Chapter 118: How much sorrow can you have, just like a river flowing eastward...... I'm talking about Li Yu

"That's all the story about Xiang Yu, of course, this is not all of Xiang Yu, there are a lot of allusions to him, and his story is not finished. Now, let's go back to Song Ci. Just now, a classmate said, before the Song Dynasty, how did our words develop, and were there any representative figures? Here, I would like to tell you about a lyricist named Li Yu. ”

"Who is Li Yu, I don't know if any classmates know?"

Then.

A classmate raised his hand and replied: "Teacher Chen Fan, is the Li Yu you are talking about Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?" ”

"That's a very good answer."

Chen Fan nodded: "Yes." Although Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, threatened to abdicate the Zhou Chai clan and became emperor himself, there were still several regimes at that time. Among them, the Southern Tang Dynasty is one of the regimes, and even the most powerful one. Li Yu was the monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

"He, like many emperors of the Song Dynasty, is more artistic. Even, he is more prominent than the artistic cells of the emperors of the Song Dynasty. In terms of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they all have very high attainments. Especially his words, it can be said that Liu Sanbian and Li Qingzhao also inherited and developed the style of Li Yuci. ”

If you want to talk about Song Ci.

He can't leave Liu Sanbian, and he can't leave Li Qingzhao.

But when it comes to these two people, Li Yu is also a figure that cannot be ignored.

Chen Fan continued: "At that time, Song Taizu eliminated many regimes in one fell swoop, and Li Yu, the monarch of the Southern Tang Dynasty, knew that he was invincible, so he took the initiative to remove the Tang character from his country name and proclaimed himself the lord of Jiangnan. But despite this, Song Taizu still felt unstable, so he sent envoys to the Southern Tang Dynasty, hoping that Li Yu would enter Beijing. However, Li Yu was afraid that he would be detained after entering Beijing, so he wrote a letter to Song Taizu, expressing that they were willing to submit to the Northern Song Dynasty and hoped that Song Taizu would preserve their temple number. As soon as Song Taizu saw the letter, he immediately said that the side of the couch would not allow others to snore, and immediately sent soldiers and horses to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. It took less than a year for the Southern Tang to be defeated. Li Yu surrendered, and Song Taizu gave Li Yu the title of disobedient marquis. ”

A student raised his hand: "Teacher Chen Fan, why did Song Taizu give Li Yu as a disobedient marquis?" ”

In fact, there are not too many reasons for this, before Song Taizu wanted Li Yu to enter Beijing and surrender, but Li Yu did not obey the order. And when Song Taizu sent troops to attack, Li Yu still insisted on resisting. It was not until the end that he found out that he could not win the fight, and then he surrendered. Therefore, Song Taizu gave Li Yu the disobedient marquis. ”

This practice was common throughout the ages.

After defeating the monarch of a certain country, many kings will use various methods to humiliate them, even if they do not kill them.

For example, in the place where the title is granted, the disobedient marquis, the cowardly marquis, and the fugitive marquis will be used...... A class of them.

After explaining a little, Chen Fan continued: "It was also Li Yu who wrote many well-known lyrics after being placed under house arrest by Song Taizu. For example, this song "Seeing Joy, Going to the West Building Alone Without a Word". ”

[Silently go up to the west building alone, the moon is like a hook. Lonely Wutong deep courtyard lock Qingqiu.

Cut constantly, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful. Don't be a general taste in your heart......]

There is hardly any need for translation.

It's all literal.

When Chen Fan only wrote this poem on the blackboard, everyone was infected by this poem.

You imagine that.

His own country was destroyed.

And being placed under house arrest by others is actually equivalent to captivity.

In the face of the shattering of the country, everything that was previously owned is gone.

I can't describe such sorrow, but I have always held it in my heart...... Don't be an ordinary taste, I'm afraid not many people can appreciate it.

But about Li Yu's sorrows, there are more than these.

One day, Li Yu had a dream. In the dream, he returned to his native land. But when he woke up, he found that it was just a dream. So, he wrote a poem "Wave and Sand Order". ”

[The rain outside the curtain is murmuring, the spring is in full swing, and Luo Ji is not tolerant of the five colds. In my dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for joy.

Alone without relying on the column, infinite rivers and mountains, it is easy to see when it is difficult to see. Flowing water and flowers go in spring, and the heavens and the earth are ......]

Chen Fan didn't need to explain Li Yu's words.

Although Li Yu wrote the words of the death of the country, his words are very easy to understand.

Just like the "I don't know that I am a guest in my dream", think about the current situation...... When you think about it, it doesn't feel like an ordinary taste.

He likened himself to a guest, and he gave himself great comfort in his calculations.

In fact, his present life, where is a guest, is completely a prisoner.

And the infinite rivers and mountains of the Southern Tang Dynasty before, it was so easy to separate, and it was impossible to see each other again.

Heaven and earth.

It's not just a contrast here.

Li Yu's life in the past and his current life are naturally one in heaven and the other in earth.

In fact.

This heaven and earth...... But it has a deeper meaning.

Heaven and Earth...... Now, the world has changed.

Now, it is no longer the world of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the world of the Great Song Dynasty.

The students did not disturb Chen Fan, and no students raised their hands to ask questions again.

For them, the words are very easy to understand.

But it is also very easy to understand, but Li Yu's kind of sorrow poured into their hearts.

They don't know what to say.

Because, many people have not been able to experience Li Yu's situation.

But through Li Yu's words, they seem to be able to achieve spiritual communication with Li Yu.

It's a wonderful kind of communication.

This is also the charm of poetry.

"Three years after Li Yu was imprisoned, that is, in 978, the seventh day of the seventh month of this year, it was Li Yu's birthday. Li Yu created a new poem called Yu Meiren, and after the creation was completed, Li Yu also made the courtesan sing his new words, which became popular for a while. At this time, Song Taizu had died, and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne. When Zhao Guangyu heard about this, he ordered someone to give him a cup of poisoned wine......"

Speaking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh.

Sometimes.

When the level of lyrics written by the lyricist is too high, it is often influenced by him.

Just like reading Lu You's poems, you will be moved by Lu You's patriotism.

Reading Xin Qiji's words, I will be shocked by his bold momentum.

Reading Li Qingzhao's words, you will be greeted by a little thing in his life.

Reading Li Yu's words now, I will be even more helpless after Li Yu's death.

"Teacher Chen Fan, that is to say, this "Poppy Beauty" has become Li Yu's masterpiece?"

"So to speak."

"That ......"

There is no need for the student to say more, Chen Fan has already written it again on the blackboard:

[When is the spring flower and autumn moon?] How much do you know about the past? Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight.

The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. How sad can you be? Just like a river flowing eastward......]

This is Li Yu.

By the time you read this poem, his country was gone.

No.

It's not just his country.

Even he was given death by poisoned wine.
