Hanchuang studied hard and wanted to benefit the people and honor his ancestors, but in reality what greeted them was that they were demoted, demoted, and left Beijing.
This is because the officialdom is getting smaller and smaller, there are more and more talented poets, and there are more works that have been passed down through the ages. All kinds of bitterness can only be expressed through words.
Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou and wrote " Eight Notes of Yongzhou " for ten years; Bai Juyi was demoted to Jiangzhou Sima and wrote "Pipa Xing"; Su Shi was demoted countless times. There is a poem that says: Asking about your life achievements, Huangzhou Huizhou Danzhou.

01 Liu Zongyuan
Liu Zongyuan was one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. After the failure of Yongzhen's reform , Liu Zongyuan was demoted to the governor of Shaozhou. On the way to Shaozhou for his appointment, Liu Zongyuan was demoted to the Sima of Yongzhou, which can be said to be a demotion. Add or derogate. (The remaining seven members of Wang Shuwen's political group were also demoted to Yuanzhou Sima, later known as the "Two Kings and Eight Sima") Half a year after taking office, his mother died of illness.
Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Yongzhou for ten years. It can be said that he spent half of his life in Yongzhou. Liu Zongyuan devoted himself to studying knowledge in these ten years and wrote many famous works, including "Eight Notes of Yongzhou" and "The Complete Works of Liu Hedong". Yongzhou witnessed the growth of a poet, but it was indeed a huge stain on his political career.
In the tenth year of Yuanhe, Liu Zongyuan received an edict asking him to return to Beijing immediately. He wanted to show off his grand plans, but the incumbent opened another one. It’s a joke. In the same year, Liu Zongyuan was not reused and was demoted to Liuzhou . This time there was no chance. Four years later, Xianzong implemented an amnesty and summoned Liu Zongyuan back to Beijing.

Bai Juyi was slandered many times in his life, and each time it started with the most unfortunate consequences.
Although Bai Juyi's mother died after falling into a well while watching flowers, Bai Juyi had already composed many poems about flowers, which were considered harmful to Mingjiao and was demoted as Jiangzhou . This incident was never considered such a crime at any time. Viewed from a historical perspective, the main reason should be that he offended those in power by writing satirical works.
Being demoted to Jiangzhou was a turning point in Bai Juyi's life, from "contributing to the world" to "taking care of himself". Although I still care about the people, I no longer have the enthusiasm I had when I was a teenager. I feel so sad that in the end it was Datang that failed Bai Juyi. Finally, I have to mention that " Pipa Xing " and " Song of Everlasting Sorrow " are Bai Juyi's most successful works.

year old Su Shi, who was sixty-two years old, was sent by a lone boat to Danzhou, Hainan Island, a desolate place on the edge of the sea. In the Song Dynasty, banishment to Hainan was a punishment only slightly lighter than the crime of being raped and beheaded. He regards Danzhou as his second hometown, "I am a Dan'er family, parasitic in Western Shuzhou."
Su Shi said in the poem "Self-titled Portrait of Jinshan" that "the heart is like a gray tree, and the body is like a boat without ties. Ask you about your life achievements, Huangzhou Hui Danzhou.
