Personal achievement

poems

Following Wang Shizhen's proposition that "literature must be written in Qin and Han Dynasties, poetry must be prosperous in Tang Dynasty", he is one of the "five sons in the late Ming Dynasty". The history of the Ming dynasty recorded that he "wrote thousands of words and stood on the spot" and "wrote poems and essays carelessly and counted the papers with a wave. After tasting the opera, the two men played chess with each other, recited poems, and ordered people to write books. Wang Shizhen commented that his poems were created by heaven, especially his literary works. It is known that Tu Long's works include qizhenguan collection, Youquan collection, Caizhen collection, Nanyou collection and Hongbao collection, but there are not many excellent ones.

Tu Long is proficient in music, and has a troupe in his family. He also revised the romance of the Western chamber, which is quite original. When Shen chongsui compiled the notes to Du Qu, he wrote three kinds of legends, Tanhua Ji, Xiuwen Ji and Caihao Ji, which were named Fengyi Pavilion Yuefu. In Tanhua Ji, it is written that in the Tang Dynasty, MuQing Tai abandoned his official position to seek Tao and practiced hard for 10 years. Xiuwenji wrote that Xiang Ling, the female of Mengyao, learned Taoism and became an immortal, and was granted the title of "xiuwenxian history". Under her persuasion, her family devoted themselves to Taoism and occupied the immortal class. These two legends, as the "Epiphyllum" said, "guangtan three religions, extremely Chen cause and effect, designed to persuade the world.". Among them, it refers to treachery and criticizing sycophant, which is also for elucidating the Buddhist theory and "ruthlessly laying down the seeds of reincarnation". It's called legend, but it's actually faqu, which has no positive significance. Caihaoji is mainly about the great poet Li Bai, accompanied by the story of Tang Xuanzong Yang Guifei. But the main character Li Bai, who despises the power and noble personality and temperament, has been successfully portrayed, which reflects the author's creative psychology of being free and slow.

Performance art

Although Tu Long's legendary opera claims that "the needle and thread are connected and the blood is connected", "there is no need for obscure knowledge and difficult words" ("Epiphyllum routine"). As a matter of fact, it's complicated, rambling, elegant and gorgeous, so some people criticize that "his ci (caihaoji) is painted with gold and blue, seeking a true language, meaningful language, fast language and natural language, but the final volume is not available" (Xu Lin's preface to Changsheng Palace), and "tanhuaji" is "learning to ask to stack" (Qi biaojia's Qupin). This shows that Tu Long's legend inherited the style of Pianli school. However, it is creative in style. Sometimes the whole play has no music, and it is performed in the form of guest dialogue (the rudiment of the play). "Fengyi Pavilion Yuefu" was popular in the world before Tu Long's death, but only one or two of them spread to the future generations.

Anecdotes and allusions

talented and romantic scholar

Since ancient times, Chinese literati have died of persecution, suicide, political struggle, accidents, premature death and death.

Ming Dynasty is an era of talented people, most of them are inevitably more romantic. For example, Li zhuowu often went in and out of his widow's bedroom and openly bathed with prostitutes in broad daylight; Yuan Hongdao believed that there were five joys in life, including eating, drinking, playing and having fun, and also taking prostitutes for pleasure; Qian Muzhai and Liu Rushi, Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun, Mao Bijiang and Dong Xiaowan were all well-known at that time; even the anti Qing hero Chen Zilong was not very rich in his family In this case, he took three women as concubines. Compared with them, Tu Long has a unique advantage in creative talent, literary fame and family superiority, so his romantic degree is quite extraordinary.

Tu Long (1543-1605), also known as Changqing, was born in Yinxian County, Zhejiang Province. He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli, and was an official to the head of the Ministry of rites and a doctor. In the history of Chinese literature, Tu Changqing appeared as a playwright. According to the history of Ming Dynasty, he was "born with extraordinary talent", bold and unconstrained, indulged in poetry and wine, and loved to make friends with famous people all over the world. He insists on the idea of "connecting the needle and thread, connecting the blood". His "poems are made by nature, and his literary friends are magnificent and elegant". His "Tanhua Ji", "Xiuwen Ji" and "Caihao Ji" have all been "popular in the world", which is famous in the capital, and even more famous and influential than Tang Xianzu.

Romantic deeds

First, in the form of creation, he loves to write legendary love stories about men abandoning their official positions to seek truth, and finally achieving good results with his beautiful wife and concubine. Especially after he had an affair with a marquis, he began to further describe some works of erotic love between men and women, which has been controversial for hundreds of years. Second, in his personal life, he not only likes to engage in "homosexuality" ”In addition, they were also "prostitutes who kept their voices" all day long. They often stayed together with prostitutes in the scholar bureaucrat's house, where "men and women were sitting together, and the words of putting out candles were heard everywhere.". From Tang Xianzu's poems that "Changqing once mistook the eastern neighbor of the Song Dynasty" and "how can there be any evil maiden to explain ChunZi and how can there be any cunning child to explain Yongshi", it is easy to imagine his extreme indulgence in sexual life. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it was a time of crime, a period of immorality. From emperors and princes to civil and military officials, from literati to peddlers, from the secret prescriptions of medicine and stone in shops to the pictures of spring palace on stalls, from the group of singers in gaomen deep courtyard to the brothels in prosperous areas, coupled with the vigorous rise of merchant sexual consumption and the self styled romantic trend of literati, an obscene trend of the late Ming Dynasty with the participation of the whole people has penetrated into all walks of life Domain. According to wuzazu, which reflects the social ethos of the late Ming Dynasty, "today's prostitutes are all over the world, and there are thousands of local movements in the metropolis. In other poor states and remote cities, they depend on their families all day long to make a living by prostitution. It's pitiful to live here. Jiaofang in the two capitals, whose tax is collected by the government, is called zhifen money. Those who are subordinate to prefectures and counties are happy households, and they only listen to the orders of envoys. There are also those who do not belong to the government and sell adultery at home. They are called local prostitutes, and they are called private nests

If you are hungry, you will have more delicious food than delicious food; if you are tired, you will have better straw recommendation than heavy food. Water forgets fish, fish forgets water, that is, this is the secret of heaven; space does not hinder floating clouds, floating clouds do not hinder space, where there is no Buddha nature. There are many treasures in the rich room. At night, I still hold on to the fund. The more I accumulate, the more stingy i am. I can see all the treasures in the cellar from time to time. If I get the first money, how can I stay on the table all night? I can't hear the roar in my suitcase. The garden is famous for its fragrant grass, the wind and the sun in spring, the mangrove trees are green and frost, and the scenery of autumn forest is more beautiful. In the first summer, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, which is full of fresh grass, tender flowers, red herbs, and fragrant spring scenery. If you often think of illness, your heart will gradually disappear; if you often prevent the day of death, your mind will live by itself. When you are a romantic and proud person, you always feel sad and desolate. The longer you live in a lonely and Halal hometown, the more meaningful it is. In the world of distress, the spirit must be warm; in the field of lust, the liver and intestines are cold. When the time comes, it's also the husband's business to build up a meritorious career in the sky, to eat jade and wear clothes; when the time goes, it's also the hero's business to keep the promise of poverty in the mountains and forests, and to wear Chenopodium soup and flowers. Therefore, when Zifang was a marquis, he didn't use wealth to be a merchant; when Yanling was fishing, he didn't use poverty to be a cloud platform. When a man is disturbed, his mind is not at ease; when he is quiet, his mind is at ease. Faintness is the root of common people's disease, and stillness is a good medicine. If you are quiet and often sleepy, you will not be disturbed; if you are sleepy and often sleepy, you will not miss your thoughts. If you live in a place, you must be diligent first, but you can have leisure. When you do business, you need to stop, and then you can be free. At ordinary times, it's only leisurely, but it's disturbing when it comes to circumstances. The trace is dirty, which is harmful to the body to get things; it is sloppy or vulgar to bury light. The world's skin is distorted, and the eye of heaven is correct. Li Qinglian was born in ancient times, and Baixiangshan was born in nature. When he was famous, his heart was not pure; when Zhao Zhao talked, his secret deeds were thanks to him. He Yi's rise and fall. Busy today, looking forward to tomorrow; only to the Ming Dynasty, today has become a thing of the past. Calculate Yan Fu's life, who cares for a hundred years, and don't make a long-term plan between birth and breathing. Taiyi peeps at people, you burn the fire of Chenopodium; Yunlin sends letters, and stores the book of Daoxie.
