Among the poets of the Tang Dynasty, there were not many truly eminent poets, and Gao Washi was one of the more prominent. The Old Book of Tang says: "Since the Tang Dynasty, the master of the poet is only suitable." At the age of 61, he was appointed marquis of Bohai County, and was the only poet in the history of the Tang Dynasty who was awarded the title of Marquis because of his military merits. So, when did Gao Shi start to move towards manifestation? Tell you, it was after he wrote the famous "Don't Dong Da".
"Don't Dong Da", Gao Shi wrote a total of two poems, but this one is the most widely recited, why? I think of course it is because of this sentence: "Don't worry about the road ahead and don't know yourself, no one in the world knows the king." In the spring of the sixth year of Tianbao (747 AD), the official Shangshu Fangzhen was demoted from the dynasty, and the doorman Dong Tinglan was forced to leave Chang'an. As a violinist, Dong Tinglan can play the guqin into a divine way, but at that time, Hu Le was popular, and not many people could appreciate ancient music, so Dong Tinglan had always been high and widowed, especially this time he left Chang'an with a gray face, and the depression of his mood was even more imaginable. In the winter of that year, Dong Tinglan came to Songzhou, Henan, where he met his old friend Gao Shi. Gao Shi seemed to turn a blind eye to this old man's long and short sighs, and after a few drinks together, he wrote two poems to Dong Tinglan, who was the eldest in the ranking, especially a sentence of "Mo worries about the road ahead is ignorant of himself, who in the world does not know the king", just like suddenly breaking a wine bowl, making Dong Tinglan half awake: Yes, there is such an inspirational sentence to carry the bag, and then continue to move forward can be straight waist!
In fact, why wasn't this poem written by Gao Shi to himself? At this time, Gao Shi was 47 years old, but his career was basically not bright, it was still a wandering state, until Dong Tinglan saw him, his state was still hungry and full, living a poor life, but despite this, Gao Shi did not sigh, he continued to bury his head in hard reading, while traveling, waiting for the opportunity.
In The Eighth Dynasty of Tianbao (749), Gao Shi's lonely life finally ushered in a rare turnaround, and in August of that year, Zhang Jiuling, the younger brother of Zhang Jiuling, who was then the assassin of Juyang (that is, the renamed Song Prefecture), heard that Gao Shiqicai was "deeply curious", so he recommended him to participate in the imperial court's Taoist examination, and the result was the first in one fell swoop. After many years of hard reading gao shiyi dynasty gold list title, the joy in his heart is of course indescribable, "brown clothes can not be seen, yellow silk turned over", in the year of the dying destiny to be yellow silk, Gao Shi's life is about to enter the upward passage, he was appointed as a lieutenant of fengqiu, such a county lieutenant position, of course, is not the ideal in Gao Shi's heart, but he still went to the post, after all, this is the first step in his own entry, after all, he does not have to endure the grind of food and clothing. However, in the second year of Ren Fengqiu's tenure, on the way back to the soldiers who were ordered to send a new recruit to Jibei, Gao Shi still made up his mind to resign, and the reason why he was determined to hang up his seal and leave was because he was not happy when He was in office, and when this unhappiness was presented in the form of poetry by Gao Shi, who was uninhibited by nature, we saw the same helpless state of mind as Tao Qian's resignation at that time.
"I am a fisherman and a yo-yo all my life. Some people may say that Gao Shi does not cherish this hard-won official position, after all, he is nearly half a hundred years old, and he should be satisfied to be able to find a position that can be solved. However, this is the Chinese literati, the real literati, who will not be satisfied, they would rather sing wildly among the grass than be officials under the wind and dust, rather than bend their waists for the sake of fighting rice! Gao Shi, who resigned with a hanging seal, resolutely threw a shadow on Fengqiu's back, while his footsteps went towards Chang'an, where his literary friends were enthusiastically looking forward to his arrival, Cui Hao, Du Fu, Chu Guangxi, Qi Wuqian, and Cen Shan, all of whom were greeting the big brother of the poetry world with the purest literati heart, and Gao Shi, who had resigned from the official, obviously found a rare period of idle time in his life in the process of traveling and drinking with the literary friends.
Gao Shi's fate was counterattacked in the eleventh year of Tianbao (752). In the same year, the famous Tang general Ge Shuhan, who was then the envoy of the Long Right Jiedushi, took a fancy to him and invited him to join his shogunate. Being able to join the army and serve the country, let Gao Shi be particularly excited, as early as when he went to Jimen To swim in the year, Gao Shi was looking for an opportunity to join the army, he did not expect that this dream would come late in his fifty-two-year-old age, "the boy's meritorious service, but also when he was the boss", for his old friend at this age can still join the army in the northwest, Du Fu gave enthusiastic encouragement, and Gao Shi, who left Chang'an and marched west, was full of gratitude for the geshuhan he was about to see, and he was full of pride in making meritorious achievements, "Shallow only to board a life, a lonely sword through the world." Don't you miss your hometown? Never Perceive Himself" ("Denglong"), holding down the sword around his waist, the silver-bearded Gao Shi did not feel his own aging, on the contrary, he felt that his own path had just begun.
Gao Shi met Ge Shuhan in Xiping County, Yanzhou, where he was stationed in longyou Jiedu, and when he saw this famous Tang court general with outstanding military achievements, Gao Shi dunsheng admired him, and Gao Shuhan was also "different from what he saw" gao Shi, so he "appeared as Zuo Xiao Bing Cao, the secretary of Chong Han Province", if he said that when he was young, he went out of the plug for the first time to go to Jimen, for Gao Shi, it was a kind of wave without a goal, and the second time he went out to Jimen was to complete a distraught messenger, then when Gao Shi went out of the blockade for the third time in the twilight of his life and came to the northwest frontier, he was already full of pride Although the secretary of the Han Dynasty was not a decent official position, compared to the Fengqiu Lieutenant who was trapped in the public gate and was busy with trivial matters, this position could not only make Gao Shi feel the majestic scenery of Shuo Desert, but also truly hear the sound of horseshoes at the border pass.
It is precisely under the impetus of such a pride that The creation of Gao Shi's biansai poems began to show a blowout trend. In the roar of the horse's bow, "The iron horse runs rampant at the head of the iron ridge, and the west looks at the luokui to take the title." Qinghai will only drink horses now, and the Yellow River will not be more defensive of autumn" ("Nine Songs"), which is Gao Shi's praise for Ge Shuhan, who is full of pen and ink, and praises Ge Shuhan of the Prancing Horse's horizontal knife; "Wanli will not hesitate to die, and succeed in the future." Paint the Qilin Pavilion and enter the Mingguang Palace of the Dynasty" ("Sai Xia Qu"), which is Gao Shi's desire to "paint the Qilin Pavilion" while singing praises to bian gong; "Huangyun White Grass has no front and back, and the Dynasty is built in the evening." Stuffed under the ying multi-chivalrous teenager, Kansai did not see the spring willow. Who do you borrow from the military? Fencing sings at this time. Far from being able to go around the chao strategy, PingRong sent Zhongxuan poems early" ("Sending General Hun Out of the Plug"), which is Gao Shi's send-off for General Hun with an imposing pen, and the Qing dynasty Zhao Xi criticized this poem: "General Hun got this poem, and the history was passed on"... In the wind and snow and frost of the border pass, fighting swords and singing, Gao Shi, who was born in Huafa, wrote wars and established biographies for unknown soldiers at the same time, he also let his age be born against the trend, he was a poet who walked the dragon and snake, and he was also a soldier on the Prancing Horse Battlefield, the two identities were superimposed, and Gao Shi suddenly found that this was what he should look like.
And Gao Shi's real counterattack on life was because of the subsequent "Anshi Chaos". In the fourteenth year of Tianbao (755), the Anshi Rebellion broke out, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered Brother Shuhan to fight against the rebels, and Brother Shuhan originally intended to defend Tongguan, but the traitor Yang Guozhong forced him to go out to meet the enemy, and as a result, he was defeated and captured, and defected to the enemy. After the fall of Tongguan, Tang Xuanzong was forced to flee to Sichuan, and Gao Shi, who was in the rebel army, was not lured by the rebels' fame and fortune, and he risked his life to copy the path and catch up with Tang Xuanzong. At this time, the ministers were one-sided insults to Ge Shuhan, but Gao Shi stood up and bravely spoke justice for Ge Shuhan, not only that, in the face of this emperor who was forced to flee, he was not humble, and he analyzed the reasons for the loss of Tongguan with a reasonable basis, Tang Xuanzong agreed with him very much, promoted him to the position of Shi Yushi, and soon appointed him as a counselor, and the appointed text said: "Shi Yushi is highly suitable, the festival is really strong, the plant is tall, grateful for the economic strategy, and the talent of the elegant and elegant." Long-term strategy and long-distance map, but the clouds are generally large; the rumors are righteous, and they are really loyal subjects. "
Gao Shi, who was commissioned to the autumn of peril, did not become complacent because of the smooth pace of his career, but on the contrary, he walked on thin ice and fulfilled his duties in the position of the counselor, "being bold and daring to speak out, and being fortunate to be ashamed of it." Especially when Fang Zhen suggested to Emperor Xuanzong that the world be divided among the princes Li Heng, Li Xun the Prince of Yong, Li Qi the Prince of Sheng, and Li Jue the Prince of Feng, Gao Shi even foresaw the crisis that might lead, "Sheng's words were not allowed", but Xuanzong did not adopt it. Soon, Gao Shi's fears became a reality, and in December of deyuan zai (756), when Li Xuan, the King of Yong, went east from Jiangling to take Jinling directly, emperor Suzong remembered the indivisible advice proposed by Gao Shi at that time, and immediately "summoned and plotted, because of Chen Jiangdong's interests, the Yong King would be defeated", Suzong was overjoyed, so he appointed him as an envoy of Huainan Jiedushi, and together with Lai Yao and Wei Zhi, led an army against the Yong King. This is something that Gao Shi would never have thought of, just a few years ago, he was still just serving as a staff member of the Geshuhan shogunate who was not in the imperial court, and after the smoke of the Anshi Rebellion and the vicissitudes of changing the dynasty and changing masters, Gao Shi, who had gone to the border plug three times, and Gao Shi, who had established his status as the standard bearer of the border poem with the poetry of the intestines, had already been put on the battlefield as an official from the Sanpin Imperial Court, and in the twilight of his life at the age of fifty, he blew the clarion call for the expedition and opened a magnificent military career!
Gao Shi's crusade went well, and before he crossed the Huai River, he implemented a series of countermeasures, and when his troops crossed the Huai Shui, the rebellious Yong King had already committed suicide. After this counter-rebellion, Gao Shi was again ordered to participate in the rebellion of The An Shi, rescue the Siege of Suiyang, and write a poet's legend as a general; when he was transferred to the first year of Emperor Guangde of the Tang Dynasty (763), he was transferred to the jiannan Jiedushi envoy, and once again resisted the invasion of Tubo at the age of sixty, people saw that this literati who had used poetry to show his name in Jimen and in Longxi had become a military commander who had fought against the enemy in qianli, although this battle with Tubo was "the division was fruitless, and the Song, Wei and other prefectures were trapped by the Soldiers." And he himself was also replaced by Yan Wu, but the Appointment of this courtier by the Tang Court was not weakened, and after returning to Chang'an, he was "used as a servant of the Punishment Department, transferred to the Chang Shi, added silver Qing Guanglu Doctor, entered the Marquis of Bohai County, and ate seven hundred households", and in the first month of the second year after returning to Chang'an, Gao Shi died of illness, and the imperial court "gave the Gift Department Shangshu, Yu Yue Zhong", which can be described as extremely mournful.
In fact, in this "Dafu", those frustrated literati should see a counterattack trajectory of life while envying his late arrival of eminence, and the inflection point of this trajectory has already begun when Gao Shi chanted the popular sentence "Mo worries about the road ahead ignorant of himself, who in the world does not know the king"...
