Naixian

Naixian

Naixian (1309 -?) He Shuo was a member of the Helu tribe. Helu people moved to the East and scattered all over the country. Naixian family first lived in Nanyang (now Henan). Later, his brother tahai Zhongliang became an official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he moved to Siming (now Ningbo, Zhejiang). They may be related by marriage to the golden family. His elder brother was a Confucian in his hometown. After he became a scholar in the middle school, he served as Xuanwei and was famous for a time. Naixian was indifferent to fame and wealth, retired between the mountains and rivers of Siming, and paid for the poems and essays of celebrities.

Personal experience

In order to expand his knowledge, he left Northern Zhejiang in 1345 and went up to Qilu by canal. Then he went west to the Central Plains. On the second day of December, he went north from Jiacheng (Jiaxian County, Henan Province) and Yangzhai (now Yuxian County, Henan Province) and entered Shanxi Province. From the next year to Dadu, he lived there for about five years. The year before going north, the Yellow River suffered a great disaster in the north and south. The next year, the plague raged, and more than half of the people died. Naixian wrote long poems such as xinxiangjia and Yingshang laoweng song based on his personal experience at that time, which truly reflected the tragic situation of "yellow dust flying in the red land" and "epidemic and poison rising everywhere", and revealed the historical fact that the peasants raised the banner of righteousness and captured the state government, "sitting in the hall like a bear, and the officials invited to welcome the officials to pay homage again". During his journey to the north, he paid close attention to the historical sites of mountains and rivers, the characters in clothes, the broken steles and the changes in the battlefields of song and Jin Dynasties, and carefully studied them in combination with the local chronicles of the tujing and the old reputation. He wrote poems to express his feelings. During his time in Dadu, he made a lot of celebrities and studied the rules and regulations. In the 11th year of Zhizheng (1351), he went down the original road and returned to Wuyue. The ballad of the new dyke, which reflects that 100000 people in the central plains were forced to build a river and then suffered from lingfu, is written on their way home.

Personality

After returning to Zhejiang, he often went boating with friends on Jianhu Lake to entertain himself with poems and wine. Some people would not hesitate to pay bribes to gain access to the powerful and powerful people. Whenever this happened, he would decline politely, saying: "bribes should not be militarized, and Zhou Zhi should accept them." When we talk with friends and guests, we often talk about allusions, never about the affairs of the government. He is also willing to help his friends with their urgent needs, so he has a good reputation. Liu renben, a doctor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, recommended him to preside over the East Lake academy in order to get a salary and relieve poverty. However, he built temples and ancestral halls with all the officials, and invited those who had both learning and practice to teach the local disciples. He also went to the hall to talk about it. On the 7th of the 22nd year of Zhizheng (1362), Zhongshu province promoted Chu Shibu and other four people as the editors of Hanlin Academy of national history. The next year, he went north by sea.

In the 24th year of Zhizheng reign, the Yuan Dynasty, which was in danger of extinction, attempted to seek the protection of the gods and sent envoys to offer sacrifices to Tianyue and Haidu on behalf of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty. Licheng, a town in the south, passed through Fujian Province and then made the sea dirty. During his journey to the south, he did not forget the tradition of observing the customs along the way. Feng Ting Nu, a poem reflecting the malpractice of the officials in the late Yuan Dynasty, may have been written during this period.

Impact and achievements

Naixian was a person from the western regions who was deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. As a son of a noble family, he strictly maintained the Confucian ethics. In the last days, he did not forget to serve the yuan court. While touring the scenic spots and historic sites, he witnessed the social damage and corruption of the official administration, so he visited the situation many times, hoping to use poetry to satirize and remonstrate, rectify the current malpractice, and show his sympathy for the suffering of the common people from time to time. He highly praised Qiu Chuji's role in dissuading Genghis Khan from killing, so he admired Taoism and was infatuated with taking food and waidan. Among the more than 180 poems handed down from generation to generation, about one tenth of them chanted Taoist, which is the only one among the literati in Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Han, a native of Zhejiang Province, and Yu Neng, the prince, were good at ancient prose, and they were also called "the three wonders of Jiangnan". He is erudite and capable of writing, elegant and elegant, five character short stories, fluent and appropriate, seven character long sentences, broad and coherent, close to five or seven character, meticulous and brilliant; he is also good at describing current affairs with long articles, so he is also known as "the history of poetry". His works include Jin Tai Ji and he Shuo's imitation of the ancients. Later generations compiled three volumes of naiqiangang poetry anthology.
