lo bingwang

Luo Binwang (626? - 687?) Yiwu, Wuzhou, is a native of Zhejiang Province. Ministers, poets and scholars of the Tang Dynasty, together with Wang Bo, Yang Jiong and Lu Zhaolin, are called "the four outstanding figures of the early Tang Dynasty".

Luo Binwang was born in a humble family and had few talents. During the Yonghui period, he became the master of literature and martial arts of Li Yuanqing, the king of Taoism, and moved to Chang'an. In the third year of Yifeng's reign (678), he served as a censor. He was jailed for something and was pardoned. Diaolu two years (680), as Linhai County Cheng, sit things removed. In the first year of guangzhai (684), he followed the British Duke Xu Jingye to fight against Wu Zetian, and wrote the battle of Wu. After Xu Jingye's defeat, Luo Binwang's fate was not clear, or he was killed by the army, or he escaped.

Luo Binwang's poems are bold and strict. There are five or seven words in the long chapter "imperial capital chapter", which is a mixture of satire and self injury. Small poems such as "sending people off at Yishui" have 20 words of sadness and generosity, with endless emotions. There is a collection of works of King Luo Bin in the world. In the Qing Dynasty, Chen Xijin compiled notes on Luo Linhai's collection.

Life of the characters

Early years

Luo Bin Wang was born in a poor family, and his name and words came from the divination in the book of changes: "observe the light of the country, and use the guest to the king." At the age of seven, he can write poems and is known as "child prodigy". It is said that "chanting the goose" was written at the age of seven.

Luo Binwang's father, the magistrate of BoChang County in Qingzhou, died in his office. After his father's death, he lived in Boshan, then moved to Xiaqiu County, Yanzhou, and spent his early years in poverty.

the vicissitudes of official life

In the Yonghui reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty (650-655), King Luo Bin belonged to Li Yuanqing, the Taoist king. The Taoist king asked him to state his talent. He was ashamed of showing off himself and refused to obey orders. Later, he was worshipped by Li Lang, and was a master of the Dongtai school. He was relegated to the western regions and guarded the frontier for a long time. After entering Shu, Li Yijun, the general manager of Yaozhou Road, and his aides, most of the words to pacify the barbarian rebellion came from his hands. When he was in Shu, he sang with Lu Zhaolin.

In the third year of Yifeng (678), Luo Binwang was transferred to be the master of martial arts and the master of Chang'an. Then he was transferred from the master of Chang'an to the court to serve as the imperial censor. Wu Zetian was in power. He wrote satirically many times and was jailed. "Chanting cicada in prison" was written to express grief and indignation. The following year, Yu was released.

In the second year of diaolu (680), Luo Binwang became the county magistrate of Linhai County, known as Luo Linhai. It is also recorded in the old book of the Tang Dynasty that King Luo Bin was demoted to linhaicheng as the governor of Chang'an after Empress Wu Zetian's reign. He abandoned his official position and traveled to Guangling. He wrote a poem to show his ambition: "the sword is in the mind of Chu, and the golden spine is in the mind of Han."

Failure in fighting for martial arts

In the first year of Sisheng (684), Wu Zetian abolished Zhongzong. In September of that year, Xu Jingye (i.e. Li Jingye, the grandson of Li Ji) set up an army in Yangzhou to oppose it. Luo Binwang, a member of Xu's family, was appointed as an artistic and literary order, and was in charge of confidential documents. He drafted the "fight for Xu Jingye.". In November of that year, Xu Jingye was defeated and killed, and the outcome of Luo Binwang was unknown.

Main impact

Poetry achievement

As one of the "four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty", Luo Binwang made great contributions to the deconstruction of the literary decadence of the Six Dynasties, the innovation of the poetry style of the early Tang Dynasty, and the opening up of the prosperity of the literature of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he became an influential figure in the history of Chinese literature and has been praised by people for a long time. He wrote a lot in his life and was a brilliant poet.

Among the four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty, Luo Binwang wrote the most poems, especially good at seven character singing. His representative work "imperial capital chapter" was a rare long chapter in the early Tang Dynasty, which was regarded as the best song at that time. There were also "chouxipian", "amorous love answering Lu Zhaolin on behalf of Guo Shi" and "acting as a Taoist princess to Taoist Li Rong", etc., which also had the significance of the times Miscellaneous, the form is very flexible. This kind of poetry style, which is derived from the small Fu of the Six Dynasties, absorbs the structural form of the windlass in the Yuefu of the Six Dynasties and the antithesis and rhythm of the developing modern style poetry. The words are neat and fluent, the syllables are flexible and harmonious, the voice and emotion are rich, the appeal is strong, and it is easy to recite. This is what he Jingming said in Ming Dynasty that "syllables can often be sung" in early Tang Dynasty. Liu Xiyi and Zhang Ruoxu, who came after Luo Binwang, Li Qi, Wang Wei and Gao Shi in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi in the middle Tang Dynasty, Zheng Gu and Wei Zhuang in the late Tang Dynasty, and Wu Weiye in the Qing Dynasty all developed along this line.

Luo Binwang's five rhythms also have many excellent works. For example, "chanting cicada in prison" is a well-known article with deep emotion. Sending Zheng Shaofu to Liao Dynasty expresses the optimistic fighting spirit of making contributions to the country. It has high rhyme and brilliant CI. In addition to the incongruous tone and immature temperament, it is no inferior to Yang Jiong's "march in the army" and "Ziliu Ma". Jueju poems, such as "sending people off at Yishui" and "climbing the city tower in the army", contain only 20 words, which are full of ambition and passion, stirring up the atmosphere of the wind and the clouds, showing the poet's personality and style, and are rare in jueju poems of the early Tang Dynasty.

From Qi Liang literature to Tang literature, Luo Binwang is a transitional figure. Luo Binwang's life is in the conflict between ideal and reality, between talent and unexpected, which results in his honest character and enterprising attitude towards life. His poems are full of passion and strong self-consciousness, which is the fundamental reason for the formation of the spirit and style of his works. From the point of view of literary content, Luo Binwang's chanting poems emphasize the interest, self-expression, and the spiritual style of the chanted things, breaking away from the writing paradigm of Qi and Liang dynasties. His Frontier Poems vividly describe the scene and personal experience of the western regions, express the enterprising feelings of the scholars in the early Tang Dynasty, break through the Southern Dynasty poets' writing style of "setting up the border by topic" and the low and negative style, and have a profound impact on the creation of the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. From the perspective of literary form, Luo Binwang's poetry also has great pioneering significance, either by expressing the sense of rise and fall, or by expressing the chivalrous spirit of fighting against injustice for the weak women, to transform the traditional writing method of imperial capital and erotic theme, showing a broad and upward spiritual style.

Achievements of parallel prose

Luo Binwang's parallel prose has a fresh and elegant atmosphere in his talent and rich CI. No matter lyric, reasoning or narrative, they can write freely and freely, which is obviously different from the style of piling flowers and leaves in the late Six Dynasties, which blindly pursues the beauty of form. "Fighting for Xu Jingye" is representative of such works. Based on the theory of loyalty and righteousness in the feudal era, it calls on people to oppose the Wuzhou Dynasty, which is under construction. It is full of momentum and has emotion in its writing. Among them, the two sentences of "the land of one village is not dry, but the lonely land of six feet" can inspire the old officials of the Tang Dynasty to cherish the memory of the old king.

Luo Binwang's book is sincere, concise and introspective, which is a full inheritance and beneficial transformation of Yu Xin's style.

Historical evaluation

Ouyang Xiu: Wang Bo is as famous as Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin and Luo Binwang for their articles. They are known as "Wang, Yang, Lu and Luo" in the world.

Ji Yougong's chronicle of Tang Poetry: it is known as "Wang Yang luluo" in the world, and Yang Yingchuan's name can be used together with the name of the ancients, such as "Zhang Pingzi's brief talk, Lu Shiheng's record", "Pan Anren should be crude, how can Zhong Changtong know it" and "diangui book". There are several pairs of Wen, such as "one hundred and two in Qin Dynasty, thirty-six in Han Dynasty", and "doctor Suan".

Wei Qingzhi's the poet Yuxie: Luo Binwang is a poem, which is high and far away. If the gods gather outside the sky, and the crane drives in the clouds, they want to see the floating appearance.

Zhang Xunye's preface to Luo Binwang's collected works: Binwang's five character poems are beautiful and exquisite, which can't be easily reached. However, "imperial capital chapter" is also a masterpiece of the generation.

Wang Shizhen's Yiyuan Jiyan: 1. The long seven character song must be written by Lu and Luo. The strange and vulgar are extremely in the eclipse of the moon, and the humble and redundant are extremely in the Jinyang, which are both insufficient ② Lu, Luo, Wang and yang are known as the "four outstanding poets". Their ci poetry is full of charm, and they stick to the legacy of Chen and Sui dynasties. They are graceful in image and surpass the old world. Therefore, five characters are the beginning of the Legalists. His wife an was a little close to Yuefu, and Yang and Lu shangzong lived in Han and Wei dynasties. Although Binwang's long songs were very popular, they also had some flaws. However, the combination of brocade and pearls was magnificent, so it was a unique skill for thousands of years.

Hu Yinglin's shisou: 1. Lu and Luo's five characters are rich in backbone and lack of style. As for Pai Lu, it's self-evident. ② Before Shen and Song Dynasty, there were few rules, but Luo Binwang was the only one. The best of them are "two court return to wangduan", "pengzhuan all line service", "Pengshan zheban Wai" and "Shudi kaitianfu".

Hu Zhenheng's Tang Yingui signature: Yiwu is full of talent and deep organization. It is full of integrity and abundance, so it has the reputation of being good at what, and it will have no wind bone to see!

Song Yuren's poems of the three Tang Dynasties: its source is Yin and he. It can take the spirit from afar. Although it's not pure and elegant, it's excellent in the place of victory. There are few poems in it, especially in the early Tang Dynasty.

Ding Yi's origin of Poetics: the poems of Binwang are not less than those of Qi and Liang, but less ancient than those of Lu Shengzhi. In recent years, such as "North view" and "summer" works, the intention of refining words, actually opened the way of prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Lu Xun's collection of southern and Northern tunes: Luo Binwang's work "the battle of martial arts". I'm afraid it takes a lot of effort to say "I'm jealous when I go to the palace, I'm not willing to let others, I'm slandering when I cover my sleeve, and I'm confused when I'm flattered". But it's said that when I see Wu, I just smile. Yes, that's all. So what? The power of plaintext is often far less than that of whispering, because one is clear and the other is unpredictable. I think that if Luo Binwang stood in front of the public at that time, he just raised his eyebrows and shook his head, and even said "very bad, very bad", but didn't tell the so-called bad examples, I'm afraid that the effect would be above the article.
