Hangzhou historical beauties

Why are there so many beauties in Hangzhou?

Because many beauties from other provinces have come to Hangzhou! Of course there are many beauties in Hangzhou! And there is a Chinese Women’s Clothing City in Hangzhou! Of course there are more women too! Come buy clothes and stuff! Lazy Hangzhou Xishi-like beautiful Jiangnan women In fact, every outsider who comes to Hangzhou will always have a sense of fantasy when he sits facing the West Lake, because he may know that every inch of land beside the West Lake, under the feet Every brick is a piece of history - a legend of beautiful women, wine and romantic poetry.

Especially in February when the peach blossoms are blooming or in October when the golden osmanthus is fragrant, when he squints his eyes and breathes in the unique smell of Hangzhou in the air, his first thought is, An idea that belongs not only to literati but also to men—where are the beauties in Hangzhou? Will you have the experience of searching for her on Baidu in your dreams, only to pass her by when you go to the toilet? You can't wait outside the toilet at this time. Where are the beauties in Hangzhou? Even locals in Hangzhou will be stunned by such a question, not just because they are in this mountain, but because they have different opinions on the origin of the standard beauty.

People who are a little more traditional, or people who are only traditional in certain places, will think that the beauties in Hangzhou have gone outside, such as the movie star Wang Xiaotang in the 1950s and 1960s ("Heroes and Hardcore"). 》played the female spy Miss Alan), such as Wang Yingxia in the 1930s, this Hangzhou woman who fascinated the talented man and martyr Yu Dafu. All talent shows in China will have branch venues in Hangzhou, and assistant directors from all over China will set up camp in Hangzhou.

The recent Miss Image of the Western Expo is considered to be the most supported beauty pageant in the modern history of Hangzhou - because this is a living business card of Hangzhou. During this beauty pageant, there was a saying in Hangzhou that when two French foreign girls also came to sign up to participate, the beauties in Hangzhou couldn't sit still - their French beauties are famous in the world, but they cannot represent our Hangzhou! It was unbearable, but finally, the lady who had been raised in the boudoir and no one knew her made her appearance. Most people believed that this was the appearance of the real Hangzhou beauties, and those in front were just some quasi-star followers and people who joined in the fun.

In those days, some units, such as banks, civil aviation and other places where the probability of producing beautiful women was relatively high, had collectively signed up to participate. In those days, the taxi business in Hangzhou was booming. Well, the drivers have both wealth and wealth, and they can be regarded as substitute assistant directors. However, after the beauties were selected, there was a lot of discussion among the public. The key is not to convince people with their "color".

Because in a place like Hangzhou, if you walk by the West Lake every day, you will die of thirst - in other words, is this beauty selection convincing? And those judging panels composed of TV people and celebrities (such as Zhao An, Chen Yifei, etc.), can they really keep their word? Is their standard of beauty really better than that of the street boy's brother Ta'er? not necessarily. If you pass by this beautiful and lazy city like a water bird rushing across the water, you may be a little disappointed because the beauty does not float on the water. In the West Lake, only those fish that surface can be picked up by water birds.

Like many cities, beauties always appear at night, which inevitably leads to some ambiguous thoughts. However, in Hangzhou, beauties are mostly like the lotus flowers in the West Lake, emerging from the mud but not stained - this This is not a compliment, but a professional spirit that beautiful women must have. At least they must maintain such an ethics before they "retire". This makes it possible that even if you have many ideas, the best way is, as the ancients said, to look at things from afar instead of close up - and this has nothing to do with high moral standards.

A friend from out of town once said that Hangzhou is somewhat charming and evil, which refers to the smell in the air. I don’t know if this is related to the White Snake and the White Snake. Another background is that the police in Hangzhou are “cracking down hard” every day, 365 days a year, which has almost become a tradition.

Therefore, the "Hangzhou Beauty Map" described by the author is just a simple guidebook. There will be some matters (game rules) in it that you need to abide by, otherwise you will become an unpopular person in Hangzhou. At least among the people, in the situation I'm talking about, even if you spend a lot of money. Of course, it is difficult for everyone to come to a conclusion about the standard of beauty, because everyone has a certain scale in their mind.

This is like the view of a city. It has a dirty side and a clean side, although this is an expression that does not convey the meaning. Let’s outline the map of beauties in Hangzhou based on the direction of the city. Most of them are scattered and gathered in bars, discos, nightclubs, and any other place where beautiful women may come and go. No, in other words, as long as it is a place where women come and go, or It is said that wherever well-established and wealthy men come and go, you are likely to encounter beautiful women.

The divisions between east, west, south, north, and center are sometimes inaccurate. Now we can only use Wulin Gate Wulin Square as the city center and start searching from east to west, north, south, and west. To the west of the West Lake, the Provincial Art School, the World Trade Center, the Chen Jinglun and Pao Yugang Swimming Center form a triangle area, and are only a hundred meters apart.

The Provincial Art School is undoubtedly the base camp of beauties in Hangzhou and even the whole province, with celebrities such as Zhou Xun, who is currently popular, coming from here. Although they only train some Shaoxing opera singers and dancers, because they are all beautiful embryos aged 17 or 18, no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, they look as if they were fished out of the West Lake - watery, which is a major feature of Hangzhou women. .

The Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe also lived here in the past, so if you linger here, you may meet some late beauties. He Saifei and Tao Huimin (famous for playing Xiaobaicai) were both Xiaobaihua’s Famous characters, Hangzhou people have extended the meaning of "little cabbage" to very tender. The "Heaven on Earth" in the World Trade Center is probably a place where local beauties in Hangzhou are willing to come and go, because compared with some discotheques, it is quieter here, and beauties can better show their beauty in a quiet mood, while sporty beauties can show off their beauty in a strong state. Shows its sexy energy in the dance.

The atmosphere of the bar is good. The beauties will accompany the guests to drink. Of course, their hands cannot be idle. Their dice playing skills are definitely more professional than the guests, but when it comes to drinking, not all of them may be nine-dan. of. One thing to note here is that we need a little pity for beauties. Letting them get drunk is actually a kind of blasphemy and destruction of beauty.

You are not interested in drinking, but she is indeed. Is there such a beauty as Xi Shi in history?

Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, and Yang Yuhuan are known as the four beauties in ancient China. Among them, Xi Shi ranks first and is the incarnation and synonym of beauty.

The four beauties enjoy the "appearance of a woman shy of the moon, and an appearance of a fish that sinks before the geese". "Closing moon, shameful flowers, sinking fish, falling wild geese" are historical allusions composed of wonderful stories.

"Closing the Moon" tells the story of Diao Chan worshiping the moon. "Shame on Flowers" tells the story of Concubine Yang when she was watching flowers.

"Sinking Fish" tells the story of Xi Shi's time in the sand. "Luoyan" is the story of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress.

Xi Shi, whose original name was Shi Yiguang, was born in Zhuluo Village, Zhuji, Zhejiang during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Natural beauty.

At that time, the State of Yue declared itself a vassal to the State of Wu, and King Gou Jian of Yue lay on his back and tasted his gall in order to revive his country. When the country was in crisis, Xi Shi endured the humiliation and pledged herself to the country. Together with Zheng Dan, King Gou Jian of Yue dedicated her to King Wu Fu Chai. She became the King of Wu's favorite concubine. It acted as a cover and showed the noble thoughts and sentiments of a patriotic woman.

Later Wu was finally destroyed by Gou Jian. Legend has it that after Wu was destroyed, Xi Shi and Fan Li went boating across the five lakes without knowing where they ended up. They have always been remembered by future generations.

Shi Yiguang lived in Zhuluo Village (now Huansha Village in the south of Zhuji City) under Zhuluo Mountain (also known as Luoshan). There are two villages in Zhuluo, the east and west. Yiguang lives in the west village, so it is named Xishi.

Her father sells firewood, and her mother washes yarn. Xishi often washes yarn in the stream, so she is also called the girl who washes yarn.

Xi Shi was naturally beautiful and endowed with extraordinary talents. According to legend, even her morbid condition of frowning and stroking her breasts was imitated by neighboring girls, so there is an allusion of "Eastern Shi imitating her frown".

In the third year of King Goujian of Yue (494 BC), Fu Chai defeated the State of Yue in Fujiao (southwest of today's Wu County, Jiangsu Province). King Goujian of Yue retreated to Kuaiji Mountain (south of Shaoxing, today's Xijiang Province), and was besieged by the Wu army. Forced to seek peace from the state of Wu, Gou Jian entered Wu as a hostage. After his release, Gou Jian aimed at the weakness of "King Wu's lewdness and lechery" and devised a plan with Fan Li to "obtain the salary girls Xi Shi and Zheng Dan from Zhuji Luoshan" and prepare to give them to the King of Wu. A palace maid favored by the King of Yue thought: "The real A beautiful woman must have three conditions, one is beauty, the other is good at singing and dancing, and the third is body shape."

Xi Shi only has the first condition and lacks the other two conditions. So, it took three years to teach singing, dancing, walking, etiquette, etc.

Xi Shi practiced hard, dancing gracefully and charmingly in the melodious music, and then practiced etiquette. A girl with veils became a well-educated palace maid. She has a beautiful body and treats people very well. Then, he made gorgeous palace clothes for her and presented them to the King of Wu.

King Wu Fu Chai was overjoyed and built the Chunxiao Palace in Gusu, built a large pool with a green dragon boat in it, and played with Xi Shi in the water. He also built a pavilion for Xi Shi to perform singing, dancing and banquets, Xi Shi was good at dancing the "ringing clogs dance" in the memorial hall, and Fu Chai built a "ringing clogs gallery" specifically for her. He used hundreds of large vats covered with wooden boards, and Xi Shi danced in clogs, with small bells tied to her skirts. The echo of *** and the big cylinder, "铮 ，" intertwined together, making the husband and not like being drunk, Shen Yan's female color, ignored the government, and finally moved towards the death of the dead country. After the death of Wu, it is said that Xi Shi followed Fan Li in a small boat and traveled across the five lakes without knowing where he ended up.

On the route that Xi Shi took from Yue to Wu, from Zhuji in the south to Suzhou in the north, there are ruins of Xi Shi everywhere. At the foothills of Zhuji Luo Mountain and on the banks of the Huansha River, there are still historic sites such as Huansha Stone, Huansha Pavilion, Xishi Beach, Xishi Square, and Xishi Hall.

Xi Shi has the appearance of a "sinking fish". It is said that when Xi Shi was washing her yarn by the stream, the fish in the water were attracted by her beauty and were so stunned that they forgot to swim and even sank to the bottom of the water. Therefore, later generations used "sinking fish" to describe a woman's beauty.

When the sunken fish falls and the wild goose closes under the moon, the flower will be ashamed, but the sunken fish comes first. Among the four beautiful beauties of the country, Xi Shi ranks first.

Xishi inherited the business of Huansha at a young age, and was known as the "Huansha Girl" in her old life. In order to commemorate this extraordinary beauty who endured humiliation and sacrificed her life for the country, later generations built the Xishi Palace at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain.

During the Kaicheng period of the Tang Dynasty (AD 836-840), the famous poet Li Shangyin wrote the poem "Xi Zi is looking for the palace, Zhaojun is looking for his old village"; later, the female poet Yu Xuanji also wrote the poem "Xi Shi Temple". These are the earliest texts about Xishi Palace that can be seen so far.

In the Ming Dynasty, Xizi Temple was of considerable scale. Since then, it has been revived and abandoned many times.

The current Xishi Hall is located in Zhuji, Zhejiang. It was completed in 1990. The scenic area covers an area of ??5,000 square meters and consists of the gate tower, Xishi Hall, Guyue Terrace, Zhengdan Pavilion, Stele Gallery, Red Pink Pond, Sunken Fish Pond, and Xianxian Pavilion. and other attractions. During the reconstruction process, the Xishi Palace Scenic Area also collected more than 12,000 ancient architectural components from the private sector that were removed from old-fashioned residential buildings, including beams, columns, doors, windows, corbels, arches, brackets, sparrows, etc. The exquisitely carved wood and stone components and superb craftsmanship greatly enhance the historical and cultural connotation and ornamental value of Xishi Hall, giving it a strong local character.

Another way to say Xi Shi’s hometown: When it comes to Xi Shi’s hometown, most people will say it is Zhuji, but in fact, the real Xi Shi’s hometown is Linpu Town, Xiaoshan. In ancient times, there were "Shangzhuji" and "Xiazhuji" along the Puyang River. Xishi was born in Xiazhuji, which is the lower reaches of the Puyang River.

In the Qin Dynasty, Zhuji County was included in these two parts. In the Western Han Dynasty, Xia Zhuji was established as a separate county and was called "Yuji". In the Wu Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, it was renamed "Yongxing". In the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, it was officially renamed "Xiaoshan". ”, which is still used today. Although Xi Shi's hometown is in today's Xiaoshan County, it belongs to the hometown of Zhuji County, so people customarily call Xi Shi a native of Zhuji.

The administrative divisions of Linpu have indeed changed in history. Since ancient times, Linpu Town has been under the jurisdiction of Xiaoshan and Zhuji. Especially in Shanyin Street in the town, there has been a saying since ancient times that "if Shanyin is not collected, Kuaiji will not be taken care of".

Another example is the famous poet He Zhizhang of the Tang Dynasty, who was originally from Yongxing, Yuezhou (Shaoxing), which is Xiaoshan. Xiaoshan had been subordinate to Shaoxing before liberation, and later it was changed to Hangzhou.

There are many books saying that He Zhizhang was from Hangzhou. In fact, He Zhizhang is from Xiaoshan and of course from Hangzhou.

But from a cultural perspective, it is more appropriate to say that he is from Shaoxing. Therefore, the examination of Xi Shi's hometown can also be explained.

Xishi is from Zhuji and Linpu, but Linpu was under the jurisdiction of Zhuji at that time. About Huansha Creek: It is said that when Xi Shi entered Wu, he was accompanied by Fan Li. The boat started from Yue Guoji, followed the Xi Xiaojiang, and passed Zhuluo Mountain to come here.

It was almost dusk. Xishi looked at her hometown where the sun was setting in the west, thinking that she would leave her hometown and go to the Kingdom of Wu and commit herself to the King of Wu, so she burst into tears. Fan Li knew Xi Shi's mood well, so he decided to stay here for the night.

It was late summer and early autumn, Jiang.
