He Bai's eleven poems are included in Qian Qianyi's collection of poems of the liechao Dynasty, which is also a little legend: "long Jun Yu was the magistrate of the county, who was different from his talent. In order to add the crown, he collected all the famous scholars to write poems and pay tribute to them, so he became famous in the world.". In the 17th year, long Ying transferred to Guozi. Soon, he Bai went to Nanjing. When Xiang Jiyu (Jingzu) lived in Nanjing, he often lived in his family and had contacts with Wang Shizhen (Yuanmei), Wu Mingqing (Guolun) and Chen Jiru (Zhongchun) in the poetry world at that time. According to Yongjia county annals, Wu Mingqing collected all kinds of Ci poems and poems. Bai Fen Yun got eight Qi, Fen Ti got seven character rhythms, improvised hundreds of rhymes and four eyes. It's a double name. And Wang Yuanmei and Chen Zhongchun are the same. In the preface to Ji Gu Tang Ji, Li Weizhen is also known as "no generation in Wu Yue cloth". Half of the people are convinced.

The 24th year of Wanli (1596)

He Bai was invited by Feng Yuancheng county magistrate to visit yuncheng county office in Hubei Province. In the summer of the same year, at the invitation of Li Dongnan and Shen Huashi, he visited Zhushan, Zhuxi and Fangxian for nearly a month. In the winter of the 27th year of Wanli, he Bai moved from the foot of Jigu mountain to zhupudong village in the southern suburb to build Shanyu Pavilion. He described the environment of Shanyu Pavilion and his mood in the book with Chen Mei, saying: "move your home to Dongzhu, walk the confluence of three streams, and carry the country ten miles away. In front of it, there is a platform of Zijin, where Sheng and he are now popular, and in the back of it, there is a island of Zizhen, where red stoves still exist. The elegant style of the ancestors of each enterprise is quite in harmony with the interest of growing forest and grass. But he still can't put the trouble of poverty on his way to life. In 1604, he Bai, 43, went to live in Yulin of Northern Shaanxi for more than a year at the invitation of Zheng kunyan. After coming back, they will not go out. Shanyu pavilion has become a place for him to seek leisure, and a place for his friends to recite poems and essays. It is not far from the villas of Wang zanfu and Xiang Jiyu. Wang and Xiang often brought their grandchildren to Shanyu Pavilion for a gathering, drinking and reciting poems. Zheng Rubi's poem "no blame for the people who visit he mountain, leaving a present in the mountain rain Pavilion" says: "when the heaven and earth fall, the cloth clothes are as high-profile as you are rare. With the White Deer in the open sea, people know Chang Geng into Shaowei, grass pavilion with cold lonely couch, ink pool to see warm five flowers fly, not Huayang partner, Yuan Zhu Pianpian do day wave Shanyu Pavilion played an important role in the later half of he Bai's life, and his first poetry collection was called Shanyu Pavilion collection.

Death of illness

In 1642, he Bai died of illness at home and was buried in Jinyan, Quxi. In the late Ming Dynasty, he Danxia's tomb in Jinyan, Wuxi, said: "you can't be a gentleman, who is elegant and who is in charge of it. Numerous dew with the cornerstone, thin mist cover solitary grave. To the time phase and move, cutting has disappeared, left from the ancient, hanging on the plateau. In the face of the wind, I look at it with regret, and the fire is burning in the wild.

Poetic attainments

He Bai's poetry has no teacher. In the preface to Ji Gu Tang Ji, Li Wei Zhen said that he Bai was "the master of poetry Li Du and the master of literature Han Liu". Zhu YIZUN said that his poems originated from Qizi, which is similar to Yu Anqi's style. But Wen Bai has his own opinion. He thinks that Qizi's Poems "follow the Han and Wei dynasties in every detail, and copy the early Tang Dynasty in every word", lack of vivid charm; although Gong'an School "expresses its spirit alone and does not stick to the style", it is too complicated to draw materials; Jingling School lacks broad and vast spirit for its steep and astringent poetic style. He Bai has his own unique style of poetry.

Personal evaluation

In his life, he Bai Buyi went through the Six Dynasties of Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi and Chongzhen. In the first half of his life, he traveled abroad, in Yulin in the north, in Wudang in the west, and in seclusion in the second half. Some of his poems reflect the current social situation and state injustice, such as Xi Weng Xing, Cun Weng Xing, Wai Quan Pian, Da Shui Tan, etc., or describe the heavy burden of farmers, or expose the violence of eunuchs. The poem "Ai Jiang tou" describes that when Wu Baoxiu was the eunuch of Nankang in Pingyang, he was falsely accused by the tax collection eunuch and his family was ruined. It contains the indignation, which is very painful. He Bai's poems are more about the beauty of his hometown's rivers and mountains. Yandang, Xianyan, Daruoyan, yuzengfeng and Jiangxin Temple all have his chants. The lengthy and lengthy works are full of ups and downs. When he visited Tiantai, the rhododendrons were in full bloom. He wrote a poem entitled "from Huaxiang to shiliannong Road, 25 miles away, there are five color rhododendrons, covering the sky and the sun, red and purple in his clothes, all of which are like the Dragon brocade of mackerel gauze. It's a wonder of real life, shouting and singing." it describes shiliannong, yixiantian, qianya spring, Qingxi, TIANTI, Shanhua, Gaolin and other scenery Its meaning. Short stories are natural and fresh. Such as "sleepless": "not separated from the dream of a foreign country, no time to go home at night, recently worry not sleep, turn to feel home rare.". "The West Chamber of the lotus man" and "the bamboo house is surrounded by a hundred fold secluded streams, and the sound of the water is cool at night. Xiaokai South * still pillow, forest Qianfeng half in bed. "Yandang Mountain water curtain Valley" says: "Xiajian snow Dou white Ming Ting, for cherishing the secluded, strange strategies repeatedly stop. Water and stone are getting poorer and the road to the clouds is ending. In the end, the sky is blue. The body and object have a profound meaning. Wang xizan's Ji Gu Tang Ji Xu quoted Zhu Xuan as saying: "Ji Gu Tang poetry has the idea of looking at a generation. Especially I Ou remote coastal, and Shanren do not seek xiongda. At that time, Yu Lin and Yuan meiqiang were on Taiwan independence, and the main Zhai League was galloping away from the mountain people, just like Su Chang, who regarded the valley as a place where he was afraid of friends.

personal works

He Bai's prose is also very good, and "ten sceneries of Yanshan" can be compared with "ten sceneries of Yanshan" by Li Xiaoguang. He is good at calligraphy and painting. The words are natural and graceful. "Mountains and rivers have the style of a square pot, and there is a way to use the pen to disperse. Bamboo and stone are also the most smoky.".
