Everyone is familiar with "Man Jiang Hong·Angry Crown". This poem was written by Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty. This view is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even written into the high school Chinese textbook. In fact, behind this seemingly objective fact, there are many doubts. Many people suspect that the author of this poem is someone else.
The famous scholar Mr. Xia Chengtao believes that "Man Jiang Hong" is a fake work of the Ming Dynasty, and even directly said that the author is the famous general and poet Wang Yue in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. During the Hongzhi period, Wang Yue added the Prince Taibao, who controlled Gan and Liangbian and served as the governor, and also controlled the two towns of Yan and Ning. He repelled the Tatar attack in Helan. Mr. Xia wrote an article "A Study of Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong" Ci" in the 1960s. The article pointed out that "driving a long car to cross the Helan Mountain fault", Helan Mountain belongs to Xixia, and Yue Fei's attack on the gold is to directly attack the Huanglong Mansion. Huanglong Mansion is in today's Jilin. The description in the words obviously violates historical common sense. After some research, the article finally concluded that the Ming Dynasty general Wang Yue, the author of "Man Jiang Hong", was, if not, his shogunate scribe.
Actually, Mr. Xia Chengtao was not the first person to point out the flaws in "Man Jiang Hong". There were questions before and after him. The late modern scholar Yu Jiaxi took the lead in uttering different voices in "The Dialectics of the Four Databases". Sun Shuyu, a Taiwanese scholar, further argues in "Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong" A Literary Questioning".
From a comprehensive point of view, in addition to Helan Mountain, the doubts are mainly concentrated in the following points:
One is the "Yue Wang Family Collection" compiled by Yue Fei's son Yue Lin and grandson Yue Ke Many of Yue Fei’s poems are included in the book, but "Man Jiang Hong" is not alone. Even if it was revised later, it was not mentioned. This is obviously unreasonable.
The second is that the tone of the whole poem "Man Jiang Hong" is passionate and generous. It is completely different from Yue Fei's other poem "Xiaozhongshan" in style. It is impossible for a person to have such a different style.
The third is that the ancients wrote poems and lyrics, and they used to express their emotions with the deeds and allusions of their predecessors. However, "Man Jiang Hong" has the words "Thirty Fame and Dust and Soil, Eight Thousand Miles of Road, Cloud and Moon". It is Yue Fei's deeds. The author's use of his own deeds as an allusion is also counterintuitive.
However, the above is only speculation, and it remains at the level of doubt. There are different voices when there is existence, and the questioning itself will also attract different voices. More scholars have given reasonable explanations to the questions raised by Xia Chengtao and others.
One is that Helan Mountain does not need to be definite, but it is used to refer to Huanglong Mansion in general, which is very common in poems;
The second is Yue Fei entered the dynasty from Jiujiang Fengzhao at the age of 30. Thousands of miles." Looking back on my own struggle, it is also very common in poetry creation;
Third is that the two poems in history have very different styles, but there are many cases of the same author, and it is not Yue Fei who cannot overthrow the author. fact.
From a comprehensive point of view, the author of "Man Jiang Hong" in the academic circle is Yue Fei's point of view is the mainstream, and those who believe that it is a forgery by later generations are the minority. When there is doubt, there will be discussion. Only when there is discussion, we can do in-depth research, so that we can never dig out the truth from the side and angle. This is a good thing in itself.
However, before any controversy is inconclusive, the author still prefers that the author of "Man Jiang Hong" is Yue Fei. After all, Yue Fei's experience and aura are so compatible with the artistic conception of this poem.
