From Du Shiniang to Bai Niangzi to Yu, these famous figures in history are brave representatives of ancient women's pursuit of free love. A woman can love the person she wants independently. Today, at best, she can be called a woman who dares to love and hate, but on that day, she ended up cheating. For thousands of years, women have always been men's accessories, and they can't have the right to control their own lives, so to love, they can only steal.
It's okay to steal well. If you are happy all your life, you don't have to bear the stigma of cheating. Stealing badly, this life can only be the wrong song of the hairpin phoenix.
Today, what kind of visual impact will the story of them and their lovers bring us? Right or wrong, laughing or scolding, let's look at it one by one.
Zhu Yingtai
Liang Zhu is the most poignant love story in the history of China, because it doesn't mean that the grave is closed in darkness, and the story ends with a cold breath. Becoming a butterfly symbolizes that noble love broke free from the feudal cage, gained freedom in another way and flew away. This kind of open tail makes the whole story lyrical and beautiful, and opens up the imagination space infinitely.
In fact, the whole story of Liang Zhu is that Zhu Yingtai is alone, and Liang Shanbo is more like a male partner in ballet, playing a foil role. Either Zhu Yingtai's acting skills are too good, or Liang Shanbo's actions are too slow. In the past three years, I have never doubted Zhu Yingtai's gender. When I sent her away, Zhu Yingtai's metaphors were like casting pearls before swine. Perhaps, Liang Shanbo thinks that Zhu Yingtai has the habit of cuff.
In fact, Ma Wencai is also very wronged. He didn't even show his face, so he became a third party. On the best day of his life, his wife jumped into someone else's grave, which made him feel depressed.
Liang Zhu's tragedy will never happen again. Nowadays, women have more freedom to study, work and get married. They want to marry men. Without the pressure of feudalism, the authority of parents has also become a reference opinion. But we really married Liang Shanbo in Zhu Yingtai, only to find that Xiong Liang is like that.
Guan Panpan
Guan was originally a famous prostitute in Xuzhou, and was later accepted as a concubine by Xuzhou Shoujiang Zhang Cheng. Bai Juyi traveled to Xuzhou and hosted a banquet in Rizo. During the dinner, he also asked his concubine Guan to sing and dance. Bai Juyi appreciated Guan's talent very much and wrote? Drunk and charming can't win, but the wind blows peony flowers? A poem.
Two years later, Rizo died of illness and his concubines separated. It's only about being unforgettable, moving to the old house Yanzilou and living in seclusion. In a flash, ten years passed.
Bai Juyi heard about Guan's chastity, thinking that since she persisted for so long, why didn't she just die a martyr, leaving a reputation as a chaste woman and making an eternal story? So I began to write a poem, and I entrusted it to Guan Jin at the price of buying slices. Picking four or five pieces like flowers, singing and dancing are exhausted. As soon as I left, I didn't go with you
When Guan saw this poem, he burst into tears at once. She didn't die because she was afraid that others would misunderstand Rizo's selfishness and let her concubine die, which humiliated Rizo's reputation. So she has been dragging her feet all these years, and Bai Juyi used poetry as a satire to force her to death. Why didn't the compassion pass starve to death ten days later?
Guan also died of those four words strangling Ruan. With the development of the times, women have become less and less afraid of gossip attacks, such as Qu Meifeng and Muzimei.
great blessing/bliss
It is not enough to have a pair of wonderful eyes. You have to look like a red stroke, and when you look up, you can tell the mediocrity from the hero. Hong Fu, strange girl in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, was born in the world, but lived a first-class life. I'm afraid she is the only one who has lived for thousands of years.
Of course, Hongfu's beauty is also indispensable. If she is not a beauty, she will knock on the door of a strange man in the middle of the night. How could he risk being chased by Su Yang? If it's not a beauty, how can a gentleman be so amazing that he still loves Jing Li, love me, love my dog?
It is not enough for a woman to be beautiful and smart. People like Liu, who show off in the crowd, still come to no good end. She once pursued true love as boldly as Hongfu and went to Qian Qian B. To some extent, marriage is to marry a kind of fate.
A wise beauty, if she doesn't want the rest of her life to be too bleak, then her biggest task is to find that tree.
Bufei cigarettes
Not all the beauties in the Tang Dynasty were plump, but some were as light and delicate as Bu Feiyan. Bu Feiyan was proficient in melody, pipa and even played very well, which was a must at that time.
Bu was decided by his parents. He married the Henan government and joined the military industry. As a military commander, Wu is kind and fierce. Bufeiyan, who has a delicate mind, is completely different from each other and has no way to communicate. Therefore, lung smoke is often depressed.
One day, she was enjoying flowers in the yard, her face was pale and her eyebrows were frowning. She just glanced at Zhao Xiang, who was jumping up when she was dancing a sword in the next room. Zhao Xiang is twenty years old and handsome, and is preparing for the imperial examination at home. His loud reading sound has passed, which makes her stand under the wall and listen attentively.
After one look, Zhao Xiang will never forget Bufeiyan. He bribed the gatekeeper of the Wu family and begged to convey his thoughts. The gatekeeper asked his wife to explore Bufei. Zhao Bu and his servant agreed on several poems. Finally, the opportunity came. Wu stayed at the yamen and went over the wall. Since then, Wu has not stayed at home for the night, but will get together with Bu.
So after two years, things couldn't be hidden any longer, and the wind reached Wu's ears. He tortured the janitor and forced her to tell the whole story. He fought back his anger, pretended to spend the night, squatted under the wall, and caught Zhao Xiang in the second watch. Zhao Xiang himself retreated to his yard. Wu hurried back to his room and shouted at the cloth that was dressing up. When Bu Yanfei saw that things were exposed, he simply said that he was born to love each other, so why hate it? Lord Ye Wu raised his whip and killed him alive. Finally, she was buried in the name of sudden illness.
For two whole years, as a man, he was content with such an affair, doing nothing and not even thinking of eloping. Elopement comes at a price.
He didn't know that the woman was calm, didn't argue, let her be beaten, never begged for mercy, and took on all the sadness and misfortune of this bad love. She redeemed herself with her life.
Huo Xiaoyu
Huo Xiaoyu was a kabuki in the Tang Dynasty. At the age of sixteen, he fell in love with Li Yi's poems. Li Yi is the number one scholar, his younger brother, and he is waiting for a formal position. In Chang 'an, talented people and beautiful women first met, fell in love at first sight, and there were endless lingering feelings.
So Yi Li was ungrateful and Huo Xiaoyu was dying. Everyone in Chang 'an City knows that there is a yellow-shirted guest with a rugged road, so he took Li Yi to the gate of Huo Xiaoyu. Huo Xiaoyu got up sick and spilled wine on the floor to show that there was water under the bridge. Then he uttered the harsh curse. After I die, I will become a spectre, making your wives and concubines uneasy all day.
Divorced wives have always died quietly, such as Su Xiaoxiao, Cui Yingying and even Du Shiniang, but they just committed suicide with a lot of gold, silver and jewels, and never thought of revenge.
Huo Xiaoyu is not. She paid with her life, but she will never admit that she is unfortunate. There is no such thing as a third-rate novel. When a lover comes and comes back to life, there is a layer of holy light on his head. Forgive his betrayal, sympathize with his difficulties, hold hands tightly, agree to meet again in the afterlife and die tragically. For example, Leslie Cheung's last film, Inner Senses, is the female ghost who remembers her old love and gives up her life.
Forgiveness, such a noble and great word, is not so cheap. For example, in the book "Being humiliated and damaged", there are forgiveness and unforgiven, which is related to self-esteem.
Du Shiniang
Du Shiniang is a beautiful and calculating woman, otherwise, she can't be in seven years? Waist? I have quietly accumulated such a huge sum of money in my career. She used to be a famous prostitute in Beijing, and how to cheat men is her specialty. When she had the capital to be a good person, she entrusted her life to an honest angel lee, but this cowardly and incompetent man gave her the most cruel knife. Sun Fu made a cameo appearance as an adult trafficker, pushing her back to the fire pit just after she was freed.
This is the most wrong person in her life and the most deadly. The tragedy of angry chest could have been avoided. As long as she opens the box, angel lee's face will change immediately. But she didn't. She chose the ending of crash and burn, because of heartbreak and despair, she didn't want to live any longer.
Du Shiniang is so close to happiness. She intends to float in Suzhou and Hangzhou and live happily. She has everything, money, freedom, youth and love. Unfortunately, her love is an illusion. Facing the betrayal and cruelty of angel lee, he is unwilling to fight. He understands the ugliness and selfishness of human nature. Du Shiniang, who had been cautious step by step, chose death.
Meeting inappropriate people is a woman's greatest misfortune, and knowing people she doesn't know is her own initiative. No matter how the times progress, women will still look at the wrong person and choose the wrong man, because women in love are blind.
Lvzhu
Liang Lvzhu in Jin Dynasty has always been highly respected.
Shi Chong offended Sun Xiu for her, and when she was under siege, she jumped out to reward Shi Chong. Even a scholar-bureaucrat may not be able to achieve such heroism, such as Hong Chengchou and Qian.
Lvzhu is from Baizhou. On her way to Vietnam on business, Shi Chong brought her back. She is an expensive pearl and is good at playing the flute. At that time, Shi Chong was a slightly fat middle-aged man. Of course, he is not a mediocre person. In his twenties, he became a county magistrate. When he was a secretariat in Jingzhou, he seized the opportunity and broke out by looting wealthy businessmen. Since then, I have lived a life of profligacy, partying every day, indulging in debauchery and making friends with dignitaries, and I am the backbone of the upper class. But later, Shi Chong's backers fell one after another, while the enemy Sima Lun took the real power. At such a critical time, Sun Xiu, Sima Lun's confidant, repeatedly asked for the Green Pearl, but Shi Chong refused.
In the whole story, the most innocent person is Lvzhu herself. She did nothing, but she was born beautiful and intelligent. She came to Chang 'an with Shi Chong and served her master wholeheartedly. She is a caged bird in Jingu Garden. She has no freedom, and even death is hinted by Shi Chong. They all said, this is to repay Shi Chong's kindness with death. What is kindness? After a few years of happiness, it is better to be free in Baizhou, marry a person and live a quiet and stable life.
A rich and powerful marriage is not necessarily a blessing, such as Princess Diana.
Suzhen Bai
The story happened in Suzhou and Hangzhou, West Lake, Broken Bridge and misty rain. We have been in the same boat for a hundred years, and then we continued to meet with umbrellas, and then we became lovers on earth.
Bai Niangzi's dream is simple, that is, to be an ordinary person. She is a demon, and it is possible to cultivate immortality if she works hard. Immortality is the dream of many goblins, but the White Snake fell in love with Xu Xian at first sight, gave up the bright road and committed herself to being a human being.
But in the end, Su Zhen died at the hands of the man she loved, and when she showed her true colors, what kind of eyes did she look at Xu Xian with her head held high? According to this legend, the Leifeng Pagoda was originally built by Fahai, but later a seven-story pagoda was built in Xu Xian, which will be the bottom of the Bainiangzi Yongzhen Pagoda.
I just love someone, but he fixes it himself. He is obedient, gentle and considerate, and he is his virtuous wife wholeheartedly. In other versions, even when he was pregnant, the white lady's efforts were courageous. What if she offended the dogma? But Xu Xian hesitated, panicked and took preventive measures. Finally, he had to avoid it. Maybe he can't just blame Xu Xian. No one can know that he is a demon and still love him as usual. For example, those scholars in Liaozhai fell in love with the devil, but it never ended. The so-called "sworn" can only be regarded as an affair at midnight and a breakup at dawn.
Unless you love me deeply, deeply, so much that you can't be jealous of my race, so much that you love me no matter what you are, so much that you hope that I am a demon and commit crimes with you. I don't know how hard it is to get a man's heart. Even if I give it to him all over the world, he will still think that your family is poor.
That day, at the broken bridge, Bai Niangzi chose the wrong person, or it was her own fault. She didn't have a demon's refusal, but someone was obsessed with her.
Yu Xuan Ji
Yu, a poetess in the late Tang Dynasty, came from a poor family. At the age of sixteen, she married a concubine, which was not allowed by her old Pei family, so she had to observe her practice.
After he and Pei transferred Yangzhou to be an official, Yu posted a notice on the wall, and Yu's poems were to be taught. Since then, Xian has been busy, and she herself has become a semi-prostitute from abandoning her wife.
In the name of poetry, Yu made friends with celebrities such as Wen and Li Ying, and her reputation spread far and wide, but her fate changed tragically immediately. She suspected that the maid-in-waiting Lu Qiao was having an affair with her lover Chen Wei, killed Lu Qiao and buried her under the wisteria in the backyard. One summer night, I found flies gathering on the floating soil under the flowers, and secretly called the government to investigate, and the story was exposed. Yu, 24, was also executed.
There are few female poets, but Yu is the only one whose hands are covered with blood. What made a weak woman who was bullied legally become a shrew who killed a maid-in-waiting, and what made Yu, who was brilliant and charming, lose her mind in an instant?
After experiencing all kinds of misfortunes in personal life, the evil in my temperament was aroused. She is cruel, violent and depressed. It is true that she is open to guests and looks more free, but what women really want is by no means the freedom to change partners frequently. She didn't want to stay alone for a long time, so she took the road of fireworks.
I didn't have a good love in his short life. Lucy li is old and afraid of his wife. When Pei abused Yu, he didn't stand up to protect him. I can't even be a vague woman under her husband's wings like most concubines.
Women, especially beautiful and intelligent women like Yu, will inevitably be extreme and surly and full of hatred for life once their feelings are frustrated. This is extreme self-abandonment, and it is also a self-destructive resentment. Once touched, it will turn into murderous.
The story of Huang Baoquan
How many eighteen years can a woman have? How do you spend your best time? Wang Baochuan is a famous memorial archway in the Tang Dynasty, which was used by the patriarchal society to cover up selfishness and meanness.
There was a faint sound. If a woman wants to keep the same posture for eighteen years, Rainbow Bauchuan, one day she will go through a lot of hardships.
Wang Baochuan's ending is a traditional happy ending. It's a pity that he married Bi Pinggui and the princess married. 18 days later, Wang Baochuan died, which didn't make this hypocritical happiness last longer.
For Bi Pinggui, this 18 day of prosperity has released the shackles of a conscience, if he still has a conscience. It is said that Wang Baochuan broke free from the feudal cage, rebelled against his parents' authority and pursued free love, which was both a song and a tear. I don't think songs are necessary, but crying is inevitable. Why don't you cry? I thought I found my lover, but I missed it all my life. He did become a climate, but he didn't belong to her. She sacrificed herself. In the end, it was just a dream.
Her death was definitely not a smile after her wish came true, but a ridiculous broken belief.
Now, there is the tragedy of the left-behind lady, who gives money to send her lover to study in other countries. After a year or so, news came from there. Sorry, I have a new lover. You don't have to wait any longer.
Times are really progressing, at least the convenience of communication makes women not have to wait 18 years.
english-english
Write it down? Once the sea was difficult for water, amber forever? This famous sentence refers to Yuan Zhen, a gifted scholar.
What I want to say is that the Biography of Yingying, based on Yuan Zhen, is different from the comedy of reunion of talented people and beautiful women rewritten by Wang Shifu. This is the tragedy of Yuan Zhen's rebellion and finally abandoning it. What's more, Yuan Zhen excused himself in the article. He said Yingying is a stunner, if you don't harm yourself, you will harm others. I want to overcome my feelings and break up with her.
Yingying didn't save her doomed love. She knew that she was careless and lost the game. She shouldn't leave with a pillow, so she can't do it aboveboard. But she didn't show hatred, and even wrote to tell Yuan Zhen to live a good life and not to worry about her.
This is a sad awakening. She is willing to admit defeat, marry someone else, and never see Zhang Sheng again in her life. She watched her love turn into ruins, buried it and faded out. But Yuan Zhen was still thinking about it, because the woman didn't pester him and quietly walked away. Some are similar to Zhang Ailing's attitude towards Hu Lancheng.
Whether in the Tang Dynasty in feudal society or today in the 2 1 century, cohabitation has always done more harm than good to women. Unless you don't want this result in the first place, it's best not to stage a modern version of the West Chamber with a man without any guarantee.
Yunniang
Lin Yutang, who translated Six Chapters of a Floating Life into English, said that Yunniang was the most lovely woman in China literature.
The maiden name is Chen, and the husband name is Shen. Mother Yun lost her father when she was a child and was good at needlework. The livelihood of the whole family depends on her skillful hands. Born smart, taught himself poetry and wrote? Autumn invasion is thin, frost dyed chrysanthemum fertilizer? Here comes this sentence. Shoulder cutting, long neck, thin but not obvious, slightly flawed teeth, more lingering. Shen Fu said, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Shen Fu is a poor man. He was an assistant. After doing business, he knows some romantic things, writing poems, enjoying paintings and loving flowers. Feudal society has always been the life of parents. What are the deep feelings between lovers? It's also the luck of a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Moreover, even if it is love at first sight, there will be a tragedy of peacocks flying southeast.
My mother-in-law lost her in-laws' favor and even broke up because she disguised as a man and traveled with her husband. This is actually expulsion from the house. Fortunately, the couple are deeply attached to each other, enjoy the fun in the hardship, and are still harmonious and beautiful, but they don't follow but don't like those who used to be poor together.
A more important reason why Yunniang is praised is that she is too generous. She doesn't know what's wrong with her. She racked her brains to be a concubine to Shen, and she is also very demanding, beautiful and rhythmic.
In the case that their living standard is only food and clothing, the bride actively considers Shen Fu's other needs. Even if Shen Fu declined, she went to find it with a smile.
I heard about the famous prostitute Leng Xiang, so I took Shen Fu to see it. As a result, I thought Leng Xiang was old and her daughter Hanyuan was just what she wanted. She gave Hanyuan a jade cup. Later, Hanyuan was taken away by powerful people, and her mother was seriously ill. Finally, she died unexpectedly.
The more I listen, the more I feel that something is wrong. This is the only official residence in the history of China that strongly urges my husband to take a concubine, and she looks sincere. Even if she has no money, she would rather be short of money than extravagant. Is it because you are too confident in your feelings with Shen Fu and are not afraid of falling out of favor, or because you love Shen Fu too much, you want to bring him the best things in the world?
Fang's wife, who refused to let her husband take concubinage in the Tang Dynasty, or Zhuo Wenjun Wen Jun, who wrote "The Ballad of the Bald Head", both had second thoughts, so they refused. If you marry a little wife, we are finished.
Compare these tough original matches, and then look at the gentle mother, why not let men be fascinated. However, the girl is always a strange case, or her love has gone beyond the narrow shackles of the relationship between men and women and reached the lofty realm of hello and I am bad.
In fact, a mother's emotions are unreal. Love can't be shared with others after all. Please allow me to make a guess. This is similar to an obsessive-compulsive disorder. I just want to find a better woman than me and see if you will change your mind. This is just a test.
?
Whether it is a gesture or a real intention for a mother to take a concubine is debatable. In short, men should not have too many illusions about women's minds.
