The story about Wang Zhihuan.

Wang Zhihuan, a Frontier Poet

Wang Zhihuan (688─742), a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was born in Jinyang (now Taiyuan, Shanxi), and his great-grandfather moved to Jiangxian, Shanxi.

Bold and uninhibited, he often lamented fencing, and his poems were sung by musicians at that time, which made him famous for a while. He often sings with Gao Shi and Wang Changling, and is famous for being good at describing frontier fortress scenery.

He has been loyal since he was a child and likes to help the weak. He often associates with Haoxia's children and talks about fencing while drinking. Many chivalrous men recorded in history of qing dynasty are the objects of his imitation.

There is also because I am so fascinated that I am addicted to drinking and chatting with powerful children all day, doing nothing.

This kind of life lasted for a period of time, until middle age, and I achieved nothing. Then I regretted my previous decadence and ignorance. From then on, I decided to study and concentrate on writing articles.

He has two brothers who write very well, Wang Zhixian and Wang Zongdi. Under their guidance, Wang Zhihuan quickly mastered the method of reading, and he did not lose his two brothers in writing, which was impressive.

Because I am a hero, I have no interest in exams, and I visit celebrities everywhere after I finish my studies.

He used to be a small official in charge of bookkeeping, but later resigned because of slander, and lived a life of sightseeing and visiting places of interest in the north and south of the Yellow River.

There are not many stories about him, but the "flag pavilion" banquet is a beautiful talk that has been passed down through the ages. When it comes to Wang Zhihuan, we can't help but talk about the story of Qiting.

The story begins like this: During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Changling, Gao Shi and Wang Zhihuan were all famous, and no one lost or obeyed.

One day, it was freezing and snowing, and three poets came to the flag pavilion. A little-known geisha played all kinds of musical instruments to entertain, and the songs were the most popular songs at that time.

Wang Changling, who has always been quite conceited about poetry, went on to say, "The three of us each have a poem name, and no one will obey anyone. Which is the best? It is always difficult to make a decision because of controversy. Why not take this party to secretly watch those geisha sing, see who wrote the poems they sang, who won the first prize, and so on. What do you think? " Gao Shi and Wang Zhihuan were full of confidence in themselves and agreed.

As soon as the words were finished, a geisha sang to the beat: "It's cold and rainy at night, and it's Qingming to bid farewell."

Friends, if my friends in Luoyang invite me; Just say I'm still Bing Xin Okho, and stick to my faith!

After singing a poem by Wang Changling, Wang Changling immediately drew a picture on the wall and said, "A quatrain.

Not long after, another song sang, "I opened my eyes with tears the day before yesterday and saw your book."

How lonely is the night platform? It is still a cloud house.

"Before the song was finished, Gao Shi learned to look like Wang Changling, drew a cross hand on the wall and said," This is my brother's quatrain.

"Before long, another singer came up and sang," Let the broom open the golden palace and make the round fan wander.

A beautiful face is not as beautiful as a crow, and it can also bring the shadow of Zhaoyang Hall.

""it's mine again! " Wang Changling drew a second picture on the wall.

Wang Zhihuan thought he had been named for a long time, but he failed one after another, and he felt bad in his heart. He quickly stood up, pointed to the youngest and most handsome one and said, "Did you see that geisha with a pair of bun clouds like autumn water? Who is red and purple now?" Both Gao Shi and Wang Changling nodded, and Wang Zhihuan continued: "Look at her singing, it must be my poem." After a while, it was finally their turn to wait. She sang softly, as loud as an oriole, and sang, "The Yellow River is an isolated city, Wan Ren Mountain, far above the white clouds. Why should the flute blame the willow? Isn't spring breeze enough? "

"It's Wang Zhihuan's poem.

Wang Zhihuan, or Wang Zhihuan, whose real name is Ji Ling, is a famous poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and enjoys a high reputation so far.

Such a celebrity, the old and new Tang Shu have no biographies, and the biography of Tang Caizi is also very simple.

Fortunately, the discovery of the epitaph of Wang Fujun in Taiyuan, Wen 'an County, Tang Dynasty provided some information about Wang Zhihuan.

Biography of Talented Talents in the Tang Dynasty said that Wang Zhihuan was a master of Ji, or guessed that he was not chivalrous, and he came from Wuling Mountains with elegant swordsmanship. According to the epitaph of Jinneng, Jinneng took Jinyang (now Taiyuan) as his native place and lived in Jiangzhou (now Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province).

The epitaph says that Wang Zhihuan died in the first year of Tianbao (

February 742), died at the age of 55. It can be inferred that he was born four years after Wu (688).

Wang Zhihuan was born in Taiyuan Wang family, and was a noble family at that time.

His fifth ancestor, Wang Long, was the secretariat of Jiangzhou in the post-Wei period, and probably moved to Jiangzhou for this reason.

Great-great-grandfather Wang xin, a doctor and writer in the Sui Dynasty, became an Anyi county magistrate in the Tang Dynasty.

Grandfather Wang Biao, a doctor in Tang Dynasty, was ordered by Wen 'an County.

Father Yu, the main book of the country, the county magistrate.

From my great-grandfather to my father, although they are all officials, they are all small officials.

Wang Zhihuan was born in an ordinary official family, ranking fourth. He has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is not old.

20

18 years old can read articles intensively, but before you are strong, you are poor in classics.

Somehow, Wang Zhihuan did not take part in the imperial examination, but supplemented the main book of Hengshui in Jizhou with a gate valve.

Wang Zhihuan's parents died when he was in charge of Hengshui, and Li Di, the magistrate of Hengshui County, betrothed his third daughter to him.

The marriage between Wang Zhihuan and Li may have a romantic history.

Kaiyuan decade (

In 722), when they got married, Wang Zhihuan was married and had children. She is 35 years old and Li is 29 years old. She is younger than Wang Zhihuan 17 years old. She is a young woman.

More than 1000 county magistrates are married to a 35-year-old married county marshal under his father, which is quite intriguing.

This must be fascinated by Wang Zhihuan's talent.

Wang Zhihuan just high-spirited, unwilling to bend over for Hengshui's humble position, and someone framed the attack, so he resigned angrily, "then swim in the green hills and destroy the yellow ribbon.

The river is thousands of miles away because of its high wind; Fifteen years at home, eating its old virtues.

Elegant talk about knighthood, cool love leisure. "I lived at home 15 years.

Later, his relatives and friends felt that it was not right for him to stay in the lower class, so they advised him to be an official.

Later, as the captain of Wen 'an County in Wen 'an County, it was still a humble job.

He is famous for his clean work style and fair management of the people, and is praised by the local people.

Unexpectedly, it was not long before he became ill and died in the official residence at the age of 55.

In his epitaph, Jin Neng called Wang Zhihuan "filial piety, friendship, generosity and charming talent", which is a perfect summary of Wang Zhihuan's life.

After Li and Wang Zhihuan got married, they fell in love.

Wang Zhihuan is idle at home 15.

1920, Li lived a poor life with him.

Wang Zhihuan re-entered the officialdom, his life just changed for the better, but he died, leaving Li a widow before he was 40 years old.

Six years after Wang Zhihuan's death, Li also died of illness.

They can't be buried together because of his ex-wife.

Because of historical data, Wang Zhihuan's life experience is little known, but as a famous poet, he is almost well known.

His famous "Liangzhou Ci", that is, "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is a lonely city, Wan Ren Mountain.

Why should a strong brother complain about Liu? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass. It has been widely read by people in past dynasties and called "the most quatrains" by Mr. Zhang Taiyan.

"Climb a flight of stairs and you will broaden your horizons by 300 miles", which is even more famous in "Climbing the Crane Tower".

Wang Zhihuan's poems are rarely handed down from generation to generation. There are only six poems visible today, which are enough to make Wang Zhihuan's poems famous and the universe * * *.

Wang Zhihuan's poems were not only admired by later generations, but also shocked the world when he was alive.

He often made friends with Wang Changling, Gao Shi, Cui, Chang Dang and other famous poets, and his poems were "spread to the movement and spread to the population".

Xue Zeng, a native of Hedong (now Yongji, Shanxi) in the Tang Dynasty, used the story of "painting a wall and hanging a flag pavilion" in Ji Jie Ji to illustrate people's worship of Wang Zhihuan's poems at that time.

At the beginning of Kaiyuan, Wang Zhihuan was neck and neck with Wang Changling and Gao Shi.

One day, it was freezing and snowing slightly, and three people came to the flag pavilion to drink. Just 10 more than the Liyuan Lingguan and four famous prostitutes also came to this banquet, and the three of them warmed up while watching.

Wang Changling suggested that each of us is good at poem titles. Who is better than who? Today, we can see who sings more poems and who sings the best.

The first geisha sang Wang Changling's "There is a Ice Heart in the Jade Pot", and Wang Changling drew a picture for himself on the wall.

The second song is "Open Your Eyes with Tears" by Gao Shi, and Gao Shi drew one for himself.

Then Wang Changling added another one.

Wang Zhihuan said that these girls are ordinary geisha, and they all sang from the beauty of chin.

It depends on whose poem the best geisha sings.

If it weren't for my poem, I wouldn't dare to compare with you two all my life.

When the famous prostitute sang, it was really a poem by Wang Zhihuan, and the three of them laughed happily.

Zhu Ling because they asked with a smile, know that it is Wang Zhihuan and others. Glad to invite them to the table.

The flag pavilion painted the wall and became an allusion.

Yuan people also staged a big play.

This shows that Wang Zhihuan's poems were famous at that time.

Such talents, unfortunately, will never be used, and things will not work out.

This is also the common outcome of all talented and upright intellectuals.

Although only six of his poems have been handed down, they are the essence of China's classical literature.
