Why do ancient poets often mention Yangzhou?
Although I didn't come to Yangzhou to watch fireworks in March, in my eyes, Yangzhou is still a romantic city, not to mention countless beautiful legends that make it fragrant. Even though ancient relics are scattered everywhere in the market today, bits and pieces of history seem to be integrated into these ordinary landscapes. You can not only find traces of the past years, but also directly feel the romantic artistic conception and subtle charm in the depths of history through the dusty years. Chinese national geography puts forward and answers a question in the preface: Why is Yangzhou, north of the Yangtze River, considered as the south of the Yangtze River? The article introduces: "It is more important to regard Yangzhou as Jiangnan, because it is similar to Jiangnan. It can even be said that Yangzhou was once more Jiangnan than Jiangnan. Yangzhou, along the Grand Canal, the Yangtze River and the East China Sea, is similar to Suzhou and Hangzhou in terms of prosperity, wealth, dance halls, songs, poems, calligraphy and painting. Therefore, Du Mu can understand that Yangzhou is Jiangnan. " 1. Yangzhou Moon: What is the bright moon? Why did the ancients burn? Compared with the hardness, fierceness, fire and heat of the sun, the moon is soft, elegant, clear and cool, always as bitter as longing, as bitter as resentment, as a tear on the cloud. The moon in Yangzhou is more poetic, because the weather in Yangzhou is sunny, there are no peaks, and there are many small bridges and flowing water. Therefore, the long moon is in the sky, the clear water reflects the moon, and the preference of nature has created the amorous feelings of Yangzhou month. Let's appreciate the elegant demeanour of Yangzhou month in Tang poetry. Xu Ning's "Recalling Yangzhou" Xiao Niang's face is thin and difficult to overcome tears, and the peach leaves are long and easy to learn. The glory of the land is three points, lovely Yangzhou, and you actually accounted for two points. "Thinking of you is like a full moon, and it decreases every night." The feeling of longing for love has nothing to do with the bright moon, but it once shone on people's tears and seemed affectionate, but tonight it shone on sad people and seemed indifferent and disgusting. Looking up at the moon in the middle of the night, I wanted to get rid of this melancholy, but I didn't expect the moonlight to haunt people again, so I called it "the moon hooligan." The word "rogue" has both positive and negative meanings, and it is annoying here because of the bright moon. However, later generations left the author's original intention out of their surprise appreciation of the image of the bright moon in Yangzhou, and only deleted it as a vivid epigram describing jathyapple in Yangzhou. At this time, the word rogue has become another name for love. This is also an example that the image is sometimes greater than the author's idea. Originally, the moonlight shone all over the world, and Yangzhou was not favored. The charm of Yangzhou is not only in the moonlight. Poetry is vivid, sometimes seemingly counterintuitive, but it can go deep into the bone marrow of things. As far as Xu Ning's poem is concerned, after reading this poem, later readers are fascinated by Yangzhou's yearning, which makes "two" synonymous with Yangzhou. Recalling Yangzhou is a poem that cherishes people, but its title is unclear and it tends to cherish the land. This is because the poet wrote the bright moon in Yangzhou to the point of ecstasy, and decorated Yangzhou with the "bright moon" of "hooligans", which coincides with the title of "remembering Yangzhou", thus attracting readers' attention to the beauty of Yangzhou. What is the bright moon? Why did the ancients burn? Standing in the moonlight-filled city of Yangzhou, I walked quietly in the moonlight. In the breeze, the moonlight bathed by Zhang and Xu Ning was lightly caged on my skirt, and people floated unconsciously, blending with the night sky, the bright moon and the ancient city. Why don't you forget? Why not sell it? Second, Yangzhou Beauty: Give me a future! It is also a fact that Yangzhou produces beautiful women. In the poems of past dynasties, the beauties in Yangzhou were often mentioned, so that in ancient China society, Yangzhou was always regarded as the place where beauties were born. Until modern times, Mr. Zhu Ziqing also talked about this matter in Talking about Yangzhou: "When mentioning the place name Yangzhou, many people think of the place where women were born." Why are women in Yangzhou Beauty State beautiful? From a normal point of view, there are two reasons. First, Yangzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. As the saying goes, "one side of the soil and water support one side." The nourishment of the water town gave birth to the natural beauty and delicate spirit of Yangzhou women, which is the natural result. The second is due to the gfd of Yangzhou women. Since ancient times, almost every family in Yangzhou has a dresser, a cosmetic box and a toilet mirror. Every morning, women dress up in front of the dressing table. Is a simple working woman, as "Guangling Ancient Zhi Zhu Ci" said: "You don't have to wear flowers, some powder has not been wiped." If you are a woman who pays attention to beauty, that is to say, you are loyal to what Han Rihua said in "Spring Tour in Wucheng" and "Poems on Painting Ships in Yangzhou": "A person with heavy makeup is better than a painter" and "She will comb her face better". Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once came here to heal the mental trauma caused by official feuds. He was a beautiful woman who had drunk and dreamed for ten years, and finally won the title of brothel. Such a reputation makes Du Mu even happier than the imperial reward. There are many poems in the Tang Dynasty that praise Yangzhou women, and Du Mu's "Sanqikai" can be regarded as a masterpiece at that time. His three famous four-character poems are all about Yangzhou, and they are all about the beautiful women in Yangzhou. 1. The poem "Send Han Zhuo, the magistrate of Yangzhou" says: "The green hills are faint with water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River is not withered in autumn. On the 24 th Bridge on a moonlit night, where can jade people teach to play the flute? " 2. The poem "Farewell" says: "When you are down and out, you bring wine, and your waist is thin and your palm is light. I dreamed of Yangzhou for ten years and won the reputation of a brothel. " 3. The poem "Two Farewells" says: "The flowers are more than thirteen, and the cardamom is in the first two months. It is better to roll up the bead curtain when the spring breeze is ten miles along Yangzhou Road. " Imagine the Twenty-four Bridges, where the waves are gurgling, the Leng Yue is silent, the jade man is neutral, and the flute is singing softly. Yangzhou at night is romantic, and only one bridge leads to many romantic memories. Although the fireworks and dancing in Liuxiang have long faded, the aftertaste is still visible. I only sigh about countless affairs, but I only know that Yangzhou, a romantic land, makes poets and poets feel lost. They never stop describing the graceful posture and gentle feelings of Yangzhou brothel women. However, people can't help themselves in the Jianghu. A moment of joy makes women keep the solemn oath that poets can never fulfill, and they are doomed to owe Yangzhou women one acacia debt after another. From then on, the woman who woke up from the bead curtain frequently added a little melancholy and sadness to her brow. Pity them for entering poetry and painting, but it is not their own fate. Black tea adds fragrance, Yangzhou is a dream of a brothel with a bead curtain, and it is a happiness that temporarily forgets sorrow when drunk, but it is light but true. "Yangzhou head, Suzhou foot, Luoyang daughter's good arm" really wants to have a dream in Yangzhou, in which I want to be a Yangzhou woman, intoxicated, dancing and laughing proudly in the lyrics assigned to me by the poet. But! Wait a minute! Who can promise me a future when I smile at my beautiful family as flowers and dance with a slender and soft waist as silk? Three, Yangzhou Slender West Lake: I just know that missing is always thinner than that West Lake! Farewell to Meng Haoran on the way to Yangzhou (Li Bai), an old friend of the Yellow Crane Tower, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. My friend's sail shadow faded away and disappeared at the end of the blue sky, only seeing the first line of the Yangtze River and heading for the distant horizon. Mountains and rivers nourish humanities, and humanities stay in mountains and rivers, and one place is romantic, and one person is one sex. I used to watch TV sketches and compare Hangzhou West Lake, Huizhou West Lake and Yangzhou West Lake. These three West Lakes are not only beautiful in scenery, but more importantly, many literati and poets are here to recite poems and compose poems, and they are reluctant to return. For example, Su Shi and Bai Juyi. For the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, what is most worth mentioning is Li Bai's famous farewell sentence "Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March", which puts his feelings in a vast time and space and leaves a magnificent imagination for future generations. Yangzhou has become a tiny point, at the far end. However, Li Bai personally went to Yangzhou, but failed to leave any poems related to Yangzhou and Slender West Lake. Probably those people with broad vision and chivalrous spirit find it difficult to stretch here, so they simply go to handle business and play games. But hidden dragon in thin water is still very crowded, with Ouyang Xiu, Du Mu and others gathered. Slender West Lake is only relative to Hangzhou West Lake. If the West Lake in Hangzhou is like a graceful young woman, then the slender West Lake is like a quiet and slender little jasper, with flowers and willows on both sides of the narrow water, exquisite curves, thin but not weak. The water in Slender West Lake is very close to the shore, almost on the same plane, like jade with edges. Especially in the wind on the shore, willows and water blend together and have a unique charm. It is particularly poetic to put a bottle of wind on the Slender West Lake in March, or to fold a few willows as gifts. Strolling around the Slender West Lake, Wu Diqing's fireworks in March are playing in the headphones: "The Yellow Crane Tower holds your hand, and the waves of the Yangtze River send you down to Yangzhou. With true feelings, spring scenery is reserved for you. Bridge 24 pays attention to Yangzhou on a moonlit night. Is there a good friend like me in Yangzhou city? Is there anyone in Yangzhou who is as worried and worried as you? Is there a bosom friend like me in Yangzhou city? Is there anyone in Yangzhou who is in the same boat with you? Fireworks are willows that keep breaking in March. In my dream, Jiangnan is an inexhaustible wine. When the lonely sail sailed, I realized that missing is always thinner than the West Lake. " Although the lyrics are short, it really makes my nose sour and my mood sink. Slender West Lake is really thin. You can't appreciate her beauty with a playful attitude, but you will only think that she is a weak little girl with poor development. But with an exploratory attitude, you will find that she is as thin as essence and can see the power of personality. In this increasingly plump era, plump things are elsewhere. The fatter the fat man is, the thinner the thin man is. The beauty of balance, which was once produced by the interdependence of inner and outer glory, is now only a thin man for thousands of years. Fourth, the flower of Yangzhou: How gratifying and how sad! 1. Qionghua: What a relief! Han Qi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote "Poems on Qionghua": "There is no similar flower in the four seas, and this one is unique, and it is precious in the ancestral temple every year." If you go to Yangzhou in the green and thin season, you will naturally want to see the world-famous Qionghua. "Don't reward Joan Bloom, come to Yangzhou City for nothing." . Daming temple is a good place to see Qionghua. Walking into the spacious courtyard in front of the plain building, you can see more than a dozen Qionghua trunks leaning against the wall, full of sadness. The buds on the tree are covered with branches, many and dense, full of colors, such as the brilliance of beautiful jade and the crystal of snow. Elegant and plump; It is both elegant and beautiful. Fairy is graceful, open and dignified, unique and lovely. Because Qionghua is beautiful, poets and scribes of all ages have recited many of its poems. When Ouyang Xiu was appointed as the magistrate of Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, he specially built a "peerless pavilion" next to the world-famous Qionghua in Houtu Temple in the city, chanting poems: "Qionghua Peony has nothing to do with the world, so I will complain if I don't write a poem. I was drunk in Wushuangting, and I knew I was not responsible for Guangling Spring. " Later, Qin Guan also sang a poem "Qionghua" on the "Wu Shuangting": "People cherish the moon the most. Seeing a broken heart in a foreign land, the poor flower moon should know. " In this praise, Yangzhou Qionghua won the reputation of being favored by everyone. Standing under the Qionghua tree, I think of the flowers of the past, and my heart is full of infinite yearning. According to historical records, Yangzhou Qionghua has a history of more than 2,000 years. Scarcity is precious, and it is endowed with national color, so people often want to keep it for themselves, perhaps because of the limitations of climate and soil conditions. Qionghua has only a soft spot for Yangzhou since ancient times. The local tour guide said that Qionghua could not be transplanted and would die as soon as it was picked. She was transplanted to Kaifeng, Luoyang, Lin 'an and other countries, but they all withered, which made Qionghua the pride of Yangzhou, which was a gratifying reason. Peony: How sad! "Yangzhou Slow" Jiang Kui (Song Dynasty): "Xi Chun Shen Bing went to Japan, and I went to Weiyang. At the beginning of the night snow, the wheat is looking forward to it. Into its city, depression, cold water green, twilight gradually, sad corner; Huai Yu is very sad, feeling the past and the present, because he likes this song very much. The old man in Yan Qian thought it was sad for him to leave. Huaizuomingdu, Zhuxi is a good place with few saddles on the initial journey. Ten miles after the spring breeze, the wheat is green. Since Huma went to see the river, he abandoned the trees by the pool and still hated talking about soldiers. It's getting late and everything is empty. Du Lang Jun's reward, even now, is too heavy to be surprising. Vertically speaking, although the dream of a brothel is good, it is difficult to be affectionate. The 24th Bridge is still there, the waves are swaying, and Leng Yue is silent. Read the red medicine by the bridge, who do you know every year? " Time turned to AD 1 176, and Taoist Baishi passed by Yangzhou, where the former "Bamboo Sea and Western Heaven" was completely destroyed by Jin Bing. There is no jade man blowing on the bridge, only a wave of hearts. Komori's dream of Yangzhou, which he slept for ten years, woke up, fell and dispersed. The lonely ancient capital was only peony red, and spring came and winter came. Jiang Kui wrote this tragic and thought-provoking word, describing the desolate scene of Yangzhou ancient city, pointing out the reasons for its ruin, and reflecting the author's yearning for the motherland and deep concern for its future. Although there are many works reflecting the rise and fall of Yangzhou in Song Ci, they are not as deep and sad as Jiang Kui's Ci, full of emotion, and people can never get tired of reading them. As soon as this word came out, I don't know how many people's Yangzhou dreams added some melancholy red medicine. From Four-phase Praise to Red Medicine by the Bridge, when the peony by the bridge is swaying in the wind, her body vaguely reflects the rise and fall of a dynasty. Fifth, the end: I only hope that Acacia will last forever, and my soul will go around Yangzhou. At the end of Linjiang Xian written by Shi Dazu, a famous poet in the mid-Southern Song Dynasty: "Worry about the west wind and go to the clear autumn every year. Old curtain tours Yangzhou. A dream is a dream, and a double moon is a building. Luo Dai's Yuanyang dust is hazy and even more ethereal and romantic. There is tenderness in the world. Thin should be because of this thinness, and shame is also the shame of Lang. Ten miles of spring breeze, two bright moons, Ruixian flew to Qionglou, watching the ice flowers break into jade. I want to be long, stand tall, with real bones, flying swallows and romantic, fragrant and beautiful. " Peony swaying beside the tea bridge, the soul leads the shadow of the twenty-four bridges; The lonely sail is over, and the story of the small town is still being sung; Miss the fireworks in March, but dream of never waking up for a thousand years. Is the town still prosperous in Tang and Song Dynasties? In the midst of prosperity, has it penetrated the haze of misty rain? Is there still intoxicating carmine in the haze? Drunk for thousands of years, driving a canoe, drinking poetry and the second month of the world, listening, who is the jade man's Xiao Sheng rowing through this silent long night and breaking a dream of the world of mortals? I only hope that acacia will last forever, and the soul will surround Yangzhou!
