Chapter 265: A Different Qing Dynasty People
The next day, Cai Xiaoyu returned the finished book back to the shelf, and he did not forget to share the poem "Jihai Miscellaneous Poems" with his friends.
Talking about the character of Gong Zizhen, Ladola has something to say.
"Gong Zizhen was born in the Qianlong period, grew up in the Jiaqing period, and served as a proofreader of the National History Museum since the first year of Daoguang, and has 315 poems of "Jihai Miscellaneous Poems" was created by Gong Zizhen on the way to Hangzhou after leaving the capital."
Edamame Mao's head was dizzy when he heard this, he made a pause gesture and said, "Wait, dola, you're about to make my head dizzy...... What Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang's...... Didn't Cai Xiaoyu say that Gong Zizhen was a Qing Dynasty man with big braids? ”
"I know this!" Tang Duoduo jumped out, he said: "I went to the Forbidden City in Beijing to play, Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang were all emperors of the Qing Dynasty!" ”
"Oh, yes. The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in China, and the closest to you. The founder of the Qing Dynasty was the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, and Nurhachi's son, Huang Taiji, established the Great Qing Dynasty. After entering the customs, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty was the Shunzhi Emperor, followed by Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu and Xuantong. ”
After listening to Ladola's words, Tang Duoduo remembered an interesting thing again, he actively raised his hand and grabbed the words: "I know a smooth mouth, if you remember this smooth mouth, you will remember everything!" Listen up: Nurhachi Emperor Shunkang, Yongqian Jiadao Xiantongguang, a total of 12 emperors in the Qing Dynasty, the last Xuantong is the saddest. ”
"Haha, yes, yes, this tongue twister is easy to remember." La Dola reminded: "But Nurhachi and Huang Taiji are names, and they are all year names from Shunzhi onwards." Don't confuse the name with the name of the year, if you do, it will be a joke. ”
Tang Duoduo interjected: "I can't be mistaken, I know that Emperor Kangxi's name is Xuanye, he has been the emperor for 61 years, and Emperor Qianlong is called Hongli, he has been the emperor for 60 years......"
Edamame Mao listened, crossed his fingers to do arithmetic problems, and he was surprised: "Wow! This Gong Zizhen has experienced three emperors, so isn't he an old birthday star?! ”
Tang Duoduo stomped his feet with laughter, and he said, "How is that possible?!" Not every emperor will be that long! I just talked about the two longest-reigning emperors of the Qing Dynasty. ”
"I see...... "Edamame Mao reacted, and he said embarrassedly, "yes! How did my brain turn ......?"
"Understanding the history of the Qing Dynasty will also help you understand the poetry of that dynasty. Did you find out? What poets write about is often distinctly contemporary. For example, in the prosperous era, poets often sang praises of virtue and affection for the landscape. And in troubled times, poets often pinpoint the disadvantages of the times. Just like Gong Zizhen, when he was born, the Qing Dynasty had begun to decline, and the court had become decadent and dark, so his poems often appeared in the idea of "changing the law" and "changing the map". ”
The children nodded one after another, and Cai Xiaoyu asked: "Is the Qing Dynasty poet in the prosperous era different from Gong Zizhen's style?" I'm interested. ”
La Dola rolled its eyes, it snorted, and with an idea, it replied:
"Let me introduce you to one of the most famous talents of the Qing Dynasty! Although he is not famous for his poetry, he is a good hand at writing lyrics! His name is: Nalan Xingde. ”
