sick white moonlight

Xiao Lingyin, named Ziyu and named Wenxuan, was called Wenxuan Layman at that time.He was a well-known politician, calligrapher, painter, writer, thinker and educator in the Jin Dynasty.He has been prime minister for more than [-] years. During his reign, he has been dedicated to his duties, and the government has been well-organized and the people are in harmony.There was once a friend whose name was inscribed on the chapter, but people at that time did not know who he was and where he was born, but they heard his name and knew his talents and learning.

His poems, prose and paintings, it seems that such a person has always appeared. In fact, if we say that the number of appearances is not many, compared with his close friends, this person is only mentioned occasionally, but it is surprising. Looking at the diaries of contemporary people in the same period of the Jin people, the leftover writings, calligraphy and paintings, and historical materials, he was actually a talented man who had never had an inscription, not to mention that he had been by Xiao Ziyu's side, met Xiao Ziyu, and became a friend.

This has to attract the attention of a small group of particularly sensitive and careful people.

So who this person is, there is no conclusion yet.But for scholars who study Xiao Ziyu's life, this person is a person who can never get around.Nowadays, there is a vague conclusion in the academic circles that this herringbone name should be a pseudonym, which is why it exists. Except for the bits and pieces left by Xiao Ziyu, there is no trace of him in the history books.

In fact, the reason why the academic world pays so much attention to this pseudonym who seems to have left no trace is just a poem.

A poem that even most people don't know.

And this poem should be written by Xiao Ziyu in his later years.

If we say that this poem is good or bad, judging from its popularity, it seems that it is indeed not very good, and most people have never even heard of it.After all, there are too many famous poets, like Xiao Ziyu, who can have one or two works handed down from generation to generation, is the envy of all people.

Besides, there are not a few of his poems that have been recited to this day.

And this poem is naturally also in his anthology. Although many anthologies have been scattered, the original appearance has been barely preserved in the collection and arrangement of later generations.

This poem doesn't even have a name, so the world calls it an anonymous poem.

The poems are actually not bad, but they are too obscure, making it difficult to figure out the reason why the person wrote this poem and what he wanted to express.

This is a rare poem about wandering immortals, completely different from Xiao Ziyu's previous poems.

When most people read Xiao Ziyu's poems, they will feel a kind of heaviness, confinement, and bondage.Most of his poems are always strict in rhythm and exquisite in allusion. Although every word is common, it is just right.When he writes poems, he always writes heavily, as if he wants to tear up the world, thoroughly, and completely, to reveal the truth that is wrapped in the book.He seldom eulogizes the beauty, writes about festive joy, and writes about love and sex.

This is his poem, which is timid to read, and is completely different from his words.

Contrary to poetry, he uses words to write about everything in the world and the reincarnation of everything, which is extremely flexible and chic, and he is not restricted by rhythm.

If you talk about this word, most of you know that it was originally a small way, and it was sung by a singer. The words of the market are quite vulgar, but because the poem is close to its peak, the literati gradually pay attention to this small way. come.

The development of words over the years is a process from vulgar to elegant.The lyrics and music are originally a family, and the words can be sung. Most of the scholars of Ci are also familiar with the rhythm, so that the words are harmonious with the rhythm.This is what everyone in Ci studies admires when it develops to a high level.In Xiao Ziyu's era, Ci has just entered the field of vision of literati.Although some literati wrote Ci, they did so in private, and it was difficult to learn Ci at that time.

And Xiao Ziyu loves to write lyrics, it can be said that he has played a big role in promoting the lyrics.After all, he has been the chief assistant for more than 30 years, and he is at the height of the temple, and has attracted the attention of scholars all over the world.

He loves to write words, and from today's perspective, his words are obviously more popular than poetry.

In fact, in his era, the words he wrote still had a lot of deficiencies in the eyes of later ci scholars, such as dissonance, unrefined words, and insufficient aesthetic feeling.But after all, it is the early stage of Ci learning, which is understandable.

As the saying goes, the predecessors open the way, and the descendants enjoy the cool.As the developer and advocate of Ci, in the eyes of later generations, he has made great contributions to the development of Ci.

The so-called great changes in the world, in those days, Xiao Ziyu was always praised for his poems, his writing is quite ancient, vigorous and clear.Among his contemporaries in the Jin Dynasty, his poems were highly regarded in the period when poems were still admired, but with the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life, his poems are not too eye-catching among ancient and modern poets.

Compared with his achievements, poetry is not avant-garde in terms of the influence of Jin Dynasty history.

Historians prefer to study him as a person, his life, his political actions, his life achievements.

As for poetry, it is an embellishment to understand and study this person.

After all, although his poems are influential and valuable, he is still not a great poet.

Look at this unnamed poem again, it is a poem about traveling immortals.

Poems about wandering immortals is a kind of subject matter, usually about what happens when you meet an immortal.The same is true of Xiao Ziyu's poem about wandering immortals. In the poem, he uses obscure allusions, but writes a very simple story.

It can barely be described as a certain month in a certain year, he walked into a paradise in his dream.There are clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.With a breeze blowing gently, the apricot blossoms in the garden were everywhere. He walked into the garden to watch the apricot blossoms, and met a fairy.The immortal is wearing a yellow shirt, with a green flute hanging from his waist, riding a white deer, like the most erratic cloud in the sky, which cannot be touched or touched.

He was in the distance, looking at the yellow-clothed fairy with low eyebrows and a slight smile. Just as he was about to go forward, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept him away, and he was unconscious. When he recovered, the fairy was gone. There is no trace, the dream has long since dissipated, and when he opened his eyes, there was only a full moon in the sky, the shadows and slanting leaves outside the window, and the silence. In the end, I can only feel dejected.

This poem is not short. The poet repeatedly describes the fantasies, the clothes and furnishings of the yellow-clothed fairy, the poet's own surprise and loneliness, and the excitement in his heart when he meets the fairy, and finally wakes up from the dream and feels sad.

Of course, this poem is written in a particularly cryptic way, with dazzling and meandering words, and a deep and quiet scene, which is as real as it is unreal, complicated and confusing, and faintly has the style of a certain ci scholar in the later period.In the early stage, it can be said that this poem was not taken seriously, because this poem lacked a small preface in front of the poem.

Until 50 years ago, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a certain family from the south of the Yangtze River presented a well-preserved and unique copy of "Wenxuan Collection" that has been handed down for many years.

As soon as this "Wenxuan Collection" was dedicated to the country, it attracted the attention of many scholars, because this version may be the earliest version in existence today, and it is very valuable for research.

"Wenxuan Collection" is Xiao Ziyu's good friend Shen Hanshan, after he left, he carefully sorted out and published a collection of poems.But no one would have thought that in his later years Shenzong would wantonly destroy many of Xiao Ziyu's poems.

After several twists and turns, there are fewer and fewer poems left behind.It wasn't until the middle of the Chen Dynasty that the literati at that time began to search for the ancients again, and the masterpieces of the literati in the Jin Dynasty really shined.Xiao Lingyin's "Wenxuan Collection" has also been handed down.

Of course, what has been handed down has been verified and revised by literati.

But this nameless poem about wandering immortals lost its proper title and preface in the process of spreading.

It was not until the book offering in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China that the small preface of the anonymous poem came to the world.

That's right, in the ancient "Wenxuan Collection", a small preface was added to the page of the unnamed poem.

This poem about wandering immortals is an inextricable mystery in the study of Xiao Ziyu's poems.

The strange thing about poetry is that in this preface, the poems are out of order, but the words are in order, so the author just wrote a small preface for this poem.

In the process of printing and publishing, the preface is not preserved according to common sense.

As mentioned above, the preface mentions the friend of that word Mingzhang.He wrote, "When I woke up late at night, I suddenly recalled the time I traveled with Mingzhang. I couldn't sleep for a long time, so I got up and wrote this poem, and I feel deeply."

This is a very common sentence, but it is quite surprising when it is connected with the content of the poem.

First of all, this unnamed poem is very distinctive and very different from Xiao Ziyu's previous style. Secondly, the imagery and allusions used in the poem have a faint tendency to express emotions. Although the writing is obscure, it is profound. The bamboo imagery in the book is not a eulogy of human character, but an expression of one's own loneliness, loneliness, and sadness.

Among the poems, there are some particularly uncommon allusions, but they are about the love between men and women.

The feeling of not being able to get what you want, sleepy and longing, leisurely and leisurely, tossing and turning, is beyond words.

When the author wrote this poem, there were still three or four years before his death. In addition to the particularity of Mingzhang, a friend, some scholars couldn't help but pay some attention to it.

Xiao Ziyu's wife, Ruan Shi, died early and did not continue her marriage. She left behind a son named Cheng, who was also a well-known painter in the late Jin Dynasty.

It is said that literati are romantic, but there are almost no romantic anecdotes about Xiao Ziyu. If it is said that he has a deep affection for his wife, there are not too many poems to show this.But in the eyes of everyone, he seems loyal, but also seems strange.

He seldom reveals his true feelings in his poems, except for the poem about wandering immortals.

In fact, in the last years of the Chen Dynasty, there was a well-known literati who was a dissolute son of an aristocratic family when he was young. He once said something that made people dumbfounded. .

In fact, there are also a few relatively enlightened scholars who secretly have doubts.There was even a well-known sinologist overseas who wrote a book called "Favorites and Worthy Ministers" devoted to discussing the close relationship between Xiao Lingyin and Jin Huizong Chuyan.The book examines the relationship between the pair of monarchs and ministers, sorts out the political environment at that time, and describes the unfavorable trust between the pair of monarchs and ministers through several major events.

Looking at Xiao Ziyu's life, it can be said that he was a lonely young man, but his official career was smooth sailing.He was a Jinshi in high school before he was crowned a crown when he was young, and even became the number one scholar.At the beginning, he was awarded the general judge, educated in Qingzhou, and later entered the Zhaowen Museum. After another three years, he was awarded the post of servant.In the seventh year of Yong'an, he paid homage to the Minister of Zhongshu and the Minister of the household department, and made peace with Zhongshu.At this time, he was only in his thirties, and he had already become a pilgrimage minister, standing at the center of the court, holding great power, above one person and under ten thousand people.

Yong'an is the reign name used by Jin Huizong. Jin Huizong's surname was Chu Mingyan.During the 23 years of Yong'an, Jin Huizong entrusted most of the state affairs to the ministers of the court. Among them, Xiao Ziyu was deeply favored and his authority became stronger and stronger.

Many people who study Xiao Ziyu's life really want to find more historical materials during Huizong's reign, and study the specific relationship between Xiao Ziyu and Jin Huizong, but unfortunately, most of the remaining materials are official.It stands to reason that officials of the Jin Dynasty loved to keep diaries, but even the diaries of the ministers at the same time could not find too many records.Even Huizong's daily life record has long been lost.Many historians suspect that this is related to the falsification of historical materials by Jin Shenzong, the son of Jin Huizong, in his later years.

No one knows why he did it.

Even Shenzong destroyed many of Xiao Ziyu's poems in his later years.Almost all scholars who study Shenzong's first dynasty will not let go of this controversial event in Shenzong's later years.Many people even believed that this was Shenzong's bottoming out under Xiao Ziyu's oppression in his early years.

But this argument is undoubtedly untenable.Indeed, after Huizong's death, when Shenzong came to power, he was not too old, and certainly not too young, but state affairs still depended on Xiao Ziyu, who was the prime minister.Moreover, Shenzong did not have any disputes, blames, or intentions to seize power against this prime minister who can be said to be in control of power.

On the contrary, from the historical materials left behind, it can be seen that there is undoubtedly a touch of warmth between them. Although one is the emperor and the other is the prime minister, there is a difference of more than 20 years in age, but the relationship between the emperor and his ministers There is always a tacit understanding between master and apprentice that is difficult for ordinary people to explain.

Xiao Ziyu was Shenzong's teacher when he was young.The friendship between them is obviously very deep. Even Shenzong collected many Xiao Ziyu's paintings and hid them in the palace. After Xiao Ziyu passed away, he even wrote many poems in memory of this former prime minister and mentor.

If it is said that Shenzong had objections to Xiao Ziyu, then he should have started destroying Xiao Ziyu's poems as early as after Xiao Ziyu's death, instead of doing this kind of thing 20 years later when Shenzong was old and weak and was about to pass away.

He also said that Xiao Ziyu's paintings, in fact, are not many remaining works, but more than a dozen, including paintings of landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures.

It is said that Shenzong of Jin Dynasty loved his calligraphy and paintings very much. When he left, he kept his paintings secretly in the palace.

As far as his painting skills are concerned, they are really exquisite.Compared with the literati paintings of the same period, his painting skills are indeed much higher.Literati painting was indeed born in the Jin Dynasty, but it mainly focused on the literati’s feelings and feelings, rather than the exquisite and lifelike painting skills.

Xiao Ziyu's paintings are not the same. Most of his paintings are exquisite and realistic, but they are also agile and have a strong character.

Among them, there is a pair of "Garden Touring Picture" which is the most light and delicate, which can be described as a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.

In the picture, the distant mountains are green and the clouds are floating.There is a temple faintly built in the mountains, and the trail is hidden in it.

Nearby, there are towering pavilions, winding corridors, surrounded by fields of lotus leaves and green pools.

In the middle of the day, the spring breeze brings warmth, the lake waves are rippling, and the willow trees on the shore are lightly fluttering.

And in the lake, a small boat floats with the waves, gradually drifting away, near the current, there is an ancient tree in the sky, with flourishing branches and leaves, cool and quiet.The boat is small and exquisite, and it seems that there are two people in the boat, reading and talking.

The brushwork is beautiful and elegant, the colors are elegant and elegant, quiet and beautiful, elegant and dusty, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

The predecessors commented that the garden in this painting is Jinming Pool, which is a royal garden. During the period of Emperor Huizong of Jin Dynasty, the scenery of this garden was still beautiful. , Jin Shenzong ordered the closure of the garden, and it was difficult for people to see it. By the end of Shenzong, the garden had been abandoned and never existed.

According to the notes of Jin people, there is a garden outside the capital city, which is more than nine miles away from Zhou Dynasty. It was repaired by the king of Wu in the previous dynasty.The king of Wu was obsessed with poetry and painting, and he gathered scholars from all directions. The scenery in the garden is high, deep and vast. Looking at the buildings in the mountains and forests from a distance, and seeing the mountains and rocks up close, it is extremely exquisite and interesting.

After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, Jinming Pond became a royal garden, because it is far away, it is secluded and quiet.Emperor Taizong loved this garden very much, so he took great effort to move the ancient trees in the southern wilderness, plant weeping willows by the river, and then spread the green lotus in the south of the Yangtze River. For a few days, the westerly wind was slightly sad, and the garden was full of fragrance.

A jade flying bridge was built, a square hall was built, and there were nine curved corridors with jagged rocks.

On a midsummer day, there are many lotus leaves, clear water and blue sky, and delicate lotus flowers. Occasionally, I can hear the sound of cicadas singing, which is sparse, and I can hear the flowing water flowing long and leisurely.The sky is very sunny. If you take a small boat, you will gradually enter the tree, and the ancient trees will cover the scorching sun, leaving only shade and comfort.

It's really a beautiful mountain, a beautiful view and a beautiful garden.

However, this "Garden Tour" also has Xiao Ziyu's friend who wrote the inscription seal, and there is even a seal with the word inscription seal engraved on it, and there is a poem left behind. The verse is in Xiao Ziyu's style, but the font is beautiful and beautiful , Unrestrained and unrestrained.This type of font is quite different from that of Xiao Ziyu, who is the author. Obviously, this poem was inscribed by another person.

As for who wrote the inscription, the artist himself said in the painting that he asked Mingzhang to inscribe the poem.

Inscribing poems and painting, all signs show that the person who inscribed this word and Xiao Ziyu have a close relationship.Looking at this poem again, the writing style is extraordinary, and Xiao Ziyu has to take care of him. He knows each other well and has a very close relationship, so he should not be an ordinary person.

But he couldn't find any trace of this person, his origin, or his life.

The mysteries of history, which are thought-provoking and fascinating, often lie here.

If it is another big mystery, it is another person. This person is not without a name, but this person seems to be born out of thin air. He only knows his name and book, but does not know his whereabouts.

This person's surname is He Ming'an, and he should be a member of the court during the Jin Dynasty Huizong. If the specific official position is mentioned, it is unclear for a while, but it is certain that he has worked in the History Museum. The history of the former dynasty seems to have left traces of him faintly.Although the ranking is low, it does have a lot of credit.

This person has an alias, known as the master of Haoxuanzhai, and wrote a travelogue called "Dongping Jishi", which is about some stories during the Jin Dynasty. Although it is a travelogue, it is more about prose discussions Ancient and modern, the views are novel, but they are also well-founded. In addition, the language is fresh, unique, and quite sentimental, which is quite popular among literati, so it has been passed down to this day.

These are only second to none. Qi Bianqi actually compiled a book "Shu Suan" in this person. If we say this book "Shu Suan" is really famous, this book alone makes He An The name has been passed down through the ages.

"Shusuan" can be said to be the general theory of mathematics from before the Jin Dynasty to the Jin Huizong period, and it has been sorted out and arranged.The language of this book is compact and accurate, which not only truly defines mathematics as mathematics, but also develops mathematics to a new level.

This book is divided into two volumes, the first volume is simple and easy to understand, and the second volume is profound and difficult to understand.The first volume sorts out the history of mathematical calculations, plus simple and easy-to-learn arithmetic knowledge, and the second volume is the discussion and reflection on some mathematical problems by ancient and modern mathematicians.

The most exquisite thing about this book is that the arrangement sequence is reasonable and precise, from easy to difficult, step by step, until a strict and rigorous framework is formed.

Since such a book can be compiled, it is natural that this person has an extremely high level of calculation.

Even in the notes of a literati at the end of the Jin Dynasty, he said that he still had a lost book called "Numerical Theory", in which he discussed some problems about arithmetic and mathematics. Not many people understood that book, but it once caused many people. Little controversy.Until later, Shenzong decreed many banned books in his later years and burned them one by one, so the book was lost.

It is also said that He An's life experience is hard to trace.

Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many scholars buried in historical materials and painstakingly searched for clues, but they did not achieve anything, which is really puzzling.

Some scholars said that maybe this name is also a pseudonym.

Therefore, we can't find the specific experience of this person as an official, and his biography.

This is an eternal mystery. It should have been buried in history books, buried in time, and unknown.

Unexpectedly, the excavation of a tomb revealed the so-called truth.

That is, Xiao Ziyu's tomb.

It is said that when he died, Shenzong mourned him and did not come to the court for ten days. He even rewarded him with the highest official position and posthumous title.

Undoubtedly, Shenzong loved him deeply, although he was not qualified to enter the emperor's mausoleum.

It is purely a rumor that the heroes of the Jin Dynasty can enter the emperor's mausoleum.

The only ones who can be buried next to the imperial mausoleum are princes, princesses, and wives of kings who died early.

Even only princesses who died early without getting married could be buried with them, and only queens could be buried in the imperial tomb.

Xiao Ziyu's tomb is quite secretive, and few people even mention it. It is even said that Shenzong specially selected a geomantic treasure land for him, built a mausoleum for him, and specially buried him. Not many people were even allowed to mention it, in order to prevent the tomb robbers from being too rampant.

The excavation of this tomb was an accident, and it was not even known that there was such a huge tomb here at the beginning.

During excavation in a certain village, cultural relics were found, and natural archaeologists were organized to start archaeological work on ancient tombs.

Soon, the identity of the owner of the tomb was confirmed.

Xiao Lingyin, whose name is Ziyu, also known as Wenxuan Layman, was born in Liuzhou, Sichuan and Shu.

In the spring of the 16th year of Yongping, he was hand-picked as the number one scholar in the palace examination, and he was also the youngest number one scholar in the Jin Dynasty.

Strangely, after deep excavation and cleaning of the tomb, it was found that there were no corpses in the tomb, only a large number of funerary objects.

This is an empty tomb, and it can even be called a clothed tomb.

But what is exciting is that there are many very important historical materials left in the tomb, those historical notes that have not been tampered with or deleted, and private diaries.Although it has been thousands of years, because the tombs are well preserved, although there are many damages, there are indeed a lot of particularly critical information left behind.

In particular, among the funerary objects is a set of well-made engraving and printing plates, which is actually "Shu Suan".

Soon, the truth reappeared in the world.

It turns out that He An, whose name is Mingzhang, is also known as the owner of Haoxuanzhai.

Then, who is He An's pseudonym? Based on the diary that has not been tampered with or burned in the tomb, although there is a vague guess, it is still unbelievable.

Of course, there is also an answer to where the tomb owner's body is.

In the empty coffin in the tomb, there were the last words of the owner of the tomb.

I have a friend whose surname is He and whose name is An.
