The Story of Yuan Zhen Being an Official in Dazhou

Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi are both called "Bai Yuan". His poems are easy to understand, gripping and touching, especially erotic poems and mourning poems, which are all about the love between men and women, and have a great response. His life was ups and downs, his official career was ups and downs, and he became prime minister. Later, he died in any office at the age of 53.

Yuan Zhen and Biography of Yingying

In the twentieth year of Zhenyuan, Yuan Zhen wrote Biography of Yingying. According to Biography of Yingying, the story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying took place in Zhenyuan period of Tang Dynasty. At the end of the article, there is a story: "In September of Zhenyuan, the deacon Li Gong hammer stayed in Jing 'an Li Di, and the words were related. "It can be seen that the story and writing of Yingying Biography were in Zhenyuan years, and the first time I saw Cui Yingying was around the sixteenth year of Zhenyuan.

When I first started reading Biography of Yingying, I really felt that Yuan Zhen was ungrateful and ungrateful. Later, when I carefully watched Li Si, I felt the vicissitudes. "Leaving Thinking" is not a mourning poem for his wife Wei Cong, but a love poem to recall his first love. "once the sea was difficult for water, it was always amber." What kind of feeling is this? Regret the innocent love when I was a teenager and lament that youth is fleeting. No matter how beautiful youth is, it can't resist the flow of time. The entanglement suppressed in the poet's heart broke out here, and I can even feel the poet's endless loneliness and sadness from the poem.

In Biography of Yingying, Zhang Sheng said, "Yesterday, we had dinner together and almost lost control. I forgot to stop and eat these days. I'm afraid I can't surpass today. If I get married because of a matchmaker and ask for a name, I will be among the dead fish in three or several months. What did you call me? " The desire for Yingying is obvious, and it can't wait for three months. Imagine, at the beginning of our love, will we be so anxious? At least I will. I will be restless. If you think about it in another place, it is easy to understand Yuan Zhen's mood at that time. Cui Yingying wrote a letter, "Stay in the west wing of the moon, and the wind will open half a door." . Painting the wall, suspected to be a jade man. "Yuan Zhen was overjoyed and pleased to keep the appointment. As a result, he was scolded by Cui Yingying and went back in despair. And the turning point is here, Cui Yingying unexpectedly came with a pillow in the middle of the night. Yuan Zhen is like a dream, tears can be covered, sleeves can be made up and clothes can be fragrant. After that, the scholar went to Beijing for her future, and the beautiful boudoir has been waiting. Cui Yingying said, "If you start with chaos, you will eventually abandon it. If you insist, no fool dares to hate it. "It can be seen that Yingying's heart is firm and soft and desolate. Later, Cui Yingying wrote: "Jade takes its strength and the ring takes its end." This shows his deep love and sincerity for Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen prevaricated and even shirked his responsibility by saying that "the virtue of giving is not enough to defeat evil spirits, but forbearance".

It is precisely because he left Cui Yingying that Yuan Zhen had a lifelong inner entanglement: "Once the sea was difficult for water, it was amber forever." Apart from the five poems "Leaving Thinking" and "Miscellaneous Memories", it can be said that the poet's heart is painful, or he is remembering or repenting, but I think it is sincere and an explosion of the poet's inner feelings.

Yuan Zhen and his wife Wei Cong

In the nineteenth year of Zhenyuan, Yuan Zhen was awarded the title of scholar, secretary of the provincial school, and a good man was ambitious in all directions. But this is really just the beginning. In the same year, he married Wei Cong, the daughter of Jing and Wei.

The school bookkeeper's position is low and his salary is meager, but Wei Cong, who was born in a famous family, did not abandon him. When he saw that her husband had no clothes to wear, he looked for a basket. When my husband and friends came to visit and had no money to sell wine, they exchanged gold hairpin for wine, wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger and Sophora japonica leaves to increase their wages. It can be said that he has no regrets and cares about each other. But the reality is cruel. Wei Cong died when Yuan Zhen gave the suggestion. His wife left quietly, leaving Yuan Zhen alone, so he wrote five poems "Sorrow for me".

The poet said: "This is a sorrow that all mankind should know, but it is not like people who have been poor together." Everyone has a separation of life and death, but for couples who are in trouble together, it is inevitable that they will not be more sad, so they will spare all their clothes, pity handmaiden and burn paper and incense because of their dreams. Looking back is bleak, and the afterlife is a mystery, so the poet wrote the poem "But I can see the lifelong trouble in your brow all night when I open my eyes" to comfort the dead under my wife's grave.

There is a sad word everywhere in the five-character poem. The husband misses his wife with lifelong lovesickness and sleepless eyes.

Yuan Zhen and Xue Tao

In March of the fourth year of Yuanhe, Yuan Zhen was appointed as an imperial adviser, sent an envoy to East Sichuan, and moved to Luoyang in July. In this short period of four months, Yuan Zhen will set out from Chang 'an, travel thousands of miles through Shu Road and inspect all parties. How can he spend the first month and the last few months with Xue Tao? And the supervision of the empire is only eight products. How can we enter our residence and get to know each other? Everyone said that Yuan Zhen had an affair with Xue Tao, and finally Yuan Zhen failed Xue Tao. One is a great genius, with ups and downs in his career and charming. The other is a famous geisha, which was very popular for a while. The world is proud to know each other. There may be a story, but just two poems are ridiculous. Xue Tao is actually aloof. She is proud of all kinds of things in the world and has read all the men in the world. She is not confined to the world, so it is inevitable that she will appear lofty and unscrupulous in her mind. Finally, she will take off her music and retire, which is what she wants. I believe there is Confucianism between them.

Two years after the death of his wife Wei Cong, that is, in the sixth year of Yuanhe, Yuan Zhen took An Xianyu as his concubine and died. Needless to say, I fell in love with Pei Shu and her husband and wife until Yuan Zhen died. There seems to be a story about Liu Caichun, and I don't want to talk about it any more. The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous time, and prostitutes became the norm. Just talking about it is not enough.

Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi

Although scholars despise each other, some of them are easy to get bosom friends. Advocating a new Yuefu and creating a "harmonious body", Bai Yuan's feelings are really a much-told story throughout the ages. There are too many poems coming and going, but in every poem, we can see the mutual understanding and intersection of mountains and rivers, harps and harps.

Yuan Zhen is in Tongzhou

From the fifth year of Yuanhe, Yuan Zhen was demoted all the way for offending powerful people. First, he was demoted to Jiangling Prefecture to join the army. Yuanhe moved the capital to Tang and Zhou Dynasties for nine years, and Yuanhe returned to Chang 'an for ten years. In March, Tongzhou was demoted to Sima. In March, Yuan Zhen set out from Chang 'an, when An Xianyu was dead. Yuan Zhen rode to Tongzhou, went to Fuzhou via Pengzhou, married Pei Shu in Fuzhou in May, transferred to Quzhou, and took office in Tongzhou in June. What kind of position is Tongzhou Sima? A state in the Tang Dynasty should be the secretariat, with a long history, and Sima. Sima seems insignificant, just an idle person who doesn't care about government affairs. From "Tongzhou" written by Yuan Zhen, "Sleeping in the west has nothing to do, and saving 30,000 yuan a month to buy leisure education", it is not difficult to see that Sima, whom he served, is indeed a leisure post.

After four years of idleness, Yuan Zhen was happy to feel at ease. No, I just arrived in Tongzhou and I have been infected with malaria 100 for more than a few days. In October of the 10th year of Yuanhe, Yuan Zhen had to take time off to go to Pengzhou in the west and Xingyuan in the north for medical treatment. This treatment lasted for nearly two years. It was not until Yuan and Twelve ended that he returned to Tongzhou. At the beginning of Yuanhe 13th year, he went out of Tongzhou to serve as Guo Taishou. After careful calculation, it was indeed four years, but Yuan Zhen really stayed in Tongzhou for less than a year.

In the fourteenth year of Yuanhe (1 1), Yuan Zhen returned to Chang 'an and moved to a bachelor's degree as an academician. In the winter of the same year, he was appointed as the minister of food and beverage, and at the beginning of the fifteenth year of Yuanhe, he was promoted to the imperial minister of ancestral temple. From the first year of Changqing, Yuan Zhen's official career was magnanimous, rising all the way to the prime minister, then being demoted, his official career rose and fell, and finally he died in Wu Changjun's post.
