————It is the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and you will meet again when the flowers are falling.
In the eyes of most people, Li Guinian may be a dispensable character, and the deepest impression of him is only Du Fu's eternal saying "It is the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and the season of falling flowers comes again." "Jun". As everyone knows, as a musician, he also had an amazing talent in his youth, which made him famous in Chang'an.
However, after the Anshi Rebellion, "Jiangnan" at this time had long been changed, and only the scenery vaguely resembled that of the past. It was late spring, and Du Fu was living in Tanzhou, Hunan. Perhaps Du Fu was busy worrying about the rice at home that day, or looking for reinforcement tools for his thatched hut. In short, it was here that Du Fu suddenly met Li Guinian.
In such an era of broken mountains and rivers, in the alleys of different places, in the spring scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the old friends encountered by chance can best remind people of the past. It seems that the bloody reality in front of them is just a big dream. .
In the early years of Kaiyuan, Li Guinian and his two brothers were particularly appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty for their composition of "Weichuan Song". Because of their superb acting skills, even princes and nobles often invited them to sing, and each time they received thousands of rewards. They built a mansion in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and its scale even exceeded that of princes, princes and ministers.
"It is a common sight in King Qi's house, and I heard it several times in front of Cui Jiutang." In Du Fu's eyes, both royal nobles like King Qi and benevolent officials like Cui Jiu were full of praise for him. , treated as a distinguished guest.
In that vibrant and talented Kaiyuan era, Du Fu was still a fledgling young man. He had no worries about his country and his country, and he did not live a life without a bedside room. Embarrassing situation. Some are just fascination and admiration for the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
Perhaps he had also seen Li Guinian perform. Li Guinian was good at singing, playing bamboo baskets and drums, and was also good at composing music. The young man was singing and playing on the stage. As the music flowed and his clothes were flying, it was another stunning sight of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
It is said that singing and dancing can only bring peace and prosperity in prosperous times, but no one has noticed that there are countless crises hidden in the feasting and drinking tables in the audience, in the splendor of the prosperous and prosperous times.
In the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the Yang family's relatives, headed by Yang Guozhong, were in charge of the government inside the court. Outside the court, An Lushan raised his troops with great force, breaking through Luoyang all the way to the last barrier of Chang'an - —Tongguan. War is raging, starvation is everywhere, and everyone is in danger. The bloody reality finally breaks the dream of a prosperous age.
In the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty, only the twilight emperor and the unscrupulous officials were left, and for a while they could not send any generals who could fight. So he had to re-activate the weak border veteran Ge Shuhan and ordered him to lead an army of 200,000 to guard Tongguan.
However, Xuanzong decided to flee with his concubine and the scattered court team all the way west, leaving behind the city of Chang'an that had witnessed the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, and also Li Guinian and Du Fu. The common people of Chang'an, including the generals, were left far behind.
In troubled times, Li Guinian has long fallen from the altar. No one knows how much suffering he has experienced and how he ended up living in the south of the Yangtze River. The spirited young man who gracefully sang and played on the stage is gone after all. Instead, there was a weather-beaten old man who could barely make ends meet by selling and singing.
"It is the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and we meet you again when the flowers are falling." It is such a late spring season, when I meet old friends by chance, the warm spring light shines on the two of them, and all the things in the past, those prosperous times, , those swords and swords, those hardships and hatreds, seem to have turned into fallen flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, gradually disappearing in the wind.
It is always happy to see old friends. Maybe the two of them would order a pot of the usual wine in a nearby wine shop, tease each other about the gray hair on their temples, and talk about old things in Chang'an. When he was drunk, Li Guinian would still play the familiar Jie drum and sing a song "Weichuan Song".
"It is a common sight in Prince Qi's house, and Cui Jiutang has heard of it several times before. It is the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and we meet you again when the flowers are falling." Du Fu wrote "In the Year of Li Gui in the South of the Yangtze River" following the drunkenness. Just think of it as playing along to the music.
To this day, the people and things in those years have been lost in the long river of history and are rarely known. However, this poem has been passed down from generation to generation, creating a famous poem that has been widely praised throughout the ages.
