The long and glorious history and beautiful and rich mountains and rivers have brought up many outstanding talents for Shanxi, special talents in Shanxi's special geographical environment, and also influenced the fate of Shanxi and even the whole country. In the history of Chinese civilization, various outstanding figures have emerged on the land of Shanxi, if the stars are shining.
Legendary people or gods often hear people talk about the goddess mending the sky, Dayu controlling water, Jingwei filling the sea, Yishan, Shennong, Xuanyuan Huangdi, Fuxi, later generations, Lei Zuer, one of the "silkworm ancestors", Zhang, all of which happened in Shaanxi.
Among them, The goddess patching the sky's practice happened in Fushan, Shuidong Village, Zhongcun Township, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. People regard Nu Wa as the great mother of the Chinese nation and Fuxi as the ancestor of the Chinese nation. There are Shennongling and Baigu Mountain at the junction of Gaoping and Changzhi counties in Shanxi, and Taihang Mountain in Yishan, Gong Yu is located in Shanxi. Speaking of Lv Dongbin, the first thing that comes to your mind is "Lv Kun and Dong Bin don't know how to win the hearts of the people". This comes from an interesting story. In Lv Dongbin, there is a kindred spirit whose surname is Gou Mingkun. Her parents died, and Lv Dongbin's family was very good. So they called him home and told him to concentrate on his studies so that he could get an official position in the future. A guest learned about Gou Kun's family background, saw that he was personable and well-spoken, and Gou Jian had a good impression on the girl's appearance, so he made Lv Dongbin a matchmaker. Gou Jian was very happy when Lv Dongbin told him about it. This is a condition put forward by Lv Dongbin to Gou Jian. "My good brother is getting married. I'll stay with the bride for three days first." If I don't say yes, I will be afraid of not getting a beautiful wife. So I can call myself incompetent and resent Lv Dongbin's evil.
On the wedding day, Lv Dongbin arranged everything and went into the new house. If he can only hide and sigh, the bride sits by the bed with red sand on her head. I didn't hear anything in the first class and didn't make any noise in the second class. The third class is the same as no one. The bride lifted the sand a few times and stole a look, only to see the groom sitting with his back to reading. For three nights in a row, I don't know why, she only brought a bride. You might as well leave me early! "Hearing this, I suddenly understood that Lv Dongbin was so diligent that I was wrong about my brother. I told the bride the whole story at that time. The two of them thanked Lv Dongbin for his hard work and continuous progress. Later, I studied hard. After several years, I finally succeeded and went to other places to be an official.
A few years have passed, and natural and man-made disasters have made Lv Dongbin, who has always been rich, hard up. He said to his wife, "I'll go to Gou Kun and come back in a few days." Gou Kun will never be ungrateful. "
When Lv Dongbin found the hook, he was very surprised. Seeing Lv Dongbin's emaciation and poverty, he hardly dared to be Joseph. Gou Gou entertains Lv Dongbin every day. A month passed, and he didn't mention anything about helping. Lv Dongbin saw that he was an ungrateful villain, so he left without saying goodbye and went home alone.
When Lv Dongbin came home, he didn't see the house. He asked people about it. Everyone else avoided him like a ghost, which puzzled his second monk. When he found a new house built at home and walked into the house, he found his wife crying with a coffin in her arms. Lu called his wife, who froze for a long time and said, "It's really you. You scared me to death." It turns out that the coffin was carried the day before. Some people say that Lv Dongbin died of illness in Gou Gou, and that when he was seriously ill, he couldn't go back there for a while. It was Lu who asked them to build a new house. Hearing this, Dong Bin fell into the fog of Wuli even more. When he opened the coffin, he saw dazzling gold and silver jewelry. There is a note on it, which says, "Give me money to build a house. If you are very ill, you can't come back. You call me. " Lu smiled bitterly after reading it and hit this "not happy." It got around.
Among the emperors in China, there are countless emperors in Shanxi, such as: Tang Shuyu is from Taiyuan, Shanxi; Jin Wengong, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, was born in Quwo, Shanxi; Liu Yuan in Han Dynasty was from Xinzhou. Xerox of Houzhao is from Yushe; Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wen Chengdi, Levin and Gao Huan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Shi Jingtang of the Later Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Chong of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Xucun of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Empress Wu Zetian was born in Wenshui, Shanxi. At the age of fourteen, he entered the palace, away from his mother, and came to a strange world without any power. After entering the palace, he became a talent and was named "Mei Niang". Once, Emperor Taizong asked, "There is a fierce horse, who can tame it?" Wu Zetian came out and said seriously, "Just give me three things. Whips can't be hammered, hammers can't be hammered, give me a knife. " These words came from Wu Zetian at an early age. After hitting the floor, he was a talent of Taizong 1 1 year and was not promoted. Before the death of Emperor Taizong, she was arranged to be a nun in Kanye Temple and a nun in Emperor Taizong's harem. She has entrusted herself to the prince who is four years younger than herself. On the second anniversary of Emperor Taizong's death, Li Zhi went to Ganye Temple to make pilgrimages, and met his missing mei Niang in the meditation room. Gaozong advised her to wait patiently and arranged for her to re-enter the palace. For Wu Zetian, this opportunity is very important, because with 1 1 year, she will have a brilliant life, and she will have 18.
Wu Zetian entered the palace for the second time and won the favor of Emperor Gaozong. She gave birth to a prince and a princess for Emperor Gaozong. In addition, she is good at winning people's hearts and her status is constantly improving. However, Wu Zetian's goal is the queen's throne. Wu Zetian's second child is a daughter, which is very likable. The queen couldn't help but go and have a look. She made fun of the sentence and learned that the emperor was coming. After the queen left, Wu Zetian took the opportunity to strangle her daughter and then gently covered the quilt. After a while, the emperor came, and Wu Zetian was still laughing, but she opened it and found that the child was dead. She couldn't help crying. The emperor asked about the situation, and the maids said, "Gangcai Huang is the queen of China". Emperor Gaozong asserted without thinking that "the queen killed my daughter", so he abolished the queen and made Wu Zetian the queen.
In this way, Wu Zetian ascended the queen's throne, seemingly cruel, but the sudden change of court life was either a fish or an invasion in the storm of political struggle. It happened that the emperor was in poor health and often had dizziness and headache, so Wu Zetian sat in the curtain and gave advice to the emperor at any time. Wu Zetian's power was equal to that of the emperor, and she was called "two saints" at that time. Later, Mr. Gao felt that the emperor had no taste, and then he simply refused to go to court on the pretext of having a headache. She handed over all political affairs to Wu Zetian. Entrusted by Tang Gaozong, she formulated a strategy to pacify the frontier, and the imperial army SHEN WOO was powerful.
For China's feudal culture, women are only the ornament and foil of the patriarchal society, and women's politics is even more difficult for traditional culture. It is in this cultural background that Wu Zetian achieved the breakthrough of "Queen China".
Two months after Tang Gaozong's death, Wu Zetian sent someone to kill Prince Li Xian, abolished Zhongzong, and made four sons Li Dan emperor, but he lived in a different hall and was not allowed to participate in politics, thus pacifying the Yangzhou rebellion. Wu Zetian is a mature politician after all. In 690, the Double Ninth Festival, the 67-year-old virgin jade emperor Wu Zetian; Officially ascended the throne and established the Zhou Dynasty. She reached the peak of power from the talented woman of Mei Niang, Empress Zhao Yi and Empress Yu to the emperor.
Following the cycle of China's history, how many emperors stepped on the land of Shaanxi and ascended the thrones of xi, Luoyang and Beijing? Shanxi, the "land of the first military strategist" in the world, has become a competition field for the rise and fall of imperial dynasties. With the periodic regime change in China, the northern nomads went south, while Shanxi was at the junction of the ancient Central Plains and the northern nomads, with frequent wars, which also doomed Shanxi's martial arts. Famous soldiers come forth in large numbers, influenced by the loess culture, tempered by the north wind of Shuobei and influenced by the folk customs of martial arts, which have created the loyalty and wisdom of Shanxi military commanders, such as Yu Rang, one of the eleven assassins, Lian Po, a general of Zhao State, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of Han Dynasty, Wang Jian, Huo Guang and Guan Yu of Three Kingdoms, Jin of Li Mu, Zhang Liao and Weichi Gong of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Xue of Xinjiang and Yang Ye of Northern Song Dynasty. At the same time, Prime Ministers Di, Lin Xiangru, Tang, Yuan, Yuan, and Yuan also appeared.
Wei Qing, the first general of the Han Dynasty, was born in Pingyang, Hedong. When she was a teenager, she used to shepherd sheep. When I grew up, I became a slave to Princess Pingyang, the eldest sister of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Someone gave him a face-to-face interview, saying that his life was good and he would be blessed with a title in the future. Later, Wei Qing was really named Hou because of his brilliant record. However, it is better to say that Wei Qing dares to fight than Wei Qing dares to fight. She fought in the Huns seven times in her life. Wei Qing's real name is Zheng, and she takes her mother's surname. Soon after Wei Zifu entered the palace, he was deeply loved by the emperor, and was later named the queen.
Because Wei Zifu was the queen, Wei Qing entered the palace and became a servant. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty originally wanted to please a queen, but unexpectedly he recruited an indomitable general for the Han Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was implementing a grand strategy to counter the Huns. The appearance of Wei Qing accelerated the implementation of this great strategy. Wei Qing was ordered to go to war one after another and won a great victory. He has never been so proud since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing returned to the DPRK in triumph, and all the officials went to the horse to meet him. In recognition of Wei Qing's contribution, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sealed his five sons, but politely declined to say, "The palace is a soldier's job and should be sealed."
Since ancient times, heroes have produced teenagers. In 123 BC, Huo Qubing, who was only 18 years old, went to the Huns with his uncle Wei Qing. Huo Qubing was covered in blood. Just turned 20, she led 10,000 cavalry out of Longxi, entered Hudi for five years, and went straight to Qilian Mountain. Later, Wei Qing became the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the master's servant became the master's husband. Since the Han Dynasty had Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, he no longer had to be forced to send his own flesh and blood to the desert to please the Huns. Today, whenever we talk about the Han nationality with great pride, have you ever thought that our pride began in Huo Qubing and Wei Qing?
Guan Yu, an eternal famous soldier, "buried his head in Luoyang, lying in Dangyang, Hubei, and his soul returned to Shanxi", an eternal famous soldier in Hedong, was greedy for public interests and kindness when he was young, and he was desperate for life because he killed a local tyrant who insulted his daughter. As a result, the "Taoyuan Sanjieyi" cooperated with Liu Bei and Zhang Feijie, and Guan Yu was only named Hou Ting of Hanshou before his death, with only one township-level treatment, and became famous after his death. This official worships him. As long as Guan Gong nods, your career will flourish, your career will be successful, and the immortal will grow bigger and bigger. Businessmen will worship him, Guan Yu will not take ill-gotten gains, he will be very powerful. He can not only cut off unjust people, but also ensure peace and prosperity, and the warriors all worship him, because Guan Gong is "the bravest in China" and "the greatest power in the world", which is not only a model for soldiers, but also enables you. Moreover, he is generous and kind, and he is worthy of burying a genius, ensuring that you can get official wealth. The farmer worships him very much, because Guan Gong is a god, a dragon in the sky, who can spread clouds and rain, and has human experience, knows everything about farmers, understands their sufferings, and is alert when asked. Nowadays, interpersonal relationships are more and more complicated, and there are more and more unpredictable factors. Modern people are deeply afraid and anxious about this, and urgently need to find a stable force to soothe their unstable mentality. Guan Yu is a comprehensive symbol of current folk beliefs, which can meet the needs of modern society. Before the trial in Thailand, all the staff should stand up and swear to Guan Yu to show their loyalty, and then the relevant procedures can be started. According to American news media reports, nancy reagan campaigned for her husband and made a special trip to San Francisco to beg the gods of Guan Gong, asking his divine power to bless her husband's success in the election. In Taiwan Province Province with a population of 20.4 million, there are 8 million believers and more than 3,000 Guandi temples. The real Guandi Temple is the largest Guandi Temple in Xiezhou, Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, and it is known as the crown of Wu temples.
How did Weichi Gong, the patron saint of China, become a keeper? According to legend, because Li Shimin killed many people in the process of competing for Jiangshan, after he became emperor, he often saw evil spirits fighting in his dreams and often shouted in shock, so he was very scared. On one occasion, he told the ministers about it. Weichi Gong and Qin Qiong, wearing ring armour, guard the palace gate at night. Oddly enough, since they were also guarding the palace gate, Emperor Taizong really stopped having nightmares, but who can guarantee that they won't have nightmares in the future? Emperor Taizong ordered the painter to paint portraits of the two men and hang them on both sides of the palace gate. These portraits are dazzling and unforgettable, and since then, the evil worship has disappeared. Emperor Taizong slept soundly every night, and the two became door gods from then on.
In fact, among the thousands of military commanders produced in China in two thousand years, the people regard them as their backers, and their own interests are also taken into consideration. The so-called Pluto's main duty is to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits and ensure the safety of the whole family. It is very demanding of him, not only to have the ability to be a master, but also to be frank, honest and loyal. Not obsessed with wealth and color, general military commanders are far behind, so they deserve it.
Generals have always been loyal, brave, fair and brave, and have both. However, if you say a strange son, Xue is the first person, a famous star in the Tang Dynasty. Xue led an army to Yunzhou and signed up. The enemy warship was a warrior soldier Xue. He immediately dismounted and bowed down, and then ordered to retreat, which scared off 200,000 Turkish troops. If it is not truthfully recorded in the New Tang Book, people will think that this is a legendary story.
When people mentioned Yang Jiajiang, Yang Ye was the first person to mention it. When enemy soldiers saw the "Yang" flag, they were frightened and often gave up without fighting. At that time, even the three-year-old urchin in Yangye Village was familiar with his fighting deeds. During the eight years of guarding Yanmenguan, the Qidan army never dared to invade. Today, on the Drum Tower in Daixian County, there is a huge plaque with the words "Three passes of sublime" on the front and "Four Famous Articles" on the back, which is a precious relic to commemorate Yang Ye's achievements.
Renjie, the minister of the Tang Dynasty, was a small official when he was young, and was later promoted to the highest judge of the Tang Dynasty. He was an official, and when he was a secretariat in Runan, Henan Province, he bravely saved more than 2,000 people who were going to be executed. These people were later exiled to the frontier, and Di became a secretariat in Ningzhou, which won the hearts of the people and gave him a "monument to good governance". When those exiles passed through Ningzhou, the people of Ningzhou came out to offer their condolences and took them to the monument of Dezheng three days ago. They don't know each other, but they are linked by the good governance of Di Renjie. In the second year of Wu Zetian's reign, Di Renjie was appointed Prime Minister. In 698, when the Turks invaded Jizhong, Wu Zetian immediately sent 450,000 troops, making the prince a marshal and Di Renjie the deputy commander-in-chief. The invading army actually in charge heard that there were troops out. Under the command of Di Renjie, she fled to the north without any resistance. In her later years, Wu Zetian trusted Di Renjie the most. At the palace banquet, Wu Zetian personally raised a glass to Ren Jie. When she met in the main hall, Wu Zetian always told Ren Jie not to bow down. Old and ill, he retired from his hometown many times without approval. In 700 AD, the emperor died, and Wu Zetian was in agony. Abandon the dynasty for three days and chase the emperor as Liang Guogong.
Chen Tingjing is from Yangcheng, Jincheng. He has served as a bachelor of rattan in imperial academy, a bachelor of cabinet, a secretariat in Zuodu, an assistant minister in the official department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and a senior official in the official department of Wenyuange. He was known for his honesty and integrity all his life, and thought that "those who are honest and honest are not greedy." State, government and county officials sponsored by the governor must first find out whether this person is laying off people in the countryside. Therefore, corrupt officials are afraid of him. Chen Tingjing's achievement was that he was ordered by Emperor Kangxi to compile Kangxi Dictionary with another official, Zhang Yushu, and made a contribution to the cultural cause of China.
Yang Shenxiu was born in Yizhang Village, wenxi county. He was a representative of the reformists in the late Qing Dynasty and one of the "six gentlemen" in the Reform Movement of 1898. In April of the 24th year of Guangxu, Emperor Guangxu issued Guo Shizhen's Hundred-Day Reform Period, defending the reformist Chen Baokang. In August, Empress Dowager Cixi staged a coup and the political reform failed. Yang Shenxiu was arrested, but he ran away without hesitation. In the same year, he was imprisoned for "treason".
Kant, a German philosopher, said: Among all the arts, the art of poetry occupies the highest level, and China is the country of poetry. As an exploration of life, China's poems can bring people to a world unknown or unfamiliar to western readers. Poetic Pu Sanjin: Xia Zi, Wei Zifu, Wang Wei, Wang Zhihuan, Wang Changling, Wang Tong, Wang Ji, William Wang, Xue Daoheng, Bai Juyi, Wen, Liu Zongyuan, Sima Guang, Mi Fei, Guan Hanqing, Zheng Guangzu, Bai Pu, Qiao Ji, Fu Shan, Luo Guanzhong, Zhao Shuli and Yuan Yuan.
Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Taiyuan, Shanxi in his later years. Li Shangyin wrote an epitaph for Bai Juyi, calling it "Taibai Building". Bai Juyi was born in poverty and studied hard since childhood. At the age of sixteen, he wrote a poem "Farewell to Ancient Grass", in which the most important two sentences are "The wildfire didn't completely swallow them up, and the spring breeze blew loudly". This poem attracted the attention of contemporary poets, and at the same time showed a kind of greatness.
In fact, the White House is a big family. According to legend, their ancestors made great contributions to the mountains and rivers of the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang made great contributions, but some people in Taiyuan family in Shanxi went too far in their pursuit of future generations. Including the incense of Bai Juyi's generation, it lasted for 700 years. Bai Juyi wrote that "selling charcoal urn" implied a protest against society. As a poet, he contributed to the development of China's poetry. He wrote more than 3,800 poems in his life, which was second to none among the poets in the Tang Dynasty. He initiated the New Yuefu Movement, and what's more, his Song of Eternal Sorrow was unique in the Tang Dynasty, with far-reaching influence and radiant. He wrote a generation of charming Tang Huangming, and through his rich emotions and imagination, he enriched the folklore of Xuanzong and Yang Guifei that people were interested in and became realism and romanticism. Growing together on the earth, two branches of a tree. , the earth lasts forever, and the sky lasts forever; Song of Eternal Sorrow has left a bright pearl for China's poetry, and Pipa Travel is famous all over the world because of its popularity. "But before she came to us, we called it a thousand times, and she hid half of her face behind her guitar. The end of the world is coming at the same time. Why should it be like meeting each other?" It has become a rare masterpiece in the history of music. Don't be sad and hate life, silence is better than sound in this life. Through the tragic experience of the pipa girl wandering in the rivers and lakes, she expressed her helplessness to the officialdom. According to "Looking at Japan", the influence of poets in the Tang Dynasty on Japan was that Bai Juyi was afraid of sin. Song of Eternal Sorrow and Pipa Travel were almost household names in Japan in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, most of Bai Juyi's poems have been changed to music absorption. Song of Eternal Sorrow evolved into Wu Tongyu and Palace of Eternal Life, while Pipa Xing became Blue Eyes. Bai Juyi's Memory of Jiangnan reminds people of his achievements in serving the government and the people. When Hangzhou people made history, his servants packed up the rest of his wages and prepared to take them away. Bai Juyi saw it easily and said, "It's in the national treasury. "Bai Juyi has to go, and Hangzhou people are so sad. They inquired about Bai Juyi's day on the road, and raised their flagons and asked for cakes, waiting for the West Lake to see him off for a long time. After he left Hangzhou, people there have been affectionately calling him "Bai Sheren", and he also built a levee beside the West Lake. People in Hangzhou have always called the original Baisha Dike "Baigong Dike" to commemorate this poet who cares about people's sufferings. Dong Shouping, a master of calligraphy and painting, was born in Ducuo Village, Hongdong County, on February 2004 1904. His great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all literati and celebrities, who were good at poetry, painting and calligraphy. Dong Shi's family has a wide collection of famous calligraphy and painting of past dynasties, with more than 654.38+ 10,000 volumes. His huge paintings are all over Tiananmen Square, the Great Hall of the People, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, many hotels, restaurants and important places. Party and state leaders often give his calligraphy and paintings as national gifts to foreign heads of state, and create the Pine Tree Map for the Great Hall of the People. 6 meters wide and 4 meters high, two people hold ink. It was so huge that he didn't need to draft it, but waved it. It is a rare masterpiece, and it is a famous painter, calligrapher and connoisseur in China at the age of 90 and 60 in China art world. Mr. Dong Shouping and his calligraphy and painting styles, such as "Winter Plum" and "Shou Pingzhu", especially his painting of Huangshan Mountain, have unique styles and magnificent works. Since 1979, Mr. Dong Shouping has been to Japan for 9 times to hold art exhibitions.
Liu Zongyuan, a great master of Tang literature whose ancestral home is Yongji, Shanxi, is known as the "Liu Hedong", which embodies a peak building of China literature, and the flowing Yellow River has cultivated his feelings and ambitions; The thick yellow land has created a cultural personality. His articles, such as Feudalism and Snake Catcher, are gloomy and resentful, leaving deep sympathy for the poor people.
Sima Guang, a politician and historian in the Northern Song Dynasty, was born in Xia County, Shanxi Province. His name came from this: when he was born, his father Sima Chi was the county magistrate of Guangshan County in Gwangju, so he named her "Guang". Everyone knows the story of Sima Guang smashing a jar. He was brilliant since he was a child. He compiled China's first chronological history book Zi Tongzhi Jian, which was 394 volumes long.
Born in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Mr. Fu Shan is a man full of wonderful colors. On the profound Fu Shan, it can be said that he is proficient in calligraphy and painting, poetry, medical ethics, boxing and literary theory, and his profound attainments are extremely rare among his contemporaries. Mr. Liang Qichao once commented: "Fu Shan's knowledge, no one can be like a trunk north of the Yellow River". The most vivid description of Fu Shan by predecessors is that "words are not as good as poetry, poetry is not as good as painting, painting is not as good as medicine, medicine is not as good as learning, and learning is not as good as people".
Although "words are not as good as poems", Fu Shan's calligraphy works are verbatim. Although poetry is not as good as painting, Fu Shan's paintings are also very individual. His thoughts are free in his chest and his wrists are full of fun. As an immigrant in the Ming Dynasty, he expressed his grief and indignation with paintings, and expressed his feelings with wild forests, dangerous beaches, strange rocks against the night and moonlight, which made literati paintings appear in China painting circles with brand-new vitality. His representative works include Red Leaves Rising and Four Scenes of Yangquan. Fu Shan, a generation of famous doctors, is not as good as Xue, but he is well-known in the medical field for his exquisite gynecological masterpiece "Fu Qingzhu Gynecology", which is still valued by people. Although not as good as Fu Shan, he is as famous as Huang Zongxi, Gu, Wang Fuzhi, Yan Yuan and others in philosophy, and is known as the "six masters in the early Qing Dynasty".
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Water Margin, Jin Ping Mei and A Dream of Red Mansions written by Luo Guanzhong, a native of Qing Xu in Taiyuan, became the Four Great Classical Novels of China's classical novels. The authors of the first three novels were all from Shanxi, and their works involved the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Historical Romance of the Tang Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Can be called "experts in troubled times literature." According to legend, when Luo Guanzhong wrote an "empty city plan" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was another story, Ma Su Street Pavilion. Sima Yi led an army to kill Xicheng. At this time, there were only a dozen civil servants in the city, and there were more than 2,000 old and weak teams. Zhuge Liang knew that he had been defeated and decided to abandon the city and flee. Writing here, he felt that he couldn't write Kong Ming's resourcefulness, but he didn't have a good idea at the moment. It happened that Luo Guanzhong won a small mountain village in one fell swoop, and a news village hired a troupe to sing for more than ten days. Villager Wang Dadan and his family are opera fans at night. Wang boldly used his quick wits to let his wife open the door, and a red candle lit up in the hall. The thief thought that someone in the room was afraid to steal, so the family went to the theatre with joy. On the first night, all the families in the village were stolen, but Wang boldly left the door open. He thought it was a wonderful plan and acted on it the next day. Although the thief was puzzled, he didn't go in. On the third night, the thief turned around. Shouting at the door: "Fire!" Even if no one responded several times, they boldly entered the door and swept away clothes and finance. After watching the play, Wang Dadan's family saw someone leaving with a bag on their way home. They couldn't help but proudly say to their wife, Maybe it's a thief, and I don't know which one they stole tonight! When I got home, I was really blindsided. I immediately cried and never left people again. Hearing this, Luo Guanzhong was amused at first, but then he thought that Sima Yi was afraid to go to town, so I could buy time to transfer troops. Isn't it the best of both worlds? Later, Luo Guanzhong really wrote a chapter "Zhuge Liang governs Sima Yan's legs", and perhaps it was inspired by this story that he wrote the empty city plan so brilliantly.
During the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, there was a complete collection of Tang poems, which was the largest collection of poems in China. There are more than 2,300 recorded poets in the Tang Dynasty, including 758 poets with tangible origins, 82 of whom are from Shanxi. Among these 48,900 poems, there are more than 2,000 poems by Bai Juyi alone, and Shanxi in the Tang Dynasty was really called "Poetry Jin".
Wangtong, a native of Hejin, Shanxi Province, was a famous scholar at the end of Sui Dynasty and the grandfather of Wang Bo, one of the "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty". History books call him a "famous Confucian". He likes reading since he was a child, and his study spirit is very hard and he has made great achievements. Because of his lack of talent, he returned to his hometown Hedong to teach and educate people. At that time, thousands of disciples came to his door for advice, including Fang, Zhou and others in the early Tang Dynasty. For this reason, later generations gave him a high evaluation. Saint Amethyst compared Wang Tong with Confucius and labor and capital, and some ancient books also said that it was precisely because Wang Tong gave lectures to famous leaders in the early Tang Dynasty such as Wei Zhi and Fang Lingxuan that it finally laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Li Tang Dynasty in the next 300 years.
In the early years, Wang Tong's people, with their own backbone, declined the invitation of Wendi and Yang Di several times after returning home, but refused to come out as an official. In the Tang dynasty, they still insisted on literature, regardless of official career. One year, Emperor Taizong and Prime Minister Fang and others went to the garden to enjoy flowers. Suddenly, there was a big bird with wings like wheels and bright feathers. It was not afraid of people and landed on a small flower branch. He asked around: "What's the significance of the arrival of the big bird?" None of the generals around him could answer. Later, Fang wrote a letter to wangtong, a native of Shanxi, and asked his teacher for advice. Wang Tong replied, "This bird is not afraid of people. It symbolizes peace and is an auspicious sign." . After reporting to Emperor Taizong, Emperor Taizong thought this explanation was very reasonable, so he asked Fang how did you know? Fang truthfully replied, "My teacher taught me", so Emperor Taizong wanted to meet this learned gentleman. However, when Fang passed the imperial edict to Wang Tong, he never went to see Taizong again. Nowadays, some cultural relics related to Wang Tong's family can still be found near Hejin and Tonghua Village. The village name "Tonghua" was named after wangtong. It is said that behind Wangtong Temple, a group of thieves stripped Wangtong's tomb to cover up their ugly traces. There are rumors everywhere that "there is nothing in Wang Tong's tomb, even the body and treasure have magically ascended to heaven". People believe it, and there are rumors that "Wang Tonghua has ascended to heaven." Later, as a pride, the village was renamed "Tonghua".
Wang Tong's younger brother, the poet Wang Ji, participated in the creation of Sui Shu, creating a healthy atmosphere of Tang poetry. China's largest series of books, Siku Quanshu, gave him a very strong book, Overestimation of Artistic Conception. Wang Ji has almost become the only poet who enjoys this special reputation from the circle of Tang poetry.
Wang Bo, a native of Hejin, Shanxi Province, is known as "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty" and "young genius". He is the grandson of the famous Confucian scholar Wang Tong and the nephew of the poet Wang Ji. He spent most of his childhood in his hometown. Enlightened by the inheritance of his ancestors, he was brilliant at an early age. In his twenties, he made an immortal preface to Wang Teng Pavilion, which shocked China in public. Among them, the most famous two sentences are "Sunset and Lonely Qi Fei, Autumn waters * * * sky is one color". Wang Tengting is located at the edge of Ganjiang City, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, and is also known as the "Three Famous Buildings in the South of the Yangtze River" with Yueyang Tower and Yellow Crane Tower. Speaking of Wang Teng Pavilion, there is another story. It turned out that Wang Tengting was built by Li Yuan, the younger brother of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, when he was the governor of Nanchang. Later, Yan became the governor-general. After the museum was rebuilt, on September 9, Governor Yan hosted a banquet in the museum to entertain the city's dignitaries and literary talents to show the talent of his son-in-law Wu. Therefore, in the evening, the Governor has asked his son-in-law to write a preface to the Wang Teng Pavilion and remember it so that he can improvise at the banquet the next morning.
At that time, after Wang Bo was invited to visit relatives in the south, he took a boat to Nanchang overnight and attended a banquet hosted by Yan DuDu. After saving three rounds of banquet, Yan Dudu was polite for several times, and asked the guests to write an impromptu composition on the spot. The topic "Preface to Wang Tengting" was the cause in everyone's mind, so he refused. Only Wang was arrogant and rude, and wrote poems on the spot. At first glance, it's hard to say. His heart is very special. After listening to the first few words, the Governor said that it was just a cliche, but when he heard: "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters and sky are the same." At this moment, he suddenly marveled, turned anger into joy, and marveled that "the quip is really a genius", so Wang Bo's reputation was greatly enhanced, and the preface to Wang Teng-ting was immortalized.
In this yellow land of Shanxi, a group of famous poets represented by Wang appeared, and their works were constantly staged in the theater, which became an interesting phenomenon in the poetry circle of Tang Dynasty. Frontier fortress written by frontier fortress poet Wang Changling, "The moon was bright in Qin Dynasty, and he was a Long March man." But Longcheng can fly, not called Humadu Yinshan. "Meaning is thought-provoking, as the saying goes: endless words, endless meaning. One day, three poets, Wang Changling, Wang Zhihuan and Gao Shi, went to Qiting for drinking and borrowed Bo Xue to write poems. The three agreed that whoever sings more on the stone tablet will be the winner. The existing two female singers turned out to be Wang Changling and Gao Shi. They proudly wrote a line on the wall of the flag pavilion. Until the third female singer, still singing Wang Changling's quatrains, she happily drew a line on the wall. At this time, Wang Zhihuan was a little worried. What she just sang was Xialiba's song. How dare they touch Chun Xue's content? Speaking of this, the most beautiful singer said, "If he doesn't sing my poem, I will never compete with you again in my life, but he will sing my poem." So, I'm sorry, you two have to kneel in front of my bed and treat me honestly as a teacher. " All three of them laughed. When it was the turn of the most beautiful singer, he really sang Wang Zhihuan's Liangzhou Ci. Why does the flute complain about the willow, but the spring breeze is only Yumenguan? "After that, Wang Zhihuan will circle the roads drawn by two poets and prove that he is the best. This is the story of "painting a wall and hanging a flag pavilion" recorded in the history books.
