罗隐的一生行迹(833-909)
罗隐(833-909),本名横,字昭谏,余杭(今杭州)人。十举进士不第,诗文名满天下却屡遭黜落,以讽刺诗文著称。后依钱镠,为钱塘令,官至谏议大夫。诗文锋利如匕,讽刺辛辣,世称"罗讽"。《蜂》《自遣》传诵千古。
余杭(833) · 余杭少年
唐文宗大和七年(833年),罗隐出生于余杭(今杭州)。他本名横,少年即以文才名动乡里,但因相貌丑陋,常遭人嘲笑,这反倒磨砺了他辛辣的讽刺之笔。
长安(859) · 十举不第
唐宣宗大中十三年(859年),罗隐首次赴长安应进士举,不第。此后二十余年间,他十次入京赴考,十次落第,科场蹭蹬之苦成为他讽刺诗的不竭源泉。
钟陵(870) · 十举不第
唐懿宗咸通十一年(870年)前后,罗隐落第后南归,途经钟陵(今南昌),在豫章一带与同落第的友人们诗酒唱和,写下《赠妓云英》等讽刺名篇。
衡阳(871) · 漂泊江湖
唐懿宗咸通十二年(871年)夏,罗隐投湖南观察使于瑰,得任衡阳县主簿,年末因性格不容去职东归。他漂泊江湖、依人作客,对底层人民的苦难有切身的体验,讽刺诗文愈发深刻犀利。
池州(880) · 漂泊江湖
唐僖宗广明元年(880年),黄巢陷长安,僖宗奔蜀,天下大乱。罗隐离开江淮避乱,一度隐居池州九华山(今安徽青阳),山中读书赋诗,静观时变。他在流离中写下多首伤时感事之作。
钱塘(887) · 钱塘佐政
唐僖宗光启三年(887年),罗隐归乡依钱镠,被辟为钱塘令。钱镠时任镇海节度使,雄踞两浙,罗隐在钱镠幕中深受倚重,结束了二十余年落魄漂泊的生涯。
吴越(900) · 吴越暮年
唐昭宗光化三年(900年)前后,罗隐在吴越幕中官至谏议大夫、给事中。钱镠封吴越王,罗隐为其核心幕僚,参与军政大计,但讽刺之笔始终不辍。
钱塘(终老)(909) · 吴越暮年
后梁太祖开平三年(909年),罗隐卒于钱塘,享年七十七岁。此时唐已亡(907年朱温篡唐),吴越国在钱镠治下偏安一隅。罗隐以讽刺诗人终老于新朝,见证了唐的覆亡与五代的开启。
The Life Journey of Luo Yin, the Knife of Late Tang Satire
Luo Yin (833-909), born Luo Heng of Yuhang, failed the jinshi ten times in twenty years and turned the failure into a blade: satires so sharp they were quoted like proverbs. In old age he found the one warlord worth serving — Qian Liu of Wuyue — as magistrate of Qiantang and councilor. 'The bee': 'you gather a hundred flowers' honey — for whom is the sweetness, for whom the toil?'
Timeline of the Journey
- 833 · 余杭 — Born in Yuhang, homely and quick; mockery received young sharpened the tongue that would feed him.
- 859 · 长安 — First examination, first failure — then nine more over twenty years: 'Luo the tenth-time loser' famous before any office.
- 870 · 钟陵 — On the road home, Zhongling, the singer Yun Ying: 'twelve years since I saw you — you are not yet famous, and I am not yet married' — the joke both aimed and wounded.
- 871 · 衡阳 — A brief clerkship under the Hunan governor Yu Gui — registrar of Hengyang County: 'the bee' — 'gathering all the flowers to make honey — for whom the sweetness, for whom the toil?'
- 880 · 池州 — Huang Chao took Chang'an and the realm broke apart; Luo Yin hid among the Nine-Flower hills of Chizhou — 'the money-flower' among the ruins-poems.
- 887 · 钱塘 — Home at last to Qian Liu's rising power in Liangzhe, magistrate of Qiantang — the satirist finding the one honest throne in the age.
- 900 · 吴越 — Grand Master of Remonstrance in the Wuyue administration, keeper of its documents and conscience: 'they gave the monkey-trainer a red sash' — court satire even now.
- 909 · 钱塘 — Died at seventy-seven in Qiantang, the Tang two years dead, Wuyue the one safe corner of the wreck — and the sharpest tongue of the age at rest.
'Today there is wine — so today we drink.' Everyone in China can finish that line; almost no one remembers it was a failure's armor. Luo Yin made losing eloquent, and outlasted the empire that lost him.
