Tan Sitong, as a tragic figure at the end of the era, is highly praised for his talent and courage. In particular, his desperate poem "The Wall in Prison", the sentence "I smile from the sword to the sky, and leave the two Kunluns" is absolutely everyone's style. As soon as it came out of prison, it immediately became well known. However, there has always been a point that future generations cannot solve, that is, who are the "two Kunluns" in "Going to Leave the Two Kunluns"?
Are the "two Kunluns" in "Going to Liver and Gallbladder Two Kunluns" the five of Kang Youwei and Dadao Wang?
Tan Sitong's desperate poem was once suspected by the outside world and thought it was not its original work, but this matter has already been concluded. It is the final voice that Tan Sitong made as the country is dead. And the "two Kunluns" in the phrase "to leave the liver and gallbladder" in the poem never really defined which two people, because there are too many related statements.
One of them is what people think of Kang Youwei and Dadao Wangwu. In fact, they think that "two Kunluns" are the majority of this combination. Why do you have such a view can be said from the relationship between Kang Youwei and Wang Wu and Tan Sitong Up.
First of all, although Wang Wu of Broadsword was a figure in the arena at the time, he had a mentor and apprenticeship with Tan Sitong. Tan Sitong had studied swordsmanship under Wang Wumen. The so-called one day as a teacher and life as a father, it can be understood that Tan Sitong respects Wang Wu very much, and at the same time definitely agrees with him, otherwise, with Tan Sitong's straightforward personality, he would not learn swords from Wang Wu.
Secondly, although Wang Wu is a member of the world, he is very focused on general ethics and is also very concerned about national affairs. Therefore, when Guangxu was imprisoned, Tan Sitong approached him to rescue Guangxu. Of course, Wang Wu agreed, but the rescue was not successful, but this approach was enough for Tan Sitong to approve.
In addition, after Tan Sitong was arrested, he had already made up his mind. As a soldier, he thought about the result of giving up his life for the country. However, the country still needs to be saved. He still has hope and expectation, and this hope and expectation lies in Wang Wu and Kang Youwei. Back then, Liang Qichao said in "The Poetry of Drinking Ice Room": "The so-called two Kunlun people, one is the guide sea (Kang Youwei), and the other is the king of knights and swords."
Of course, the other "Kunlun" need not be said. Naturally Kang Youwei. It should be said that the source of this statement began with Liang Qichao, and for one of them, Kang Youwei of Kunlun, it is not just Liang Qichao who knows it like this. For example, there is such an analysis in "Selected Poems of Modern Times" that the "two Kunlun Mountains" should be interpreted as Kang Youwei and Tan Sitong. It can be seen that Kang Youwei is one of Kunlun is established in most people's cognition.
However, the academic circles believe that the real "two Kunluns" should be Wang Wu and Shizhong Ji
. In fact, different people have different views on Tan Sitong's phrase "Leaving the Liver and Gallbladder Two Kunluns". This is the same as mentioned above. Some people think that it is Kang Youwei and Wang Wu, while others think that it is Tan Sitong and Kang Youwei.
However, some people make inferences based on the meaning of the word. They think that the "two Kunlun" should refer to the five kings of the sword and Shi Zhongji. Why is this again? May wish to also understand the meaning of the word "Kunlun". What is
"Kunlun"? This word comes from the "Book of Songs", which means slave. In the Tang Dynasty, Pei Yan once wrote the book "Legend", one of which was "Kunlun Slave". Therefore, the poetry school represented by Kong Xiangji believes that Tan Sitong's "Two Kunluns" should refer to his friends who can die together. Therefore, they should be the fifth king of swordsman and Shi Zhongji.
Wang Wu has said before, and Tan Sitong naturally has a very deep friendship, and it is definitely a friendship of life and death. And who is Shi Zhongji? He is a close friend of Tan Sitong. He was born in Liuyang, Hunan. He was a fellow with Tan Sitong and used to be an official under Tan Sitong's father.
can be seen in this way, Shi Zhongji Yu Tan Sitong said, has a "servant" predecessor. But at the same time, Shi Jizhong and Tan Sitong were friends. When Tan Sitong went to see Yuan Shikai, he said: "I hired dozens of heroes and called Hunan to recruit many people..."
Of course, the heroes refer to the fifth class of Wang, and who is the hero? Look at Tan Sitong's "parallel power to Hunan", isn't Shi Zhongji from Hunan? This naturally refers to Shi Zhongji and others. In this way, Jiang Shi Zhongji believes that one of the "two Kunluns" has some truth.
The outside world has its own opinion that the "two Kunluns" should be Wang Wu and Hu Qi. Refers to the knights and martial arts masters in the arena. Therefore, they think that these "two Kunluns" are none other than Dadao Wangwu and Hu Qi. The photogenic rate of
Wang Wu is really high, and I feel that no kind of opinion can get behind him. This allows us to draw a conclusion that among the "two Kunluns", there must be one "Kunlun" as the fifth king of the sword.
And who is this Hu Qi? Naturally, we have to look at his personality and relationship with Tan Sitong. Tan Sitong was very popular at the time because of his outrageous personality and his love of being a knight in the world. He not only met Wang Wu, but also Hu Qi, who was well-known at the time.
This Hu Qi, like Wang Wu, gave the nickname "Through the Gibbon" to celebrities in the arena. He was successful in martial arts, and he was also just. Therefore, Tan Sitong had friendship with him and Wang Wu. Among them, Hu Qi was called the Seventh Brother by Tan Sitong, and Wang Wu was called the Five Lord. Although the name
is somewhat chaotic, it does not affect the friendship between the three. In the plan to rescue Guangxu, Hu Qi was also one of the "foreign aid" requested by Tan Sitong. Moreover, Hu Qi had tried his best to protect Tan Sitong from being arrested, but it was a pity that Tan Sitong refused to leave. As a result, he became a ghost under the sword. But Tan Si died at the same time, and the "six gentlemen" were quickly killed. Wang Wu and Hu Qi probably went to avoid disaster, so they disappeared later.
It can be seen that if Hu Qi is favored by Tan Sitong, it can also be attributed to "Kunlun". Moreover, if the sword is really pointing at the rivers and lakes, Hu Qi is also the best candidate. It's just that this is only a part of the view, and it is impossible for future generations to agree.
In fact, the above three statements are only one of the mainstream, because the "two Kunlun" has always been a mystery, so posterity has more speculation. It is said that some people later believed that the "two Kunluns" should refer to the five kings of broad swords and Tan Sitong. It's just that this statement is just one of the guesses. If you really want to find out, I'm afraid I have to ask Tan Sitong himself under Jiuquan.
