Life of the characters

After he gave up his career, Bao Tai devoted himself to the ancient prose: a few strokes in his career, half a book in bed. He is good at chanting, not enterprising, "is the banishment of immortals can avoid the secular, leisure years and poetry" (after Mr. Chen Nanming water fragrance home sent), that is, the true portrayal of his quiet life. He had a close relationship with ye jiagun and Hua Wenyi, the old Confucians in the city. He also sang with Huang Hanzhang (from Fuzhou), Lin Zixiu (from Fuding), Huang Quan (from Luoyuan) and Xie song (from Min county). Some of them only exchanged poems and books, never seeking one side in their life. Later, Lin Zixiu published the poems of six people into one volume, which was called "Lan she Shi Lue". In the preface, Lin Zixiu talked about each other's style of poetry, and highly praised Bao Tai's poetry, calling it "Yipin in poetry". Rui'an sun qiangming (a Jinshi in the 21th year of Daoguang and a bachelor in the 3rd year of Tongzhi) wrote a preface for Bao Tai's yisuxuan poetry anthology, which said: the poems of Mr. Rui'an are smart, natural, straight, elegant, close to Xiangshan (Bai Juyi), ancient light, straight after Wei and Meng (Wei Yingwu and Meng Haoran). He has a noble mind and a deep disposition. He has never felt cynical and worried about the old and the poor. Mr. Gai is pure and elegant, simple and vigorous in learning. He cultivates Taoism and raises longevity. Besides fame and wealth, he becomes a poem, which blends simplicity and subtlety, and draws out the worldliness. According to sun Yirang of Ruian, "the scale of Taiwanese is broad Poetry is clear in style and elegant in style. Bao Tai was rigorous in his studies and meticulous in his poetry writing. He once compared his poetry writing to heaven's making snow: "the same clouds are white and vague, and the mountain light is light and lustless outdoors. It takes a lot of time for people to write poems and make snow. " Therefore, his poems have a long artistic conception and are ridiculed by every word. Such as his "farewell zhouxiangxi": "autumn wind urges far away, dusk rain pressure lonely canopy. The stream is full of people's voices, and the sound of the stone makes the king contend. Before we say goodbye, the mountain temple has heard the bell. Go to the misty He Ji, return to cloud dark several heavy. My heart with the moon, hanging in the pines "The light rain has just begun, and the window is already in the West. Wave floating on the crescent moon, cloud pressure dusk, low mountain. Curl repair Huang run, Qianqian spring grass Qi. The place where the sound is clear and the flute is across the Huaxi River. " And "the Mid Autumn Festival banquet": "a piece of mid autumn moon, walk alone in the sky. I do not know after opening up, a total of several round? Color through the mirror, cup flying everywhere feast. The North Hall is bright as the day, and the Fu is nine as the chapter. " The end of the pen is lyrical, fresh and meaningful. He wrote his "Yiyan" (fragmentary words, which is the author's modest words) "The sun rises red in the East and yellow in the West. The rising sun is pleasant and the setting sun is sad. It is to know the sorrow and music, and to advocate it from the sky. A song of crying, the scope of yin and Yang. Those who have reached the goal are chaste, while those who have not are obscene It's really profound and philosophical. In his later years, Bao Tai paid attention to the cultivation of Taoism and longevity. He once explored Shao Yaofu's health preserving skills. He was energetic and had a good reputation for seeing and hearing. At the age of 80, he still lectured at Longhu Academy in the county town. In 1845, when he revisited Panshui (Taixue), he died of no illness. He was 94 years old. He has six volumes of yisuxuan poetry and prose collection. There is an epitaph of Mr. Bao Jingting and his companion Zhou Ruren in the collection of fengyuanzhai poems and essays by Hua Wenyi, a friend of Baotai's Poetry (a native of Pumen). This paper makes the following comments on Baotai's life: "there are people in the city who say that Bao Shizhi is talented and learned, and he is peaceful and peaceful.". Another poet Xie Qingyang's yuyuzhai poetry anthology includes "preface to Mr. Bao Shizhi's 80th birthday", "reading Mr. Bao Shizhi's yisuxuan's poetry copy and gift" and other poems. It is enviable that his sons Bao Yonglian (Xiaoshi, Ruqian, Jiaochuang yincao) and Bao Yongjun (Baojun, Xiaozhi, yunchuang yincao) are able to write good poems and inherit their father's career. Bao Zhen, the son of Bao Yongjun, was a famous poet in Pingyang during the period of the Republic of China. Bao Zhouyi, the grandson of Bao Zhen (once worked in Xiamen University, Xiamen Daily), is also a poet (author of "the story of egrets", "Three Trace rhyme grass", "Three River chant grass" and other poetry collections)
