Brief introduction of Dante, a famous western poet
Battleship Dante AliGneki Cherie (Battleship Dante AliGneki Cherie) was born in a declining aristocratic family in Florence, Italy on 1265. According to his own poem, "born under Gemini" should be at the end of May or early June. At the age of 5, his biological mother died and his father was his second wife. His stepmother gave birth to two younger brothers and a younger sister [2].
His father has been in business for a long time because of the decline of his family. At that time, there were Gaelic non-parties representing the interests of feudal nobles and supporting the Pope, and there were also West Berlin parties supporting the holy Roman emperor and representing the interests of the bourgeoisie. Dante's father naturally supported the Gaelic non-party, and Dante himself later became one of the leaders of the party.
Dante's life is rarely recorded, but there are many writers, many of whom are unreliable. He may not have received a formal education (some people say he studied in Bologna and Paris), but he learned a lot from many famous friends and teachers, including Latin, Provence and music. I may have been a knight when I was young, participated in several wars, and got married at the age of 20. His wife gave birth to six children, three of whom were 65438+.
At that time, Florence politics was divided into two factions, one was the West Berlin faction loyal to the holy Roman emperor, and the other was the Gaelic faction loyal to the Pope. After 1266, due to the powerful influence of the Pope, the Gaelic faction won and exiled the West Berlin faction. Pope Benifas VIII, who was elected in 1294 after Gefei came to power, wanted to control Florence. Some wealthy citizens in the city of hope are unwilling to be controlled by the Pope and split into a "white party", while others have not settled down and hope to turn over and become a "black party" with the help of the Pope. The two factions are fighting again. Dante's family originally belonged to the Gaelic Sect. Dante enthusiastically advocated independence and freedom, so he became the backbone of the white party and was elected as one of the six members of the executive Committee of the highest authority. He has a famous saying: Go your own way and let others talk.
130 1 year, the pope sent Carlo di valois, the brother of the French king, to Florence to "reconcile". Suspecting that the trip had another purpose, White sent a delegation headed by Dante to persuade the Pope to take back his life, but it failed. Sure enough, Carlo immediately organized the black party to slaughter the opposition, took control of Florence, and announced the exile of Dante. Once he returns to the city, any Florentine soldier may be executed.
1308, Luxemburg's henry vii was elected as the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, ready to invade Florence. Dante wrote to him and pointed out the place of attack, so White began to hate Dante. 13 13 Henry died, and Dante's hopes were dashed.
13 15, Florence was in power by soldiers, and it was announced that if Dante was willing to pay a fine, sprinkle dust on his head and hang a knife around his neck, he could return to China for a week without guilt. Dante wrote back and said, "This method is not the way for me to return to China! If I damage Dante's reputation, I will never set foot in Florence again! Can't I enjoy the light of the sun, moon and stars elsewhere? If I don't bow and scrape to the people of Florence, can't I get in touch with the precious truth? To be sure, I don't worry about having no bread! "
When Dante was exiled, he lived in several cities in Italy, and some recorded that he had been to Paris. He used his works to dispel homesickness, and wrote down all benefactors and enemies in his masterpiece Divine Comedy, mocking the Pope. He put his unrequited love object, a woman named Beatrice, at the top of heaven, and Beatrice died at the age of 25.
Dante died in 132 1 and in Lavoine, in the northeast of Italy.
Personal life of famous western poets
1. On one occasion, Dante attended a banquet hosted by Consul General Venice. The valet gave rich fried fish to the envoys of Italian city-states, but very small fish to Dante.
Dante didn't protest or eat fish. He picked up the small fish on the plate one by one with his hand, listened to it close to his ear as if he heard something, and then put it back on the plate one by one.
The consul was surprised and asked him what he was doing.
Dante said loudly, "A few years ago, a friend of mine died and was buried at sea. I don't know if his body has been buried at the bottom of the sea, so I asked these small fish one by one to see if they knew anything. "
The consul asked, "What did the little fish say?"
Dante said, "They told me that they were still young and didn't know the past. Let me ask the big fish at the same table. "
The consul laughed and told him to bring Dante the biggest fried fish at once.
Dante liked to sit in the square in his hometown of Florence when he was young. Especially on midsummer night, he often sits in the starry morning. The lonely young poet has an amazing memory.
One night, a stranger went straight to Dante and bowed down and said, "I have heard a lot about your poems, and I know you are the pride of Fei Lengcui." I promised to answer a question, but I can't because of my shallow knowledge. I am here to ask Mr. Wang for help. The question I want to answer is: What is the most delicious thing in the world? "eggs." Dante blurted out. The man nodded and left. One day a few years later, Dante was still sitting in the square looking up at the starry sky, or the stranger stepped forward and continued the conversation a few years ago: "So, how to cook?" Dante glanced at the visitor and replied without thinking, "put some salt."
3. Florence Anonymous once recorded Dante's life in the block of San Polocolo, including a passage like this: "There was a Bellaqui, a citizen of Florence, a craftsman who made the neck of a lute and guitar. He was the laziest person, never before. It is said that respecting the teacher (referring to Dante) may be familiar with him; So, one day, the respected teacher made fun of him, and Bella quoted Aristotle to answer him:' Sit down and be calm, and the soul will have a lot of knowledge.' The respected teacher replied,' Indeed, if one can become a wise man by sitting, it is no wonder that no one has ever been more knowledgeable than you.' "
