Among the ancient writers, the poets were poor and labored

Directly to Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, who was at the same time as Han Yu, drew his own conclusions from the deeds and theories of Qu Yuan, Sima Qian and others. We can also see the shadow of "poor and then working" in "Li Du". "King Wen acted in "Zhou Yi"; Zhong Nieu's "Spring and Autumn"; Qu Yuan's exile is endowed with "Lisao"; Zuoqiu is blind and has "Chinese"; Sun Tzu's bare feet, "The Art of War" is revised; Buwei moved to Shu, and the hereditary "Lu Lan"; Han Fei imprisoned Qin, "Difficult to Say", "Lonely Anger"; There are 300 poems in "Poems", which are probably what the sages did when they were angry.

There are still many similarities between "working poorly" and "writing books in anger".

Du Fu, Du Fu lived in the historical period of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, Du Fu was born in a family of generations of "Confucian officials", and his family is knowledgeable. His early works mainly expressed ideals, aspirations, and desired life paths.

On the other hand, it shows his ideals of dedication to the monarch and the spirit of the customs, during which many works reflect the people's livelihood and turmoil at that time, expose the ugly behavior of the rulers, and embark on the life and creative road of worrying about the country and the people. As Tang Xuanzong became more and more corrupt in the later period, his life also fell into poverty and despair day by day.

Zhu Ziqing, after a long and tortuous road, was driven by the education of the dark reality and the patriotic democratic movement.

Poor and then worked, literature is lucky

Qu Yuan was exiled, Naifu "Leaving the Sao" Zuoqiu was blind, there were "Chinese", Sun Tzu was bare feet, "The Art of War" was revised, Buwei moved to Shu, the hereditary "Lü Lan", Han Fei imprisoned Qin, "Saying Difficult", "Lonely Indignation", "Poems" 300 articles, and the works of Da Qi Xiansheng were indignant. The above examples are all the talents of poets, literati, and politicians who burst out at the end of their ropes and when their lives were at a low ebb.

The title of the book translated by Lu Xun "Literature, the Symbol of Bitterness" all refers to this meaning, so we say that the poet's misfortune is the great fortune of literature.

Examples of poor and backward workers are:

After Du Fu was demoted, he created the famous article "The Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", in which "There are thousands of rooms in Guangxi, and the cold people in the world are happy" is even more popular;

After Han Yu's depreciation, he wrote the famous sentence "A letter plays nine heavens in the morning, and the eight thousand Chaozhou roads are degraded at night" in "Moving Left to Languan to Show Nephew Sun Xiang";

Jia Dao wrote the famous sentence "The bird stays in the tree by the pool, and the monk knocks on the door under the moon";

Zhang Jiuling's "Feelings" was also written after he was demoted;

Li Bai wrote "Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person";

After his death, Li Yu wrote poems such as "Poppy Beauty" and "Waves and Sands";

Su Shi's writings during the period when he was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou regiment reached an explosion, and they were all well-known. Such as: "Nian Nujiao, Chibi Nostalgia", "Water Tune Song Tou Huangzhou Kuaizai Pavilion Gift Zhang Weijia", "Man Jianghong, Zhu Envoy Jun Shouchang", "Man Tingfang, Thirty-three Years", "Bu Operator, Huangzhou Dinghui Courtyard Residence", etc.;

After Lu You was dismissed, he wrote famous works such as "Book Anger" and "You Shanxi Village", among which "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village" has become a widely circulated famous sentence;

After the dismissal, Xin Qiji wrote "Breaking the Array, Giving Strong Words to Chen Tongfu to Send It", "Yongyule Jingkou Beiguting Nostalgia", "Water Dragon Yin, Deng Jiankang Appreciation Pavilion", "Bodhisattva Man: Shujiangxi Ostomy Wall" and other masterpieces, denouncing the helplessness of reality.

For example, Liu Zongyuan, whose career was unsuccessful, but after being relegated to Liuzhou, he was in love with the landscape, and his prose creation achieved very high achievements, and his representative work is Yongzhou Baji.

The landlord said that poverty is the antonym of "work" Du Fu's poems in his early years were mostly bold and bright, not particularly good, this should be counted as "poor" But with the Anshi Rebellion, his poems gradually turned to the lowest level of the people, such as the three officials and three farewells, his later poems reflected the history of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, so his later poems supported the "work".

3. Great writers do not enter the world, and it is difficult to have friendshipsIn ancient times, there were many great writers who were mostly secluded, or did not enter the secular court. Therefore, their economy is very small, and there are very few people who can communicate when they are poor, so one has no money, and the other has no connections, so it has caused the fact of poverty. The most typical example is Cao Xueqin, who was so poor that she had no money to buy paper money on the day of her funeral, so she could only rely on burning books to pay tribute.

But perhaps it is because of the poverty in life that they can see the most real way in the world, so they can write popular works, which may be the so-called loss must be gained.

Many of the great writers of ancient times were idealistic, more principled and noble, and if they didn't want to do things that went against their hearts, they could easily be in a state of poverty.

Because most of the writers in ancient times had a bad career, and they often spent all their time drinking.

This is because the ancient Chinese literati did not have copyrights, and there was no so-called Federation of Literary and Art Circles to pay them salaries, and writing poems was all personal interest. If someone appreciates the article, someone will pay for them.

The theory of poverty and then work basically means that the more impoverished the literati became, the more they were able to create amazing works. The first person to put forward this idea was the Northern Song Dynasty.

Ouyang Xiu of the period.

There is such a passage in his article; "It is said that poets are few and poor, and those who pass on poems to the world are mostly poor people. Those who have everything and cannot be given to the world, are happy to put themselves outside the mountain top and water, see insects, fish, birds, beasts, wind and clouds, grass and trees, etc., often explore their strangeness, and there is a depression of worry and indignation, and they are happy in resentment, and sigh for widows with Taoism, and write about the unspeakable human feelings. The poorer you are, the more you work.

However, the non-poet can be poor, and the poor will be the poor. He explained the reason for "being poor and working later".

The so-called "poverty" of "poverty and then work" not only refers to the material "poverty" such as poor living conditions, poverty, and ups and downs in the official career, but also refers to the lack of remuneration for ambition and the fate of the country.

Worries about other psychological "poor".The so-called "work" literature is all articles that can be passed down to the world, and are both ideological and artistic. Almost all of these articles were born after the author went through a difficult life path. Qu yuan.

was killed by a traitor and exiled, full of enthusiasm to serve the country, but ended up like this, Qu Yuan endured grief and wrote "Lisao" angrily

This timeless masterpiece; Sun Bin was jealous, his knees were gouged out, and his skull was removed, he endured the pain of drilling his heart, and his ambition was unwavering, and he cultivated a masterpiece "Sun Bin Art of War".

Just like Mencius. Said; "Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, get up empty, and mess up what they do, so they are motivated to endure and gain what they cannot. "Suffice it to say that if these literati had not gone through the ordeal, they would not have created good literature. How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?

Poverty is a writer's misfortune, but it is a blessing for literature. It is precisely because of "poverty" that people's hearts can be stimulated, and people's hidden potentials can be activated, so that they can burst out with passionate and sad creativity and write strange essays that have been praised through the ages, and this kind of pain is very important to writers. Therefore, it is said that "poverty comes from work, and work comes from poverty."
