It should be taken from the last two lines of Yao Guangxiao's "Jingkou Reading".
Visiting the ancient times in Jingkou
——Yao Guangxiao (late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty)
Qiao and oars have been bloody for years, and the fireworks are still half-carved
Wuzhou Mountain has been clouded recently, and the Long Live Tower is empty at night and the moon is cold
The river has no tide and leads to the iron urn, but there is a road from Noda to Jintan
Where is Xiao Liang's career now? Beigu Qingqingke tired of reading
Let’s not talk about the previous ones, let’s talk about the last two sentences, which are also the two most classic sentences.
Xiao Liang: Liang in the Southern Dynasties. Because the surname of the royal family of the Liang Dynasty was Xiao, it was called Xiao Liang in history.
Beigu: Beigu Mountain, located on the bank of the Yangtze River, can be said to be a "Three Kingdoms Mountain". But it is also a mountain full of heroic spirit. Because of the story of the marriage of Sun and Liu, for thousands of years, countless literati and poets have visited Beigu and expressed their emotions and emotions at the scene, leaving behind many magnificent poems that swallowed up the mountains and rivers.
Beigu is a mountain, and there is a temple on the mountain. Qingqingke is a person wearing blue clothes. This refers to a monk (that is, Dao Yan himself). From his own words, it is too clear. I'm tired of looking at it
The translation is: Where are the mountains and rivers of the Southern Dynasties now? As a monk and a monk in Beigushan Temple, I am tired of watching this.
The meaning of "Nan Dynasty" refers to the rule of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
How was this poem written? : Daoyan and Zongli were both eminent monks in the early Ming Dynasty, and they had the experience of returning to Wumen from Nanjing in the ninth year of Hongwu. Zong Lai was even clear about Dao Yan's intentions, because when they returned to Wumen and passed by Beigu Mountain in Zhenjiang, Dao Yan accidentally exposed his ambitions in his poems.
The author Yao Guangxiao (1335～1418) was a politician and eminent monk in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. In the twelfth year of Yuan Zhizheng (1352), he became a monk. His Buddhist name was Daoyan, his courtesy name was Si Dao, and he called himself Fu Xuzi. A native of Changzhou County, Suzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province). He is well versed in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, and is good at poetry and prose. He made friends with writers such as Song Lian and Gao Qi, and learned Taoist "Book of Changes", alchemy and military strategism from Lingying Palace Taoist Xi Yingzhen. In the 23rd year of his stay in Jingshan, Master Yu'an devoted himself to the study of internal and external classics and became a relatively famous eminent monk at that time. But he never gave up his ambition to achieve great things and pursued utilitarianism. He admired Liu Bingzhong, the founding hero who was a monk in the early Yuan Dynasty, and wanted to achieve the founding of the country. In the early Ming Dynasty, because many of his old friends were killed by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, he had strong dissatisfaction with the politics of the Hongwu Dynasty.
In fact, when appreciating Yao Guangxiao’s poems, the most important thing is to understand people through poetry. When people talk about Guangxiao, they often slander him as a foreign monk. The reason is probably that he persuaded and helped King Yan to seize the throne of Taizu's direct grandson, which not only violated the precepts of Buddhism, but also violated the Confucian etiquette of monarchs and ministers. However, judging from the fact that he did not change his appearance after all, it cannot be concluded based on pure utilitarianism. Therefore, it seems appropriate to look back at the contradiction between sensibility and intellectuality that is pent up in my heart. This depression enabled Yao Guangxiao to have a harmonious understanding of the universe and life in terms of spiritual cultivation. On the other hand, in real life, he is full of real and broad sincere emotions towards the world.
Among the poems about climbing Beigu Mountain and lamenting the life of the country, the most famous one is probably "Yongyu Le Jingkou Beigu Mountain Nostalgia" by Xin Youan of the Southern Song Dynasty. "Throughout the ages, there are no heroes to be found, and Sun Zhong is looking for a place. On the dancing pavilion and singing platform, the wind is always blown away by the rain and the wind. The setting sun, grass and trees, the ordinary alleys, the slaves of humanity once lived. I think back then, the warriors fought with iron horses, and they were angry for thousands of miles. Like a tiger. Yuan Jia hastily sealed the wolf in Xu, and forty-three years later, I still remember the beacon fire on Yangzhou Road.
Who can ask, Lian Po is old, can he still make a living? ”
This momentum is indeed worthy of the word masterpiece. In fact, Xin Youan also wrote a small poem "Nanxiangzi Dengjingkou Beigu Pavilion has feelings", the artistic conception is similar to Jiaxuan's mood in his later years. It’s even more consistent. “Wherever you look at Shenzhou, you’ll see the beautiful scenery of Beigu Tower. How many things have happened through the ages? The Yangtze River flows slowly and endlessly. When he was young, he had ten thousand pockets of horses, and the war in the southeast has not ended. Who is the rival of the world's heroes? Cao Liu. Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. ”
Although Monk Daoyan at this time was not as old as Xin Qiji, the current situation of being in his early forties and having no achievements made him feel chilled and lost confidence. The truth is also the same, a monk has passed At forty, there was no success, and the days were waiting for him. So facing the roaring Yangtze River, Dao Yan couldn't help but feel frivolous and wrote the poem "Jingkou Viewing the Ancients"
"Where is Xiao Liang's career now? Beigu Qingqingke is tired of watching. How could such a poem escape Zong Li, a figure who has been in the political circle for a long time? He pointed it out in one sentence: "Does this explain Zi Yu?" "Dao Yan responded with a smile. From this little smile, you can imagine the close friendship between the two, and it also shows that Zong Li and Dao Yan have certain ideological similarities.
Once entering the political circle, It was like a fish in water for Dao Yan. After the death of Queen Ma, his relationship with King Yan became more than guest and host. Zhu Di was impressed by his knowledge, and he kept brainwashing Zhu Di for a long time. After the death of Prince Zhu Biao, he may have thought about it and actively fought for it, but the old monk (the old monk refers to Zhu Yuanzhang) quickly gave up this extravagant hope. /p>
In the process of establishing the emperor Zhu Yunwen, the old monk was not merciful to his son at all, just like he did to his subordinates. In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, the old monk made the final arrangements for his grandson. It is also the most useful guarantee. When this document called "The Ancestral Instructions of the Dynasty" was promulgated, the old monk made this custom: "Any descendant who wants to change the ancestral injunctions will be considered a treacherous minister and will be killed without mercy." He also reiterated that he was not allowed to establish a prime minister and was not allowed to seek evil, otherwise he would be killed without mercy. "The old monk simplified the problem. The so-called "when people leave, the tea is cool" is applicable to everyone. People are alive because they can think about changes. Rules are dead. People can always find a way to cover up the past. Old monk The biggest mistake was that he chose the wrong minister for Tuogu, or that he chose the wrong minister for his grandson to govern the country. All the ministers of Tuogu in the past dynasties were famous and powerful figures in the world, although they may become more powerful in the future. Some dark thoughts grew during the period, but they still could not easily shake the power of the family. However, in terms of maintaining the initial effect of the power change, the old monk found two precious grandsons. Cabinet clerks. Such scholars seem to be easy to control for the new king. There is no doubt about the loyalty of such people, but they also have some fatal flaws. One is talking on paper, and the other is fighting for power. These problems are old. It had no effect on the monk, but it was fatal on Jianwen Xinjun```````
It seemed to mean that he himself saw through that a big accident would happen to the Zhu Dynasty, so that the founding monarch The cornerstone of the foundation no longer exists (indeed, Chengzu ascended the throne, moved the capital, wasted the old people, wasted the old system, fought foreign wars for a long time, and overly trusted the eunuchs). Only Daoyan himself could see it clearly, and he was the one who helped Chengzu ascended the throne. Thank you for accepting it as the best answer and giving points.
