The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

He was Su Dongpo's most proud disciple and a master of the graceful and elegant school of poetry.

He was a talented and romantic man admired by the singing girls in brothels, but he was also a down-and-out scholar who suffered a lot of misery in his later years.

His golden wind and jade dew, when met, are better than countless things in the world.

If love between two people lasts for a long time, why would they be together day and night? This gives the ancient legend a new meaning.

His free-flying flowers are as light as dreams, and the endless drizzle is as fine as sorrow, which is an extremely graceful metaphor that has been passed down through the ages.

Compared with his mentor Su Dongpo, who was independent from the world, he was more like an ordinary person living in this world.

I tried my best, but still couldn't live a good life.

His poems are amazing and admirable to read, but his life is completely opposite to his literary talent.

He was talented, but his official career was bumpy.

His poems are elegant and graceful in style, influenced by Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu and others.

It doesn't sound pretentious when read, but rather has a deep and lingering affection.

He is Qin Guan.

Qin Guan was not only one of the four scholars of Su Shi's school, but also a representative of the graceful and elegant school.

"In the history of Song poetry, Qin Guan is an indispensable figure."

"Even under the top halo of Liu Yong, Ouyang Xiu, Zhang Xian and Su Shi, Qin Xueshi still has his own world."

“No one in this world can replace him, because he has a unique heart for poetry.”

"Although Qin Guan was a man of great stature and with a long beard, he was extremely delicate, tender and sensitive, and was able to write many wonderful works."

"Qin Guan was born in Gaoyou, a place with great culture."

"Qin Guan was a rather naughty boy at that time. He hardly read books and spent all his time practicing martial arts with his spear and club."

"I started primary school at the age of seven, and read books like Mencius at the age of nine."

“It can be seen that Qin Guan’s enlightenment was relatively late.”

"Not only did he not study hard, but he also learned to drink and liked to hang out with drunkards."

"His fellow countryman and senior poet Sun Jue often advised him that if he continued like this, he would be ruined."

"Qin Guan listened to his predecessors and started reading, often two or three days a month."

"But even so, there are still people willing to marry their daughters to him."

"When Qin Guan was 19 years old, he married Xu Wenmei, the daughter of Xu Chengfu, the chief clerk of Ningxiang, Tanzhou."

"When Xu Wenmei was in trouble, her parents would provide financial support, so Qin Guan's life improved and he no longer had to struggle for a living."

"Even when his wife was raising silkworms and weaving cloth, Qin Guan chatted with her and wrote the Book of Silkworms."

"As a result, my wife's craftsmanship became popular, and Qin Guan's books also became popular."

"Although he failed the imperial examination, his life became more leisurely."

"He has a poem called 'Xingxiangzi', which depicts the leisurely and carefree pastoral scenery at this time."

"When Qin Guan was 26 years old, he had admired Su Shi for a long time, but unfortunately he had no chance to meet him."

"This is mainly because he is very famous in Gaoyou, but not very famous nationwide."

"At this time, Su Shi was going to Mizhou to take up his post. He passed by Yangzhou and went to Pingshan Hall to mourn Ouyang Xiu accompanied by the governor of Yangzhou."

"Qin Guan thought this was a great opportunity, so he went for a look before Su Shi and his party arrived."

"In the first year of Yuanfeng, Qin Guan failed the imperial examination again."

"After feeling depressed, I went to Xuzhou to pay a visit to Teacher Su."

"Su Shi told him not to lose heart and to keep working hard."

Zhang Juzheng: The romantic life of Qin Huaihai is gone, the world is lonely for five hundred years, the wandering and sad life of Qin Guan, the master of graceful poetry

Qin Guan was born in Gaoyou, Jiangsu Province. When he was young, he liked reading military books but had no interest in taking the imperial examinations.

He traveled extensively, indulged in singing and drinking, and was a well-known talented and romantic man.

His idol was Su Shi, who was already famous all over the world at that time. When the 30-year-old Qin Guan heard that Su Shi was transferred to Xuzhou, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to pay a visit to him.

Su Shi also admired Qin Guan's talent very much and encouraged him to study hard and obtain official title.

At the age of 37, Qin Guan passed the imperial examination and became a doctor of the Imperial College and editor of the National History Academy with the recommendation of Su Shi.

Qin Guan discussed state affairs and poetry with his fellow disciples, and his life was fulfilling and interesting.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Qin Guan, who had always been cautious, was involved in party struggles.

Because he was a disciple of Su Shi, both the old and new parties regarded him as a political enemy, and Qin Guan suffered a lot of persecution during this period.

As Song Zhezong took power and re-employed the New Party, Su Shi's faction was suppressed, and Qin Guan was naturally not spared.

He was first demoted to the position of Tongpan of Hangzhou. However, the New Party continued to collect evidence, so Qin Guan was demoted to the more remote Chuzhou to supervise liquor taxes before he even arrived in Hangzhou.

Qin Guan, who was disheartened, often chanted Buddhist scriptures and copied Buddhist scriptures to relieve his depression.

Unexpectedly, the New Party used this as a handle to accuse him of not doing his job properly, so he was demoted again.

This time, he was stripped of all his official positions and salaries and was exiled to Chenzhou, Hunan.

But even so, the New Party still refused to let him go and transferred him from Chenzhou to the more remote Hengzhou, Guangxi for administrative control.

Who could have imagined that the once elegant and dashing scholar had now become a prisoner at the mercy of others!
The New Party was still looking for more remote and desperate places for him within the territory of the Song Dynasty.

The new emperor Song Huizong issued a general amnesty, and Qin Guan was reinstated as Xuan De Lang, but it was too late.

He was 52 years old at the time, and after years of wandering, he was already at the end of his rope.

It’s a pity that he was full of talent but unable to change the situation. He could only leave behind a bitter smile and a lifetime of lament.

Looking back on Qin Guan's life, he was more like every ordinary person struggling in the world.

He was young and frivolous, but when he reached middle age, he was caught by the hand of fate and had to leave his hometown.

His life was like drifting flowers, the only thing missing was freedom.

"Before leaving, Qin Guan wrote "Farewell to Scholar Zizhan", in which there is this sentence."

"I don't want to be a marquis, I just want to meet Su Xuzhou."

"It can be seen that Shaoyou is as straightforward as Li Bai in his heart."

"But in terms of personality, he is far less cool and unrestrained than Taibai."

"The next year, Qin Guan continued to follow in Su Shi's footsteps and traveled with his monk friends."

"When Qin Guan arrived in Wuyue, he lingered over the local singing girls and finally found the birthplace of his emotions."

"Through Teacher Su, Qin Guan came into contact with Huang Tingjian, Chen Shidao and others."

"Shaoyou indulged in play and neglected his studies, and his calligraphy is not very good."

"In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the 37-year-old Qin Guan finally passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Everyone in his hometown looked at him with new eyes."

"And his wife finally feels that she has finally made it."

"Every day he rode his donkey around Bianjing City, staying at Wuxie Zhangtai, looking for Liu Qi's footprints."

"The following year, Qin Guan went to Caizhou to take up the post of professor of the official school, which was considered as his official career."

"In Caizhou, Qin Guan met a singing girl named Lou Wan, who looked like the young Xue Tao, Nian Nu and others."

"Qin Guan, because his wife was not around, had no scruples and saw the woman appear at the prefect's banquet."

"So I often went there to eat for free, hoping to get a glimpse of the beauty."

"As a prince of love songs, writing lyrics is of course essential to wooing girls."

"Qin Guan's poems are different from Liu Yong's and are many times better than Zhou Bangyan's."

"But you would never imagine that this was written by a man with a straight beard and a gun in his hand. This is the best example of a chivalrous and tender heart."

"Qin Guan is known as the saddest man in ancient times, and this happened overnight."

"After teaching in the local area, he was transferred back to the capital in the fifth year of Yuanyou and served as a doctor of the Imperial College."

"This was a sacred profession that Han Yu once held. Soon after, he went to the Secretariat to proofread books."

“But the next year, he was impeached because of party disputes.”

"Since teacher Su Shi was respected by Empress Dowager Gao, Qin Guan was not in trouble."

"When Empress Dowager Gao died, Su Shi and his students suffered misfortunes one after another."

Wang Yangming: Qin Guan, a master of poetry of his time, was praised by Su Shi as having the talent of Qu Yuan and Song Yu.

Qin Guan was a student of Su Shi and was known as the leader of the Four Scholars of Su's School.

He has been well-read since childhood, and is full of knowledge and talent.

He had once devoted himself to a career in government, hoping that his talent could be used by the world and that he could become a capable official. But God had destined him to be a literary youth, not a general or an official, and therefore he was repeatedly teased in the academic and official circles.

He passed the imperial examination at the age of 36 and then entered the official career because of his teacher Su Shi and his angry personality.

He never had a smooth life. He was demoted and suppressed time and time again, and spent the rest of his life in exile.

The so-called literary youths are generally talented people who have high self-esteem and are self-willed. Qin Guan's miserable experience in officialdom and his talent that had nowhere to be used but could not be suppressed and concealed destined him to become a literary youth who would be passed down through the ages in history.

Let him transform all his life's talent into beautiful words and sentences that can move people's hearts, and let him wear the hat of a literary youth.

Thousands of years later, people are still so fascinated by his poems and miss his life.

Qin Guan went to Shaoxing and took a fancy to a singing girl, and the two hit it off immediately.

Qin Guan wrote a poem with a leisurely artistic conception for him. It is hard to believe that it was just his poem that showed off the romantic and amorous feelings.

Qin Guan, who failed in officialdom but succeeded in love, found joy in being profound, romantic and talented.

I might as well just dive in and do some art like an old man.

He avoided his original wife Xu Wenmei and looked for inspiration and lyrics from his female fans, and wrote one beautiful poem after another that was admired by female literary youths all over the world at that time.

When in Caizhou, Qin Guan fell in love with the camp prostitute Lou Wan at first sight. He wrote a poem for her and thoughtfully included her name and surname in the poem.

Once, Qin Guan attended a banquet and the host asked his favorite concubine Bi Tao to persuade Qin Guan to drink.

Bitao's beautiful and clever eyes made his heart beat fast again.

But the beauty was already taken, so he could only write a poem "Yu Meiren" with hatred.

Qin Guan also had great admiration for his teacher Su Shi's favorite concubine Chao Yun.

Qin Guan once liked a beautiful Taoist nun. After he started chatting her up, she thought he was being a hooligan and gave him a cold look and walked away.

Qin Guan was in a daze, left with endless longing and regret, reminiscing about the past alone.

When Qin Guan was demoted to Chenzhou, Hunan, he stopped in Changsha on his way to exile.

Since ancient times, Hunan women have been romantic. A beautiful woman from Changsha was madly in love with Qin Guan's poems. After meeting Qin Guan, she immediately fell in love with him and pledged herself to him.

After Qin Guan left, the Changsha woman waited for him anxiously, and after Qin Guan's death, she committed suicide for love.

Qin Guan was also very good at writing policy essays. The so-called policy essays are articles that specifically provide advice to the emperor on how to govern the country and maintain peace.

But Qin Guan, who is wearing the hat of a literary youth, has such charm and artistic conception in his poems that they can kill people instantly.

As a result, later generations only remember his poems and him as a person, but forget his other talents.

From Qin Guan’s sentimental and talented poems.

I can read the helplessness and melancholy of the angry young people, as well as the sentimentality and true feelings of the literary young people.

Only a person as frustrated and disheartened as him could write such poems with such deep emotion, profound artistic conception and unique style.

It can only be written in a specific environment, context and state of mind.

His poems seem to be affectionate and sweet, but they are full of great vitality and are overflowing with the beauty of life and art.

Almost no one dares to shake his position as a literary youth in the Northern Song Dynasty, and his female fans are still unprecedentedly numerous.

"Qin Guan had previously met a woman named Bian Chaohua, and the two had a very deep relationship."

"Qin Guan was demoted to Hangzhou, and before he arrived, he was demoted to Chuzhou, where he was responsible for monitoring the liquor tax."

"He didn't want Chao Chaohua to suffer with him, so he proposed to break up."

"I thought we could just part ways and live happily ever after, but more than 20 days later, this infatuated woman came back again."

"She cried and swore to Qin Guan that she would never marry anyone else in her life and only wanted to follow him to the ends of the earth."

"Qin Guan's life became worse and worse, and even his house was taken back."

"No matter how bad my life is, it doesn't matter as long as she doesn't see it."

"Qin Guan didn't want the person he loved to suffer with him. This is great love."

"The characteristic of Qin Guan's love poems is that they are driven by true feelings, and the description of the scenery is as if it is right in front of you, naturally."

“Even when using allusions, they are fresh and unconventional without leaving any trace.”

"Having frequent dealings with monks, Shaoyou also shares the same sensibility with his teacher Su Shi regarding Buddhist culture."

"He revered the Buddhist doctrine of karma and reincarnation, and used copying scriptures to gain inner peace."

"But because of this action, he was convicted again, his official position and salary were stripped, and he was demoted to Chenzhou."

"Qin Guan went to Chenzhou. It is unknown how many horses died of exhaustion, but no official along the way was willing to meet him."

"Even the clerk who was escorting him was not in a good mood. He just urged him to keep going so that he could return and report as soon as possible."

"Perhaps it was while resting in the hostel that Qin Shaoyou wrote another superb work lamenting life."

"Although Chenzhou is not Qin Guan's hometown, he will soon be demoted to Hengzhou."

"And it was this river of spring water that carried with it his deep feelings of farewell."

"At this moment, Qin Guan's heart has become one with nature."

"In Hengzhou, Qin Guan spent the nights awake, crying and wearing his clothes. Soon he was sent to Leizhou."

"It was not until the second year of Yuanfu, when a general amnesty was issued, that Qin Guan began to move inland little by little."

"The following year, he met Su Dongpo in Leizhou and set out on his journey home with Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Countryside"."

"One day in August, Qin Guan came to Guanghua Pavilion in Tengzhou and took a rest while drinking."

"Shao You was thirsty after drinking, so the servant brought him a bowl of cold water. When the water arrived, he smiled and died."

"Qin Guan's poems have been influential in later generations and have lasted for a long time."

Li Shishi: Qin Guan, who had a rough fate, was full of frustration and his poems were filled with melancholy.

Qin Guan was the one Su Shi valued the most. His artistic achievements in writing poems were very high and he was extremely famous.

Qin's poems mainly describe love between men and women and lament the author's unfortunate life experience, and are quite sentimental.

He is also better at naturally combining the longings and memories, joys and sorrows, separations and reunions of men and women with the personal ups and downs of life.

For example, his "Qianqiu Sui·Beyond the Waterside and Sand" uses the description of spring scenery and emotions to focus on the intertwined present and past, political misfortunes and frustrations in love, and expresses the pain of exile and the sorrow of being a wanderer.

Beyond the sand by the water, the spring chill in the city walls recedes.

The flower shadows are in disarray, and the orioles' songs are fragmented.

The wine cup is empty and the clothes are loose at the time of parting.

No one can be seen, the green clouds are closing in the evening and the sky is empty.

Recalling the meeting at West Pond, egrets flew together under the canopy.

Who is there now where we held hands?
The sweet dream by the sun is broken, and the red face in the mirror has changed.

As spring goes, the flying red dots are as numerous as the sea of ​​sorrow.

The first stanza describes the scene before the eyes.

There is a heterogeneous isomorphic relationship between all things in the world and human psychology, and different forms cause different emotional tensions in people's psychology.

Therefore, scenery has an expressive effect.

The scenery images described in this poem are water, sand, flower shadows, and oriole sounds. The words used to express the movement and change of these images are edge, outside, retreat, chaos, and fragmentation.

The scenery itself is very fragmented and changing rapidly, corresponding to the restlessness, disorder and uneasiness in people's hearts.

Human affairs are like the shadows of flowers and the sounds of orioles, changeable and drifting. People don't even have time to care about the wine cup or have no mood to get close to each other. Their clothes are getting looser and the torture of separation makes them thinner.

The person I miss is nowhere to be seen, and I can only face the fading green clouds.

The second stanza recalls the grand event of the past.

Seeing the beautiful spring scenery outside Chuzhou City, the poet couldn't help but recall the memories of the West Pond Banquet in the past.

The phrase "egrets and cranes fly together" gives a high-level summary of the grand occasion of twenty-six people visiting the West Pond together.

Who is there now where we held hands? This is the poet's heartfelt love and a heartbreaking accusation against the Yuanyou Party Disaster.

The poet felt that the road ahead was uncertain and life was unpredictable, and a huge pain was gnawing at his soul.

Therefore, I can't help but cry out: Spring is gone, and the flying red dots are as sad as the sea.

This not only means that the spring of nature is passing away, but also implies that the spring of life will never return.

The word "spring" runs through the whole poem, including this spring and past spring, from mid-spring to late spring.

Using the imagery of the passing of spring and falling petals, and the span of time, it combines different times and spaces, feelings of past prosperity and present decline, and personal destiny into one.

It expresses the author's inconsolable sorrow and sadness caused by the collapse of his political ideals.

It creates a complete artistic conception, which makes the reader feel sad and mournful, and has the beauty of one chant and three sighs. (End of this chapter)
