“，。”Fine writing is cursed with an unlucky fate; goblins and demons delight in men's transgressions.

—— — Du Fu

，，。Huang Zhongze, who had been highly strung since childhood, had still not managed to change his proud, aloof, and suspicious nature now that he was twenty-three.，，，，，。He was by nature a man who acted on impulse and would die for a passion — whenever his emotions were roused, whether or not the words were fit to be spoken, his face would flush red, his voice would rise, and unable to hold himself back, he would blurt them straight out.，，，，，；If the person listening showed any resistance to what he said, or revealed in a smile or a glance the least sign of disagreement, he would argue back with all his might;，。and as it went on, his glossy black eyes would always open very wide, as though sparks might fly out of them.，，，，。If at such a moment someone came forward to say a few words in agreement with him, he would be so delighted that he would leap up in excitement, and in his big black eyes two pools of clear water would well up and shimmer; carried a step further, tears of gratitude would run down his thin, gaunt cheeks.

，，，，。Zhu Sihe, the Education Commissioner, though very fond of him, was too burdened with official business to come and cheer him up during these silent, gloomy spells.，，，，。At such times, among the forty or fifty people in the Commissioner's retinue, the only one who dared approach him and go into his room to exchange a few words was his fellow townsman, Hong Zhicun.，，。Hong Zhicun, who had studied with him since childhood and came from the same town, understood his temperament well.，，，。Whenever he saw him arguing with others and worked up past all bearing, Zhicun was always willing to step in and speak up on his behalf, and so Zhongze cherished and respected him even more than his own brothers.，，。Knowing his temper, Zhicun would deliberately keep his distance during the first day or two of one of his silences.，，。If they happened to meet by chance on the main path he used to come and go, Zhicun would put on a look of gloom to match his and simply nod to him silently before passing on.，，，，，，《》，。Only after the silence had lasted a day or two, and Zhicun had secretly observed that he seemed to have finished several poems, or seemed to have already drunk himself drunk once at some tavern in town, or had had a good cry alone in the cold, lonely hills outside the city — only then would Zhicun, whether at midnight or at dawn, dare to walk slowly into his room, and there vie with him in reciting the Li Sao, or discuss and criticize the miscellaneous poems of Han Changli and Li Taibai; and in this way his vow of silence would at last be broken.

，。In the wind, the sash was tied in a lovers' knot; at the bottom of the cup, she was like a flower that understood speech.

，。Below Du City, the roads ran north and south; outside Shanglan Gate, carriages came and went.

，。In a hurry, I woke as if from a Yangzhou dream; gathering my idle sorrows, I find them now in the gray at my temples.

，。Roused at the window, still not free of last night's wine, the cuckoo's cry urges me on, call after call.

，。The old vow painted in colors recalls Xiangru's letter; the meditation couch, as time passed, held Du Mu's feelings.

，。After parting, our longing was severed by nothing but a stretch of water; returning now and looking back, it feels like three lifetimes have passed.

，。The cloud-stairs and moonlit ground are still there as before; I pace slowly, tracing the empty fragrance, a hundred times over.

，。No matter that, as I was leaving, she thought of me again and again; on the bamboo branch fresh tear-stains were left behind.

，。It was mostly because the Governor had made no firm pledge — how could she have looked on her Xiao Lang as a mere stranger passing by?

，。In the distance the colored clouds seemed to drift slowly on; at the edge of my sorrow the spring waters rippled as ever, bright and clear.

，。A hundred feet of coral, a thousand bushels of pearls — nothing could purchase Luofu while she remained unwed.

，。From then on, all word and trace of each other fell silent; the spring hills were dark as kohl, the grass like mist.

，。My tears added to the rain over the Wu gardens at the third watch of night; my regret was stirred by a single night's sleep at the post-station.

，。How could there be a bluebird to seal my parting verses? I can only let the ornamented zither record the passing years.

，。If someday I should chance to pass by, like Weizhi did, a hundred twists and a thousand turns will bring only self-pity.

，，，、。Three years later, while watching the City God festival in Yangzhou, he saw a young married woman walking slowly along the street with a man of about thirty who looked like a wealthy merchant.，，。Her features were the very image of that girl from Yixing; that evening, back at his lodgings by the river, he composed four more miscellaneous poems of remembrance.

，。I remember our tender intimacy in the wind-swept pavilion and moonlit terrace; in dreams I heard her singing, in drunkenness I felt sorrow.

，。Tugging at her sleeve, how often did our whispered words ever come to an end? Once the gate closed, from then on I fell into the sorrow of separation.

，。By the bright lamp, within the brocade curtains, her slender bones were graceful; like a fine steed, her spring-hill brows framed eyes sharp as scissors.

，。What I remember most is how, again and again as I walked away, she would still turn to look back; this heart of mine, like water, only flows eastward.

，。Now, like Pan Yue, my temples are turning to threads of gray — does she still remember when we rode together in the goat-cart?

，。Carrying a pellet-bow, what heart did I have to startle the birds who shared one fate? Stroking the branch, what bitterness made me break the intertwined boughs?

，。Like fragrant wind through the willows, it wounds one's thoughts of Siman; in another kind of misty blossom, it vexes Muzhi.

，。Do not pluck the strings again to play 'Night after Night'; all through this autumn I have grown haggard with longing.

，。Her zhe-dance once made her famous throughout the Pingkang wards; yet she alone turned an appreciative eye toward a mere scholar.

，。Lightly she drew the brocade quilt to prolong our morning's rest; slowly she poured from the golden cup to ease the sorrow of my travels.

，。Today a pair of fish-shaped letter-cases is sent to the young lord; in those days, one song lamented the Prince of Dongping.

，。Outside the shrine of the King of Yue, the flowers have just begun to bloom — with whom does she now stroll along so slowly?

，。It was not merely regret at parting, but pity for my talent; many times with her own hand she cut red notepaper for me.

，。With a heart set on rivers and lakes, she would follow a man like Yingshi; her romantic feeling of late presses close to one like Fanghui.

，。For a long while she kept the curtain drawn to hold the fragrance in; yet as ever, swallows come peeking in at people.

，。Since ancient times, hearts truly united are never parted for good; the trees on the tomb at Luofu still grieve to this day.

，，，，，。Thinking over his present state of mind and comparing it with those days, he felt that seven years ago he had been like a fragrant plant under the warm sun of springtime — flourishing gloriously, just coming into bloom.，，。For at that time he had just passed the examination for the xiucai degree, and endless hope still lay ahead, waiting for him.

“，？——”"These very stars are not last night's stars — for whom do I stand in the wind and dew at midnight?——"

，，，，。So he raised his voice slightly and recited these two lines of verse once through, then paced back and forth a few more steps — partly to bolster his own courage by doing so, and partly because he wanted to work the two lines he had gotten tonight into a complete poem.，，。But his thoughts were as chaotic as an ant-nest flooded with water, and however he turned them over, he could not manage to piece together the lines above and below.，，。Beyond the garden wall, after the sound of the night-watchman's clapper and the shadow of his lantern had passed by in the lane, the moonlight grew so pure and glossy it was almost frightening.，。It seemed as though the autumn frost had already fallen; he felt wave after wave of cold creeping over his body.，，，，，，，，，？Thinking that the depths of winter would soon be upon him, and that his trunk held nothing but a few padded coats of coarse cotton cloth, he realized that to get through the winter he would need to buy material for a fox-fur robe, which could not be had for less than forty taels of silver; moreover, he had not sent money home in a long while, and by rights he ought to send back several tens of taels for his aged mother and the rest of the family to buy themselves some clothes — but given his present circumstances, where on earth was he to find so much silver?，。The moment this thought came to him, his heart grew heavier still with vexation.，：Staring blankly for a while at the moon sinking toward the west, he found himself murmuring a few lines of verse:

“，，，，。"Before the Zhou and Qin dynasties there was no such thing as textual scholarship, and yet learning flourished all the more; nowadays there are many textual scholars with towering reputations, and yet forged books grow more popular by the day — I say all these textual scholars are men who steal fame and deceive the world.，，，，，，，，，，，，。”Today they lecture on poetics, tomorrow they busy themselves with philology, and in a few more days they'll be talking of governing the state and bringing peace to all under heaven — but boil it all down, their real aim is nothing more than the title of Hanlin Academician. I'd advise them to go and annotate the Biographies of the Cruel Officials instead — that way, once they've cinched their sashes and taken their place at court, moving from the Board of Rites to the Board of Civil Office, or heading the Court of Colonial Affairs, or being appointed Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, they'll already have a model to follow."

，，，。When he had finished washing, he did not even eat, but went out alone from the Education Commissioner's yamen, walking slowly straight toward Longjin Gate to the south.，。The mild mid-October sunlight, neither warm nor hot, lay scattered over the deserted streets of Taiping prefectural city.，，，，。Beneath the pale blue, lofty sky, Zhongze passed out through Longjin Gate, crossed the Gushu Creek, and, keeping to the country road bordered with fine grass and yellow sand, pressed on toward the southeast.，，，，。Beside the road stood a few small groves of mixed trees, already wearing the withered look of the fading season; the sickly leaves not yet fallen from the branches all carried a dull yellowish-grey hue, trembling faintly in the autumn wind.，，。A few crows on the treetops, as if praising the clear weather, cawed out several times.，，，。Zhongze raised his head and looked, and saw the crows circling and wheeling in the clear sky, with the grove as their center.。Beneath the trees was a patch of grass.。Its color, too, had turned a little yellow.，，，，。Around the grass lay many clean, bare paddies crisscrossing one another; the rice having all been harvested, only scattered stubble of the stalks remained, quietly basking in the sunlight.，，。Zhongze glanced about him in every direction, and before he knew it had left the highway and wandered onto a small path along the paddy ridges, overgrown with withered grass.，，。Crossing a bare, clean paddy field, he came to the grassy ground by the grove and sat down beneath the trees.，，。After listening quietly for a while to the cawing of the crows, he raised his head and saw before him a range of autumn mountains, etched against the clear sky.

，。Since I bound up my hair I have read your poems; now I come to unfold myself before your grave.

，。A clear wind off the river comes blowing freely; by it I wish to send you my humble admiration.

，，，Alas, one of talent such as yours could not escape death — yet I know well enough that your death is no true death,

，。A great star fell to earth three thousand years past; this is but the leftover ash of the Kunming cataclysm.

，，Your tall cap towering high, your gemmed sash gleaming bright; versed far and wide in swordsmanship, wonders filled your breast,

，。You molded Qu Yuan and Song Yu into grandeur and elegance, and with a flourish turned sun and moon into marvelous verse.

，。In your own time, gifted as you were, you had nowhere to place yourself; even now, before the traces you left, I still long for you.

，，Sober, you sat lost in brooding thought; drunk, you tossed off a thousand verses — surely primal Chaos itself had borrowed your hand,

，。Heaven and earth, having nothing else to fill your heart, left you only the seeking of immortality and the drinking of wine.

，。In your whole life you bowed your head to none but the lord of Xuancheng; the gate of your grave faces straight toward the green of Qing Mountain.

，。Your romantic brilliance shines on, now as then; and there is still the traveler on a donkey's back at Ba Bridge.

，。Truly the ground beneath this place is a marvel to behold; no wonder these rivers and mountains are forever full of splendor.

，，Through the ages the rivers and mountains lie bathed in bright moonlight; your drunken spirit sleeps so deep it cannot be called awake,

，，The brocade robe, the painted pleasure-boat — all silent now, no one there; yet faintly, faintly, a song still winds about the river's waters,

，。The last of your splendor, scattered over all the world, still becomes, among men, more than ten thousand followers.

，，Your contemporary Du Fu, the Reminder-in-Attendance — his burial stone lies instead by the banks of the Xiao and Xiang,

，，Once, traveling south, I visited it; the clouds over Mount Heng hung bleak and bare, reaching all the way to Mount Jiuyi,

，。Even speaking only of where their bones came to rest after death, it is as though their very poetic worlds ran on separate paths.

，？Yet in the end I feel that old man was too given to bitter indignation — if not you, whom else should I take as my master?

，，In a hundred years of life one ought to seek pleasure; a thousand cups a day would still not be enough,

，。Laughing, I watch the woodcutters and herdboys talk on beneath the slanting sun — when I die, let me be buried at the foot of this very mountain.

，，。When Zhongze reached the Education Commissioner's yamen, he saw the main hall ablaze with candlelight, as though a banquet were being held there.，。Being utterly worn out, he slipped quietly back to the west chamber of Shouchun Garden, where he lodged.，。He had the servant bring him some food, and ate a bowl of it by lamplight.，，，，，。After washing his hands and face, he was about to go to bed when Zhicun, his face pale, nostrils flaring, wearing a look of grief and desolation, came into his room.

，。I have no way to suppress my feelings — they always soar unchecked; in a daze I wander lost, and sit as if in a trance of forgetting.

，。I think of boring through the wall to flee, for my very bones are too proud; I hum on with a rope for a belt, as my sorrows only lengthen.

，。Hearing the gibbons cry, how could my tears stop at just three cries? What once could wind soft round a finger has truly become steel forged a hundred times over.

，。My proud grief, once vented, I will not show to guests, for fear of setting ice and coals within others' hearts.

，。Year after year I play the flute in this river town; in the western garden, a peach-wood puppet, my whole life entrusted to drifting.

，。The horse, knowing the road too well, is truly wearied by that very road; the cicada, though it swallows its cry, still makes a sound.

，。With my long sword I still depend on others, my wanderings not yet done; in short garb I would shoot tigers, my spirit hard to still.

，。How I pity these nights of facing wine and listening to songs — they feel exactly like the feelings of one long past his prime.

，。Hawk-shouldered, fire-hued, I bear a talent coiled up like knotted wood; in my prime, was I ever inferior to other men?

，。If my writing has any luster, it is truly like a marvelous stone; if my legs could be split for kindling, they'd be but worn-out cart-wood, fuel for labor.

，。But so long as I am skilled at eating and drinking I can still live on; while I still have my lute and my books, I am not yet poor.

，。The fragrant grasses fill the river, allowing me to gather them — this life of mine is truly fit to follow after Ling Jun.

，。My glorious youthful years pass with a snap of the fingers; on the road of the world I feel only the land of drunkenness is spacious.

，。Through three lifetimes it is hard to turn my heart to stone; through nine deaths, in vain have I tasted gall as if rolled into pills.

，。Leaving the city walls, my sickly body dreads to look straight ahead; climbing the heights, my thinning hair shames me before onlookers.

，。For rise or fall I need not consult Junping's divination — I have already made ready an autumn river and a single fishing rod.

，，，，，。In the sky there was not the faintest trace of drifting cloud; the deep blue of the heavens, steeped in sunlight, was overlaid with a film of pale violet fair-weather haze, and the thousand-mile Yangtze, mirroring a few flecks of jade-green hills, went rushing eastward as though chasing after a dream.，，，；At the river's waist, before the largest of those jade-green hills, Mount Caishi, Taibai Tower had thrown open its eight tall windows, its reflection falling amid Niuzhu in the heart of the river;，，，，，。the hills and waters, the tower, and the figures within the tower, all seemed half awake and half entranced, adorning that misty scene of radiant spring — it was the afternoon of the Shangsi Festival in the third month, the very day on which Lord Zhu Sihe, Education Commissioner of Anhui, held a great gathering of guests at Taibai Tower.，，，，，。Before and behind the peaks of Cuiluo Hill, the distinguished guests attending the gathering came and went — some standing atop Santai Pavilion counting the sails coming in along the horizon, others scattered about the point of Niuzhu Shoal, seeking out the historical remains of dynasties past.，。From Taiping Prefecture to Mount Caishi there is a government road of twenty li.，，。On the sandy outskirts beyond Chengjiang Gate, on wild paths where at ordinary times scarcely a soul was to be seen, today it was so bustling that hardly five paces of open road remained.，，，。Scholars from the eight prefectures, who had come to Dangtu for the examinations, having heard of Commissioner Zhu's refined taste for such gatherings, all wished to come and see for themselves the talents Lord Zhu kept ready in his medicine chest.，。And so every fine spot of river and hill — the Emei Pavilion, the Ranxi Pavilion, and all the rest — had been taken over entirely by sightseers.

，！A sheet of red cloud rises up from the sea, lighting the splendid feast spread out upon my tower!

，！Tilting the cup, the green wine is once again all gone — where now is the banished immortal of the tower!

，，The banished immortal's tower stands a hundred feet tall; Master Sihe, foremost among men of letters,

，。his romantic bearing much like the man of the tower — eleven hundred years on, he too comes here as a guest.

，，That day the crimson clouds over the river parted, Tianmen lightly traced like a pair of moth-brows,

，，the river bends round past Cimu Rock, the tide turns back below Ranxi Pavilion,

，。facing the green hills the guests rise up to dance — each of them, like Qinglian, in the end but a mound of earth.

，。Speaking of this seven-foot frame's return to the weeds, this tower is but a guest and the mountain the host;

，。speaking of coming drunk beneath the moon to this riverside, this tower is the host and the mountain the guest.

，，The long comet flickers as though without color — it need not forever remain a soul of this world,

，！after death all is desolate just the same — to look about and sing songs of sorrow is likewise in vain!

，，At the bottom of the cup lingers only the sorrow of past and present; before my eyes there suddenly appears all the beauty of the southeast,

，，at this grand gathering I inscribe a poem at the very summit — my name, not yet dead, outweighs the very hills,

，。pray take this scroll of poems and cast it into the river's waters — surely it will not flow eastward with the current.

，，。Not many days later, this famous poem composed at the banquet at Taibai Tower was already being recited on the lips of gentlemen and ladies along both banks of the Yangtze.

What it’s about

This is a historical story about the eighteenth-century poet 黃仲則 (Huang Jingren), not another disguised modern student. At twenty-three Huang is brilliant, poor, hypersensitive and incapable of hiding either pride or hurt. Under the patronage of the Anhui examiner 朱笥河 he lives at 壽春園, wanders alone, drinks beside 姑熟溪 and mutters poems to himself; servants and conventional scholars treat his intensity as madness or insolence. His friend 洪稚存 understands him better, but friendship cannot remove the humiliating dependence of a gifted young man on officials who can praise his verse and still leave him materially insecure. Yu builds the portrait from sudden reversals: Huang argues until his eyes blaze, weeps when someone agrees with him, then spends days in silence. The classical poet is made to feel strikingly like Yu's modern excluded intellectual.

The plot gathers around 朱笥河's spring gathering at Caishi, the Yangzi site associated with Li Bai. Scholars from the eight prefectures crowd the pavilions while Huang, thin after illness and slightly drunk, stands beside 洪稚存. When their host asks whether they have completed poems for the occasion, Hong jokes that he is still searching; Huang boasts that his is ready. Forced to prove it while 朱 himself grinds the ink, Huang writes the long 太白樓 poem on the spot. Its red clouds, opened feast, absent immortal and river carrying ancient sorrow transform a patron's entertainment into a meditation on literary fame and death. The final lines insist that the poem will not simply flow east and vanish; within days it is repeated on both banks of the river. That public triumph does not magically solve Huang's poverty or temperament. Instead, the story asks what survival a poem can offer when the poet's name may outlive him but patronage, examinations and social rank still govern the living man.

When it was written 背景

Yu dated 採石磯 20 November 1922, and it appeared during the Creation Society's early journal years before being gathered with his other fiction. Huang Jingren (1749–1783), commonly called 黃仲則, really was a gifted Qing poet who died young and poor; 朱笥河 and 洪稚存 were historical figures, and the climactic 太白樓 poem is Huang's own. Yu therefore uses documentation and quotation while shaping Huang into a predecessor for the modern writer who feels talent misrecognized by institutions. It is a mixed starting point for a learner. The narrative action and sharp character sketch are clear, and knowing the ending in advance helps, but official titles, place names, literary allusions and the long classical poem are far harder than Yu's vernacular dialogue. Read the prose first without stopping at every name, treat the poem as a change of register, and return to it only after the scene—boast, ink, improvisation, acclaim—is secure.
