Anecdotes and allusions
First, the origin of Li Bai's name
When Li Bai was seven years old, his father wanted to give his son a formal name. Li Bai's parents love reading, and they want to train their son to be an elegant and refined person. Father usually likes to teach his children to read books and write poems. When he was brewing a name, he discussed with his mother and tested his son's ability to write poems when he was walking in the courtyard.
my father looked at the lush trees and flowers in the courtyard in spring, and began to recite poems: "Spring brings warmth and flowers, and it comes first in spring." Mother went on to say, "The burning leaves and the red clouds fall." Li Bai knew that his parents had recited the first three sentences of the poem and deliberately left the last sentence, hoping to continue it himself. He walked to the front of the blooming plum tree flower, thought for a moment and said, "Plum flowers are in full bloom."
"white"-doesn't it say the holiness and elegance of plum flowers? The father had a brainwave and decided to choose the words "Li" and "Bai" at the beginning and end of the wonderful sentence as the child's name, so he named his seven-year-old son "Li Bai".
Second, Du Fu angrily denounced the royal family
An Shi Rebellion. Du Fu thinks that the practice of those in power who only care about their own enjoyment regardless of people's livelihood will definitely lead to the ruin of the country. So he wrote a poem that was later selected into the famous anthology "3 Tang Poems", that is, a seven-character long poem entitled "two for the road". This poem has become a veritable "epic" because of its bold satire and profound exposure of the Yang family's hot luxury life.
Third, the source of Lu You's name
Lu Zai (188-1148) Xiao Qin Guan (149-11) was forty years old. When Qin Guan died, Lu Zai was less than thirteen years old. When Qin Guan arrived in Yuezhou, Lu Zai was not born yet, and it was even more impossible for Lu You's mother to have any contact with Qin Guan. And after Mrs. Tang, Lu You's mother, became a famous family, even if she really dreamed of Qin Guan, she would never make it public. Therefore, "Dreams are born with little travel" is purely an imaginary word.
Fourth, Dongpo Meat
Su Shi himself is a gourmet, and there are many records of Su Shi's invention of food in Song Dynasty's note novels. When Su Shi knew Hangzhou, during May and June of Yuanyou five years, there was heavy rain in western Zhejiang and Taihu Lake flooded. Su Shi directed the dredging of the West Lake and the construction of Su Causeway. People in Hangzhou thanked him. During the Chinese New Year, everyone carries pigs and drinks to pay New Year greetings to him. Su Shi instructed his family to cut pork into cubes, burn it red and crisp, and then give it to everyone. This is the origin of Dongpo meat.
