Wang Bo, the author of the preface to Wang Tengting, the first parallel prose in history, drowned at the age of 27, which made the world feel sorry. There was also a brilliant poet in the Tang Dynasty, Rainbow Bo, whose brilliant life ended at the age of 27. He is Li He. If Li Bai and Du Fu became the "Gemini" in the literary world of Tang Dynasty, then Wang Bo and Li He are undoubtedly two meteors in the cultural sky: stunning but fleeting.

0 1

In 790 AD, a baby boy was born in Yiyang, Henan Province, a declining family of descendants of Tangmen. His father Li Jinsu happily named him "He" and taught him carefully.

Li He lived up to his father's teaching and expectations. At the age of seven, he wrote excellent poems, which amazed others and made him famous in the capital. It can be said that his whole boyhood was spent in the spotlight.

The family is ruined, the family is poor, the descendants of the imperial clan, and the young talents are high. This kind of reality and contradictory characteristics coexist in Li He. Therefore, from childhood, or even earlier, Li He had the belief and determination to recover the lintel. Li He is serious about the glory of the Guangfu family in the past. When he was a child, he studied poetry books hard, and when he grew up, he actively sought to be an official. He always tries to accumulate himself.

He has determination, ambition, perseverance and talent. No matter how you look at it, he thinks that the life of the talented Li He should be an inspirational idol drama successfully countered by a difficult son of a tribe, but idol drama has an important premise, that is, the hero must be handsome.

The first tragedy of Li He's life is that he is too ugly and weird. In Biography of Li Changji, Li Shangyin recorded Li He's appearance as "eyebrows", "big nose" and "long fingers and long claws". In other words, Li He's nose is very big and his eyebrows are connected. The weirdest thing is that his fingers are thin and long.

It doesn't matter, if he is tall and burly, these are nothing. But the reality is cruel. He is not only short, but also "thin".

The second tragedy of Li He's life is his poor health. His handwriting is enough to prove that his health is really not very good. Li He is long and auspicious. Long-term success is nothing more than expecting him to be well and healthy.

We often say that health is the "1" in front of life savings, and wealth, health and honor are the "0" behind. How much wealth a person has in his life lies not in how many zeros he has, but in whether there are "1" in front of him. For Li He, his life is facing the dilemma of "1".

The above two tragedies have created Li He's third life tragedy. A young man with high talent but weak body, born in the royal family but with declining family background, is widely sought after but looks ugly, all these characteristics make Li He form an extremely sensitive and precocious character.

Poets can be "crazy", and "crazy" is unintentional, but happy. However, when the poet is extremely sensitive, his inner world is too subtle, high and low, but he suffers greatly.

The fourth tragedy of Li He's life is that he is highly jealous. As a teenager, Li He became famous in Beijing and was praised by Han Yu, a literary giant. How can this not make people jealous?

Li He's father's name is Li Jinsu, and the word "Jin" is homophonic with the word "Jin", and the word "Su" is homophonic with the word "Shi". So many villains jealous of his talent attacked him and said: Your father's homophonic name is Li Jinshi, so you should avoid your father's name to show respect, so you can't take the imperial examination. If you win the Jinshi, it will be a collision with your father's taboo. In this way, Li He, who is so talented, lost the opportunity of scientific research for this absurd reason.

The fifth tragedy of Li He's life is his untimely birth. In the Tang Dynasty, ordinary scholars wanted to embark on their official career and realize their ideals and ambitions. There are roughly the following ways: being watched by senior officials, recommended by powerful ministers, admitted to the imperial examination, and joined the army.

High curtain? It's impossible. Li He's family has been ruined for a long time, and his livelihood has become a problem. Where can he allude to his children and grandchildren?

Imperial examination? This road is also impassable. As I said before, I was disqualified because the word "Jinshi" violated my father's taboo.

Join the army? Not to mention. Li He's health is too poor, not to mention that he can't stand the cold of the frontier fortress, and even martial arts is probably a problem.

Recommended by a powerful minister? It seems that only this one can try. However, due to the premature decline of the family, the Li family really could not attach themselves to the dignitaries as their agents. Even Han Yu, who appreciated Li He at that time, was far from being a minister with real power. Even if Han Yu cherishes talents and introduces him, the position he can get can't support his ambition to revive his family. The same is true: Li He, on the recommendation of Han Yu, only became a junior official with nine grades.

In the face of such a frustrated life, Li He, who is withdrawn, has no way to talk to others. He can only devote himself to creation. Riding a donkey to find poetry is a bitter habit, and he regards poetry as his life. In his short life of 27 years, he wrote more than 240 poems, which was not in vain.

Among the many poets in the Tang Dynasty, there are only a handful of unique names. Li Bai is known as "Poet Fairy", Wang Wei as "Shi Fo", Du Fu as "Poet Saint", Liu Yuxi as "Poet Hero", Jia Dao as "Poet Prisoner" and Li Hesu as "Shi Gui".

A word "ghost" can break Li He's ups and downs, and can also reveal Shi Li's adventure and strangeness.

The depressed reality makes Li He lack a profound and rational understanding of society, and the cruel life experience makes him have an escape mentality, which makes Li He's poems full of fantasy and sadness.

At the same time, influenced by his own personality, Li's poems have a unique sense of loneliness and steepness.

Open Li He's poems, and you will find a strange world full of strange imagination and cold Leng Yan.

In Li's poems, there are not only the emotional works of "why don't people take 50 states of Guanshan", but also the pain of life of "I am in the prime of my life and cry with white hair", the realistic pain of "I am not proud at twenty, and I am worried like a withered orchid", and the sadness of youth of "Love is the death of youth, and peach blossoms fall like red rain". But what I like best is his fantastic imagination in Li Ping's poems.

Music is an auditory art, which belongs to the listener and is abstract. How to record gorgeous and extraordinary music and let readers experience the shocking rhythm and aesthetic feeling not only tests the poet's pen power, but also tests the poet's imagination and sensibility.

When describing music, Li He is not limited to the music itself, but gallops in his own imagination. Through bold imagination and rich association, he perfectly conveyed the thrilling artistic power of music.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that this song "Elegant of Li Ping" can be called "full of sound and emotion" with Bai Juyi's "Pipa Trip" and Han Yu's "Listening to Shi Ying Play the Piano".

As the saying goes, "success is also Xiao He, failure is also Xiao He" means "success is also strange, failure is also strange" for Li He. Li He's poetic style is ignorant and pursues absurd imagination, which leads to his poems being obscure.

Later generations commented on his poems and said, "The content of Li's poems is too narrow and his mood is too low. The pursuit of strangeness will inevitably lead to mystery and terror. "

Chorus, Divine Comedy [Tang Lihe] The Western Hills are not faint, and the whirlwind blows horses and chariots. The string-pulling sound is shallow, and the flower skirt steps on the autumn dust. The laurel leaves brush the wind and the moon, and the green raccoon cries blood and the fox dies. The ancient wall is decorated with gold, and the rain worker rides into the autumn pool. A hundred-year-old owl becomes a wooden symbol and laughs in the fire nest.

Poetry is like a person! Li He's poems finally became gloomy and horrible, and Li He finally died of depression.

Now when it comes to Li He, there is nothing but appreciation and sigh.

It is said that at the end of Li He's life, he saw a man in a scarlet coat and driving a red car descending from the sky and said to him, "Now the white jade building is being built in the sky, which is very beautiful. I heard that your poems are very good. God wants you to write a story about Baiyulou. Please come with me. "

A generation of "Shi Gui" Li He passed away in this legendary way.
