On this day, news came from the court that good friend Li Cheng was promoted to prime minister, which was very good news for Liu Yuxi . If it were ten years ago, Liu Yuxi would have written a letter to congratulate him immediately, and would also express some tactful meanings of hope for help and support. However, at this time, Liu Yuxi was over the age of knowing destiny and was much less concerned about many things.
Liu Yuxi was happy for his good friends on the one hand, and at the same time he felt a little emotional about his lack of appreciation for his talent. Looking back on the past, he and Liu Zongyuan were both inspectors and censors, Li Jiang and Li Cheng were both promoted to prime ministers. Although Han Yu had been demoted before, he had returned to the court in the past two years since Muzong ascended the throne and served as the Minister of War and Minister of Personnel, second only to the Prime Minister. Only he and Liu Zongyuan have been wandering outside.
There are many things in the world. When you seek it carefully, you often don’t get them. When you were indifferent to fame and fortune and focused on doing the current things well, many things would come naturally. Three months later, the imperial court sent an edict, appointing Liu Yuxi as the governor of Hezhou (now He County, Anhui).
This edict came a bit unexpectedly because the term of office has not yet arrived. Besides, Hezhou is Shangzhou, not far from the eastern capital Luoyang, which is obviously a kind of promotion. Liu Yuxi thought about it carefully and it must be his good friend Li Cheng who helped him.
When officials and the people knew that Liu Yuxi was going to be transferred from Kuizhou, everyone felt very sorry and reluctant to leave. On the day of leaving, everyone spontaneously went to the streets and rushed to the dock to see off this parent-official who was dedicated to the people. Liu Yuxi was very moved when he saw such a spectacular scene for the first time. He had just done his part, but was so loved by the people. He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
The boat started slowly. Looking at such a spectacular scene, Liu Yuxi wrote "Farewell to the Officials of Kuizhou": "In the three years, the Chu State guarded the city of Bacheng, and once went to Yangzijin, Yangzhou. The green tent couplet extended the noisy post-straight, and the white head was leaning down to the riverside. Wushan The dusk was always rainy, and the water in the gorge was not afraid of people. There were only nine lyrics, and there were several songs, and the barbarian gods were left in the middle."
The boat left Baidi City , and went east along the river, which made Liu Yuxi think of Li Bai 's " Leave Baidi in the morning and colorful clouds , and return thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day." Three days later, I passed by Jiangling, stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the green mountains on both sides, and recalled the changes in history, Liu Yuxi couldn't help but recite " from Jiangling along the flow path": "Three thousand and three hundred waters in the West River, since ancient times, there are fishermen on the moonlit night songs, and the weather is a merchant. The benefits of sand village are often met with temples, and when the mountain leaves are red, they feel better than spring. When you go to the battle site of the Southern Dynasty , all famous generals have been gods since ancient times."
A few days later, I passed by Yueyang . Liu Yuxi sat at the bow of the boat, admiring the bright moon and stars above his head. On one side was the endless surging river water and the rippling lake water. Suddenly, he recited this song " Looking at Dongting ":
Dongting: The name of the lake is in the northern part of today's Hunan Province.
Lake light: wave light on the lake surface. Two: refers to the lake light and autumn moon. Harmony: Harmony. It refers to the color of water and moonlight.
tan surface: refers to the lake surface. Mirror not grinding: The mirrors of the ancients were made of copper. This sentence means that the lake is windless and is as horizontal as a mirror; the other is that the scenery in the lake is vaguely unclear, just like the mirror is not polished.
Landscape and water: one is called "landscape and water color". Mountain refers to Junshan in Dongting Lake.
Silver plate: describes the calm and clear surface of Dongting Lake. Silver is also called "white cloud". Qingshu: This is used to describe Junshan in Dongting Lake.
vernacular translation
Moonlight and water colors on Dongting Lake merge, and the lake surface is calm like an unmilled copper mirror. Looking from a distance, Dongting Lake is as lush as ink, like a green snail in a silver plate.
The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wash away all the heroes, and the right and wrong, success and failure turn into nothing. Follow the next episode: Nostalgia by the side of Xise Mountain. See you tomorrow.
