(around 853 A.D.) to avoid chaos into Hongzhou Xishan. Xiantongzhong (around 866 A.D.) spent his time in Jiangxi Province. He went to the mountains and talked about every day. He sent prostitutes to build flowers, but Tao did not answer. There is a saying in Lotus poem that "a scholar does not have a dream of Wu Gorge, but a balcony under the cloud and rain". At parting, Tao also wrote poems to send. It is said that he went up to heaven later. (the whole Tang Dynasty poem "when I was in high school, I traveled to Chang'an.". In the Southern Tang Dynasty, the west mountain of Yinhong Prefecture was built. I don't know what I'll end up with. Shengyuan is 90 years away from Dazhong middle school.

brief introduction

Chen Tao (around 841 ad living) word Songbo, since the number of three religious cloth clothes, Poyang Jianpu people. All Tang poems are written by Lingnan people. The year of birth and death and life of Wu Zong in Tang Dynasty are unknown, about the time of Huichang in Tang Dynasty. Gongshi is known for its simplicity. Many times he failed to become a scholar, so he lived in seclusion and called himself the three religions cloth clothes. "Chen Tao" in volume 745 of complete Tang poetry is said to be "a person from Lingnan (one cloud in Poyang, one cloud in Jianpu). However, judging from his poems such as a dream in Minchuan, and the fact that Jianshui (in the southeast of Nanping City, Fujian Province, i.e. the upper reaches of Minjiang River) is called "Jiashan" (a gift to Luo Zhongcheng of Fujian Road), he is a native of Jianpu (now Nanping City, Fujian Province), while Lingnan (now Guangdong and Guangxi Province) or Poyang (now Poyang City, Jiangxi Province) are only his ancestral home.

In his early years, he traveled to Chang'an and was good at astronomy, especially poetry. He was not the first scholar, so he went on a tour of famous mountains. When Xuanzong Dazhong (847-860) lived in seclusion in Xishan of Hongzhou (in the west of Xinjian County in Jiangxi Province), he didn't know what to do. There are ten volumes of poems, which have been lost. Later generations compiled one volume of Chen Songbo's poetry collection.

Poetry

On the way to Tongshan, first send to Han Shijun, Wenzhou

In the chaos of mountains and sea, there is Hengyang road.

Beam horse over Tongliang, Tiaohua sit old.

The dove calls, the cliff breaks, the bear fights, the tree falls.

There is no kunwei in the gully, but canghao in the forest.

Join a couple and join in reading soap.

Pitching chestnut embedded in the air, no reason for duoling grass.

Ladder poor hear garrison drum, soul continue to rely on Qiu pray.

Open heaven and earth, lingering Village good.

Long thinking of Jiang Jing, disturbing Shang Hao.

Think of Yongjia Marquis, should hurt this embrace.

[note] Hengyang is located in the north of Fuding City, which is now part of Cangnan, Pingyang and Taishun counties in Zhejiang Province. In the first year of Dazu (A.D. 701), Empress Wu Zetian of Zhou Dynasty separated and rebuilt from Angu County of Wenzhou (the county territory includes Pingyang, Cangnan, Rui'an, Wencheng and Taishun of Zhejiang Province), so it was named Hengyu because of its Yangyu.

Tongshan is now Fuding City. After Song Dynasty, he wrote "Tongshan". The fourth volume of Funing Prefecture annals, geography annals, mountains and rivers, Fuding County, says: "Tongshan is the present county government, with flat and broad slopes. There are many old trees, so it's named. It is also called Tongchuan. " However, according to Chen Tao's poem, the so-called "Tongshan" is the sound of "Tongshan"; its name is "Tongshan", because the stone color of the place is like "copper", or the stone beams are like copper across the gully, rather than "old Tongshan"; the Tang people's "Tongshan" does not only refer to today's Fuding "county and city location", but also refers to the poet's crossing mountains and mountains, following the sea to the south, passing the "Hengyang", thus entering the Tang Dynasty The place name of the mountain area with "Tongliang" is equivalent to the whole territory of Fuding. Copper is light purplish red or red. Today, most of Fuding City and Xiapu County are also called "Chian township" in Tang Dynasty (see my book "does the empty sea enter the Tang Dynasty in Xiapu Chian village?"? 》, published in Mindong daily, September 15, 1999. It can be seen that the origin of the name "Chian" is related to the stone color of Fuding.

In Tang Dynasty, there are two main routes from Fuzhou to Chang'an. One is a straight line, that is, from Fuzhou, through Nanping, Chongan, Wuyishan, into Jiangxi, down the river into Pengli lake, out of the Hukou into Xunyang River; upstream to Hankou, then straight up along the Han River, from Shangzhou over Qinling to Chang'an. One is a curve, that is, from Fuzhou, through Nanping and Pucheng, across xianxialing, into Jiangshan of Zhejiang, all the way down to Hangzhou; through Jiangnan River, north to the Yangtze River, from shanyangdu to Huaihe and Bianhe, through Kaifeng and Luoyang, to Chang'an. Now, as evidenced by Chen Tao's poem "send to Han Shijun in Wenzhou on the way to Tongshan", we can boldly announce that there is a "third" route from Fuzhou to Chang'an, the capital of Tang Dynasty, which is through lianjiang, Ningde, Baima port in Fu'an (called Huangqi port in the late Tang Dynasty), yangjiaxi in Xiapu, Fenshuiguan in Fuding, and Pingyang, Wenzhou, Yueqing in Zhejiang Province At that time, the famous "road of Tang poetry" was lost.

Longxi travel

He swore to sweep the Huns, and five thousand Diao brocade lost the dust of Hu.

Pitifully, I am still in my dream.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty swore to sweep the Xiongnu to the death. Five thousand elite soldiers in brocade robes died in Huchen.

What a pity! The white bones piled up by the indefinite River are still the lovers of young women in their dreams.

[appreciation] there are four songs in Longxi Xing, which is the second one. The first two sentences are about the loyalty and bravery of the officers and soldiers, and the death of many people; the last two sentences are about the victims who are the lovers of the young lady of spring who are looking forward to coming back and reuniting day and night. The whole poem reflects the pain and disaster brought by the long-term war in Tang Dynasty, and expresses the non war emotion. 3、 Four or two sentences, compared with "the bone by the river" and "the man in the dream of the lady of spring", are just like the montage in the movie, with wonderful intention. The poem is sorrowful and full of tears.

The first two sentences narrate a generous, solemn and stirring scene of fierce fighting in concise and general language. The Tang army vowed to kill the enemy, but in the end, all the 5000 soldiers died. "Swearing to sweep" and "disregarding" show the loyalty, bravery and dedication of the officers and men of the Tang army. In the Han Dynasty, the badminton army was dressed in royal clothes and mink fur. The fact that the troops are so excellent, with 5000 dead, shows the intensity of the fighting and the heavy casualties.

Then, with a turn of the pen, he forced out the correct meaning: "poor Wuding riverside bone, still a dream girl." There is no direct description of the tragic scene brought about by the war, nor does it exaggerate the sadness of the family. Instead, it is ingenious to connect the "riverside bone" with the "spring boudoir dream". It is written that the wife in the boudoir does not know that she died in the war, but still wants to see her husband in her dream, which makes the whole poem produce tragic power that shakes the soul. Knowing the death of one's relatives will certainly cause sorrow, but knowing the whereabouts of one's relatives is, after all, a relief. Here, long years of silence, people have become the bones of the river, but his wife is still in a dream, looking forward to his early return and reunion. When disaster and misfortune come to us, we are not only unaware of it, but also full of ardent hope. This is the real tragedy.

Yang Shen's Sheng'an Shihua in Ming Dynasty thinks that this poetic use of the Han Dynasty Jia's Yi Ba Zhu Ya Shu "father died in front of the battle, son was injured after the fight, woman took Ting Zhang, orphan in the road, old mother and widowed wife weeping Lane cry, set up a virtual sacrifice, want to soul thousands of miles away", called it "a change and wonderful, really reborn.". Jia Wen tried to play up the sad atmosphere of the orphan and widowed mother's long-distance sacrifice and soul searching, crying bitterly in the Tao. In the article, the family members "set sacrifices" and "thought of souls", obviously known to have died in the war. The young woman in Chen Tao's poem is convinced that her husband is still alive, has no doubt that he has died, and meets in several dreams. The poetry is more profound, the scene is more miserable, so it can make people shed tears of sympathy.

The ups and downs of this poem lie in three or four sentences. "Pitiful" sentence is closely connected with the former sentence, which is the meaning of this topic; "still is" sentence opens up a new situation. "The bones of the Wuding River" and "the people in the dream of the spring boudoir" are the reality and the dream on one side, the sad and desolate bones on the other side, and the young and handsome soldiers on the other side. The reality is opposite and the prosperity is different, which creates a strong artistic effect. A "pitiful" and a "still is" contain how deep emotion, condense the poet's feeling of death in war
