is here for the time being, and the quiet period pays off.

This poem titled "Ti Li Ning Secluded Residence" is a work of Jia Dao. Among them, a poem that Han Yu interprets with the words "tweet" and "knock" is even more unknown. Then this story is a real occurrence in history. Is it? What kind of life does Jia Dao have? In this issue, let’s talk about this island.

Jiadao poetry and artistic conception

According to historical records, Jia Dao was born in a poor family in 779 AD with the name Langxian, and is today a native of Zhuozhou, Hebei Province. Although born in a poor family, he still has a longing for studying and becoming an official, hoping to change his destiny and determined to serve the country.

had taken the imperial examinations many times in his early years, but they all ended in failure. I think the reason is not his talent, but his character. How to understand, we can find the answer in a poem he wrote during the scientific expedition.

sick cicada

sick cicada can't fly, walk in my palm.

The wings can still be thin, and the sourness is still very clear.

Reveal was condensed in her abdomen, the dust hit her eyes by mistake.

The carduelis and the kite bird, both have bad feelings. According to legend, the poet Jia Dao escaped into Buddhism due to the pressure of life in his early years, but his heart did not really let go. Although the government had a strict system for the management of monks going out at that time, he still often went out for outings. And make friends.

One day, Jia Dao went out to visit a friend named Li Ning on the outskirts of Chang'an. When he finally touched Li Ning's house along the mountain road, it was already dead at night. With the bright moonlight, he knocked on the door of Li Ning's house. As a result, his friend was not at home, and the knock on the door gave all the sleeping birds on the tree. Woke up.

Jia Dao "tweeted" and "knocked" the artistic conception portrait

so he left the poem at the beginning of the article on the wall of Li Ning's home. Jia Dao was originally a poet who wrote with a wandering mood and a dedicated attitude. Each word is carefully tempered. Therefore, on the way back to Chang'an on a donkey the next day, I was still thinking about the poem I improvised last night. I felt that the word "Push" in the sentence "The bird rests on the tree by the pond, the monk pushes the moon down the door" is not appropriate enough. Perhaps it is more appropriate to use the word "knock" instead.

As a result, Jia Dao rode a donkey into the guard of honor of the then absolute literary figure, Han Yuhan, the mayor of Chang'an. This is not bad, so I was brought to Mayor Han, and after some in-depth exchanges, as the so-called misfortune and blessing depend on each other, in the eyes of ordinary people, Jia Dao, who was already on the verge of misfortune, turned misfortune into blessing in an instant, while leaving behind " Push the "knock" story.

Han Yu's advice to Jia Dao is that you should get rid of monk status with such a great literary talent, take the imperial examination, and enter politics. Jia Dao, who originally had the thought of loyalty to the emperor and the feelings of family and country in his bones, was even more confident, so the world picked my highest problem again. Self-confidence was extremely overwhelming. It was because of me that Jia Dao was only able to learn Jinshi and Di Na. It's pediatrics, so I didn't put the "eight hundred juzi" in the same department in the eyes. When

later took the imperial examination, it seemed that I was too lazy to examine the questions. I even wrote the poem "Sick Cicada". "All cardinals and crows all want to harm cicadas." This kind of meaning implies that the chief examiner dared to hire, but was sentenced to "the untalented person should not be used." A bad name of "Ten Evil Exams".

My opinion is that the so-called "evil" is true when writing poems in the examination room. Because of the condensed words "push" and "knock" in the poem, there is a lot of room for discussion with the story of Dajia Han's crash.

First of all, it is said that Jia Dao and Han Yu met because of this "crash" accident, and I inferred that they should have known each other very early, and the bridge between them is probably the other well-known one. A great poet-Comrade Meng Jiao.

In addition, Han Yu was promoted to the mayor of Chang'an, Kyoto in 823 AD, Han Yu was 56 years old, and Jia Dao was 45 years old. This is a historical record of the two of them. The resume does not match. According to historical records, Jia Dao was with Han Yu in 811 ADThey met in Chang'an, and their common poet Meng Jiao died in 814 AD. Therefore, it is said that they met in 811 more reliably.

So why is there a saying that you know you because of "tweeting" and "knocking"? In fact, this saying didn't appear at the beginning until the late Tang and Five Dynasties. There are two reasons for this. One: Jia Dao did collide with the honor guard of the mayor of Kyoto, but it was not Han Yu, and the result was not so warm.

According to the "Tang Su Yan" record, "Jia Daoyuan and Zhongmei cross the donkey and Zhanggai, cross the sky, the autumn wind is strong, and the yellow leaves can be swept. Daohuyin said: "The fallen leaves are full of Chang'an," He bluntly, asks for a match, is unavailable, and does not know where to follow. Because of this, Liu Qichu, a great capitalist, was explained overnight."

As stated in this text, Jia Dao is indeed It was because he was immersed in the verse that he ran into a mayor, but it was not Han Yu, and the result was not as good as the legend, but was released after being detained for a day. The poems written by Jia Dao are as follows:

Wu Zhishi on the remembrance of the river

set sail for the country of Fujian, and toad recovered.

The autumn breeze produces Weishui, and the fallen leaves are full of Chang'an.

The evening of the party here was thunder and cold.

Lan Luo has never returned, and the news is overwhelming.

This Chief Wu was acquainted in Chang'an, Beijing before Jia Dao took the civil service examination. He is a reclusive master who lives in seclusion. Later, Chief Wu left Chang'an and continued to live in Fujian. After a long time, Jia Dao couldn't help but missed a lot, so he wrote this poem.

So this mayor Liu Qichu is a big bad guy because he detained the great poet Jia Dao?

Hey, it would be too wrong for him to put this hat on him if it is so simple. In fact, the mayor Liu is a person with a treacherous personality and a strong sense of justice. When he was mayor, the security in the capital was very good. He was a fierce man who did not avoid the nobles and had strict law enforcement. It is inevitable that Comrade Jia Dao, in a state of wandering, bumped into the detention of such a strict mayor for one day.

So why is there such a beautiful story between Jia Dao and Han Yu? In fact, this should be beautified by the fans of Jiadao in the late Tang Dynasty, and history is written by victors, and writing these words is not a literati!

Jia Dao’s civil service road was very unsatisfactory. He was not admitted for many exams. The reason was inseparable from his stubborn personality, except for not participating in the academic style. Jia Dao's commoner body did not change until a few years before the end of his life. Perhaps the reason was that his fame and the Sheng imperial court made him a Changjiang County head book.

In 840 AD, Jia Dao, who was already 62 years old at the time, moved to join the army in what is today Sicang, Anyue County, Sichuan. But he is too far away from his ideals and ambitions in life, and his ambitions and dissatisfaction with the reality are infiltrated in his poems. We excerpt two representative poems, and the poems are as follows:

swordsman

sharpened his sword for ten years, and the frost blade has never tried.

put Shijun today, who is unfair.

The old will be

The old things are like a dream, who should believe in the old man. There are several battlefields in

, and no one in the part.

The sick horses are harvested in the sunset, and the pictures are taken out in sunny days.

For Jush pilgrimage, self-twisting white mustache.

In 843 AD, at the age of 65, Jia Dao died of illness. Although his career was unsuccessful and his ambitions were not fulfilled in his life, his poems and painstaking spirit had a considerable influence in the late Tang and Five Dynasties. Some fans even cast statues for him and worship them as Buddhas or immortals. Accordingly, it is not difficult to understand the beautiful legend of "push" and "knock".

The huge contrast between a person's ideal and reality is not unrelated to the background of the time he lives in, but more reasons stem from his environment and personality. She escaped into the empty gate due to the force of life. Although she was in the shaman, the troubles of the world could not be completely forgotten.

The lonely life in the Zen house adds to the formation of Jiadao’s lonely and indifferent introverted personality, showing his joy and anger., The world is very seldom lingering. Semi-vulgar and semi-monk identity and literati disposition, it is inevitable for monks to think about vulgarity, and it is difficult to abandon Zen mind when entering vulgarity. It is difficult for a person living in such a dual channel to realize his ideals.
