't make the cause and effect wrong." Jiang Shuiyuan corrected, "The reason why I like "Pipa Xing" is mainly because of its heavy and rich cultural background."
"for example?"
"For example, in the poem, "The businessman values profit and neglects separation, and buys tea in Fuliang the previous month, why did he go to Fuliang instead of other places?"
"Isn't it because Fuliang produced tea in the Tang Dynasty?"
“It can be said more appropriately.”
"Uh...please give me advice!"
Jiang Shuyuan stretched out a finger and said, "First, as you said, Fuliang did produce tea in the Tang Dynasty. According to the "Yuanhe County Map Records", Fuliang "produced seven million teas every year and taxed more than 150,000 yuan" and was the largest tea market in the country at that time. Wang Fu of the Tang Dynasty also said in the "Dunhuang Breeding Collection" that "Fuliang Shezhou, all countries come to ask for it." But this is just the reason why merchants rushed to Fuliang to buy tea. How can they reflect the merchants' "value profits"?"
Then the river water source stretched out its second finger: "According to the "Tea Notes" by Pei Wen, the prime minister of the late Tang Dynasty, tea leaves were also divided into grades. In his words, it was called "now the earth tribute is a lot, and Guzhu, Qiyang and Mengshan are the tops, followed by Shouyang, Yixing, Bijian, Zihu, Hengshan, and Poyang and Fuliang at the bottom". See? Although the tea leaves in Fuliang are large in yield, the quality is also the worst. If a merchant goes to Qiyang or Hengshan to buy tea, it is difficult to reflect the merchant's "value of profit."
"Oh, I understand!" Yuu Horita also looked like a teacher.
"There is a third point!" Jiang Shuiyuan stretched out his third finger, "If the tea quality in Fuliang is poor, it can only mean that the merchants "focus on profit". How can the merchants "focus on profit and neglect separation"? We know that Bai Juyi was demoted to the Sima of Jiangzhou on the west road of Jiangnan, and sent guests at the head of Xunyang River. Then he met a Pipa girl who was alone on the boat. The Pipa girl claimed that she went to Fuliang to buy tea. Where is Fuliang? Fuliang belongs to Raozhou, and Raozhou is adjacent to Jiangzhou, and is the same as Jiangzhou. However, from Xunyang to Fuliang, you must pass through Pengli Lake - that is, now
Poyang Lake - then go upstream from the Changjiang River. If a merchant takes the Pipa Girl to buy tea, he must not only consider various expenses, but also consider the heavier hull when he goes, increasing the difficulty of traversing the flow, and occupying the space on the ship when he comes back, reducing the weight of the trafficking of tea. Fuliang has more tea and poor quality, so it must rely on enough quantity to make a profit. So after weighing the pros and cons, the merchant simply threw the Pipa Girl alone in Xunyang and went to Fuliang to buy tea by himself. This is why in "Pipa Xing", the "Businessman values profit and rather than separation, and buys tea in Fuliang the previous month".
"な�ほど! (So that's it)" Yuu Horita couldn't help but burst out a Japanese sentence, "Jiang Jun is indeed very knowledgeable, which makes me have a broad vision. So is there any such example in "Pipa Xing"?"
“Of course there are, and there are a lot.”
"for example?"
"For example, 'The silver comb in the head of the tin is broken, and the blood-colored silk skirt is filled with wine'. Horita Jun, how do you understand 'The blood-colored silk skirt is filled with wine'?"
Yuu Horita replied carefully, "Isn't it that the wine that was accidentally knocked over made the red skirt dirty?"
"You are right, but you haven't mentioned the point yet. The key to this poem is on the word "dirty"!" Jiang Shuiyuan felt that he was about to drive the train. "If "dirty" just means dirty, then clean it up, why should I say it in the poem? This involves a common sense in ancient times, that is, before the Song Dynasty, the clothing printing and dyeing technology was not up to standard, especially the bright red, which was easy to fade when exposed to water. Therefore, such things can often be seen in the poems of the Tang Dynasty people.
For example, Wu Zetian's "Ruyi Niang" says, "Looking at Zhu Chengbi's thoughts, haggard and fragmented, I remember you. I don't believe that I often cry in the past, so I unbox the box to check the pomegranate skirt. Why use "testing the pomegranate skirt" to prove that "testing the pomegranate skirt" is to prove that "testing the pomegranate skirt" is because tears flow on the red pomegranate skirt, fading the red color, thus turning a good pomegranate skirt into spots and all of them are tear marks. If the color does not fade, the tears flow and dry in a few days, how can I 'test'?"
Yuu Horita nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Jiang Shuiyuan continued: "There are also common sense in Li He's "Don't Wash Red Two" saying, "Don't Wash Red, wash red, wash red, wash red, wash more red, wash more red, wash more red, wash more red, wash more red, wash more red, wash more red, wash. This is the true meaning of "Dream Red Skirts"."
"Souga!"
