Sima Xiangru, the word evergreen, was born in Chengdu, Shu County. He is good at reading, playing the piano and being free and easy. His articles are beautiful, especially good at writing fu. He and Wang Ji are good friends. Wang Ji once said to him, "You are studying abroad. If your career is not smooth and life is difficult, come to Lin Qiong to find me. " One day, Sima Xiangru really came to Ji Wang.
Two people came to the living room hand in hand, Sima Xiangru and Wang Ji talked about his whereabouts in recent years. When Wang Ji knew Xiang Ru was not married, he told him that Lin Qiong's richest man, Zhuo Wangsun, had a daughter named Zhuo Wenjun, who was extremely clever and beautiful, and now she was widowed. We are made for each other. Sima Xiangru listened and shook his head embarrassedly. Wang Ji doesn't think so. He thinks this is a human effort.
Knowing that Sima Xiangru was a famous scholar, Zhuo Wangsun treated him to a light meal, and sent more than 100 invitations by the way, inviting many county officials and prestigious people.
At the beginning of the banquet, Zhuo Wangsun led all the guests to propose a toast to Sima Xiangru and said many flattering words. While everyone was enjoying themselves, Wang Ji introduced to everyone: "Mr. Xiang Ru is the first celebrity today. He not only writes well, but also plays the piano well. There is good wine to entertain guests today. Why not ask Mr. Xiang Ru to play a song? " Hearing this, the crowd cheered in unison.
Sima Xiangru declined and began to play, playing a short song first. Later, she overheard a vague white woman listening to the piano behind the bamboo curtain. Knowing that it was Zhuo Wenjun, she displayed her superb piano skills and played a song "Looking for Phoenix". Through the piano, she expressed her courtship to Zhuo Wenjun. It turned out that Zhuo Wenjun had long wanted to meet this great genius when he heard of Sima Xiangru's visit. She loves music and hides behind the curtain when she hears the piano. Zhuo Wenjun deeply understood the piano theory and realized the significance of piano sound. And the guests at the party, of course, don't recognize why, just compliment Sima Xiangru blindly and clap your hands blindly.
After Sima Xiangru came back, he bribed Zhuo Wenjun's servant and sent a courtship letter to Zhuo Wenjun through the servant. Zhuo Wenjun was very excited when she received the love letter, but she knew that her father would not agree to this marriage. Then one night, he sneaked out and defected to Sima Xiangru. They drove back to Sima Xiangru's hometown of Chengdu overnight. Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru came to Chengdu. At first, they were content with living in poverty, but after a long time, they couldn't stand it any longer, so they suggested going to Lin Qiong. Sima Xiangru also have no other way, two people together to Lin Qiong.
Zhuo Wangsun was very angry with Zhuo Wenjun's elopement and refused to help them. In order to make a fool of themselves, they opened a couple's hotel, where Wen Jun sold wine as a waiter, as if deliberately washing dishes, chopsticks, cups and plates in public and serving wine in a kettle, like a bartender.
Sure enough, Zhuo Wangsun thought that Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru were too embarrassed to go out. Later, under the persuasion of relatives and friends and the county magistrate, Sima Xiangru got a sum of money. Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun returned to Chengdu and began a rich life.
fall in love
Zhuo Wenjun: For details, please refer to Loneliness, Yuan, Ming Zaju and Elopement, and the legend of Autumn written by Yuan Yuling in Qing Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, when Sima Xiangru was frustrated, he played the piano in the home of Lin Qiongfu's Zhuo Wangsun. Zhuo Nv Wenjun, with both talents and looks, was 65438+ widowed at the age of 07. Sima Xiangru admired Wen Jun, confided in her through the piano, and they formed an alliance. Because Zhuo Wangsun refused to promise her, Wen Jun fled together and returned to his hometown to sell wine. Later, Xiang Ruxian presented his son Xu Fu, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshipped him as a corps commander, and Zhuo Wangsun presented him with money.
Zhuo Wenjun was born in the Han Dynasty. He was born in a wealthy family in Lin Qiong, Sichuan, and he raised Jinshan Yinshan. She looks like a distant mountain, looks like a lotus flower, is familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, got married at the age of seventeen, and returned to her mother's house six months after her husband died. At this time, a poor boy came to Zhuo's house and played the famous "Phoenix Begging for Phoenix" with the famous "Green Chyi Chin", which provoked the heart of the widow of 17 years old and went to see him in the middle of the night. The next day, he simply ran to the hometown of the poor boy in Chengdu. Of course, we all know that this poor boy is Sima Xiangru, a famous genius in the Western Han Dynasty. But Zhuo Wenjun didn't know it at the time. She was busy cleaning up Sima Xiangru's mess.
Sima Xiangru' s lofty sentiments are not diminished, and the wine is drunk today; Zhuo Wenjun also put on a cloth skirt and started a new life. A few months later, they simply sold their horses and chariots and returned to Lin Qiong to open a small restaurant. Zhuo Wenjun wore light makeup. When selling wine, Sima Xiangru put on calf nose pants, washed dishes with the bartender and servants, and ran errands in the fields.
Zhuo Wenjun is a rare woman who doesn't advocate vanity. Sima Xiangru is also a rare scholar who doesn't feel inferior at all. The small hotel run by this talented and beautiful woman is well-known and crowded, forcing Zhuo Wangsun to give them one hundred children and servants, one million dollars, and also prepared a dowry to accept the son-in-law who cooked raw rice into mature rice. From then on, the young couple lived a leisurely life of drinking and playing the piano all day.
At this time, Sima Xiangru wrote the brilliant Zi Xufu and Shang. The ambitious emperor marveled at heaven and man, and worshipped Sima Xiangru as a corps commander, and later worshipped him as a corps commander. Sima Xiangru's glorious return really made his father-in-law Zhuo Wangsun look good.
China's classical literature will always be "a private lifelong back garden, and it will be the best in the world". This vulgar tradition seems to be based on Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru. Talking about the love story of "discerning talents", in fact, you can see at a glance that this is a shy political investment. Watch a lot of operas. Women sacrifice their lives to support men to study. Where is the pursuit of love? It's like Bole pawning his pants and betting on horses. Since it is gambling, there must be a loss and a win. In The Story of the Pipa The West Chamber, Zhao Wuniang and Cui Yingying won, and finally they won their husbands. Qin Xianglian lost, which made God behead her ungrateful champion ... However, no matter what the result, it's always a bit sad to passively bear many sufferings out of nothing.
China's traditional morality has always had a "goal correctness theory", and he often gave up real life for fame and fortune. So it is generally difficult for me to sympathize with the bitter women in ancient history. People used to live too seriously and too tired, and didn't know that fun was the essence of life.
Zhuo Wenjun's desire for her husband's fame has never been recorded, but it is obvious that she will enjoy a different lifestyle from Sima Xiangru. After Sima Xiangru died, this mortal wanted to marry a wife. Zhuo Wenjun could not bear to write a poem "Poem on a White Head", saying, "The mountains are as white as snow, and the moon is bright between the clouds. I heard that you have two hearts, so I came to break up with you. Today is like the last party, and tomorrow we will break up. You stop by the ditch, and the ditch water flows east and west. When I decided to take the king away from home, I didn't cry like an ordinary girl. I hope to win a heart and never give up. The bamboo pole curls, and the fish tail acts as a disciple. A man's heart is heavy, why use a money knife? " Let Sima Xiangru come to their senses, two people grow old together, live in nymphs.
My husband is very appreciated.
Dou Taihou advocated the theory of "Huang Lao", deposed Dou Ying and Tian Yong who supported Confucianism, and appointed several foolish people as prime ministers, censors and practitioners. Emperor Wu didn't want to discuss with them. Staying in the palace is really boring. He often changes into casual clothes and goes out to play and hunt. Sometimes he runs far and doesn't come back for four or five days. Later, he felt that running too far was not only dangerous, but also really difficult, so he ordered Dr. Guanglu Wu Qiushou Wang Tuo to build a big garden in the forest. The young Emperor Wu spent most of his time in Shanglinyuan.
Yawen of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked Ci Fu, and famous literati such as Dongfang Shuo and Qiu Shouwang often accompanied him and were very happy.
One day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty read Sima Xiangru's Zi Xufu, and was attracted by the beautiful words and majestic momentum. He couldn't help applauding. After reading Zi Xu's Fu in one breath, I thought that the author was a former dynasty, and repeatedly sighed and said, "The person who wrote this Fu is really a genius, but unfortunately I didn't live in the same era as this person."
At this time, Yang Deyi, the dog supervisor who waited beside Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, said with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, the person who wrote this fu knows that he is a fellow countryman and now lives in Chengdu."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Is what you said true?" Yang Deyi replied: "Yes, Sima Xiangru once told me that he wrote" Nothing "."
"That's great! No one has ever told me about such a talented person. " Emperor Wu said with a little regret, so he immediately sent someone to call Sima Xiangru to Beijing.
Let's talk about Sima Xiangru being called into the court. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw him and asked him, "Did you write Zixu Fu?"
Sima Xiangru replied with great conceit, "Yes, Your Majesty, I wrote Zixu Fu. However, that's about the prince. It's no big deal. If you allow me to hunt with your majesty, I can write a hunting gift for your majesty. "
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy. Sima Xiangru received luxurious accommodation and generous treatment. The next day, I took Sima Xiangru and others to hunt in the forest. A few days later, Sima Xiangru wrote a poem "On the Forest" and dedicated it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty read Lin Fu and was very satisfied. He was so happy that he sealed a Langguan in Sima Xiangru.
Later, as the special envoy of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Sima Xiangru appealed to Yelang to submit to the Han Dynasty, which was appreciated by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. When the leaders of Qionglai, Ai, Ran and Zhen saw Yelang's submission to the Han Dynasty, they all expressed their willingness to submit to the Han Dynasty. So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Sima Xiangru as a corps commander and held a sacred festival for the emperor to appease the tribes in these areas. Sima Xiangru successfully completed his mission, and Emperor Wu was very satisfied and rewarded him. Soon, someone wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying that Sima Xiangru accepted a lot of money and bribes when he was on mission. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed it, he dismissed Sima Xiangru.
Sima Xiangru was rich and happy, so he moved his family to Maoling and lived a leisurely life with Zhuo Wenjun.
Feng Qiuhuang Sima Xiangru's song "Feng Qiuhuang" touched the heart of talented woman Zhuo Wenjun, and "Night Running in Wen Jun" interpreted an elopement story that has been sung for a hundred years. These two piano pieces are said to be the lyrics of "Phoenix" sung by Sima Xiangru. Because this word is not included in the historical records, it was first included in Yu Tai Xin Yong in the Southern Dynasties, with a preface, and books such as Lei Ju of Literature and Art in the Tang Dynasty and Yuefu Poetry in the Song Dynasty were also included, so it was Sima Xiangru who pretended to be close to the people or suspected of being close to the people. The first piano piece expressed Sima Xiangru's infinite admiration and ardent pursuit for Zhuo Wenjun. Zhuo Wenjun is not so much a phoenix as Sima Xiangru, which has multiple meanings in the specific background of this piano piece. First, the phoenix is a legendary bird. The male bird is called the phoenix, and the female bird is called the phoenix. Phoenix is the king of birds, so compared with Phoenix, it means heroic and pretentious. Secondly, the ancients often used "Feng Huang Yu Fei" and "chorus of husband and wife" to describe the harmony and beauty of husband and wife. Here, it means that Sima Xiangru pursues Zhuo Wenjun, while "traveling around the world" means that a good couple is rare. Third, Phoenix is related to music. Zhuo Wenjun's elegant music and the piano sound of Sima Xiangru's "Seeking the Emperor" just metaphor the meaning of finding a bosom friend with the heart of the piano, which reminds people of the musical exchange between Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi, thus giving a sigh that a bosom friend is hard to find. The second piano piece is bolder and fiercer, secretly dating Zhuo Wenjun in the middle of the night and eloping together. The first two sentences call for Zhuo Wenjun's tryst, and three or four sentences imply that they love each other and elope overnight, and no one knows; Five or six sentences show that you are far away, reminding each other not to let me down, and feeling sorry for homesickness in vain. The reason why these two Qin Ge poems won the admiration of later generations lies in the strong anti-feudal thoughts expressed in Looking for Phoenix.
Sima Xiangru is good at playing drums, and his "Luqi" piano is one of the best in legend. Sima Xiangru originally came from a poor family, but his poems are very famous. Liang Wang praised his great talent and gave him a piano called Qingqi, which was engraved with the inscription "Tongzi is the essence", which was a rare and precious instrument at that time. Sima Xiangru's "Luqi" is a treasure. His superb piano skills and the wonderful timbre of "Luqi" made the piano "Luqi" famous for a while. Later, "Luqi" became another name for Guqin. This piano was used by Sima Xiangru to play Phoenix, and Zhuo Wenjun ran away at night after listening to it. The so-called "green love" makes this piano more legendary.
Sima Xiangru changed his name to Xiang Ru because he admired Lin Xiangru, a famous minister of Zhao who "returned to Zhao unscathed" and "reconciled with Zhao". Sima Xiangru is proficient in Chu Ci and good at writing Ci and Fu. During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, he served as a constant attendant of Wuqi. However, because Jingdi didn't like Ci Fu, he couldn't display his talents. He often admitted that he was ill and was dismissed by Jingdi. Later, he swam with Mei Cheng in Liang Xiaowang, where he wrote the famous Zi Xufu. Liang Xiaowang died short-lived, and the guests scattered. Sima Xiangru returned to his hometown of Chengdu, where his parents had died and his family was surrounded, and there was nothing to support themselves. According to Records of Historical Records and Biography of Sima Xiangru, he went to Beijing to be an official in Shu, and was invited by his good friend Lin Qiong (now Qionglai, Sichuan) to visit. Zhuo Wenjun, the daughter of Zhuo Wangsun, the richest man in the local area, has a distant eyebrow and a hibiscus face. She is both talented and beautiful, and she is proficient in piano, chess, painting and calligraphy. When Zhuo Wenjun was seventeen, he promised to marry Dou Jia, but her husband died before he was hired, and he became a widow. Young people in Zhuo Wenjun are widows. Naturally, I feel hurt and sad at the moon and spring flowers.
On one occasion, Zhuo Wangsun held a grand banquet for hundreds of people. Zhuo Wang Sun admired Sima Xiangru's reputation and invited Wang Ji and Xiang Ru as distinguished guests. During the dinner, Wang Ji introduced Xiang Ru, who is proficient in piano art, and invited Sima Xiangru to play the piano. I have long heard that Zhuo Wangsun has a daughter with both talents and looks, so I took the opportunity of being a guest at Zhuo's house and played two piano pieces "Phoenix Begging for Phoenix" in public. I intend to use the piano to pour out my heart, so as to provoke Wen Jun and express my love for Zhuo Wenjun. This kind of action, which seems straightforward, bold and enthusiastic today, naturally makes the beautiful and versatile Zhuo Wenjun feel heartache. Zhuo Wenjun listened to Sima Xiangru's piano behind the screen, and a song "Phoenix Begging for Phoenix" touched her heart of being unwilling to feudal ethics and being a widow for life. At that time, Zhuo Wenjun was quite moved by talent. "Wen Jun stole it from home. He was very happy, so he was worried that he wouldn't." After listening to the piano, Zhuo Wenjun understood the meaning of music, and blushed and yearned for it. Later, Sima Xiangru courted Zhuo Wenjun through a maid, and Zhuo Wenjun ran away like a residence at night. After meeting Sima Xiangru, they fell in love at first sight and agreed to elope. That night, Zhuo Wenjun packed up and went out of the house, met Sima Xiangru who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and eloped back to Chengdu together, thus completing the most brilliant event in their lives and leaving a well-known story. Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun boldly broke through the net of feudal ethics and patriarchal clan system, and all feudal sacred ethics were trampled underfoot by their bold elopement, which became a banner for young men and women in later generations to strive for marriage autonomy and love freedom.
On this matter, Zhuo Wangsun was naturally furious, thinking that Sima Xiangru was disgraced, and his precious daughter was too disappointing to elope in the dead of night, which ruined his family style and made him lose face. Sima Xiangru is a poor man. Back in Chengdu, Zhuo Wenjun pawned her headdress because she was poor. Sima Xiangru's lofty sentiments are undiminished, and he lives a carefree life with today and no tomorrow. Zhuo Wenjun also exchanged food for food, and he didn't care about his future livelihood at all. A few months later, they simply sold their horses and chariots and returned to Lin Qiong to open a small restaurant. Zhuo Wenjun sells wine in plain clothes, supercilious and comfortable. For the sake of everlasting love, Sima Xiangru did not play the violin, but put on leg-plate-nose pants, worked with servants, washed dishes in the city, served as a waiter, washed dishes in pots and pans, and did chores, laughing and laughing. In this way, although life is a little bitter, they are happy and not tired of the world. To this end, Lin Qiong has also become the hometown of brewing in history, and Wenjun wine has also become a famous historical wine. Luo Yin's poem Peach Blossom in the Tang Dynasty says, "How many Wenjun wines?" Legend has it that Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru left a "Wenjun Well" and a piano platform for playing the piano. The poem "Wenjun Well" written by Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty said: "I was down and out in Xizhou clay glass, drunk several times on the piano platform, and my green shoes laughed freely and came to Wenjun Well again."
Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun sell alcohol, which is big news in Lin Qiong. Suddenly caused a sensation far and near, and the small hotel was crowded and very lively. When the news reached Sun's ears, he felt that if he had a daughter, it would be a great shame on his face. Plus, he couldn't stand the persuasion of relatives and friends, so he compromised and admitted their love. He had no choice but to give them 100 children and servants, a million dollars, and a dowry to accept the son-in-law who cooked raw rice into mature rice. Both husband and wife returned to Chengdu, bought land and houses, became rich, and lived a leisurely life of drinking and writing poems all day. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty acceded to the throne and read Zixu Fu, which was quite appreciated, so he recalled Sima Xiangru to Chang 'an.
The characters' early life experiences
During the Wenjing period of the Han Dynasty, the Zhuo family in Lin Qiong County of Shu County (Qionglai, Chengdu, Sichuan) was passed on to Zhuo Wangsun. Due to social stability and proper management, Zhuo Jia became a rich man with thousands of hectares of fertile land; Huatang Qiyuan, a high-speed car; As for gold and silver jewelry and antiques, they are even more numerous. Zhuo Wenjun, the daughter of Zhuo Wangsun, a giant businessman in labor in Sichuan, is beautiful in appearance, proficient in melody, good at playing the piano and famous for her writing style. Married at the age of sixteen, her husband died a few years later and returned to her family.
Wen Jun listens to the piano.
After Liang Xiaowang's death, Sima Xiangru returned to Chengdu. However, his family is poor and he has no job to support himself. Xiangru and Lin Qiong county magistrate Wang Ji have always had a good relationship. Wang Ji said, "Evergreen, you have been away from home for a long time and are not satisfied with your work. Come and see me. " So Xiangru went to Lin Qiong and lived in a pavilion in the city. Lin Qiong county magistrate pretends to be respectful and visits Xiangru every day. At first, Xiang Ru was treated with courtesy. Later, he lied that he was ill and asked his entourage to refuse Ji Wang's visit. But Ji Wang is more cautious and respectful.
There are many rich people in Lin Qiong County. For example, there are 800 domestic slaves in Zhuo Wangsun's family and hundreds of domestic slaves in his family. The two men discussed with each other and said, "The county magistrate has a distinguished guest. We are going to have a banquet, please invite him. " Please also ask the county magistrate. When the magistrate arrived at Zhuojia, Zhuojia had hundreds of guests. At noon, I went to ask Sima Changqing, who refused to come because of illness. Lin Qiongling didn't come to see Xiangru, so she didn't dare to eat. She went to see Xiangru herself. As a last resort, I reluctantly came to Zhuo's home, and all the guests were amazed at his style. When the wine was hot, the magistrate of Lin Qiong stepped forward, put the piano in front of Xiangru and said, "I heard that Changqing likes playing the piano very much, and I hope to listen to a song to help me enjoy myself." Like a polite refusal, he played one or two songs, such as Yellow.
At this time, Zhuo Wangsun had a daughter named Zhuo Wenjun, who was just widowed and liked music very much. She pretended to be respectful to the county magistrate and secretly used the piano to seduce her feelings. Xiang Ru came to Qionglai, followed by horses and chariots, handsome, quiet and elegant, very generous. When Zhuo was drinking and playing the piano, Zhuo Wenjun secretly looked at him through the crack of the door. He was happy and especially liked him, but he was afraid that he was not worthy of him.
Wen Jun runs at night.
After the banquet, Xiangru sent someone to reward the waiter in Wen Jun with a large sum of money to express her appreciation. So Zhuo Wenjun ran away from home overnight, eloped with Wen Jun and hurried back to Chengdu.
When you sell wine.
When I walked into Sima Xiangru's house, I found there was nothing but four walls. Zhuo Wangsun was furious when he learned that his daughter had eloped: "My daughter is extremely useless. I can't bear to hurt her, but I won't give her a penny. " Someone advised Zhuo Wangsun, but he wouldn't listen.
