Shi (992— 1040), whose real name is Yan nian, whose character is An Ren, and whose alias is Bao Laozi, is a famous poet and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, with a secret office and an official position of Zhong Yun. Shi is brilliant and famous all over the world, and many scholars make friends with him. The famous poet Mei praised his poem: "The stars are shining." Liu Kezhuang, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, commented on his poems: "Qing Ba is strong." . Ouyang Xiu, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, said: "Poetry has never been proud, and its appearance is William. His poems are excellent. He also writes books, his pen is vigorous and his body is beautiful, which is precious to the world. " After the death of Shi, Ouyang Xiu also made a special "Sacrifice to Qingwen", which spoke highly of him.
Shi's character is free and easy, bold and broad-minded. He is not polite and does not seek fame and fortune. According to the Northern Song Dynasty's "Continued Ink Man Waving Rhinoceros", at first, he was admitted to the Jinshi Examination. But then someone complained that someone cheated in the exam. The court then ordered a retest. As a result, some people failed in the second interview, and Shi is one of them. Knowing this news, the people left behind were shocked, and some even burst into tears. Only Shi is very calm. He casually took off the robe and boots given by the court and gave them back to the messenger. Then he put on his underwear, put on his hat and talked and drank with his friends as if nothing had happened. Afterwards, he also wrote a poem "The Next Accidental Achievement": "Nian came and went last year, on the wedding dress for other girls. Laugh and watch the sky go out and dance alone in the spring breeze. "
This is a poem with a set of sentences, in which "Wedding clothes for other girls" is the conclusion of Zhen's "Notes on Good Songs" in A Dream of Red Mansions:
"It's too noisy, you sing me on the stage, and you deny that your hometown is your hometown; That's ridiculous. In the end, I was making wedding dresses for other girls! "
For scholars, the fall of Sun Shan is undoubtedly the most tragic moment. The imperial examination seems fair, but in fact the quota is limited, and most people are doomed to be losers. I have been studying hard all my life and have been very busy. In the end, I'm just acting as a foil to others. Think about it, Cao Xueqin must have had such an experience, a painful experience.
Later, the wronged history was awarded a "third-class loan" by the court, which was the lowest level of official position. Shi also wrote a quatrain: "If you have no talent, you can borrow three shifts to pay for the composition. Since then, it has been called Xianggong, and it has to go all the way. " Shi cleverly embedded the imperial examination and official names in his poems, satirizing and mocking the absurd practices of the imperial court and expressing his contempt for the imperial examination system and the promotion of officialdom.
For the first time in A Dream of Red Mansions, an empty Taoist saw family trivia, boudoir leisure and poetry riddles in the article narrated by Brother Shi. There is also a poem at the end, which says, "No talent can fill the sky. If you waste your time in the world of mortals, it will be many years." This department is behind us. Who will remember to make a strange biography? "
This is undoubtedly the author's summary statement of his life experience. It can be seen that Cao Xueqin, like Shi, is proud of "incompetence", which reflects their loss of incompetence and inability to serve the country.
Shi is a man of temperament. After he entered the officialdom, his nature cannot be changed, and he is still upright and upright. As a result, his career fate became ups and downs and suffered a lot.
According to the records of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Lu by Xing Jushi, a famous poem and wine by Shi, is humorous and regarded as Li Bai's near-re-embodiment. When Shi was an official in North Korea, he went to visit ning guo si one day. The groom was careless for a moment, and his mount jumped up in fear and threw the stone off his horse. The waiter quickly helped him up. Many onlookers thought he would be angry. Unexpectedly, he pointed to the groom and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I am a bachelor of stone. If I am a bachelor of tile, I am afraid I will be smashed this time. " Shi laughed at himself easily, which not only eliminated his embarrassment, but also resolved the groom's fear.
Shi made rude remarks in court, offended powerful people and was demoted to Haizhou as a judge. According to Sheng's "Sun Gong Tan Pu", it is recorded: "Stone tells that Haizhou is high, the road is blocked, and there are no flowers, which makes people wrap peaches (peach trees) in mud and throw them on the mountains. In a few years, the flowers will be as rotten as splendid. " It can be seen that Shi is also a person who loves life, pursues beauty and is full of romantic interest.
Shi loves to drink and is also a human being. He is William. J-looking and proud wine "and" self-care is outdated, but mixed wine ". According to legend, Song Renzong liked his talent and advised him to give up drinking. Later, he became ill after drinking and died young at the age of 49. After Shi's death, people still remember him for a long time and have interpreted many legends. According to Ouyang Xiu's poem of June 1st, "After Man Qing's death, his old friend was in a trance like a dream. They say I am a ghost fairy, and I am the owner of Furong City. If you want to ask an old friend to swim, you can't ride a donkey angrily. "
After Shi's death, it is said that he has become an immortal and become the Lord of Furong. Later generations regarded stone as the flower god of October lotus.
In the seventy-eighth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu specially wrote a eulogy "Daughter of Lotus" to pay homage to the maid Qingwen. The article is written with sincerity and makes people cry. Strangely, Jia Baoyu, a well-read man, actually believed a girl's improvisation, saying that Qingwen became a hibiscus flower god after her death. Perhaps Jia Baoyu got some relief from the girl's words, thus alleviating his guilt about Qingwen's death. However, the person who really understood his eulogy was Lin Daiyu who suddenly came out of the hibiscus flower. Jia Baoyu listened to Daiyu's suggestion and immediately revised the eulogy, saying, "I missed it under the screen window;" Loess in central Gansu, dark victory! "Broken mouth. When Lin Daiyu heard this, she suddenly changed color and was inexplicably confused. According to the article, this "lotus girl" turned out to be the bane of Lin Daiyu's early death.
Hibiscus, also known as "frost-resistant flower", still blooms in Ao Shuang in the face of the harsh environment of "wind, knife, frost and sword". Its delicate and charming style and Ao Shuang's heroic spirit are most suitable for the noble and beautiful Lin Daiyu. Jia Baoyu's noble "hibiscus flower god" is undoubtedly his infatuated sister Lin.
Cao Xueqin and Shi have the same heart, and The Daughter of Lotus pays tribute to such an infatuated species as Shi, which is superior to others. A sad song, screaming, earth-shattering cry, how many people looking for marriage shed tears of sympathy.
