He was a litterateur, scholar and official in Ming Dynasty. He was the first of the three talented scholars in Ming Dynasty and the son of Yang Tinghe, a Bachelor of Dongge University.
In 1511, Yang Shen was the number one scholar in the sixth year of Zhengde reign of emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty. He was authorized to write by the Imperial Academy and participated in the compilation of the record of emperor Wuzong. When Wuzong went out of Juyong Pass, Yang Shen went up to resist remonstrance. Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and was appointed as an official of the Imperial Academy. In the third year of Jiajing period (1524), he was involved in the event of "Dali discussion", which angered Shizong and was demoted to yongchangwei of Yunnan Province. When he was in southern Yunnan, he led a family slave to help pacify the rebellion of Anquan and wudingfeng in XUNDIAN. After that, although he traveled to Sichuan and Yunnan, he was still old at yongchangwei. In 1559, Yang Shen died in the garrison at the age of 72. In the Ming Dynasty, Mu Zong pursued Shaoqing of Guanglu temple, and in the Ming Dynasty, Xi Zong pursued Wenxian, known as Yang Wenxian.
Yang Shen has been in southern Yunnan for 30 years and read a lot. Later on, Yang Shen was regarded as the first to discuss the erudition of recitation and the wealth of works in Ming Dynasty. He was also able to write essays, CI and Sanqu, and his works on ancient textual research were quite extensive. His poems were deep and vigorous in the Six Dynasties, and were collected from the late Tang Dynasty. He was a profound and beautiful Ci poem with profound attainments, independent of the prevailing trend at that time. There are more than 400 kinds of works, which are compiled as Sheng'an collection by later generations.
Life of the characters
become a great man
Yang Shen was born on November 6 (December 8) in the first year of Hongzhi (1488). He was the grandson of Yang Chun, a scholar of Wu Ying Dian and a minister of Li Department. He has been intelligent and studious since he was a child, and he was born in a scholarly family, so he received a good family education since he was a child. At the age of seven, Yang Shen's mother taught him to recite and recite jueju in Tang Dynasty. At the age of 11, he can write modern poetry. When he was 12 years old, he intended to write "diaogu battlefield essay", which had the aphorism of "the soul of brothel breaks red powder, and the bone of green moss shines in the day". Ruihong, his uncle's servant in the Army Department, read it very highly and wrote "Guo Qin Lun" again. After reading it, his grandfather said with pride: "my family Jia Yi also" (Chen Wenzhu's chronicle of Yang Shengan). One day, his father and uncles looked at paintings and asked Sheng'an, "if the scenery is beautiful, people say it looks like a painting; if the painting is good, people say it looks like true. Which one is right?" He was asked to write a poem to explain it. Sheng an thought a little, and wrote a poem immediately: "knowing that the landscape is really picturesque, and the famous master's painting is like real; dreaming that it is difficult to separate the imperial bandits, and presenting the images to the poets of Jin Dynasty." When he was 13 years old, he joined the capital with his father. Along the way, he wrote poems such as farewell poems over Weicheng, ode to frost leaves, poems chanting maweipo, etc. his yellow leaf poems made a sensation in Beijing. At that time, Li Dongyang, the leader of the Chaling poetry school and the first assistant of the cabinet, called Yang Shen "little friend".
When Yang Shen was 21 years old, he took part in the examination. The examiners Wang Wei and Liang Chu had listed the articles written by Yang Shen at the beginning of the paper. Unexpectedly, the candle fell on the examination paper and burned out, which made it famous. Hit by the accident, Yang Shen was not disheartened. After several years of hard work, Yang Shen finally won the imperial examination in 1511 when he was twenty-four years old. Since then, Yang Shen officially stepped on the political stage of the Ming Dynasty. After his mother died, he went back to his hometown to watch the funeral. After mourning, he returned to the Imperial Academy.
Moving away from illness
Yang Shen's political career was very bumpy. He is upright and not afraid of power. Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty ignored the government and liked to play around. Aiming at this kind of behavior, Yang Shen presented a memorial to Dingchou Fengshi in 1517, accusing Wuzong of "acting rashly instead of doing something" and persuading him to stop this absurd behavior. Wu Zong didn't pay attention at all, and still went his own way. Yang Shen had no choice but to ask for leave and resign.
Antipodal tingzhang
In 1521, Emperor Wuzong died. Because Wuzong had no son, after the discussion between empress Zhang and Yang Tinghe, Zhu Houfu, his cousin and king of Xing, was appointed as emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty. After emperor Shizong ascended the throne, he granted Yang Shen the title of Imperial Academy's Xiuzhuan and Jingyan lecturer.
In the second year of Jiajing (1523), Yang Shen participated in the compilation of Wu Zong Shi Lu and served as the editor.
Yang Shen used the opportunity to teach Shizong, and often contacted the actual situation at that time to educate Shizong. For example, Zhang Rui, Yu Jing and other sycophants who had been sentenced to death but had not been killed, Shizong made an exception to pardon them for their death because of their wanton bribery. When Yang Shen lectured at the Sutra feast, he specially selected the chapter of "money for ransom" in the book of history, and told Shizong: "the system of ransom by saints is used for those who have minor faults, hoping for the people's self-renewal; if they commit great evils, there is no reason to redeem them." Shizong was very unhappy after hearing this, so he often stopped talking for an excuse. Because of his upright character, Yang Shen was not only unhappy with the emperor, but also resentful to the traitors. Although he was ambitious and tried to serve the country, his political ability was difficult to display at that time.
Especially in the dispute of the cabinet's "Dali discussion", Yang Shen's "rebellious" style was highlighted. At that time, Shizong ascended the throne in the way of "brother ending brother" and according to the rules of succession of the emperor, he had to admit that Xiaozong was "huangkao" and was worshipped in the imperial temple; his biological father could only be called "his own biological father" or "imperial uncle". On the sixth day after emperor Shizong ascended the throne, he issued an imperial edict to the ministers to agree that his own father would offer the king as "imperial examination" and treat him according to the emperor's title and sacrificial rites. Thus, imperial unification and family became the issue of dispute among cabinet ministers at that time. At that time, in order to cater to Shangyi, Zhang Cong, GUI calyx and other new nobles attached themselves to power and traitors, and advocated that Ruizong (Zhu Youying, king of Xingxian) should be added between Xianzong and Wuzong. Yang Tinghe, his father and son and many ministers firmly opposed it. To this end, Yang Tinghe resigned and returned to Li. Yang Shen repeatedly wrote to resign, unwilling to work with Zhang, GUI and other "shameless villains". Emperor Shizong was so angry that he officially ordered his father to be emperor Gongmu, and Yang Shen also admonished Fengxi. The emperor Shizong was even more enraged and used violence to suppress it. "He ordered the eight leaders to issue an imperial edict to prison.". The news spread and the crowd was furious. Yang Shen gathered more than 200 Jinshi in the same year to review Wang Yuanzheng and other people. He said excitedly, "it's 150 years since the state raised the Jinshi. Today, we are fighting and dying." As a result, in the area of jinshuiqiao and zuoshunmen, Liegong cried out in protest against the illegal arrest of courtiers. Shizong was so angry that he caught them all in the imperial prison and punished them. Yang Shen was arrested on July 15. On July 17, he was killed and revived by tingzhang. Ten days later, he almost died in tingzhang, and then he was exiled to yongchangwei (now Baoshan County, Yunnan Province).
Exile in southern Yunnan
When Emperor Wuzong died and Emperor Shizong didn't arrive, Yang Tinghe took charge of the government for 37 days. He dismissed many officials who abused military exploits. After Yang Shen was demoted, the deposed aggressors recruited some outlaws to ambush on the road and wait for an opportunity to kill him. After Yang Shen knew it, he took precautions all the way. When he arrived in Linqing County, these talents dispersed. He was very tired after riding for nearly ten thousand li. When he arrived at yongchangwei, he almost couldn't recover.
During the long 30 years of exile in southern Yunnan, Yang Shen was not passive and decadent because of the bad environment. He not only expressed his love for the mountains and rivers, but also wrote carefully for the Bai nationality. Everywhere they go, they often express their political enthusiasm by chanting Bian Saiqi, flowers and grasses. In nanzhiqu, he describes himself as Lao Mei, who was born in a "poor mountain" and "extremely independent" and has a fragrance of his own; in Camellia, he praises Camellia for its bravery of cold and its arrogance of "green leaves and red Ying fighting snow". In the chanting of things, there is an honest personality and ideal.
What is more valuable is that during his exile, Yang Shen was still concerned about the sufferings of the people and did not forget the state affairs. For example, when he found that the gentry in Kunming area, in the name of repairing Haikou, colluded with local officials to occupy the people's land, turn public affairs into private, enrich themselves, and harm the people, he not only wrote poems such as "Haimen line" and "houhaimen line" with awe inspiring justice, but also wrote a special letter to Zhao Jianmen, governor of Yunnan, saying that this battle was "the proposal of the two or three armed men who wanted to seek profits and self-improvement" Stop the so-called water conservancy projects that cost people and money so much.
In the fifth year of Jiajing (1526), Yang Tinghe was ill, and Yang Shen was able to go home for a short visit. Yang Tinghe was very happy, and his illness was cured. After Yang Tinghe recovered, Yang Shen returned to Yongchang. When they heard that Anquan in XUNDIAN and fengchaowen in Wuding were in trouble, they led more than 100 family boys and infantry to mumishuo quickly. They used a plan with Zhang I, the Deputy envoy, to defeat the rebels and put down the rebellion.
In 1529, Yang Tinghe died in Xindu, in 1971. Yang Shen asked the governor Ouyang to return to his hometown to bury his father. After he was approved, he rushed back to Xindu for funeral. After that, they either returned to Sichuan temporarily, or stayed in the capital of Yunnan Province, or stayed in Yongchang, where they were treated well by local officials.
Shizong was extremely resentful of Yang Tinghe and his father and son because of the great ceremony. He often asked about Yang Shen's recent situation, but the minister answered that Yang Shen was "old sick", so Shizong felt a little relieved. When Yang Shen heard about it, he became more dissolute. He often indulges himself in wine and travels to places of interest. "Yuefu Jiwen" said that he "in his spare time, he made red noodles and arranged flowers in a bun, which made the prostitutes march on the wine cups. I'm not ashamed." Zhongshizong I, six amnesties, Yang Shenzhong can not return, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty at the age of 60 can redeem himself back home, but no one dares to accept.
In the 32nd year of Jiajing (1553), with the help of Mu chaobi, the Duke of Guizhou, Yang Shen moved his family to Shu and lived in Jiangyang (Luzhou). In October 1558, the governor sent four commanders back to Yongchang.
