The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Huang Tingjian was a talented scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty who was deeply loved by everyone.

Su Shi was both his teacher and friend. Literati and poets after the Song Dynasty honored him as the founder of the Jiangxi School of Poetry.

Huang Tingjian had a straightforward character and was unwilling to follow the crowd.

Although he was implicated by Mr. Dongpo and was exiled many times.

However, he had no regrets and created countless popular works throughout his life.

After many ups and downs in his official career, the poet did not go with the crowd.

Instead, he has always maintained a noble character, and his friends seem to be a group of eccentric hermits.

Every time I read Huang Tingjian's poems, I feel inspired and benefited a lot.

"Huang Tingjian was born in the fifth year of Emperor Renzong's Qingli reign, and was a native of Shuangjing Village, Xiushui County, Jiangxi Province."

"My grandfather Huang Xi was a Jinshi in the second year of Emperor Renzong's Jiayou reign. His third son Huang Shu was the father of Huang Tingjian."

"Huang Tingjian's mother was the daughter of Li Dong, a prominent family in Jianchang, and was well versed in classics, history, calligraphy and painting."

"Huang Tingjian's family was full of talented people. During the Song Dynasty, there were 48 Jinshi graduates from the Shuangjing Huang family alone, and it was known as the No. Jinshi village in China."

"Huang Tingjian was influenced by his family's education since he was young. He began to read the Five Classics at the age of five and recited them fluently. At the age of seven, he wrote a poem called "Shepherd Boy Poem."

"In the second year of Emperor Renzong of Song's Jiayou reign, Huang Tingjian studied at Zhitai Academy in Shuangjing Village, his hometown."

"In the third year of Jiayou, Huang Tingjian's father Huang Shu died of illness."

"Because of his father's death and the family's financial difficulties, he had to move back to his grandmother's house with his mother."

"In the fourth year of Jiayou, Huang Tingjian went to Huainan to study with his uncle Li Chang."

"In such a good learning environment, Huang Tingjian was able to read widely and lay a solid foundation in literature."

"When Huang Tingjian followed Li Chang in Yangzhou, he met Sun Jue and was appreciated by him."

"Sun Jue admired Du Fu very much. During a debate with poet Wang Pingfu about Du Fu and Han Yu, Sun Jue discovered Huang Tingjian's talent."

"From then on, he admired him very much and later betrothed his daughter Sun Lanxi to him. Huang Tingjian was also deeply grateful for Sun Jue's recognition and teachings."

"In the eighth year of Emperor Renzong of Song's Jiayou reign, Huang Tingjian participated in the Hongzhou provincial examination and ranked first."

"In the ninth year of Jiayou, Huang Tingjian went to Beijing to take part in the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites, but failed."

"Huang Tingjian went to Bianjing to take the Ministry of Rites examination, and was ranked third in the imperial examination. He was transferred to Ye County, Ruzhou."

"In the first year of Emperor Shenzong of Song's Xining reign, Huang Tingjian was transferred to Ye County, Ruzhou, but he did not take up his post until September."

"Because of the delay in reporting, the former prime minister Fu Bi, who was serving in Ruzhou at the time, detained Huang Tingjian according to law and did not release him until the end of the year to take office."

"An earthquake and flood occurred north of the Yellow River, and victims flocked to the area around Ye County, Ruzhou. Fu Bi ordered relief for the victims."

"As a county lieutenant, Huang Tingjian rushed to settle the disaster victims. Seeing the suffering of the victims, he was moved and wrote "The Lament of the Refugees", expressing his deep sympathy for the victims."

"In the third year of Xining, Huang Tingjian's wife Sun Lanxi unfortunately died of illness in Ye County. He wrote "Sleeping Alone in Hongjiao Cave" to express his endless grief."

"Huang Tingjian took the examination for the four capitals' academic officials and was appointed as a professor because of his excellent performance."

"The following year he met the poet Xie Jingchu and married his daughter Xie Jiexiu."

"Xie Jiexiu unfortunately passed away in the second year of Yuanfeng, leaving behind a daughter, Huang Mu, for Huang Tingjian."

"In the ninth year of Xining, the old Grand Tutor Wen Yanbo, who was staying in Beijing at the time, appreciated him very much and recommended him for re-election."

"Therefore, Huang Tingjian did not go to the Ministry of Personnel to change his official title and serve as the magistrate of Taihe County in Jizhou until the third year of Yuanfeng of Emperor Shenzong of Song."

Lu You: Huang Tingjian's Autumn Nostalgia, these two seven-character poems are long-lasting, free and easy, and full of philosophical interest.

A life of traveling brings not only the inconvenience of life but also the bitterness of homesickness.

Outside the window there is continuous autumn rain and chirping insects, and inside the house there is the dim shadow of a solitary lamp and a cold quilt.

A few sounds of rain on the banana leaves and eight or nine sounds of wind in the bamboo forest late at night will evoke the melancholy of those who cannot sleep.

A young talent in the Northern Song Dynasty also experienced such a rainy night, which made him miss his old friends far away even more.

The autumn shadows pressed gently over the thatched cottage, and the chirping of insects made last night cool.

The rain opens up the banana leaves, new and old; the wind shakes the Xunlong Palace in response to the Shang Dynasty.

The sound of the anvil is urgent and cannot be slowed down, and the view from the eaves is short and cannot be prolonged.

The fox fur is torn and thrown in the corner, but who cares about the heavy frost in the coming years?

Huang Tingjian, also known as Shan Gu Dao Ren, is the founder of the Jiangxi School of Poetry.

"Two Poems on Autumn Thoughts" was written in the eighth year of Xining, when the author was 31 years old and was serving as a professor at the Imperial College in Daming, Hebei.

The duties in the Imperial College were leisurely and the environment was simple, so the author often read to amuse himself.

As the year was coming to an end, the poet was far away from his hometown, which triggered his homesickness, so he improvised a poem.

The autumn clouds are thin and the insects are chirping, which vividly shows the climatic characteristics of autumn at the beginning.

The autumn clouds penetrate the house during the day, and the weather gradually becomes cooler at night.

The poet's observation is meticulous and his choice of words is exquisite: after the rain, the banana leaves blossom, with new leaves alternating with old leaves.

The sound of bamboos when wind blows through them is extremely melodious.

The banana leaves make pleasant sounds in the wind and rain, and also reveal the author's joy.

The first two couplets focus on the autumn scenery and autumn sounds respectively, expressing the poet's praise for the beauty of autumn.

In the author's writing, the sound of anvils is imminent, autumn is deep, and it is time to make winter clothes.

The days are short in autumn and the shadows outside the eaves are not long, which further highlights the poet's delicate writing style.

In ancient times, women would wash new cloth in the autumn to make warm clothes for their families. The urgent sound of the anvils also indirectly expressed the strong autumn atmosphere.

The poet suddenly remembered that his fur coat was torn and no one repaired it, so it was thrown away in the corner of the wall, which also shows the poet's embarrassing situation of being a traveler with a meager salary.

The last sentence, "How can I miss the heavy frost in the late year?" expresses the poet's unbearable coldness and severe frost near the end of the year, yet his free and unrestrained mood.

"Huang Tingjian and his family traveled from Bianjing to Taihe County, Jizhou, to take up his post. On his way through Anhui, he visited Qianshan in Huaining County."

"In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Huang Tingjian arrived at Taihe County, Jizhou to take up his post."

"During his tenure, the court was stepping up the implementation of Wang Anshi's new law and promoting the salt monopoly policy."

“This policy was originally intended to limit the large landowners’ land annexation and their exploitation of the people.”

"However, the new law was implemented because of unfair practices by officials seeking to make huge profits and seek credit from their superiors."

“They ignored the actual needs and purchasing power of the people and repeatedly overstated the quantity and then sold it to the people at a high price.”

"It led to the people's miserable life. Huang Tingjian fiercely criticized this salt law in his poems."

"In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Huang Tingjian was dismissed from his post as the magistrate of Taihe County and transferred to be the supervisor of Deping Town in Dezhou."

"In the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Huang Tingjian's son Huang Xiang was born."

"In March of that year, he was passing by the Sangha Pagoda in Sizhou."

"I wrote a 'Prayer' in front of the pagoda and gave up meat and became a vegetarian from then on."

"After arriving in Deping, Zhao Tingzhi, then the magistrate of Dezhou, was about to implement the new law of market exchange in Dezhou."

"Huang Tingjian believed that the people of Dezhou were poor and could not withstand the plunder of the new law."

"This disagreement led to a situation of discord between the two sides, and later Zhao Tingzhi fabricated charges against Huang Tingjian, leading to his exile and death in Yizhou."

"When Emperor Shenzong of Song died, the ten-year-old Crown Prince Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Zhezong of Song."

"Because he was young, the Empress Dowager Gao was in power, and Gao was politically inclined to the old party."

"She swept away the new policy forces of Wang Anshi's faction and appointed Sima Guang as prime minister. In April, Huang Tingjian was appointed as a proofreader in the Ministry of Secretaries."

"In the second year of Yuanyou, Su Shi wanted to recommend Huang Tingjian as a Hanlin scholar, but failed. In the end, Huang Tingjian was awarded the title of Zuo Lang."

"Zhao Tingzhi attacked Su Shi's recommendation and attacked Su Shi and Huang Tingjian in his memorial."

"Due to Zhao Tingzhi's criticism, Huang Tingjian's promotion to the position of Zuo Zuo Lang was soon cancelled, and he remained in his original position of Zuo Zuo Lang."

"Under successive political adversities, Huang Tingjian no longer had any interest in a career in politics."

"He first submitted a 'Petition of Resignation and Transfer', which was not approved, and then submitted a 'Petition of Requesting for the Return of the Imperial Grace'." "He begged that the imperial grace be transferred to his mother, and his mother was therefore conferred the title of Ankang County Taijun."

"And he himself repeatedly requested to be appointed to a post outside the capital, unwilling to serve as an official in the capital."

"In June of that year, Huang Tingjian's mother died of illness. The court gave him money and materials for the funeral, so he had to interrupt his duties and return home to take care of his mother."

"He returned home in the first month of the following year, and in May he learned that his uncle Huang Lian had died of illness in the capital. The successive blows only increased his grief."

"In the seventh year of Yuanyou, Prime Minister Lü Dafang recommended Huang Tingjian and Qin Guan as editors of the official history because he had recommended the compilation of the "Records of Emperor Shenzong" in the fourth year of Yuanyou. In the seventh year of Yuanyou, he also recommended the compilation of the "Official History of Emperor Shenzong".

Wen Tianxiang: A masterpiece by Huang Tingjian, which uses allusions seamlessly and demonstrates his elegant mind.

The autumn wind blows in the thatched hut, and I walk around the empty courtyard covered with slippery purple moss.

It rains in the evening on the frog pond, and the magpies turn to the south branches at night in the deep moon.

It is unpredictable to change one's hands, and once one dies, the friendship will be gone.

The lake water is immersed in white clouds for no apparent reason, and the old friend's letter is cut off and the lonely wild goose disappears.

The first two lines of the second poem describe the autumn wind and after the rain, the rustling thatched cottage and the procession in the empty courtyard.

It shows the emptiness of the room and the sparseness of visitors, and also conveys the author's loneliness in his cold and lonely house and his lonely official career.

However, although a little lonely, the poet is good at finding joy in suffering.

It has been raining for several days, the water in the pond has risen and the frogs are croaking continuously.

It is late at night, the moon is high in the sky, and magpies are chirping on the branches.

The scene seems lonely, but the poet loves its quietness.

The first two couplets describe the scene and sounds vividly and are full of interest.

Facing the bleak autumn scenery, the poet suddenly felt a little sad that people in the world are so indifferent and hard to trust.

The last couplet is even more subtle and implicit, because the bleak and lonely situation makes the poet yearn for true friendship.

But the lake was inexplicably submerged in white clouds, the letter from my old friend was cut off and the lonely wild goose disappeared. We were thousands of miles apart and it was difficult to get in touch with him.

The poet's emotions fluctuate, secretly revealing that the author is not satisfied with the current situation. He hopes to meet his old friends again in the future and to be promoted.

Huang Tingjian's two seven-character poems about homesickness in autumn are both longing, free and unrestrained, and full of philosophical interest.

Looking at these two poems, the author associates the bleak autumn scenery with the difficulties of his own situation, and the desolate feeling is diluted by his free and easy mood.

The first poem describes the bleak Mid-Autumn scenery. Although life is difficult, the poet remains free and unrestrained.

The second poem expresses the poet's feelings, in which he values ​​friendship in separation. His emotions are deep and full of both intellectual interest and deep affection.

The poet was not afraid of hardship, but he missed the old times. The young Huang Tingjian could not foresee his future life of exile at this time.

The poet was in his prime at this time, and his unseasoned face was filled with unruly and proud spirit.

There is no slackness or hesitation, but a carefree and open-minded mood.

"Huang Tingjian did not want to be involved in the controversy, so in September of that year, after the mourning period for his mother was over, he submitted a petition to be relieved of his post as editor."

"His first request was not approved, so he submitted a second letter of resignation, stating that he was ill and determined to quit."

"In the eighth year of Yuanyou, Huang Tingjian buried his mother in Shuangjing, Xiushui, and built Yongsi Hall next to his mother's tomb to live in."

"In September, Empress Dowager Gao passed away. In October, Song Zhezong took over the government. In April of the following year, the reign was changed to Shaosheng."

"Song Zhezong was powerless for a long time during the reign of Empress Dowager Gao, and his dissatisfaction deepened as he grew older."

"When he took charge of state affairs, he recalled all those who were demoted during Wang Anshi's New Party period."

"The officials of the old party during the Yuanyou period were successively demoted and expelled, and the political struggle became more and more like a party struggle."

"In the first year of Emperor Zhezong of Song's Shaosheng reign, Huang Tingjian was appointed as the governor of Xuanzhou, but he never reported for office."

"At the same time, the 'Shenzong Shilu' was also attacked by the New Party because it was compiled when the Old Party was in power."

"The court issued an edict to review the editors, and Huang Tingjian, who had just completed his mourning period, came to Chenliu in response to the edict."

"It was equivalent to dismissing all his official posts, and only giving him a sinecure to manage the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, and ordering him to live in Kaifeng and accept the review of the National History Institute."

"In the second year of Shaosheng, Huang Tingjian left Chenliu for Qianzhou, accompanied by his brother Dalin."

"Arrived in April and stayed in the Mowei Pavilion of Kaiyuan Temple."

"During the period, I passed through Jiangling and stayed at Jiangling Chengtian Temple."

"The abbot, Zen Master Zhizhu, plans to demolish the old pagoda in the temple and rebuild a new one. He hopes that Huang Tingjian will write an inscription on it after it is completed."

"In the autumn, my second brother Shuda brought his family, Huang Tingjian's son Huang Xiang, and Huang Xiang's mother to Qianzhou."

"Zhezong passed away in the third year of Yuanfu. He ruled for only six years and left no offspring."

"His younger brother, Prince Duan Zhao Ji, ascended the throne as Emperor Huizong of Song, and Empress Dowager Xiang was in charge of government affairs, leaning towards the old party."

"In May, Huang Tingjian was reinstated as a Xuande Lang, and his honors and gifts were returned."

"In December, he left Rongzhou and returned eastward, crossing Jiang'an by boat."

"The county magistrate Shi Xindao warmly persuaded him to stay and betrothed his daughter to Huang Tingjian's son Huang Xiang."

"In the first month of the fourth year of Yuanfu, Empress Dowager Xiang passed away, and Emperor Huizong took over the government."

"In July, Cai Jing ascended to the position of Prime Minister and stepped up the political purge of members of the old party."

"In the spring of that year, Huang Tingjian went east from Jiang'an and was transferred to be the governor of Shuzhou in March."

"In April, he was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Personnel and summoned to the capital, but he refused due to his poor health and repeatedly submitted petitions requesting to be sent to other counties."

"During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, Huang Tingjian was appointed as the governor of Taiping Prefecture, but he was dismissed on the 17th day."

"The day after he was dismissed from office, the governor's office held a banquet to see him off."

"Huang Tingjian improvised "Mulanhualing" to express his complex and subtle mentality about the ups and downs and the fact that everything is fleeting."

"In the fourth year of Chongning, Emperor Huizong of Song pardoned all members of the Yuanyou Party, and Huang Tingjian was among them."

"He moved from Yizhou to Yongzhou, but he did not receive the imperial edict and died of illness in Yizhou in September."

Xin Qiji: Huang Tingjian had morality in his heart when he learned calligraphy, and he also broadened his horizons with the teachings of sages, which makes his calligraphy valuable.

Huang Tingjian is a famous calligrapher and is listed as one of the Four Masters of Song Dynasty.

His cursive script is recognized as a new peak of cursive script after the Tang Dynasty. It took him a total of forty years of practice from his first appearance to his stunning performance.

He created a free and unrestrained world of cursive writing with a hearty and vigorous writing style, and he has made considerable achievements in both literature and calligraphy.

Since Zhao Kuangyin unified the country and established the Song Dynasty, the domestic situation finally calmed down after the Five Dynasties, so the advancement of literature and art reached another peak in the Song Dynasty.

Unlike the early Northern Song Dynasty, which basically followed the calligraphy of the previous dynasty, the calligraphy of the late Northern Song Dynasty in which Huang Tingjian lived was brilliant and colorful.

During this period, Huang Tingjian and others emerged one after another, and a new style of calligraphy that emphasizes idealism began a long process of gradual perfection.

Huang Tingjian's early regular script works do not have the characteristics of running script in his mature period. Although overall, the structure of regular script is still written in the style of running script.

But it is slightly plump, and the style does not have the ups and downs of Huang's style of calligraphy, but instead shows thick and concise strokes.

Unlike the slender characters of the later period, the characters are relatively flat, and the structure appears stable and dignified.

Like his teacher Su Shi, Huang Tingjian's official career was also very bumpy.

After Huang Tingjian was demoted for gloating over other's misfortunes and slandering the country, his calligraphy became more and more advanced as his political career came to an end.

After experiencing bitterness and mixed feelings of sorrow and joy, Huang Tingjian gained new insights into life, and calligraphy gradually matured along with this old man in the valley.

Huang Tingjian's calligraphy during this period is full of vitality, as if all his resentment towards his official career was expressed on paper.

Huang Tingjian's "Letter to the Elders" is a very important work of his. The calligraphy characteristics and brushwork of Huang Tingjian shown in "Letter to the Elders" have profound appreciation significance.

Huang Tingjian's cursive script is free and easy, with rich turning techniques and vigorous brushstrokes.

It presents three forms of expression in the whole article, namely, reverse start, reverse connection and pause.

Starting from the opposite direction is a basic performance in the calligraphy process.

Reverse connection means placing a partition between two adjacent characters to create a reverse connection effect.

The setback is achieved by repeatedly using the opposite trend. (End of this chapter)
