Historical Book Review

Old Tang Book

I am aware of Yuan’s policies, Bai’s memorials, and the secrets of articles, and the roots of chaos. It is not just a few words of chanting or chanting, or a novel about Pan Yu. When it comes to literary practice, you are a good place to live. Rest in a place of self-satisfaction and place a tool in a place of peace. Isn’t it a wise man to be a good person?

Praise: The article is new in style, Jian'an, Yongming, Shen, Xie, Yuan, Bai Tingsheng. But he has gold and stone, and has stems. If he is not familiar with Sun Wu, how can he know how to use military force?

New Tang Book

When Juyi first tried to strive for the right way, he fought for safety and danger in front of the emperor, hoping to make achievements. Although he was reprimanded, he would not decline later. When Zongmin was in power, he was in a state of progress and never followed Li as an enterprising plan. He was very proud of his integrity. However, he was in danger of becoming the prime minister and his reputation was high. Alas! Juyi was so virtuous!

The biography of the genius of Tang

Gong's poems are based on six meanings and do not appreciate difficulties. Every time he finished his poems, he would ask his old woman to read them and then read them. Later generations commented on Bai's poems, "like the elders from Shandong who taught farming and sericulture, and their words were true." The Jilin State sold them to the prime minister, and the articles were sold to the prime minister, and those who were fake could distinguish them. They were very good at glue lacquer, and the sound was the same as Yuan Zhen. The world was called "Yuan Bai". Yuan Shu was as famous as Liu Binke, and called "Liu Bai". Gong liked gods and immortals, made flying clouds and shoes, burned incense and feet, like shaking smoke, and slowly grew clouds. He first came to Jiujiang, lived under Lufu Peak, built a cottage, and burned elixirs. It is still alive. There are 75 episodes of "Bai Shi Changqing Collection", as well as the facts written in ancient and modern times, which are "Six Tie", and the writing methods of poetry, and wanted to get rid of their own illness. It was called "Bai Shi Jin Needle Collection" three volumes, which were in parallel with the world.

Evaluation from generation to generation

Tang Dynasty

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty wrote a poem about Bai Juyi: "For sixty years, who taught me to write a poem about the underworld? The name of the floating clouds is not based on Juyi, and the word "Letian" is indescribable. The boy explained the song of eternal regret, and the Hu'er could sing the pipa. The article is full of people, and I was sad for me once." This poem can be used as a summary of Bai Juyi's life.

Five Dynasties and Song Dynasty

The old and old Tang books also have different evaluations of Bai Juyi. The old Tang books highly affirmed Bai Juyi's literary achievements: "In the past, the talented man in Jian'an was determined to dominate Cao and Liu; Yongming gave resignations to the emperor, first made merits and thanks. Yuanhe was the leader of the alliance, and only to be optimistic. I observed Yuan's policy, Bai's memorials, and the great secrets of articles, and the roots of chaos. It is not just a piece of lyrics and verses, or a novel about Panyu. As for literary practice, Juyi is the best, and he is at ease in the place of self-satisfaction, and he is in a place of peace, and is not a virtuous person." The new Tang books describe Bai Juyi as "sophisticated in the articles" , but he is the most skillful in poetry." He also said: "Juyi was famous in Yuanhe and Changqing, and was best at poetry. His writing was not called a good example." However, the book of Tang Dynasty gave a very high affirmation of Bai Juyi's character: "When Juyi first tried to strive for the straight road, and fought for safety in front of the emperor, hoping to make contributions. Although he was rejected in the middle, he would not be defeated later. When Zongmin was in power, he was not attached to Li as an enterprising plan, and he was highly loyal. However, the way of Zhen was in danger of becoming the prime minister and his reputation was high. He shouted, "Juyi was so virtuous!" This change in evaluation may be closely related to the rise of the ancient prose movement in the Song Dynasty.

Su Shi's evaluation of Bai Juyi was also inconsistent. Su Shi once proposed the saying that "Yuan is light on Bai's vulgarity" and had a lot of criticisms about Yuan Bai's poetry style. However, later he often compared himself to Bai Juyi, such as "I am like an old lay Buddhist in Xiangshan, and the world's fate is shallow and deep." Another example is "I have been away for 16 years, and then stayed there for two years. I have realized that my origins are as thick as the young and old as the world's best. Although my talents and reputations are far apart, I am still at peace and have few people." Su Shi's poems about Bai Juyi also have comments on "Bai Gong's poems in his later years are extremely brilliant."
