Yuan Shu, who sits in the name of "scumbag", has given a good "base friend" with a piece of sincerity?

Among the poets of the Tang Dynasty, there was Li Du in the front and Yuan Bai in the back.

Yuan Shu and Bai Juyi are equally famous, and the influence of the literary world can be seen.

He once mourned the poem of his deceased wife Wei Cong: "Once the sea was shipwrecked as water, except for wushan is not a cloud." And touched countless ancient and modern people, but later because he was turned over the old account, he was named "scumbag".

01 Marriage history, non-stop

In 803, Yuan Shu, who failed the imperial examination, was appreciated by the crown prince's teacher Wei Xiaqing because of his talent, and not only became an official, but also married Wei Cong, The daughter of Wei Xiaqing.

After marriage, Wei Cong gave birth to 5 children for Yuan Shu, and then fell ill and died at the age of 27.

Before Wei Cong's death, Yuan Shu sent an envoy to Chuandong and became acquainted with Xue Tao, a talented daughter of Shuzhong.

Although Xue Tao was more than 10 years older than him, the two had a good relationship, and after living together for 3 months, they left because wei Cong was seriously ill, which was also a satire of the mourning poem.

After that, although Yuan Shu and Xue Tao sang and sang endlessly. Yuan Shu also said in "Sending Xue Tao" that "after farewell to the acacia, the smoke and water, the calamus flower is five clouds high", expressing his longing for Xue Tao, but the two did not meet again.

The year after Wei Cong's death, Yuan Shu was demoted to Jiangling.

His friend Li Jingjian, seeing that there was no one around him to take care of him, was very pitiful, so he gave his cousin Concubine An Xian to him as a concubine.

Three years later, Concubine An Xian died, leaving a child for Yuan Shu.

In 815, after remarrying Pei Shu as his wife, Yuan Shu ushered in a rocket-like rise in the official arena. In 821 AD, he paid homage to him and embarked on the peak of his life.

02 Scumbag, not empty talk

And Yuan Shu, who is a talent in the poetry world and a high-ranking official in the court, was accused of being a "scumbag" not because he had married several wives successively, nor because he was in love with Xue Tao's sister and brother who was secretly poking and poking.

After all, in the ancient society where men were superior to women, three wives and four concubines were normal, and it was not too much to remarry after the death of a wife, and the Atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was civilized, and it was not uncommon for literati to sing and sing harmony with women with literary talents.

The point is that he once failed a poor woman in terms of feelings, and was a 100 percent negative person.

Yuan Shu once wrote a novel "The Legend of the Warbler".

The gist is that zhang sheng, a scholar, happened to meet a rich woman Cui Yingying at the Universal Salvation Temple on the way to the examination, and was amazed by the heavens, and after pursuing the warbler with poetry, the two had skin kisses.

A month later, Zhang Sheng went to the capital to take the exam, and after winning the list, he married the daughter of a high-ranking official in the DPRK, and said that he could not be fooled by special things, so he did not associate with the warblers.

Later, Zhang Sheng looked for Yingying again, and Yingying played half a song for him as a trick, saying that Zhang Sheng "began to chaos, eventually abandoned it, fixed its appropriateness, foolishness does not dare to hate", and then left.

Zhang Sheng in the text is Yuan Shu, and after participating in the imperial examination, he married Wei Cong.

The prototype of Cui Yingying is Cui Shuangwen, Yuan Shu's cousin, and some scholars have verified that there is another person, but after all, it is a poor woman who has been disappointed by Yuan Shu.

Lu Xun also said that "the last article is too embellished, and the bad taste is degraded" and "his text is better than his people", criticizing Yuan Shu's hypocrisy and negativity.

As a poet, for his own lust, first write poetry to seduce women, and because of fame and fortune, he began to give up, and in turn, he was full of words, accusing women of being a disaster, so he had to avoid it, to whitewash his behavior of chaos and abandonment, and Yuan Shu's "scumbag" hat was really buckled.

Poets are all born romantic, although they continue to marry wives and have children, and live a life that everyone lives, but Yuan Shu does not intend to have a wife and children for a lifetime.

In addition to writing poems for Wei Cong, who died early, other wives did not have this treatment, and where did his delicate and energetic feelings go?

In fact, the ancient people are not as old as we think, and they know more about romance than we do when it comes to conveying love.

For example, between lovers, they will use "throw them with papaya, repay them with Qiong Yao" to express their emotional pulse; when relatives and friends send farewells, they will fold willow leaves, fish and rulers, and often use poems to sing harmony with each other.

03 Base friend, good looking companion

Yuan Shu and Bai Juyi were a pair of good "ji friends" among the poets of the Tang Dynasty, both of whom were talented, brilliant in literature, and sang poetry and for more than 30 years.

In 803, the 24-year-old Yuan Shu and the 32-year-old Bai Juyi were assigned to work together as school scribes, responsible for revising the texts.

After becoming colleagues, the two began a lifelong affair.

In the beginning, the two worked together, often playing together, drinking and writing poetry, lingering under the moon before the flowers.

Wrote "flowers under the kurama tour, a glass of wine in the snow", "the moon night and flowers, less than a cup of wine music", "spring wind day high sleep, autumn moon night deep look" and so on, this sentence of poetry, like not like the love of men and women before the flower before the moon?

Look at the inscription poem of Yuan Shu again: "The night is long and the spring hates a lot, and the wind is dark and fragrant." It is Xiyuan Sijun, and Sijun is as thin as a cut. And Bai Juyi responded: "Last night the clouds scattered, thousands of miles and the same moon." Xiao Lai dreamed of jun, it should be Jun Xiangyi. In the dream, he shook the king's hand and asked the king what he meant. "Singing and interspersing, are all lingering pity for the longing, and I don't see the King for a day, like three autumns apart."

Later, the two were both degraded, far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, but they remembered each other more and missed each other from time to time. In 817, both Yuan and Bai were degraded. Bai Juyi went to serve as Sima of Jiangzhou, and Yuan Shu, who had been demoted to Tongzhou at that time, was already dying of illness, and when he heard the news that Bai Juyi had been degraded, he sat up in shock and wrote, "The residual lamp is flameless and the shadow is building, and this night I heard the King who jiujiang." In the dying sickness, he sat up in shock, and the dark wind and rain blew into the cold window. ”

On the way to Sima in Jiangzhou, Bai Juyi also wrote, "Read the Junshi scroll in front of the lamp, and the poem is still unclear." Eye pain extinguished lights still sit in the dark, against the wind and waves hitting the sound of the boat", also said that on the way to Ren, they all spent watching Yuan Shu's poems, the eyes hurt, and the brain still thought, the two are really in love.

After that, the two were separated from each other and remembered each other, fortunately, they were demoted to officials, and through the public free postal system, the two frequently delivered letters and complained to each other. Despite this, thousands of miles apart from each other, communication is still inconvenient, waiting for the day of the letter, the two can only meet in dreams, send love in poetry.

Bai Juyi wrote a poem to Yuan Shu:

In the morning, the wind is sad, and the water in the river is broken. I don't know why I remembered, but last night three more dreamed of Jun.

I thought of you in the early morning and felt sad and sad. Hateful is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and I can only see each other in my dreams.

When Yuan Shu received the letter, he actually committed lovesickness, and he could not afford to be sick, and he barely supported the sick body and a poem:

The shanshui ten thousand heavy books are broken, and the king pities me in my dreams. Now that my soul is upside down because of illness, I dream of idle people and do not dream of the King.

I am sick now, I am overwhelmed, I don't know why I always dream of idle people, but I can't dream of you who really misses you.

"Last night three more dreams of jun" is written more like a daughter's heart, missing her lover, only waiting to see her in her dreams. And the sentence "Only dream idle people do not dream of jun", it writes out the depth of Yuan Shu's love for Bai Juyi, a hundred times a thousand scenes, just want you to dream, comparable to "once the sea was shipwrecked for water".

04 Friendship, full of romance

Although there is a sight at first sight in the Bo Yazi period, xie Zhiyin, but Yuan Shu's sentence "Willing to meet the clouds and rain, meet the sky", is really imaginable.

In 830, Yuan Shu was again expelled to Wuchang as an official, and died of a sudden illness the following summer at the age of 53.

A distraught Bai Juyi wrote down the altar text:

Woohoo! Beginning with poetry, ending with poetry, strings and pens, what is it today? Woohoo! Between the three realms, who is not alive and dead, and within the four seas, who has no friends? ...... Although the public does not return, I should continue to go, an has the form to go and the shadow is there, the skin is dead and the hair is alive?

Micro, micro, we two because of poetry to communicate, and then with poetry tips. Since then, the strings have been broken and no one has heard, and the pen and ink have nowhere to fall. Everyone has friends, and everyone dies. You're gone, leaving me alone, how can I live? I'll be looking for you soon.

After that, Bai Juyi wrote a mourning poem of "Jun buried the mud under the spring and sold bones, I sent the world full of snow", the words wept blood, which can be said to have played the plot to the climax, which attracted various speculations and opinions on their relationship between the melon-eating masses in later generations.

Even the Southern Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli couldn't read it anymore, and issued a message: "Read all the Yuan poems and white poems, and spend your life less than Fu Weiwei." Repeatedly do not know what the canal means, half is friendship and half is private" sigh, it seems that the ancients are also eating this melon between yuanbai!
