Du Mu, the first romantic genius in Tang Dynasty

Any news for Han Chuo, Yangzhou magistrate? Du Mu

There is water in the green hills, and the vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River is withered in autumn.

On the moonlit night of the 24th Bridge, where can jade people teach to blow Xiao?

Du Mu can be regarded as the first romantic genius in Tang Dynasty. Many of his poems have stories behind them. The new study room, Biography of Tang Talents? Volume 6 "Du Mu Articles" also describes two things about Du Mu, and the article says:

The pastoral beauty is good at singing and dancing, and has quite a amorous feeling, so she can't restrain herself. At that time, Huainan said that it was prosperous and did not reduce Beijing. And many prostitutes are stunning, and shepherds are completely convinced. Niu went all out after collecting the report from the street collector to Secretary Du Ping.

Later, Luoyang was enfeoffed by the suggestion. At that time, Li Situ lived in seclusion, and prostitutes were the first at that time. He gave a banquet for scholars and dared not invite them. The shepherd boy called Li Cao and said, "Smell the voice of Ziyun, who can sing and be a good dancer?" It was I who gave a poem saying,' Today's feast in Huatang is wonderful. Who will call for division and suggestions? Suddenly, I went crazy and surprised everyone. Two lines of tea will be back soon. "I am carefree. If there is no one, I will be different."

The first paragraph tells the story of Du Mu and Niu Zengru in Yangzhou, and the second paragraph tells the story of Du Mu as an empire in Luoyang.

Read the first story first. Du Mu was conceited since he was a teenager, so once he felt that he could not be reused in the imperial court, so he followed Niu Zengru to Yangzhou. Du Mu was still young when he was in Yangzhou. I guess he just won the Jinshi. Niu Zengru was our ambassador to Huainan in Yangzhou, apparently the head of the local military and political affairs. Du Mu served as the secretary of our envoy under Niu Zengru. Yangzhou was an absolute tourist destination at that time, with developed economy, enlightened culture, prosperous society and rich people. At night, it is even more colorful. Advocating that there are thousands of crimson lanterns upstairs, shining in the night sky; In Sanbujie, the pearls are green, just like a fairyland. Du Mu is like a duck to water in Yangzhou. In addition to doing his job well, he lingered in Yanhua Lane every night, and almost no night passed. Niu Zengru was afraid of his accident, so he secretly sent more than 30 ranks, put on plain clothes and secretly protected them for several years. Of course, Mutu didn't know this, and he didn't think it would be noticed. Later, Du Mu was recruited as an imperial consultant to do discipline inspection. When Niu Zengru gave him a farewell dinner, he warned him that if he wants to do a good job in discipline inspection, he must first behave properly, and he is often informal in the romantic arena, which is not in line with his status. Du Mu immediately explained, fortunately, I can often introspect, so you don't have to worry all the time. Niu Zengru smiled and said nothing. He just asked the servant to show Du Mu a small box. It turns out that every day is the secret report of the ranks, which reads, one day, Secretary Du will go to a certain house and be safe; One night, Secretary Du went to a house for dinner, and it was safe. When Du Mu saw his shame, he cried and thanked Niu Zengru for his life.

Later, Du Mu also wrote a poem for his life in Yangzhou, entitled "Legacy": "Down and out in the south of the Yangtze River with wine, his waist folded lightly. Ten years of Yangzhou dream, brothel reputation! "

Although Du Mu was grateful to Niu Zengru, he didn't listen to his advice. Look at the second story. Du Mu did a period of discipline inspection in Luoyang. It happened that Li Situ left office at home and often hosted family dinners to entertain celebrities from all walks of life. At that time, prostitutes in Li Jiasheng were second to none in luxury, and many celebrities in Luoyang were invited here one after another. Unfortunately, Du Mu was in charge of discipline inspection at that time. Lao Li didn't want to invite him, for fear that other public officials would feel embarrassed if he came. But Du Mou felt that such a good thing could not be missed, so he sent a message to Lao Li through other guests, saying that Du Mou wanted to attend your party. Lao Li had to write an invitation. At the banquet, Du Mu began to eat and drink in a serious way, no one was watching. When hundreds of geisha danced and many guests were ecstatic, Du Mu was still drinking alone. Occasionally, he looked up at the beautiful geisha and just nodded or shook his head without talking. Suddenly, Du Mu began to stare at the front with his eyes. After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, he dared to ask Lao Li, "I heard there is a Ziyun. I don't know who it is? " Lao Li immediately pointed it out to him, and Du Mu stared at him again and sighed: "Well, it really lives up to its reputation! Give her to me. " When Lao Li heard this, he immediately threw his mind out of the cloud nine and laughed at once, which led the geisha to laugh along with his master's laughter. As soon as the atmosphere became lively, Du Mu drank three more glasses of wine, then stood up and shouted, "Huatang has a wonderful feast today. Who called for advice? " Occasionally, I was shocked by madness, and the triple face came back for a while! "Du Mu carefree appearance makes all the guests present very happy. This poem is Du Mu's masterpiece "The Works of the Ministers of the Ministry of War" (for example, this poem was recorded from Fan Chuan's Bieji and Talented Persons of the Tang Dynasty? Volume 6 ",slightly different).

The five dynasties king's "Tang Yan? In the thirteenth volume, there is also a story about Tu Mu and Zhang Hu. Wen Yue:

"Zhang Hu is a guest of Huainan, went to the banquet. Du Weizhi, there is something to choose from in the South Block. He wanted dice to bet on wine, and Mu Wei said,' Dice is wrapped in your hand, and you see jade for no reason.' He replied,' but it seems that you have to show your fingertips when you report the fall of Chai Jin.' "
