Hui Yun Yong Huizhou Poems

A Tour of Huangshan Mountain and Baiyue Mountain is a poem by Tang Xianzu in Ming Dynasty.

Wu Xu pitied me and advised me to travel to Baiyue in Huangshan, but failed.

If you want to know gold and silver, swim from yellow to white.

I have never dreamed of Huizhou in my life.

Precautions:

1 lack: down and out, trapped and poor.

② Yellow and white: Huangshan Mountain and Baiyue Mountain in Huizhou. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, Huizhou's commerce was prosperous, and businessmen were rich in the world.

The preface of the poem explains Tang Xianzu's professional status at that time: poverty and poverty. Then why did his friends advise him to go to Huizhou when he was down and out? Then it's definitely not a leisure experience tour now. You have no stomach, don't be idle. I just hope to make a comeback in Huizhou, and this opportunity should still be pinned on Guo Xu.

In the 19th year of Wanli (159 1), Guo Xu retired to her hometown in Shexian County, Huizhou. As long as you look at the Guo Xu Octagonal Pavilion, which still stands in the ancient city of Shexian, you will know the position of Guo Xu in the imperial court. Although he retired, Guo Xu was both a teacher and an important minister of the emperor. As long as he is willing to recommend, Tang Xianzu's life will change.

Therefore, Wu Xu, a good friend of Tang Xianzu, suggested that Tang Xianzu visit Mr. Xu in Huizhou to bridge the teacher-student relationship and restore friendship. As long as you say a word to the emperor, he can change his predicament. "Yellow and white" in the poem refers to Huangshan and Baishan (Yun Qi), implying gold and silver, that is, the salary of officials.

For whatever reason, Tang Xianzu's praise of Huizhou cannot be inferred.

In fact, this poem describes Huizhou as a place with a copper smell from the beginning: if you want to get rich, you may get there between the white mountains of Huangshan Mountain. This may be in line with the social reality at that time, because Huizhou merchants in Ming and Qing dynasties made a pun on fame and fortune, and Huizhou was naturally the golden land envied by the people.

But what does all this have to do with the beautiful scene and the playwright's pain? At that time, it was suggested that Tang Xianzu go to Huizhou to find human resources, or find immortals or Taoist immortals. The most realistic way is to find human resources, which has nothing to do with scenery. Therefore, it would be a big mistake to interpret this poem as the author's praise of Huizhou scenery.

Extended data:

The title of this poem "White Mountain" refers to Yun Qi in Xiuning. Yun Qi, Wudang Mountain in Hubei, heming in Sichuan and Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi are called "Four Famous Taoist Mountains in China", and Huangshan Mountain is called "White Mountain in Huangshan Mountain". In Tang Xianzu's poems, "Huangshan and Baishan" means "yellow and white". These four lines actually write "cause and effect". Write the reasons in the first two sentences and the results in the last two sentences.

The main idea of this poem is the first sentence, not the last two. Judging from the poet's experience and personality, this poem is not to praise the "yellow and white" beauty, nor to express the yearning for Huizhou, but to express the feeling of life. When the poet wrote this poem, he was down and out. His friends invited and advised him many times, hoping that he would have the opportunity to develop in Huizhou. However, none of them came.

In the poem "Huangbai", it refers to Huangshan and Baishan, and the allusion is gold and silver, that is, official salary. No matter what caused its failure, it can't be inferred that Tang Xianzu praised Huizhou. In fact, this poem describes Huizhou as a rich place from the beginning: if you want to get rich, you have to go to Huizhou in Huangshan Mountain.

This is in line with the social reality at that time. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huizhou merchants were famous and extremely rich, which was naturally an enviable place. But this has nothing to do with beauty or tragic playwrights. This poem expresses the poet's reluctance to bow his head: it is said that Huizhou is rich, but unfortunately I have never wanted to go to Huizhou in my life.
