Why is it the first of the four most beautiful women in China?
When I go to Suzhou, I want to see the stone most. Obviously, this is impossible. Then let me imagine beauty. Imagine her dancing on the pier of the green flag under the stone arch bridge, teasing the fish to peck her shadow; Imagine her walking through the cloister of the winding bridge step by step. The satin of slippers is embroidered with exquisite patterns. Everyone knows the beauty of stone, but what does it look like and to what extent is it beautiful? No one can answer. Even if we know the clothes of women in wuyue in the Spring and Autumn Period, we can only sum up the natural beauty of Shi: Is she as big as a modern star? What's the big deal? Double on whose basis? Therefore, the ultimate beauty is unimaginable. There is a proverb in China: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Since history has been regarded as a model of beauty throughout the ages, I might as well render it: all men in China can be regarded as lovers of history, and I am one of them. Although the beauty in your eyes may not be ancient beauty, they have the same charm for you. History is not anymore. She has become a beautiful alias. More importantly, all the women in China also recognize the beauty among beauties, so the beauty among beauties is invincible. Who wouldn't want to meet her if she were alive today? I am a poet. What does it matter if I sing a love song to Shi in public? More than two thousand years have passed, and the walls of the old city of Suzhou are still there, and the tiger hills, silk and gardens are still there. Unfortunately, Shi has disappeared. Shi is not in Suzhou today. We will always be sorry tourists. The fame of ancient beauty can be divided into two kinds: one is to preach peace, such as Zhao Jun leaving the village, Princess Wencheng marrying far away and turning enemies into friends; The other is closely related to the war, such as The Story Of Diu Sim, Yang Guifei and Chen Yuanyuan, which led to the opening of the country. Because of the war, the cruelty of beauty was exposed. There are also love stories set off by war scenes, such as Farewell My Concubine. Everyone knows history. She was an important weight in the battle between Wu and Yue, which made the country lose its balance. Apart from the cliches such as closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers, sinking fish and falling geese, I can't find a specific description of the stone's appearance in any ancient book unofficial history, which has not weakened our perception of the stunning beauty of the stone. Isn't that enough? A war and the decline of a powerful country left a heavy legacy in history. The sword and gun rusted, the horror and crying disappeared, and the wound was scarred, but the surreal beauty remained spotless. History is consciously arranged as a prop for war. She unconsciously became the mastermind behind the war. Therefore, beauty is higher than war and reality. It's a pity that no one is sad for Jing Ke's sword. But who doesn't want to be far away from the stone? I don't know why, the beauty of the East always reminds me of Helen in the West. Homer's epic Iliad is the cornerstone of the history of European literature, which describes a protracted struggle for the beauty Helen in ancient Greece. In laocoon, the German writer Lessing said: Homer deliberately avoided the details of describing the beauty of objects. From his poems, we only occasionally hear that Helen's arms are white and her hair is beautiful. However, it is Homer who gives us an understanding of Helen's beauty far beyond art. Because Homer let Helen appear in the meeting place of the war-torn and grumbling Trojans, these distinguished old people forgot their complaints as soon as they saw Helen, and whispered to each other: No one would blame the Trojans and Greeks for a long and painful war for this woman. She really looks like an immortal goddess! So Lessing sighed: It is worthwhile to let those hard-hearted old people admit that this is a war and shed a lot of blood and tears. What can arouse the vivid image of beauty more than this narrative? Similarly, if there is no contrast between Wu and Yue, Shi is not a stone, but she is just any one of the three thousand makeup, unknown. War is cruel, which leads to the beauty of war is also cruel-but it must be admitted that beauty also gives the legend of war and even the war itself a romantic bright color. Do not love mountains and rivers, love beauty. Fu Cha, the king of Wu, paid a high price for his inclination. He is not destined to be a competent monarch, but a natural lover. When everyone accuses Focha of playing with toys, I think it takes courage to pay the price. You can't have your cake and eat it. If you are empty-handed, you may easily choose from them. Once the country is in control and the beauty is in her arms, it will be much more painful to order you to give up from it. Fucha mistakenly thinks that her beauty is totally unworthy: after all, it is unprecedented beauty. Do you have the courage to choose? The mountains and rivers are waiting for the price, causing countless heroes to compete for the male, and they will not give up until the larger foe is broken. Beauty is priceless, but it makes military strategists fear like tigers and retreat. Therefore, after the death of Wu, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, dared not see the stone. He waved his sleeves at the beautiful scenery on earth and ordered him to put it in a sack and sink into Taihu Lake. In Greek mythology, Oedipus, eager to hear the siren's charming song, ordered all the sailors to plug their ears with cotton wool and tie themselves to the mast with a rope. When the song sounded, he was in pain, eager to join the temptation of water ―― this risky attempt also required courage. It's hard to resist temptation; But it is not so easy to dare to embrace temptation. There is a view that Shi is the first successful honey trap in the history of human espionage, that is to say, Shi is the first female spy in the human war. This is a joke about history. Even if it is true, don't reveal it too directly. Shi, born as a folk woman, has not received any special training. It is estimated that she can't even hold a fruit knife steadily, and she is weak and sick. It is said that her heart is not very good, which is closer to the type of Lin Daiyu in A Dream of Red Mansions, and is completely different from the female spy and female spy in our impression. She likes embroidery, watching fish, wearing silk clothes and pacing between pavilions, so her political consciousness will not be so high. Beauty is only beauty. We should remember this, just as history is just history. I have visited all the streets and alleys in Suzhou, and I have an unspeakable secret in my heart: looking for beauty. This kind of action is doomed to be futile. But this motive is extremely beautiful.
