Xia Yunyi, he is not only a talented man and official in the Ming Dynasty, but also a talented scholar. When he was an official in the court, he held many positions at the same time, which can be said to be very powerful.
His son Xia Wanchun is also amazing, it can be said that he was born in a scholarly family, grew up in this strong academic atmosphere, and was planted with academic seeds from the inside out.
This young man was a literary genius when he was young! In the history books, it should be the history of the Ming Dynasty, after all, everyone is a person of the Ming Dynasty, and it is recorded that he can write poems at the age of seven and sleep alone at the age of eight.
At the age of nine, you can write very famous articles. Although he is young, his literary attainments are not inferior to those of most adults.
His growth process not only has a strong cultural atmosphere, but also grand patriotic feelings, which can be described as rich and colorful.
At the age of nine, he went to a poetry festival where literati and scholars gathered. He stood on a high platform and wrote a poem, without stage fright. The content of the poem is: "Spring is early in the south of the Yangtze River, and the boat is sent off for thousands of miles." Fireworks in March down to Yangzhou. ”
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears, who would have dared to believe that it was from the mouth of a child? Is this genius?
Xia Wanchun, he was a very magical strange person in the last years of the Ming Dynasty! Where's the strangeness? Qi is his dual identity as a poet and a loyal minister, and he was born in a scholarly family, and he was a genius when he was young, it seems that the watershed in his life is not the college entrance examination but the amniotic fluid.
There are also many books in the family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his family opened a library, and the literati and all ran to his house like candidates for the imperial examination.
This little guy keeps running in the study every day, and all the smell of books around him is like soaking in the hot spring of culture? If you put it aside now, it will definitely be an Internet celebrity or a student in the circle of friends, which makes people jealous!
But it's a pity, he was born at the wrong time, just like me, if I was born in ancient times, I would definitely be a tyrant, cough cough, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, then I can only be reduced to a tragic hero.
But then again, that still can't stop him from becoming a literary giant and a model of loyalty. It seems that gold always shines.
The important member of the family who advocated social reform was his father. To put it simply, it is the resumption of society. Restoration Society, that's amazing, it was an elite at the time
Their organization specializes in propagating Confucianism, and they dare to speak out, judging current politics. It is precisely this atmosphere that has cultivated his amazing talent and feelings for his family and country.
But life is like a country road, all twists and turns. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was not a "mediocre person" who only knew how to read.
He was not accustomed to the turmoil of the country, and the people were like floating adrift. He didn't sit idly by, he's not a turtle with a shrunken head.
In that year, that is, in 1644, the Ming Dynasty was over, the Qing army entered the customs, and the Jiangnan side can be said to be in chaos. He let go and put his life on the line
Joined the struggle against the Qing Dynasty and forgot that he was a literati rather than a general!
In the south of the Yanyu River, a capital of water towns, he followed his father to be busy and happy, engaging in the anti-Qing movement, and gathering people with lofty ideals from all over the world.
However, life is like a play, and there will inevitably be episodes. His father was accidentally caught by the Qing people, and he must have been put in prison, and life and death are unpredictable.
For him, he thought that he was going to be sad and sluggish for a while, but who thought that he would turn his grief and anger into motivation and be more energetic, so he changed his position and ran to Nanjing to continue working. It's worthy of Xia Wanchun!
After he came to Nanjing, he became a soldier who killed the enemy in battle, fighting every day, licking blood on the tip of the knife with every step.
There is such a sentence in his heart that has been echoing: "The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring and grass." ”
In the Nanming regime, he was not idle, he held a number of positions, and he was actively involved in military and social activities. He is not generally able to write and martial arts, and once followed Zheng Chenggong and others to fight against the Qing Dynasty army.
The ancients always walked by the river, how could they not get their shoes wet. Soon after, he was very honored to be captured, and the Qing army was also very sorry for their talents, and made a lot of efforts to persuade Xia Wanchun to surrender.
But how can he give in with his temperament, it is better to believe that he will give in than to believe that I am Emperor Zhu, and he will never let go! Faced with the life and death choice of the Qing army
He resolutely chose the latter, "I'd rather die in battle than be a slave to the country" is vividly reflected in him.
Eighteen years old! Only eighteen years old! What were you doing when you were eighteen? This young man, although his life is very short, but it will not be boring at all, he was a poet and loyal minister in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and later became a soldier who went into battle to kill the enemy and resist the Qing Dynasty.
Xia Wanchun's poetic works are the most important literary achievements of his short life. His poetic style has very distinctive characteristics.
If it is given to the Ming Dynasty, you only need to sweep it with a big eye, even if the common people can see that it is his poem of Xia Wanchun, as long as you have seen it in modern times, you will know that this is the poetry of the Ming Dynasty.
It is very distinctive, just like tasting food, outsiders will know what the characteristics are when they taste it, and locals will know who made it when they try it.
He uses poetry as a sword, pointing at the shortcomings of the times, criticizing on the one hand, and hoping and longing for the future on the other. "The Great Sorrow" is the most typical work
This article is written in the most sad and angry language, which is chilling to read, giving people the feeling that every word is dripping blood. He speaks of hatred for his country and his desire to regain his sight. At this moment, he is the most loyal patriotic poet, and he carries the happiness and hatred and ardent expectations of the entire famous people with silent poetry.
In his poems, the emotions are very vivid, and the descriptions are quite delicate, reading as if you are on the scene.
For example, "Autumn Mountain House": "The South Lake in the Trees is White, and the Wild Chrysanthemum in Front of the Steps" is very picturesque, just like being in the south of the Yangtze River. This poem is his love for nature and his profound experience of contemporary society.
His poetic style is sometimes fresh and elegant, sometimes bold and free, he looks like Bai Juyi's younger brother, and feels like Li Bai's apprentice. It is both traditional and innovative. In modern times, it must be a new generation of young people who both disseminate traditional culture and actively innovate, reading his poems is like watching a 3D movie, although centuries apart, it seems to be right in front of you.
Some people are lighter than Hongmao, and others are heavier than Tarzan, and he obviously belongs to the latter. In his short life, he used his poetic talent and talent to create miracles that dominated the world for hundreds of years. He used the way of a literati to express his sincerity to the motherland.
Xia Wanchun is not only a little-known literati, he is also a loyal and patriotic minister. Although his life is very short, he has experienced a lot, experienced the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and also experienced the national turmoil at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not forget his original intention and always firmly adhered to it
Even in the chaotic world, his childlike heart has never wavered. He went through the war, heroically rose up to resist, and then fought against the Qing army. He was a man of letters, but he was much more than a man of letters. He is a well-deserved iron-blooded man.
His short and legendary life course is the most brilliant and dazzling brilliance in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, inheriting the will of his ancestors and setting an example for future generations.
He used the sword in his pen to write a wonderful chapter that attracted worldwide attention. He doesn't just stay on the manuscript paper, he doesn't just live in the study, he uses his life to explain what a real iron-blooded man is.
What is true innocence? Young people should not be like him, turning the tide and leaning forward the building. There is no fear in the face of wind and rain, and we move forward bravely in the face of suffering.
In that era of social upheaval, he proved by his own actions that poetry can stimulate the mind, improve observation, cultivate a sense of group, and learn the method of satire.
He is the mainstay of the long river of history, and some people may only have a few pens in the history books, and it is difficult for him to write his legendary and wonderful life in a book of more than 500 pages.
After understanding Xia Wanchun's story, you will find that literature is not only a form of expression of emotion, but also a symbol of strength and a manifestation of the national spirit. As a result, these perceptions will become more and more concrete and concrete.
