The protagonist of this paper, Chen Ziang, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, adopted a method that you never imagined, which was impressive and incredible. When Chen Ziang is mentioned, many people will think of his famous poem: "Where were those lost times before me?"? Behind me, where are the future generations? I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, I am alone, my tears fall. " This "Youzhou Tower" is not so much a poem as a poet's feeling of indifference to the world. More specifically, it is a poet's rebound from the bottom of his life. After the disillusionment of reality, his grievances in the dreamland become bigger, leaving the world puzzled and many elegant and simple imaginations and artistic conceptions. In fact, after learning about Chen Ziang's life, we can understand this poem. I feel that the poet's heart is full of pain and sorrow, and there is a long embarrassing story. It was after singing this eternal complaint that Master Chen, who was dissatisfied with condescending to be a clerk, resigned and returned to his hometown to support the elderly.

Chen Ziang, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, was one of the innovative figures in the early Tang Dynasty. Word Apollo, Han nationality, Zizhou Shehong people. As a former right gleaner, he was later called Chen gleaner. Jinshi origin, Wu Zetian too orthography, right gleaning. Chen Ziang was born in a wealthy family who managed well salt. His father, a country squire, studied literature and ink at first. He often donated money to the Taoist temple and set up a reading desk in the Taoist temple. Because of this unique condition, Chen Ziang studied hard, read widely and learned more from an early age. Because of his mastery of the subset of classics and history, the imperial examination passed through Longmen smoothly, and he won the Jinshi in 24 years. Great poets pay more attention to their own work on the road of poetry title and official career, but poetry is only a stepping stone to promotion. Although Chen Ziang was appreciated by the local authorities at that time, for example, Wang Shi, a master of Jingzhao, read his poem "Experience" and asserted that "this son will be a scholar in the world", but Chen Ziang was not valued by the world because he was a rookie and lived in the capital for ten years.

Later, Zhang Ailing once said a famous saying: "Be famous early". Presumably, Chen Ziang, who lives in the capital but has nothing to do, is worried. In his ideal, going to the temple to assist the emperor is the right way on earth. Therefore, for the sake of his fame, Chen Ziang did not hesitate to make an outrageous move of self-promotion, which is an unprecedented case in Shilin for thousands of years. In Supplement to Historical Records written by Tang Likang, there is a secret about Chen Ziang's extraordinary behavior.

Flood shooters in Shu. Ten years in the capital, unknown. At that time, there were people selling Huqin in the East City, and the price was several million. Every day someone can't tell the difference between the two. Zi Ang stood out from the crowd and said, "Thousands of cities can be used." Xianmin was frightened and asked, "What's the use?" They replied, "I'm good at it." Or someone who does good says, "You can smell it!" A: "I live in Xuanyangli." Refers to its first place. "And bring wine, waiting for tomorrow. I am lucky to meet not only gentlemen but also celebrities. " Hundreds of people gathered in the morning, which was an honor at that time. Zi Ang's big banquet is a disgrace. After eating, Hu Qin was lifted up. At present, he said, "Chen Ziang, a Schumann, has a hundred writing axes. He has galloped away from the hub of Gyeonggi, and the dust is unknown. This kind of joy, the battle of cheap labor, is it stupid to pay attention! " Give it up. Give it up. Two cases of Zhou Wen were introduced at the meeting. The meeting broke up, and within a day, China's voice overflowed the capital. At that time, Wu Youyi was the King of Jian 'an, and became an archive room. See you later. When I came back from Hajj, I was harmed by Duan Jian.

Chen Ziang's family is very rich. In this way, he is a maverick at the expense of money. He is a metaphor of the world. He only knows Hu Qin's money, but he doesn't know that I have more valuable talents than Hu Qin? This way of secretly selling yourself by destroying the violin with the hook of the huqin is really painstaking, but it is full of good things. Chen Ziang did make a name for himself in Luoyang, the capital city, but Chen Ziang was not willing to be a poet with a reputation as a scholar. His ultimate goal is still career. When the title of the poem was loud and the official career was still bleak, Chen Ziang did not hesitate to take risks and show his face. To this end, he wrote a letter for Wu Zetian, The Book of Driving into Beijing, which was magnificent. Visible Chen Ziang is a talent, and Wu Zetian is also very fond of talent. A Robin King made him feel deeply moved, not to mention a rookie who tried his best to be loyal. The queen made an exception and summoned her, but when she saw Chen Dacai's answer, she was very witty, so the queen sealed Chen's position in a Chinese book province, Lin Tai, which was equivalent to a cabinet minister. Chen Ziang, who was in a good mood, got out of hand and went to the remonstrance book again. Perhaps his ideal is to be a remonstrator like Wei Zhi, but the smell of inviting pets is obvious in his bones. As a result, he won the queen's heart again, and his official position rose to the right, from eight grades to minor courses.

This kind of promotion naturally can't satisfy Chen Ziang's inner desire, because Chen Dacai is very conceited, thinking that he can only bring peace and stability to the country through the world economy, so he put his talents into countless exhortations to the queen, among which "The Book of Exhortation" and "Playing Eight Disciplines for Politics" are very insightful. He thought that the queen, who knows how to make good use of people and loves talents like life, could realize his full ambition of governing the country, but he let him do it. In history, "I am arrogant, but my words are magnificent, which was very important at that time", probably not wronged this great genius, because some of his practices did not conform to the calm and calm of literati, and his personality was also criticized by people at that time.

Although Chen Ziang was not listed as one of the four outstanding writers in the early Tang Dynasty, his exploration of the writing style in the early Tang Dynasty was an immortal milestone in the disillusionment of his official career. In view of the flashy style of poetry in the early Tang Dynasty, he advocated restoring the style of Han and Wei, and opposed the style of writing since Qi and Liang Dynasties. Chen Ziang's poetry style is simple and clear, desolate and vigorous, and the highest literary achievement is thirty-eight poems of Sense. Later, the world did not disclose how he offended Wu Sansi, a trusted minister of Wu Zetian in the imperial court. After he wrote this famous saying on the tower of Youzhou, he resigned and went home, and bad luck followed. First, his father died, and then Duan Jian, the county magistrate of Wusan Division, put him in prison. Half a month later, he "died of grief and indignation, over forty years old", a great poet in the early Tang Dynasty who ruined his piano and scattered poems and fantasized about making a difference in politics.
