[living in the pond at night]

[Zhao Beikou's carp eating mouth]

Shouguang New Year's Eve

The scenery of my hometown has become more and more beautiful. a year goes to the end of the night, and all feelings will be born from now on. Looking at the white clouds and the wild geese, burning the red candle and listening to the sound of the chicken. Qiu kongwai, the first son of Qin Dynasty, was full of love.

[he Qian Xiaoyu Taishi's eight chants of plum blossom (Part Eight)]

Cherish the first branch of the east wind, the talent of fragrance. the people of the official pavilion are here, and the dream of the palace is unknown. Baishi's Ci poems are about immortals turning over old walls, and Qingqiu's Ju Shi's poems are about new poems. when we meet, we just smile and let it go.

A letter from sister Xiangqing

mianmian is far away from the thread, which is hard to extend, and he is filled with emotion for the plum blossom. What's more, the north and the south are waiting for spring. In front of the embroidered window, the moon is abundant and the snow is beautiful. I don't know. After years of parting, the spring breeze is still blooming.

Crossing Yangzi River

rolling silver waves, endless writing, heart blood. At that time, Jinshan battle drum, Hongyan meritorious service. Su Ji's seal is hard to hang behind the elbow, and Jiang Yan's pen is left in the bag. It's hard to say how many heroes there are in ancient times. looking at Beigu, autumn smoke is blue; referring to Fuyu, autumn sun comes out. Lean the window over and knock it out. The wandering man's clothes are mixed with tears, and his temples are covered with frost and snow. Ask Cang Cang, what do I want to do when I am born, and give birth to setbacks.

Literary friends

Shen Shanbao's life journey and literary intercourse can be divided into two periods according to his 30 years old. His early journey and literary intercourse were basically between Jiangnan Caiyuan, male friends and elders. His poetry creation in this period was compiled as the first collection of Hongxue Lou Poetry (four volume edition) and Hongxue Lou Ci, which were completed one after another before he went to Beijing, which became the summary of his early literary creation achievements. After he went to Beijing, Shen Shanbao's literary friends not only continued his relationship with Jiangnan Caiyuan, who was also an official in the capital, but also met Caiyuan from all over the world, especially those who came from Manchuria aristocracy, such as Gu Taiqing (1799-1876). Shen Shanbao's later poems were collected in the 15 volume book of hongxuelou poems. In addition, on the basis of making friends with various Caiyuan and collecting materials about Caiyuan, Shen Shanbao spent more than ten years to compile "notes on Mingyuan's Poems", which includes the creation and life of Caiyuan from Shunzhi to Xianfeng. And "notes on the poems of celebrities" is also an important basis to investigate his later literary friends.

Later travel

Shen Shanbao arrived in Beijing in the winter of the 17th year of Daoguang. After a little preparation, she got married at the order of her adoptive mother the next year, and then stayed in Beijing with the officials, starting a new journey of her life. This is a great turning point in Shen Shanbao's life journey - not only the transfer of regional space and the improvement of economic conditions, but also the change of humanistic environment and cultural atmosphere. Shen Shanbao lived in Beijing for 17 years from the year of Shi to the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854). This period should be the most stable period in Shen Shanbao's life. However, in 1844 and 1846, the youngest daughter Ziwei and her second son Ziyou died one after another. In the autumn of the 28th year of Daoguang, he went back to Beijing with his husband and his second daughter Jianxia. First he came to Anhui, then he returned to Hangzhou, and then he wandered to other places. Wu Lingyun may have returned to Beijing first. In the winter of the 30th year of Daoguang, Shen Shanbao and his second girlfriend Yu "returned to Hangzhou to visit their tombs"; the next year, on March 8, the first year of Xianfeng, he set out for the north, passing through Jiaxing, Yangzhou, Taoyuan, Zaohe Pizhou, Dishang, Tongshan, Dongping, Tengxian and other places arrived in Kyoto after "four thousand miles of peach and willows and fifty days of boat ride". He wrote more than ten poems along the way. It took more than two years to return to the south, extending from the autumn of the 28th year of Daoguang to the spring of the first year of Xianfeng. The activity area also expanded from Anhui and Hangzhou to Jiaxing and Yangzhou, and had quite frequent literary activities with talented women from all over the world.

Form of friendship

The main form of Shen Shanbao's literary communication with Caiyuan in the capital is entertainment and singing. In the next 12 years, Shen Shanbao and his friends continued to enjoy the lotus in chiwuzhuang, youanmenwai in the south of the city, the Babaoshan in the west of the city, the Cuiwei mountain, the chrysanthemum in Yuyuan Lujing mountain room, the Begonia in hongyuxuan, the Begonia in Huayuan temple in the west suburb, and the Xihai Lake in Shichahai. In these activities, entertainment and singing are closely linked, there is entertainment, there must be singing. The latter seems to be the product of the former, but it also seems to show that the former is only a means or a way, and the latter is the end. If we look at the activities of Caiyuan poetry club, the latter understanding is reasonable. All the talented women Shen Shanbao made friends with were the wives of scholarly families or official families, which made Shen Shanbao and his friends' life and creative outlook have greater limitations. In other words, the life and creation of Shen Shanbao and his friends are estranged from the real society to a certain extent.

The significance of making friends

The individual significance of Shen Shanbao's early friendship highlights that Caiyuan in the Jiadao period of the Qing Dynasty had obtained greater personal freedom and ideological freedom. Then, the group significance of Shen Shanbao's later friendship shows that Caiyuan in the Daoxian period had further obtained greater space for activities. These changes are obviously closely related to the evolution and development of the times, which shows that the talented women at that time, the vanguard of women's world, have gradually transited from the traditional society to the modern society.

The past

In the last days of his life, Shen Shanbao returned to Beijing. On June 11, the first year of tongzhi (1862), Shen Shanbao, a talented woman, died in Beijing at the age of 55. Fortunately, on the eve of his death, Shen Shanbao had a deep communication with his best friend Gu Taiqing. The third part of Gu Taiqing's "crying for Xiang Pei San Mei" and its notes are quite detailed. The poem said: "every heart to heart hate separated from the heavy city, hand Yiyi do not want to line. One word competes to become today's prophecy, and you are brothers. " "My sister died on June 11, the first year of Tongzhi. When I visited on May 29, my sister suddenly said, "how can I repay my sister?" Yu replied, "what can sisters say to each other! I wish the two of us would be the same in the next life. " My sister said, "not only in the next life, but also in the future." I said, "this alliance has been established." I've been away for ten days, but it's not painful

evaluate

Shen Shanbao has a high sense of female consciousness. She not only wrote "notes on the poems of celebrities", which fully affirmed the achievements of female literary creation of her time, but also created a large number of poems and Ci poems with the theme of outstanding women in history or legendary stories, looking for the glorious footprints of women represented by outstanding women They preach women's wisdom, potential and rights to themselves, others and society. Because she awakened, but could not find a way out, so she was resentful, but she did not depressed. Throughout her life, she worked hard to interpret her glorious life, and made great contributions to the inheritance of female literary tradition.
