Wang Fanzhi was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Weizhou (now Xunxian County, Henan Province) is from Liyang. Life story is unknown. Wang Fanzhi, Gui Yuan Cong Tan (Volume 82) and Tai Ping Guang Ji all said that he was born in the Sui Dynasty and was adopted by Wang Dezu, a native of liyang city, from a dead tree. He "can speak at the age of seven" and "writes satirical poems, which is very meaningful". Dunhuang wrote a book "Wang Daoyang Wen Jun", saying that he was a "master Xuan Tong". We can know that his creative activities were mainly in the early Tang Dynasty.

Wang Fanzhi's poems focus on reason, and attach importance to the social function of punishing evil and promoting good. Some poems have the positive significance of satirizing the world and human feelings, such as: "I haven't been a farm yet, and I cried in class and my body died." "People who cry are people who share money, and they will be happy when they cry. The style of poetry is simple and clear, but sometimes it is humorous. It often contains philosophy of life in parody and banter, and laughs and curses in trivial matters, thus creating a popular poetic genre of slang words. However, there are also quite a few works promoting feudal ethics and Buddhist teachings, which are shallow in content and low in style.

Wang Fanzhi's poems were quite influential at that time. Some people say that he "doesn't keep the classics, it's all old sayings." Not only a wise man changes his mind, but also a fool can easily change his face. Far and near rumors, persuade them to punish the good "(Dunhuang wrote Wang Fanzhi's original preface). Buddhist temples often use it to "teach Taoists" or "enlighten the ignorant". The Japanese Book Catalogue compiled during the Heian Dynasty in Japan also recorded "two volumes of Wang Fanzhi's poems", which can be inferred to have spread to Japan in the eighth and ninth centuries. Among the poets in the Tang Dynasty, the poems of Hanshan, Shide and Fenggan directly inherited Wang Fanzhi's mantle; There are Wang Wei, Gu Kuang, Bai Juyi and Jiao Ran. , also more or less influenced by him. In the Song Dynasty, some people imitated Wang Fanzhi's style to write poems. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wang Fanzhi's poems fell into obscurity. His poems were not included in The Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty. It was not until the manuscript of Wang Fanzhi's poems was discovered in Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave that it gradually attracted attention at home and abroad.

Wang Fanzhi's poems are recorded in the History of Song Dynasty, which is 1 volume, and no longer exist today. Wang Fanzhi's poems were written in Dunhuang, edited by Liu Fu on 1925, and included in Dunhuang Essays. There is also Zheng Zhenduo's revised edition of Poems of Wang Fanzhi and Poems of Wang Fanzhi 1935, which includes the fifth volume of Universal Library. Zhang Xihou collected and sorted out 348 poems in the Collection of Poems of Wang Fanzhi, with relevant comments, textual research and other materials, which is relatively complete. When I have money.

When you have money, Wang Fanzhi.

When I am rich, women will take good care of me.

If I take off my clothes and fold my robe and coat.

I went out to ask for it, and I was on my way when I delivered it.

Put the money in the house and watch me smile.

Circling around my white dove like a parrot.

I was temporarily poor when I met you, and I looked good when I met you.

When people are seven poor people, seven rich people will repay them.

The pursuit of wealth ignores people, as if times are changing.

Wang Fanzhi was a vernacular poet in the early Tang Dynasty.

This is a poem lamenting human feelings. At first glance, the whole article has neither wonderful epigrams nor artistic descriptions of the environmental atmosphere, which seems unremarkable; In fact, he is good at "speaking out", pointing to things and shallow images; Loyal and straightforward; It is far-reaching and thought-provoking, with a faint and tasteful poetic feeling.

The whole poem has a compact structure and distinct levels, focusing on the theme step by step, and is quite emotional. In the first six sentences, the author pointed out that the key to the attitude of wife and children lies in the word "money". With money, everything is fine, and my wife and children are very concerned. If you want to take off your clothes, someone will soon fold your robe and coat neatly; If you are away from home on business, you have to take it all the way to the roadside. Here, the poet selects familiar life phenomena and writes various scenes with concise strokes without modification, giving people an ordinary and vivid feeling.

Then, the author uses appropriate metaphors to further describe all kinds of coquetry caused by money: "I was all smiles when I gave money." Spinning around my white dove like a parrot. "When you come home with money, you are greeted by a smiling face, hovering around you like a dove and twittering in your ear like a parrot. Pigeons have always been regarded as birds who love the poor and the rich, while parrots are regarded as eloquent and pleasing images. Therefore, poets use "pigeons" and "parrots" to describe greedy people.

The last six sentences sum up the main idea of the whole article and are also Wang Fanzhi's angry words to the world. The "encounter" in the sentence means unexpected: "lookout" means ugly face; It's all said by the Tang Dynasty. These poems say: When I accidentally fell into poverty, why did your faces become so ugly? You know, people may have extremely rich opportunities when they are poorest. He bluntly warned those vulgar and greedy people that if they only love money and have no regard for people's goodwill, then look at what they will get when they come! Here, the poet frankly wrote down his anger.

The obvious characteristics of this poem in artistic expression are: capturing some actions and events that are not paid much attention to in life with keen observation, using popular and concise language, imagining clever comparative description, not much pen and ink, and no intention of rendering, but the ugliness of insatiable people will come to my face. At the same time, the poet's grievances suddenly emerged. The author mastered the folk language with skillful ability, used natural, straightforward and simple words, and created the popular poetry school in Tang Dynasty, which contributed to the development of Tang poetry.
