The Origin of the Eight Immortals
As we all know, Du Fu had a rough life and left a large number of works of blood and tears describing suffering. This song "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" is a rare and elegant masterpiece of Du Shi. Du Fu lived through the three dynasties of Xuanzong, Suzong, and Daizong, and was known as the "remnant of the three dynasties." Academic circles generally divide his life into four stages: the period of studying and official travel (before the age of thirty-five); the period of being trapped in Chang'an for ten years ( Thirty-five to forty-four years old); the period of being trapped in a thief and becoming an official (forty-five to forty-eight years old); the period of abandoning officialdom and subsequent wandering (forty-eight to fifty-nine years old). When Du Fu first entered Chang'an, he was full of ideals and frivolous. He happened to meet Li Bai and other talented and arrogant people, so he composed this song "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" with reverence and a semi-joking and semi-realistic style.
This poem describes the drunken state of the "Eight Immortals who drank" in Chang'an City at that time. There are two sentences of Zhizhang, three sentences of Ruyang, three sentences of Zuoxiang, three sentences of Zongzhi, two sentences of Su Jin, and Li Bai Four sentences, three sentences by Zhang Xu, two sentences by Jiao Sui, and a few strokes, each showing fairy meaning.
Characteristics of the Eight Immortals
He Zhizhang
Called himself "Si Ming Kuang Ke", he has a wild temperament and is dissolute in his later years. Since he is from Zhejiang, he is good at riding He was not good at riding a boat, and his eyes were blurry after being drunk. He staggered all the way and fell into the well. What is surprising is that he was able to sleep at the bottom of the well as if nothing had happened.
Ruyang King Li Jing
Ruyang King Li Jing is the direct grandson of Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest son of Emperor Rang Li Xian, and the nephew of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Jing had beautiful eyebrows and was deeply loved by the emperor. His drinking capacity was astonishing, and he went to see the emperor after buying three measures of wine. As a result, he was drunk at the emperor's feet and could not move. On the road, I saw a car containing distiller's yeast, and I still shouted with enthusiasm that I wanted to move the fiefdom to Jiuquan.
Li Shizhi
Qinghe County Duke Li Shizhi is the great-grandson of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the grandson of Li Chengqian, the deposed prince and king of Hengshan. Li Shizhi, the left minister, was an upright man and very hospitable. He spent a lot of money on drinking with guests every day. He was not messy after drinking and could still compose poems. One day, after he drank a large jar of wine, he looked up to the sky and roared, saying: "I'm going to stop being Prime Minister for the first time, and I will hold a cup for the saints. I want to ask the guests at the door, how many of them are here today?" It turned out that because of his outspoken character, he offended Li Linfu, the powerful prime minister, was dismissed from his position. Although the former guests knew that he was innocent, due to Li Linfu's power, they did not dare to go to the hotel to drink again, so they were left empty-handed. That day, he drank to his heart's content and felt the darkness of the officialdom, so he casually recited this poem. Unexpectedly, it eventually led to his death.
Cui Zongzhi
Cui Zongzhi is the son of Cui Riyong, Duke of Qi. Not only does he have a beautiful appearance, but his temperament is also like that of the scholars of Wei and Jin Dynasties, and he is arrogant and jealous of others. He likes to imitate Ruan Ji. When he is drunk, when he sees vulgar people, regardless of their status, he will look at them with blank eyes, and then look left and right to look at the sky.
Su Jin
Su Jin, the minister of household affairs, likes to study the art of pagoda, study Buddhist scriptures, fast and eat vegetarian food, and is greedy for drinking and drinking, often violating the precepts. He once got a Buddhist scripture written by the eminent Western monk Huicheng Xiu. After reading it, he murmured to himself: "This monk likes to drink rice soup, which suits my temperament. I will study his Buddhist principles from now on. I don't want to read other Buddhist books." ”
Li Bai
The imperial scholar Li Bai was good at composing poetry, and when he had wine, he had to write poems. After spending all his money in the market of Chang’an, he shook his head and wrote, Then he fell into a deep sleep. Once, Xuanzong was sitting in the Agarwood Pavilion with Concubine Yang Guifei. He felt something about it and ordered someone to summon him to compose poems. He was half drunk and motionless, claiming to be a wine fairy. After being forced to come to the emperor, he still had more to say. The emperor ordered someone to pour cold water on his face and serve him with pen and ink. After a while, a famous poem was born. This is the famous "Qing Ping Diao Ci" "Three Poems":
The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze is blowing the threshold, and the dew is strong. If we hadn't seen him at the top of Qunyu Mountain, he would have met at Yaotai under the moon.
A stick of red dew is fragrant, and the clouds and rain in Wushan are in vain. May I ask who is similar to the Han Palace? Poor Feiyan Yi's new clothes.
Famous beauties are in love with each other, and the king often laughs at them. Explaining the infinite hatred of the spring breeze, the Agarwood Pavilion leans on the railing in the north.
Zhang Xu
Zhang Xu is a master of Kuangcao, and he is also addicted to alcohol. People call him "Zhang Dian" because he always gets out of control every time he gets drunk: only I saw him shouting and running wildly, shouting: "Bring up the ink!" He said it too late, but then he quickly plunged into the ink tank. When he came out, he was unrecognizable. He screamed three or five times, and his "head" moved like a dragon or a snake. A huge magic pen was blazing on the paper, and it was babbling indistinctly. In an instant, a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation was born.
Jiao Sui
Jiao Sui has a stutter, but the strange thing is that every time he is drunk, he is eloquent, polite and eloquent, as if he is in a deserted place. , which stunned the guests present.
