You don't need to be literate to give birth, and cockfighting is better than reading.

The Jia family is thirteen years old, and the wealth and glory are not as good.

It can make the gold distance win or lose, and the white Luo embroidered shirt is soft.

When his father died thousands of miles away from Chang'an, he sent his husband to hold the funeral car.

Appreciation] This ballad is about the adventures of Jia Chang, a child in Chang'an who is known as the "Divine Chicken Boy", but the object of satire is obviously not only Jia Chang. He was only a thirteen-year-old boy after all. "You don't need to be literate to give birth to a child, and it is better to fight a than to study", just like "so that the hearts of parents in the world will not be reborn as a boy and a girl", it is an angry word, and it is also a portrayal of abnormal social psychology.

People ask: Who is doing this? What did you do?

How can a small cockfighting skill win the wealth and glory of the world? "Soft opinion" is the car that the emperor rides and walks with people. The sentence "Bai Luo embroidered shirt with soft opinion", there are people in it, and they are about to come out.

It turns out that the current emperor loves cockfighting, so the "god chicken boy" has become a celebrity around the emperor. There are many poems satirizing the emperor in Tang poems, either of which are pretexts of different generations, or of songs, most of which are subtle and tactful. Such a bold and straightforward person who ridicules the emperor in spicy language is rare to see in literati poetry, and only folk songs can make such quick words.

The whole poem depicts two scenes, one is Jia Chang's eastward tour, and the other is his father's return to Yongzhou. Let's take a look at the first scene first, "Bai Luo embroidered shirt with soft opinion". In a heavily guarded, tense and solemn atmosphere, a thirteen-year-old boy, dressed in a gorgeous white embroidered shirt and carrying three hundred crowing red-crowned roosters, followed closely behind the emperor's majestic and luxurious soft opinion, swaggering forward, which was truly an unprecedented spectacle.

Xuanzong's trip was to go to Mount Tai to hold a grand ceremony of sealing Zen, boasting of his great achievements in "obeying the orders of heaven" and governing the country and the people. According to Chen Hong's "Biography of the Old Father of Dongcheng", it is recorded: "In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, (Jia Chang) had 300 cage chickens, and he was from Dongyue.

It is not said that he followed closely behind the "soft public opinion", but the poem uses an almost caricature technique to make this historical fact an artistic exaggeration, with a clear image and a prominent theme.

Let's look at the second scene, "The poor man holds the road to save the funeral car". Jia Chang's father, Jia Zhong, was a guard of Tang Xuanzong and died at the foot of Mount Tai. "Father is more precious than son", along the way, the officials were the big celebrity god chicken boy Jia Chang in front of the emperor, and they did not hesitate to mobilize the people for him, recruit people, and take care of the coffin along the way.

The deceased was not a relative of the emperor, but the father of a cockfighting child, but he forced countless laborers to shake his prestige for him, this scene can not be ridiculous! The poem is full of ridicule, contempt, and anger between the lines.

The two scenes constitute a satirical comedy. There is a group of white noses in the play, and the protagonist is Tang Xuanzong Li Longji who is sitting in the soft public opinion. This comedy has a vivid image and strong effect, and when we read it thousands of years later, we not only can't help but laugh, but also seem to hear the laughter and scolding of the common people at that time.

This is the artistic charm of this poem.

One is irony, even cockfighting can be rich and expensive, and I also have a personal point of view that the world is so big that it has created countless hidden industries, as long as you are willing to find that nothing is impossible.

You don't need to be literate to give birth, and cockfighting is better than reading.

Chicken nursery rhyme Born children do not need to be literate, cockfighting is better than reading.

The Jia family's children are thirteen years old, and they are not as good as the rich and glorious generations.

It can make the gold distance win or lose, and the white Luo embroidered shirt is soft.

The father died in Chang'an, and the thousand sedan chairs were prepared inside and out, and the husband held the road to save the funeral car.

This ballad was produced during the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and was written about the story of Jia Chang, the "Chicken Boy". According to Chen Hong's "Biography of the Old Father of Dongcheng" in the Tang Dynasty: Jia Chang, a native of Xuanyang, Chang'an.

Tang Xuanzong traveled, saw Chang Lane wooden chicken next to Yunlongmen Road, and then called in as a chicken shop child. Chang into the flock of chickens, such as the small flock, the strong, the weak, the brave, the cowardly, when the valley of the water, the time of the disease, can be known. Raise two chickens, chickens are afraid and tame, so that the order is like a person.

In the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan, Changyi fought clothes, and Xuanzong was in the hot springs, and the world was called "Chicken Boy" at that time.

During the Tang Dynasty, the world was extravagant, and Xuanzong himself also loved cockfighting, so many people who were good at cockfighting were favored, and these cockfighters often relied on power and oppressed the good. Li Bai has a satire on cockfighters in "Ancient Style: The Big Car Flying Dust". And Jia Chang is one of the representatives.

Look at the young man of the Najia family, he is just thirteen years old, and the wealth and luxury of the family are far inferior to many big families. Jia Chang was highly skilled and able to command the chickens, anticipating victory and defeat, and he commanded the cockfights in a white silk shirt embroidered with patterns, followed by ornately decorated rides. Jia Chang's father died under Mount Tai, thousands of miles away in Chang'an, and Jia Chang was ordered to support the coffin and be buried, and the county officials along the way sent messengers to serve, guide, and lead the hearse.
