When will the swallow return?
Only celebrities' blue shirts and beauties' loess are empty.
The new structure of Qionglou adds color to the peerless Emei;
once again, I saw the romantic scenery of the moon and the old slope in Xiangshan.
This is a couplet inscribed by Hu Zuoqing, a close friend. Judging from the contents of the couplet, it should be the couplet inscribed after the reconstruction or maintenance of the Yanzi Building at that time. In a few words, the past lives, history and cultural origin of the Yanzilou will be displayed.
Just as other famous classical buildings bear too much cultural accumulation, the Yanzi Building has also formed its own cultural context and accumulated its own cultural connotation in the historical changes of more than 1,2 years. Of course, there are also those cultural life associated with them, and it is they who carve the cultural imprint on these buildings and make them become a cultural image and symbol. When history comes to an end and later generations go to judge and recall, it may be unclear whether the building is passed down by people or borrowed by people.
There is quite a story about the origin of the Yanzi Building: During the Zhenyuan period of Tang Dynasty, Zhang Cheng, a senior minister, was appointed as our ambassador of Wuning Army and guarded Xuzhou. There are many geisha in Zhang Cheng's house, and one of them is beautiful and good at singing and dancing, which is called Panpan by Zhang Cheng's favorite. Later, Bai Juyi, then secretary of the provincial school, traveled from Chang 'an to Xu and Si. Zhang Cheng has always admired Bai Juyi's poetic talent, so he hosted a banquet for Bai Juyi at the palace. When the wine was in full swing, Panpan was called out to accompany him. Panpan performed his famous dance music "Nishang Feather", and his skills almost reached a superb level. Both the host and the guest were deeply impressed by his superb dance skills. Bai Juyi therefore presented a poem saying: "Drunk and charming can't win, and the wind blows peony flowers." The banquet ended in a joyous way, and we never met again. Although Bai Juyi and Panpan met only once, they left a deep impression on Bai Juyi. As a result, Bai Juyi later wrote poems about the swallow house, recalling the past at that time, and still felt a lot. A few years later, I learned about Panpan from my friend Zhang Zhongsu: "Shangshu died and was buried in Dongluo, while Pengcheng (now Xuzhou) has Zhang's old place, and the first one has a small building named Swallow. I hope to miss my old love and not marry. I have lived in the building for more than ten years, and I am still alone. "
After this story is finished, some people may find that the whole story involves the swallow house only in a passing phrase. If you don't pay attention, you may not even know it exists. However, this cannot be ignored. As long as you think about it a little, you will know the meaning. Is Zhang's old house the only swallow house? Why did Panpan live on the swallow house for more than ten years? It is not difficult to see the position of the swallow house in Panpan's heart, and then we can know that the swallow house should carry too many beautiful stories that happened with Panpan before his death. Seeing things and thinking about people, you may be able to pin your grief a little. Panpan is a geisha with both talents and looks. It is not difficult to find another servant. However, I hope to miss my old love and not marry. I have lived in Yanzilou for more than ten years, which shows my loyalty to love. The swallow house is carrying this loyal love story, and it will never be separated from it again.
Bai Juyi has never seen Panpan since he left Zhang Cheng's mansion. A few years have passed, and a wonderful experience will become an eternal memory and will not be picked up. I don't want one day, my good friend Zhang Zhongsu visited him and showed him his latest poem. I was surprised to find that there were three poems "The Swallow House". After careful inquiry, my friend told him about Zhang Shangshu's long-awaited festival after his death. Reading the poem, Bai Juyi was lost in thought. His eyes may see the beautiful and moving dance when he was dancing "colorful plumage" at that banquet, and the lonely figure sitting alone in a small building now. In any case, he never imagined that what happened later had such a big turning point, and Panpan, who once seemed weak and frivolous, was such a determined and loyal woman. Just when he was lost in thought, his friend suddenly interrupted him, and then he took back his thoughts and composed himself, praising the poem for being well written. Then, after a little thinking, I started to write a poem.

The pines and cypresses in Beimang lock up their worries and smoke, and the thoughts in the swallow house are quiet.

I often think that the spread of the story of the Yanzilou has incorporated some coincidental factors. Imagine that if Bai Juyi did not have a trip to Pengcheng in those days, he would have met Panpan once. Even when reading the poem "The Yanzilou", he might praise the poem at most, but he might not sing a poem together. As he said in the preface of the poem, "I love painting new poems and feel the old tour of Pengcheng, so I have the same topic and make three quatrains." Without Bai Juyi's peace poems, the story of Yanzilou and Panpan may not be celebrated in later generations, and Bai Juyi played a vital role in it. Or if Zhang Zhongsu, a friend, didn't show Bai Juyi his new poem, Bai Juyi might have forgotten the experience of that year, and he didn't know what he hoped for later. How could he write the poem of Yanzilou? It is these coincidences that happened together, and the story of Yanzilou was finally passed down to the afterlife, so it was given the mark of loyal love.
The times have quietly changed while people are still reading the poem The Swallow House and telling the story of hope. The scene of the flourishing age of Kaiyuan has long been the words narrated in books and the stories told by the elders when the old people were children. Datang has entered the countdown to the end, and troubled times are coming.
In ancient China, however, every dynasty changed, besides the people, there were also buildings left by the previous dynasty. Whether it's a palace or an ordinary pavilion, it's hard to be sure.
the swallow house has not been spared.
It is recorded in history that in April of the second year of Tang Jingfu (893), Pang Shigu, a general under Zhu Wen, invaded Xuzhou City. When Fu Juzu boarded the Yanzi Tower and set himself on fire, the Yanzi Tower was burned to the ground.
Although the Yanzi Building was destroyed, her cultural life continues. Her cultural life was doomed to be immortal from the moment she was created. She will not die because of the destruction of architectural entities, and her life has been attached to the inheritance of text culture. The existence of architectural entity is to continuously enrich the thickness of her cultural life, and also to provide concrete support for the memory of later generations.
The spread of many cultural relics in China has benefited from the help of famous poems by literati, which has become a cultural tradition. They met with these cultural sites unexpectedly because of wandering, or because of relegating officials to distant places, and pinned their happiness and pain on this, leaving some sighs of nostalgia for the past and hurting the present. They may not know that these cultural relics have been linked with their cultural life.
Speaking of this, two names suddenly came to mind-Su Shi and Wen Tianxiang.
Su Shi is a special existence in the cultural history of China. He is an all-rounder with his own poems, articles, paintings and calligraphy. Anything related to him will be passed down as a beautiful story for later generations, and the Yanzilou was lucky enough to have a connection with Su Shi, and from then on, the two had each other's figure in their cultural life.
Things have to start from the time when Su Shi was in charge of Xuzhou.
in March of the tenth year of Song Xining, Su Shi was transferred to Xuzhou Zhizhou. Less than three months after he took office, he encountered a very difficult thing. The Yellow River levee in Caocun, the upstream of Zhouzhou burst, and then the flood went down the trend and rushed to Xuzhou. In this case, Su Shi showed the responsibility and responsibility that a local official should have. He led the people of the whole city to help each other in the same boat, build dikes for emergency rescue, and always rushed to the front line of flood fighting. It is understandable to hear that the rich people in the city have asked for refuge out of the city, but Su Shi knows very well that people are in panic at the moment. If someone goes out of the city, people's hearts will be chaotic, so Xuzhou will be lost. He stood at the head of the city, clarified their interests, and coaxed with each other, finally stabilizing the people's hearts and avoiding man-made disasters. Then Su Shi led the city's officials and people to persist for more than 7 days, and finally defeated the flood and saved the city.
Although the flood receded, it was hard to guarantee that it would never come again, so Su Shi set out to build a flood control levee. At the same time when the levee was completed, a ten-foot-high pavilion was built above the east gate of the city, named "Yellow House". The naming of the Yellow House is closely related to the traditional theory of five elements. Because water is controlled by soil, and soil is yellow, it is named Yellow House. This is not only the moral of the town flood, but also the commemoration of Qi Xin, a city official and citizen, working together to fight floods and protect the city.
In this year's Double Ninth Festival, a grand ceremony was held in the Yellow House. That morning, the morning fog was misty and the autumn frost was first killed, and there was a chill in the air. Nevertheless, people's interest has not been affected at all, and people have come to watch the celebration. Wu Ge dances in Chu, full of laughter and excitement. Su Shi and his guests boarded the Yellow House, and everyone came to the front of the building and stopped to look far away, but when they saw the vast expanse of whiteness in front of them, they could not see the distant scenery. Even the ancient temple standing on the south mountain has disappeared, only the sound of ships sculling at the gate can be heard. At this time, the old people were afraid of the cold, and Su Shi called everyone to sit and drink to drive away the cold. After drinking a cup of hot wine, the chill gradually dissipated. Everyone toasted each other and smiled, but their hearts were mixed. Although today's banquet is not rich, it is very fortunate to be able to sit here and drink and talk leisurely. The situation of Chongyang last year is still vivid, and I still have a lingering fear in retrospect. ?
Last year, the Double Ninth Festival was not to be said, and it was midnight in Nancheng.
the water thundered under the city, and the mud was flying and raining all over the city.
No one asked about Huanghua Liquor, and returned at dusk to wash boots and socks.
I don't know that there will be another year. Take a sip of the flower face.
? -
September 9th last year was the hardest time to fight floods. At that critical moment, everyone's life hangs by a thread. A person's long life was suddenly shrunk to the front, and everyone was set up with a hurdle. I wonder if I can cross it, who would have thought that there would be such a scene today. At this time, Su Shi stood up and raised his glass to propose a toast to everyone, and everything was in the wine.
After the flood receded, there was another drought in Xuzhou. "There is no snow in winter and no rain in spring, and the smoke and dust are flourishing, and the vegetation is anxious". As a state official, how can you not try your best to solve problems for the people? It is said that there is a stone pool twenty miles east of the city, which corresponds to the increase or decrease of turbidity in Surabaya. Putting the tiger's head in the middle of the tan can cause a thunderstorm, so I went to pray for rain myself. Perhaps it was a blessing, and then it really rained one after another, and the drought was alleviated.
In his spare time, he often invites friends to visit and watch, and compose poems. You can't come to Xuzhou without seeing the Yanzilou. Since the Tang Dynasty, the story of the Yanzilou has been widely circulated, and the poems about the Yanzilou can be collected into a collection of poems. He came to the swallow downstairs many times, stopped to stare and thought for a long time, but failed to go upstairs to have a look. Until a full moon night, he finally decided to climb the swallow house. At that time, it was the middle of the month, and everything was quiet around him. He crept up for fear of disturbing the people upstairs. After going upstairs, he carefully looked around again. After looking around, he found that there was no one. He suddenly seemed to understand something, and clear voice smiled. Yes, the story of Panpan was more than 2 years ago, and the building was not the swallow house of that year. How can we find the mark of Panpan here? Panpan was lonely and depressed at that time, perhaps only she could understand it. After Cang Sang's history, what can future generations expect from them except a sigh? Thinking of this, his thoughts began to clear up:
The moon is like frost, the wind is like water, and the scenery is infinite. Jumping fish in a curved harbor, shedding dew in a round lotus, lonely and unseen. Like three drums, it is like a leaf, and the dark dream cloud is broken. The night is boundless, I find nowhere again, and I feel that I have traveled all over the small garden.
the end of the world is tired of visitors, and you will return home in the mountains, looking at your hometown. The swallow house is empty, where is the beauty, and the swallow in the empty lock house. It's like a dream in ancient and modern times, but there are old joys and new grievances. At different times, the night view of the Yellow House is a sigh for Yu Hao.

He thought a lot this night and reviewed his experience in the past two years. I led the people of the whole city to fight floods, build long dikes, build yellow buildings and resist the spring drought. I did my best, and I should be worthy of the court and the people.
This experience in Xuzhou triggered Su Shi's deep thinking about life and history. During this period, it took a lot of effort. The dangers and hardships encountered, the choice between life and death, and the bitterness in it can only be understood by people at that time. When times have changed, today's suffering has long been an old story recalled by future generations, they may express their nostalgia, but they will never understand the inner feelings of people at that time. Just as today's people can't feel the heart that they were looking forward to. Fortunately, I left some things that can make future generations remember me. It is the greatest comfort to oneself if future generations can miss themselves as much as they miss themselves when they climb the swallow house and express their regrets for themselves.
The encounter between Su Shi and the Yanzilou is mutual luck. Su Shi began to think more about life and history, and the Yanzilou was endowed with the connotation of the world in ancient and modern times.
after su Shi, let's talk about Wen Tianxiang.
After Su Shi, Jingkang changed, and the Yanzi Building was destroyed in the war. When Wen Tianxiang comes again, it will be 2 years later. At this time, the Dasong dynasty has reached a critical moment of life and death. Unfortunately, the Yanzilou has not witnessed all this. Because, at this time, the swallow house is still in ruins.
However, today's broken mountains and rivers are not much better than this ruin. Years of war have already caused untold suffering. In the face of powerful force, culture and civilization seem so weak and helpless. But it is the weak scholars in the eyes of Mongolian fighters who still persist in their obsession and stubbornly resist. You can beat me, but you can never make me yield. In the end, Lu Xiufu, the left prime minister, threw himself into the sea with his young emperor, and Zhang Shijie, the commander-in-chief of Song Jun, was defeated and died. Together with Wen Tianxiang, they were called "three outstanding men in the late Song Dynasty".
Wen Tianxiang was captured in Wulingpo, Guangdong Province. After being taken to the Yuan Army Camp in Chaoyang, Zhang Hongfan, commander-in-chief of the Yuan Army, asked him to write to surrender Zhang Shijie. Wen Tianxiang didn't obey at first, but was forced to do so, so he wrote the poem "Crossing Dingyang" to make his mind clear.
once hard work comes, there are few stars around.
the mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and the life experience is ups and downs.
fear is said on the beach, and there is a sigh in the ocean.
who hasn't died since ancient times? Take the heart of Dan and shine on the history.
he gradually calmed down after experiencing the unwillingness and regret after being captured. The building will collapse, and there is really nothing he can do. Now, besides setting an example by death, what can he do for the court? He knew that the tide was irreversible.
after calming down, he began to recall his past. I thought that when I answered the right question in the Jiying Hall, I was so full of words that I won the emperor's admiration and won the first prize in one fell swoop. How high-spirited it was. At that time, he was only twenty years old. Since then, it has been
