The short videos I watched from all dynasties

Han Dynasty, the third year of Yuanshou

Liu Che's eyes turned red with envy when he saw the Song army armor introduced on the sky curtain: "Such sophisticated weapons are still chased and attacked by foreign races. The Song is too useless."

He said to the official who was in charge of recording, "Draw their armor and clothing."

Seeing that their clothes were different from my Hanfu, Liu Che thought of a possibility. Could the Han Dynasty be the predecessor of the Song Dynasty? Then he shook his head again. How could it be possible? The Song Dynasty was not strong enough to fight against the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty still wants to pay annual tribute, which must mean that the economy is very prosperous."

"Tianmu said that the culture and economy of the Song Dynasty were very prosperous. Could it be that they had been living in peace for a long time and forgot about the war?"

"The Lame Dynasty! It values ​​economy and culture but neglects military preparations. In my opinion, the Song Dynasty will surely be destroyed by foreign races in the future."

...

Civil and military officials expressed their opinions, and basically recognized one fact: Song was vulnerable and nothing more than a pretty waste.

Liu Che sighed, "Born in sorrow and died in comfort."

The Qin, Han and Tang dynasties were very unhappy about the fact that the Song Dynasty was suppressed and beaten by foreign races. Since ancient times, it was our Central Plains dynasty that beat them, so how could we, the Central Plains dynasty, be beaten by them?

Ming Dynasty Hongwu 26th year

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said, "Grandson, you must remember the lessons of the Song Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty must not follow the old path of the Song Dynasty."

Zhu Yunwen nodded obediently: "I understand, Grandfather Emperor. We should learn from history."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, thinking that those unfilial sons should be on the way.

After watching too many videos criticizing history, it became boring. When Li Ranran was flipping through the videos, she suddenly saw the title:

【Tengwang Pavilion as described by Wang Bo】

(Using drones to show the Tengwang Pavilion at dusk from all angles.)

＜The Tengwang Pavilion has been rebuilt more than 20 times in history. Alas, the real Tengwang Pavilion is so beautiful in Wang Bo’s writing＞

＜The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color＞

<Fact: The current Tengwang Pavilion was rebuilt in 1985 with reference to Mr. Liang Sicheng's manuscript. Tengwang Pavilion was rebuilt and destroyed many times in history>

＜Because of the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng written by Wang Bo, the Pavilion of Prince Teng has been continuously rebuilt despite the vicissitudes of life＞

＜Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng: The Greatest Parallel Prose in the History＞

＜Wang Bo also died young…＞

＜God is jealous of talents…＞

＜He was not suitable to be an official. He is a genius, but it is difficult to judge him＞

＜ ??? Tengwang Pavilion was very famous in Tang and Song dynasties. It would still be a famous building even without Wang Bo＞

＜［狗头］Uploader, your coloring is really beautiful＞

＜Those who want to come and play must lower their expectations.＞

＜All reinforced concrete ……＞

＜The original purpose of rebuilding Tengwang Pavilion was to express nostalgia and to get a glimpse of ancient culture. If you dislike the steel and concrete, don’t come＞

＜If you are looking for trouble, don't click in＞

……

The comments went from discussing the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng to lamenting Wang Bo and finally turned into a complete quarrel.

Oh, can I still enjoy it properly? Slide to the next video.

Tang Dynasty, the first year of Qianfeng

Prince Pei's Palace

??? Tianmu, can you please explain to me why I died young? ! !

Wang Bo was shocked. He was only 18 years old this year! What year did this untimely death happen?

Although Li Xian, the Prince of Pei, knew that Wang Bo was a talented writer, he did not expect that he would become so famous in the future. He secretly thought that he would always keep Wang Bo by his side in the future, and it would be best if he could ask him to write a poem about the Prince of Pei, so that he would also become famous after it was passed down to future generations.

As for dying young, Li Xian wasn't worried at all. With her by his side, what else could happen to him?

Suddenly, I remembered that my third brother said he would come to the palace to fight cocks with me in ten days. Humph! Then I will ask Wang Bo to write an article about cockfighting for me, so that my third brother will envy me.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, did not expect that he had such a talented person under him, so he asked someone to bring Wang Bo to meet him.

Although Tianmu said that he was not suitable for being an official, so what? He would just give him a sinecure for fun.

Literati from all walks of life were so jealous that Wang Bo became famous just by writing the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, and made later generations so emotional. People born before Wang Bo were not very convinced, but those born after him could not help but start reciting and writing the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, and they were more accepting and regretful than jealous.

Li Ranran didn't expect that the next video would be related to Tengwang Pavilion. She clicked on the video with the purpose of continuing to broaden her horizons.

[Why is "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" called the best parallel prose in history? 】

【Wang Bo, one of the Four Great Scholars of the Early Tang Dynasty, wrote poems at the age of 6, essays at the age of 9, became an official at the age of 16, was expelled from Chang'an at the age of 18 for his cockfighting proclamation, and at the age of 22, while serving as a military officer in Guozhou, he hid the criminal Cao Da. Later, fearing that the news would leak out, he killed Cao Da and was sentenced to death and imprisoned. This incident also implicated his father Wang Fuzhi, who was demoted from Yongzhou Sigong Military Officer to Jiaozhi County Magistrate and exiled to the southern wilderness. This incident dealt a greater blow to Wang Bo than to punish himself.

Fortunately, the court announced a general amnesty and restored his old position, but Wang Bo did not accept it. At the age of 26, he passed by Tengwang Pavilion and left the famous "Tengwang Pavilion Preface". At the age of 27, Wang Bo came to Wang Fuzhi, the magistrate of Jiaozhi County, and met his father who was living in poverty. Wang Bo felt a strong sense of guilt and self-blame.

Soon after, Wang Bo set out on his journey home. It was summer when he fell into the water and died of shock. No one could have imagined that "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" would become Wang Bo's last work.

【 In 675 AD, the second year of Emperor Gaozong's reign, the governor of Hongzhou, Yan, held a meeting on September to celebrate the completion of Tengwang Pavilion. He asked his son-in-law, Wu Zizhang, to write a preface to honor his name. Unexpectedly, when all the guests pretended to be humble, Wang Bo took up his pen and wrote it. 】

【At first, Mr. Yan left the table in anger, but when he heard "Yuzhang, the old county, Hongdu, the new capital", he thought it was just average; then, "The stars are divided into Yi and Zhen, and the land is connected to Heng and Lu", Mr. Yan was silent; when he heard "The setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color", he was shocked and said, "This is a true genius, and he will be immortal!" After praising him, Mr. Yan hurried back to the banquet and expressed his appreciation for Wang Bo generously, and both the host and the guests were happy for a while. 】

[Why is "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" considered the best parallel prose throughout the ages? ]

[The entire "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" consists of 773 characters, quoting 23 allusions, including more than 40 idioms and countless famous quotes.]

[Appreciating autumn: The setting sun and the solitary wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color

When lonely: The mountains and rivers are hard to cross, who will pity the lost? We are all strangers in a foreign land.

When you are confused: Although the North Sea is far away, it can be reached by rising moon; although the morning sun has passed, it is not too late to celebrate the evening.

When you grow old: You should be stronger as you grow older, and never give up your ambitions. When you are poor, you should be more resolute, and never give up your ambitions.

(The entire Tengwang Pavilion Preface is played on the other side of the video.)

Wang Bo used the strong character of early Tang literature to cleanse the soft style of the Six Dynasties, inheriting and surpassing the achievements of Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties parallel prose. Yang Jiong, who was also one of the Four Great Poets of the Early Tang Dynasty, praised Wang Bo's poems in the "Preface to Wang Bo's Anthology": "Strong but not empty, strong but moist, carved but not broken, pressed and firm." These four sentences are also the best description of "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng".

Mo Daocai commented on Wang Bo's parallel prose: "He inherited the artistic achievements of Xu and Yu in parallel prose, but also injected a fresh style and invigorated it with a free and unrestrained spirit, thus changing the complicated parallel prose into elegant, and the sluggish into smooth, creating a contemporary style with lofty atmosphere and lively charm, thus taking it to a higher level on the basis of Xu and Yu." Such an evaluation can also be applied to "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng".

The title of "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" as the best parallel prose in history is not in vain.

＜Don’t write cockfighting manifestos＞

＜Li Zhi drove Wang Bo out because he thought he was corrupting his son.＞

＜Wang Bo still doesn’t know how to be an official.＞

＜I didn’t understand the situation at that time.＞

＜I can still recite this article now, with neat parallelism and gorgeous yet not empty rhetoric.＞

＜I memorized it before, but now I have forgotten it.＞

＜I really can’t imagine that this was written impromptu, Wang Bo is really talented.＞

＜I just remember that this article is full of allusions, and there are so many annotations below the text... [tears]＞

＜In parallel prose, the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng overwhelms all other articles.＞

＜Alas, I miss the Chinese language class in high school…I couldn’t calm down to read these before, and rarely understood their meaning. When I grew up, I realized that ancient poems and verses can describe the vicissitudes of life in just a few words. What has the years brought us? [crying]＞

＜Motto: "Growing up stronger, I will not give up my ambition even when I am old; poverty makes me stronger, I will not give up my ambition even when I am poor." ［狗头］＞

……

When the entire Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng was played, the literati from all walks of life in the world could no longer express their disapproval.

Wang Bo is truly a genius!

Han Dynasty, the third year of Yuanshou

Huo Qubing, Wei Qing and other ministers were still watching the sky curtain outside the palace. Some of them were discussing in a low voice with people around them with embarrassed expressions.

Liu Che was immersed in the poem. The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng is indeed the best parallel prose in the history. I don't know what Sima Xiangru is like. He also wrote a lot of fu for me. I don't know if they have been passed down through the ages and recited by later generations...

Li Guang saw this sentence with sharp eyes: [Feng Tang is easy to grow old, but Li Guang is hard to be promoted. ]

Feng Tang knew that he was not valued during the reigns of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, and when Your Majesty ascended the throne and wanted to use him, he was already over ninety years old and could no longer serve as an official.

It would be difficult for Li Guang to be promoted... When he thought about what he had said before, that his son Li Gan was also killed by Huo Qubing due to a misunderstanding... Li Guang's mentality completely collapsed.

Liu Che also saw this sentence, which was quite embarrassing. He had been planning to comfort Li Guang after Huo Qubing killed Li Gan, so that they wouldn't be wary. But now it was difficult to confer a title on Li Guang? He asked himself that he was not a stingy person. If Li Guang could meet the criteria for being conferred a title of nobility, he would not refuse to give it to him.

So it was definitely not his fault! It was Li Guang's fault for not being able to make progress. Liu Che completed his psychological transformation and looked at Li Guang naturally.

Li Guang's face turned red and his eyes were wide open.

Liu Che still comforted him: "I know how loyal the general is." After a pause, he came to Li Guang and said: "You have killed the enemies on the battlefield and defeated the Huns. You have made great contributions. Why can't you worry about not being granted a title of nobility?" I am still kind and merciful.

Li Guang thought about it and felt that the emperor still liked him.

"I will never let your majesty down!"

Liu Che thought, why not confer a title of nobility on Li Guang after the next battle?

Tang Dynasty, the first year of Qianfeng

"Because I wrote the cockfighting manifesto, will I be expelled from Chang'an this year?"

"In another four years I'm in jail for murder?"

"I drowned and died of shock?"

“The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng is so well written!”

"What a sight! The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color."

"Ugh!"

After Wang Bo knew how he died, he became depressed.

With just a few words from Tianmu, he described his short life. Perhaps he really would never become an official.

King Pei Li Xian was very embarrassed. When he learned that Wang Bo appeared on the sky curtain, he came to him and wanted him to write an article about cockfighting.

When Li Xian found out that it was the article he asked him to write that caused Wang Bo to be driven out of Chang'an, he felt extremely guilty and decided to stop writing.

At this time, the person who invited Wang Bo into the palace also arrived.
