Ancient poems describing flattery
The first song: Li Jing, a master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, loves fishing. He once took actor Li Jiaming and a group of followers to go fishing by the pond. Li Jiaming was lucky enough to catch a few fish soon, but Li Jing's fishing rod did not move. Excavate the boss in the heart is not happy, but it is inconvenient to attack. Li Jiaming, seeing that China's main face was sad, tactfully reported to the main face and asked for a poem about his fishing. After being awarded, he donated:
The jade hook is in full swing,
Bichi spring warm water dissolves.
Where the scales dare not swallow the bait,
Knowing is the king fishing for dragons.
The emperor reigns in the world, and fishing is naturally different from ordinary people. Ordinary fish are not even qualified to take the bait. Only the dragon is equipped with a hook. Flattery really worked, and Jing Li's face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and the opportunity ended the disappointing fishing.
The second song: If you meet a cruel killer, you have to dig hard and choose good words to save your head. Du Xunhe, who was famous for his poems in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote a flattering poem in this situation. At that time, Zhu Wen was named Liang Wang, with four towns and was in power for a period of time. Zhu Wen was cruel and strong-willed, and the people around him were slightly satisfied and executed immediately. For such a murderous demon, Du Xunhe, eager to be an official, risked his life to ask for audience. After Du Xunhe arrived in Luoyang, he posted an audience and waited for a long time before being summoned. On this day, Du Xunhe carefully walked into Zhu Wen's toilet. When it was sunny and drizzling, Zhu Wen thought it was a strange thing, so he asked Du Xunhe to write a poem about it. The quality of poetry is not only related to the official position you miss so much, but also to life and death. Du Xunhe is naturally full of energy, racking his brains to think about auspicious and beautiful things. Finally, God helps others and sings a poem:
Unlike being Kun,
Rain is flying in the sun gear.
If you teach rain or shine,
Competing for the dining table, Liang Wang made the chemical industry!
Attached is the natural phenomenon of solar rain, as a tribute to Zhu Wen by God. Zhu Wen was flattered and flattered, and praised Du Xunhe greatly. After Zhu Wen usurped the throne of the Tang Dynasty, he was awarded Du Xun and Hanlin Bachelor.
The third song: The situation encountered by Zong Ling, a monk in the early Ming Dynasty, was even more sinister. Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou, the Ming Taizu, are husband and wife in distress and have deep feelings. Unfortunately, Mao died first, and when Zhu Yuanzhang was sad, the day of burial was stormy and thunderous. Zhu Yuanzhang was very depressed and invited Zong Ling to ask why. Zhu Yuanzhang's words are wrong, which will make your head fall to the ground. It is natural for Zong Ling to fully respond. When he moves forward, his brain will turn rapidly all the way. Before Zhu Yuanzhang had an idea, that is, to answer with a poem:
Rain falls, tears fall,
Mourn in the thunder.
Western Buddhists,
Give the horse to the Tathagata.
Ma Houzun was regarded as the Buddha's Tathagata, and even a thunderstorm mourned her, and the Bodhisattva came to see her off. This kind of weather is a blessing from heaven, which is very auspicious. Zhu Yuanzhang's unhappiness therefore flew to the outside of the cloud nine, and Zong Ling escaped this robbery.
The fourth poem: Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, was spared the sin of a large group of monks because of a flattering poem. When Zhu Yuanzhang was young, he worked as a monk in Huang Jue Temple and wrote poems on the temple wall. When I became an emperor, I revisited my hometown, and the poems on the wall had long since disappeared. He flew into a rage and wanted to take it out on all the monks in the temple. Seeing that disaster was imminent, the abbot wrote poems to shirk his responsibility, saying: the sacred poems dare not stay, and ghosts and gods are worried about the poem wall. I would like to wash the water gently, and there will still be dragon shooting bullfights.
A few words of coaxing ghosts are really outrageous, but Zhu Yuanzhang was elated and triumphant, and an arrival disaster vanished.
The fifth song: During the reign of the Tang dynasty's heirs, Zhongzong wanted to follow in the footsteps of Wu Zetian, exert great power in the palace, and tried his best to crowd out Zhongzong and seize power. A group of snobs in NaGong followed Wei Hou, scrambling to please and curry favor with him. At a banquet held in the palace, an actress lost no time in singing Echo Words: Just be afraid of women when echoing. Only Pei is talking outside, but there is no Li Lao inside.
Pei Tan, an ancient physician at that time, was a famous hen-pecked wife in the imperial palace, and "Li Lao" refers to Zhongzong. In order to kiss the queen Wei's ass, the actor showed the emperor's ugliness. After Wei was photographed, he was elated and stared at Zhongzong triumphantly. The cowardly Zhongzong only smiled helplessly. On the other hand, the actor got a big reward from Wei Hou for his flattery.
The sixth song: the snobbery and flattery of the literati are not inferior to that actress. Ruan Yuan was an important official in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. He rose to the top by flattering poems. Ruan Yuan first worked in imperial academy, and his official position was not high. One year, imperial academy held a big exam, presided over by Gan Long himself. The poetic title of the exam is Glasses. Ruan Yuan learned from Xiao Shenyang that Gan Long didn't wear glasses before, so he was able to figure out the meaning confidently and deliberately wrote a long poem. The last four sentences of his poem are the most disgusting: why bother reading it? Don't blame him. A saint is not an emperor, but he has a long life.
There are two pupils in the eye called "double pupils". It is said that Shun was born with a big pupil, so "big pupil" became a symbol of a saint. Ganlong's eyesight is very good, so he doesn't need to wear glasses. Ruan Yuan touted it as an ancient sage-Shun. The poem scratched the itch of Qianlong, and Ruan Yuan was promoted to the first class. From then on, the official career flourished, and later the official went to the governor and the governor.
Seventh: Ruan Yuan, an important official in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, rose to a very high position by flattering poems. Many years later, recalling the past, he wrote a poem smugly: Gao Zongshou was eighty years old and had no eyes to see. I gave glasses poems to praise kindness.
Mimi is another name for glasses. The self-satisfaction in the poem is beyond words.
Eighth: Wang Mian at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty was regarded as a model of hermit in The Scholars. This image was deeply rooted in people's hearts and seemed to be his own brand. In fact, he also has a vulgar personality. Wang Mian and gifted scholars are ambitious, but in troubled times, there is nothing they can do. Later, I was very excited to see Zhu Yuanzhang, the "Mr. Right", so I wrote a poem "Mei Ying Jiao" to brag that the west wind blew people down and dried up all over the land. Hu Er froze to death under the Great Wall, only then did he believe that there was another spring in Jiangnan.
The last sentence boasted that Jiangnan under Zhu Yuanzhang's jurisdiction was warm and beautiful as spring, which was in sharp contrast with the sinister environment described in the first three sentences. Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very happy, and immediately awarded Wang Mian the position of counselor to join the army. However, Wang Mian was so unlucky that he was miserable as soon as he took office.
The ninth song: someone kowtows to the horse's leg. They wanted to flatter him, but they were set on fire and even killed. In the early Ming Dynasty, the monk came back from Jiangxi and was called to Beijing to set up the Dharma Association. Once Zhu Yuanzhang gave a banquet and wrote a poem to express his gratitude: the golden plate came to the special venue and the jade bowl went from top to bottom. I am ashamed of myself and praise Tao Tang.
According to the poem, at the banquet, we ordered exotic styrax and drank the unique food in the sky, and all kinds of delicious food were listed on the table. It's a pity that we received such delicious food ourselves. Originally a flattering poem, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was very suspicious, smelled a strange smell. The meaning of the first sentence "special field" is foreign, but Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that the word "special" is "bad" and "Zhu", which is tantamount to pointing to Zhu Yuanzhang's own nose. Zhu Yuanzhang then flew into a rage and came back with a beheading, which was really unexpected.
Song 10: Being beaten and being photographed is all due to status. Once the role changes, the person who is photographed will also become a photographer. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people were old, lived a dissolute life, loved to listen to pleasant words, and were surrounded by a group of hooligans. Chen died in the Sui Dynasty, and the late king was reduced to a prisoner. Losing power and influence made him grovel and flatter the rulers of Sui Dynasty. When Emperor Wendi of Sui accompanied him to Mangshan, he took the opportunity to compose a poem: The sun and the moon are all virtuous, and the mountains and rivers are strong. Peace is not reported, and I hope to seal the book in the east.
"East Seal Book" refers to the closed Zen book. Ancient emperors often went to Mount Tai to pray for blessings to show that they were the only thrill and that kingship was given by heaven. In the poem, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty eulogized his boundless merits and was fully qualified to go to Mount Tai to meditate, and would like to write a meditation book on his behalf. The minions fought against each other, and as the king of national subjugation, their status plummeted.
In the poetry teaching advocated by Confucius, there are "Xing, Guan, Qun and Yuan", in which "Qun" means that poetry can help people communicate their feelings. His old gentleman never imagined that later generations would use poetry to shoot horses to communicate their feelings, which is very generous!
