12 endings of ancient women’s affair

?Twelve endings of ancient women’s affair

From Zhu Yingtai to Du Shiniang, from Bai Suzhen to Yu Xuanji? These familiar names in history are ancient women A brave representative of the pursuit of free love. A woman who can freely love the person she wants to love can be called a woman who dares to love and hate at best today, but back then, she ended up having an affair. Probably because women have always been men's accessories for thousands of years and cannot have the right to control their own lives. Therefore, if you want to love, you can only steal.

It doesn’t matter if you steal well. If you live happily for a lifetime, you will not live up to the reputation of having an affair. If you steal badly, you will only be the song "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix" in this life? Wrong. Wrong, wrong.

Today, what kind of visual impact will the story between them and their lovers bring to us? No matter it is right or wrong, whether it is laughing or scolding, let us look at it one by one.

Zhu Yingtai

"Liang Zhu" can be said to be the most poignant love story in Chinese history, because it does not end with the tomb closing gloomily and the story ending with a chilling atmosphere. Transformed into a butterfly, it symbolizes noble love breaking away from the prison of feudalism, gaining freedom in another way, and flying away together. This open tail makes the whole story lyrical and beautiful, and infinitely opens up the space for imagination.

The whole story of Butterfly Lovers is actually supported by Zhu Yingtai alone, while Liang Shanbo is more like the male partner in the ballet, serving as a foil. Either Zhu Yingtai's acting skills are too good, or Liang Shanbo is really slow. In the past three years, there has never been any doubt about Zhu Yingtai's gender. When seeing each other off, Zhu Yingtai's various metaphors were like playing the piano to an ox. Maybe Liang Shanbo thought Zhu Yingtai had a habit of cutting off his sleeves. .

In fact, Ma Wencai was also very aggrieved. He became a third party without even showing his face. On the best day of his life, his wife jumped into someone else's grave and asked him why he didn't depressed.

Tragedies like Butterfly Lovers will definitely never happen again. Women now have more freedom to study, work, get married, and want to marry a man. There is no such thing as feudalism. The mountains are pressing down, and the authority of parents has been reduced to reference opinions. But those of us like Zhu Yingtai really got married to Liang Shanbo as we wished, but we discovered desolately that Brother Liang was actually nothing more than that.

Guan Panpan

Guan Panpan was originally a famous prostitute in Xuzhou, and was later adopted as a concubine by Zhang Min, the commander-in-chief of Xuzhou. When Bai Juyi traveled to Xuzhou, Zhang Min hosted a banquet in honor of him. During the banquet, his beloved concubine Guan Panpan sang and danced to entertain him. Bai Juyi greatly appreciated Guan Panpan's talent and wrote a poem called "Drunk and charming, the wind carries peonies."

Two years later, Zhang Min died of illness, and his concubines dispersed. Only Guan Panpan could not forget his kindness, so he moved to his old residence, Yanzi Building, determined to live a secluded life, and ten years passed in a blink of an eye. .

When Bai Juyi heard about Guan Panpan's observance of chastity, he thought that since she had persisted for so long, why not simply sacrifice her life to sacrifice her husband and leave a reputation as a chaste and martyr woman, which would be a good story throughout the ages. So he wrote a poem and asked someone to pass it on to Guan Panpan. He didn't hesitate to buy the Emei with gold. He picked up four or five of them like flowers. He taught singing and dancing to the point of exhaustion, and once he was gone, he didn't go with her.

When Guan Panpan saw this poem, he burst into tears immediately. The reason why she didn't die was because she was afraid that others would misunderstand Zhang Min's selfishness and let her concubine die, which would ruin Zhang Min's reputation. Therefore, she lingered and lived for many years. However, Bai Juyi actually used poems to satirize her and forced her to sacrifice her husband. Why not? Guan Panpan, a grieving and chaste person, died on a hunger strike ten days later.

Guan Panpan also died because of those four words that strangled Ruan Lingyu? People say it is terrifying. With the development of the times, women have become less and less afraid of rumors, such as Xu Meifeng and Mu Zimei.

Hong Fu

It is not enough to have a pair of wonderful eyes. You must have a sharp gaze like Hong Fu, and you can distinguish between mediocrity and heroes as soon as you raise your eyes. Hong Fu was a strange woman from the late Sui Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty. She was born in a wealthy family, but she held a first-class imperial title. She was the only one to achieve such a rise to the top in thousands of years.

Of course, Hong Fu’s beauty also played a major role. If he wasn’t a beauty, how could he take the risk of being hunted down by Yang Su and take him in if he knocked on a strange man’s door in the middle of the night? If it weren't for the beautiful woman, how could the man with the beard be so stunning that he couldn't help himself and even fell in love with Li Jing?

A woman who is both beautiful and smart is still not enough, like Liu Rushi, who stands out from the crowd, but still does not end well. She also boldly pursued true love like Hong Fu and walked up to Qian Qianyi. To a certain extent, marrying someone is marrying a destiny.

If a wise beauty does not want to be too miserable for the rest of her life, then her biggest task is to find that tree.

Bu Feiyan

The beauties of the Tang Dynasty were not all plump. There were also light and delicate ones like Bu Feiyan. Bu Feiyan was good at music, proficient in pipa, and even played well. It was well built and could be said to be unique at that time.

Bu Feiyan was determined by his parents to marry Wu Gongye, a meritorious officer from Henan Prefecture who joined the army. As a military general, Wu Gongye has a strong back and strong temper. Bu Feiyan and the delicate-minded Bu Feiyan are completely different people, and there is no way to communicate with him. Therefore, Bu Feiyan is often depressed.

One day, she was admiring flowers in the courtyard, with a bleak expression and slightly frowned eyebrows. She happened to catch a glimpse of Zhao Xiang, who was leaping up during the sword dance next door. Zhao Xiang was twenty years old, handsome and studying for the imperial examination at home. Schoolwork? The sound of his reading aloud once passed through Bu Feiyan's heart, making her stand under the wall and listen attentively.

After the shocking glimpse, Zhao Xiang could no longer forget Bu Feiyan. He paid a lot of money to buy the gatekeeper of the Wu family and asked to convey his longing. The gatekeeper asked his wife to test Bu Feiyan's tone. Zhao Bu and Zhao Bu wrote several poems to each other through the hands of their servants, and established their relationship. Finally, the opportunity came. Wu Gongye was staying at the palace, and Zhao Xiang crossed the wall. From then on, when Wu Gongye stayed at home for the night, Zhao Xiang had a happy meeting with Bu Feiyan.

After two years like this, the matter could no longer be hidden. The news reached Wu Gongye’s ears. He tortured the gatekeeper’s wife and forced her to tell the whole story. Suppressing his anger, he pretended to be on duty and crouched under the wall. At the second watch, he grabbed a piece of Zhao Xiang's clothes, and Zhao Xiang himself fell back to his courtyard. Wu Gongye rushed back to the room and yelled at Bu Feiyan who was dressing up. When Bu Feiyan saw that the matter was exposed, he said lightly, if we love each other in life, there is no need to hate in death. Wu Gongye raised his whip and beat Bu Feiyan to death. Finally, she was buried in the name of dying of a sudden illness.

For two whole years, as a man, I was content with such an affair, doing nothing, not even thinking about elopement. Elopement has to pay a price.

He didn’t know that the woman was calm and calm, without saying a word, and allowed herself to be beaten, never asking for mercy. She bore all the sorrow and misfortune of this evil incident, and she atoneed for her sin with her own life.

Huo Xiaoyu

Huo Xiaoyu was a kabuki performer in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, at the age of sixteen, she fell in love with Li Yi's poems. Li Yi and his younger brother were the champions and were waiting for official positions. In the city of Chang'an, a talented man and a beautiful woman met each other for the first time, and fell in love at first sight. They were inexhaustibly lingering and affectionate.

Then Li Yi betrayed his heart and Huo Xiaoyu was about to die. Everyone in Chang'an City knew that there was a man in yellow shirt who saw an injustice on the road and took Li Yi to Huo Xiaoyu's door. Huo Xiaoyu got up sick and threw wine on the ground to show that it would be difficult to collect the water. Then, he uttered that sad curse: After I die, I will become a fierce ghost, making your wife and concubines uneasy all day long.

Abandoned women have always died quietly. For example, Su Xiaoxiao, Cui Yingying, and even Du Shiniang just committed suicide with a lot of gold and silver jewelry, without ever thinking about revenge.

Huo Xiaoyu is not the same. She repays her with her life, but she will never consider herself unlucky and give up. Nor is it like a third-rate novel, where you see your lover coming, and when you look back, a layer of holy light hangs over your head, you forgive his betrayal, sympathize with his difficulties, interlock your fingers, promise to meet again in the next life, and die miserably? For example In Leslie Cheung's last movie "Alien Space", it was the female ghost who missed her old love and gave up her life.

Forgiveness, such a noble and great word, is not so cheap. For example, in the book "The Insulted and the Injured", there is forgiveness and never forgiveness, which is related to self-esteem.

Du Shiniang

Du Shiniang is a beautiful and calculating woman, otherwise, she would not have been able to quietly accumulate such a huge sum of money in her seven-year career. She was originally a famous prostitute in the capital, and how to deceive men was her specialty. When she had the capital to become a good person, she entrusted her life to the honest man Li Jia, but it was this cowardly and incompetent man who gave her the cruelest blow. With a few words from Sun Fu, she appeared as a human trafficker, pushing her newly freed woman back into the pit of fire.

This is the person she has misjudged the most in her life, and also the most fatal. This tragedy of the treasure box being buried in anger could have been avoided. As long as she opened the box, Li Jia's face would change immediately. But she didn't, she chose the ending of death together, because she was heartbroken, because she was desperate, and she didn't want to live anymore.

Du Shiniang was once so close to happiness. She planned to live in Suzhou and Hangzhou and live a happy life. She had everything, money, freedom, youth, and love? Unfortunately, her love was an illusion. Faced with Li Jia's betrayal and cruelty, Du Shiniang, who was no longer willing to fight and understood the ugliness and selfishness of human nature, chose death.

It is a woman’s greatest misfortune to meet someone who is not kind to her, and to misunderstand someone is a mistake she commits on her own initiative. No matter how the times progress, women will still see the wrong person and choose the wrong man, because women in love are blind.

Lvzhu

Liang Lvzhu of the Jin Dynasty has always been highly praised.

Shi Chong offended Sun Xiu because of her. When she was surrounded by enemies, she jumped up to repay Shi Chong. Even scholar-bureaucrats such as Hong Chengchou and Qian Qianyi may not be able to achieve such chastity and fidelity.

Luzhu was from Baizhou. Shi Chong brought her back when he was on a business trip to Vietnam. She was worth ten husks of pearls and was good at playing the flute. At that time, Shi Chong was already a slightly prosperous middle-aged man. Of course, he was not a mediocre person. He became a county magistrate in his twenties. When he was serving as the governor of Jingzhou, he saw the opportunity and made a fortune by robbing wealthy businessmen. From then on, he lived a squandering life, having parties every day, indulgent in sex, making friends with powerful people, and became a backbone of the upper class society. But later, Shi Chong's backers fell one after another, and his enemy Sima Lun gained real power. At such a critical moment, Sima Lun's confidant Sun Xiu repeatedly asked for the green beads, but Shi Chong still refused.

In the whole story, the most innocent person is Luzhu herself. She has never done anything. She is just naturally beautiful and intelligent. She followed Shi Chong to Chang'an and served her master with all her heart. She is a caged bird in the Golden Valley Garden, with no freedom, and even death is what Shi Chong implies. They all said that this was to repay Shi Chong's kindness with death. What kind of kindness was there? After enjoying a few years of happiness and then dying, it would be better to be free in Baizhou, marry someone, and live a peaceful and stable life.

Marrying someone with wealth and power is not necessarily a blessing, such as Princess Diana.

Bai Suzhen

The story takes place in Suzhou and Hangzhou, West Lake, broken bridges, and misty rain. After a hundred years of cultivation, they were able to cross the same boat, and then they continued their encounter with an umbrella, and then they became a human couple.

Bai Suzhen’s dream is very simple, just to be an ordinary person. She is originally a demon. If she works hard, it is possible to become an immortal. Becoming an immortal is something that many fairies dream of, but Bai Suzhen fell in love with Xu Xian at first sight and abandoned the bright road to devote herself to being a human being.

But in the end, Suzhen died in the hands of the man she loved. When her true form was revealed, she raised her head and looked at Xu Xian? What kind of look was it in her eyes? In this legend, Leifeng Pagoda was built by Fa Hai at first, who had people carrying bricks and stones. Later, Xu Xian begged for help and built a seven-story pagoda, and Bai Suzhen was permanently buried at the bottom of the tower.

It’s just loving someone but being repaired by him personally. She was once obedient to him, gentle and considerate, and devoted herself to being his virtuous wife. In other versions, she was even pregnant. Bai Suzhen's dedication was courageous, so what if she offended the rules of heaven for him? But Xu Xian hesitated, panicked, took precautions, and finally tried to escape. Perhaps Xu Xian could not be blamed blindly. No man could know he was a monster and still love her as usual. For example, the scholar and the demon in "Liao Zhai" fell in love, but it never ended. The so-called "different ways" can only be regarded as a midnight encounter and breakup at dawn.

Unless the love is very deep, very deep, so deep that there is no taboo against those who are not mine, so deep that no matter what you are, it is the same, so deep that you wish I was also a monster and committed a crime with you. . The demon doesn't know how difficult it is to get a man's sincerity. Even if you give him the whole world, he will still think you have a bad background.

That day at Broken Bridge, Bai Suzhen chose the wrong person, or in other words, it was herself who was wrong. She did not have the decisiveness of a demon, but the obsession of someone.

Yu Xuanji

Yu Xuanji, also known as Youwei, was a female poet in the late Tang Dynasty. She came from a humble background. She married Li Yi as a concubine at the age of sixteen. Her original wife, Pei, did not tolerate her, so she had to marry her as a concubine. It is advisable to practice meditation when entering Xian.

After Li Yi and Pei Shi moved to Yangzhou to serve as officials, Yu Xuanji posted a notice on the wall, saying that Yu Xuanji was waiting to be taught poetry. From then on, she was in full bloom, and it was easy to watch the busy traffic. She herself changed from an abandoned wife to a prostitute, and lived a semi-prostitute life.

In the name of poetry, Yu Xuanji made friends with powerful celebrities, such as Wen Tingyun and Li Ying, and became famous far and wide. However, her fate soon took a tragic turn. She suspected that her maid Luqiao was having an affair with her lover Chen Wei. Tong, whipped Lvqiao to death, and buried her under the wisteria flowers in the backyard. One summer night, someone found flies gathering on the soil under the flowers, and secretly summoned the government to investigate. The matter was exposed, and 24-year-old Yu Xuanji was also executed.

There are only a few female poets, and only Yu Xuanji has bloodstained hands and tries the magic with himself. What made a weak woman who had been bullied by the main wife turn into a fierce woman who killed her maid? What made Yu Xuanji, who was both talented and beautiful, have his blood boil and lose all his sanity in an instant?

Having suffered various misfortunes in her personal life, the evil in Yu Xuanji’s character has been aroused. She is cruel, violent, and repressed. It is true that opening the door to accept guests seems to be more free, but what women really want is, It is definitely not the freedom to change dance partners frequently. She was not willing to live in silence with a lonely lantern forever, so she walked on the fireworks road.

Yu Xuanji did not have a good love in his short life. Li Yi was old and henpecked. When Mr. Pei abused Yu Xuanji, he did not step forward to protect him. Yu Xuanji could not even be under the wings of her husband. , to be a faceless woman? Like most concubines.

Women, especially those as beautiful and intelligent as Yu Xuanji, will inevitably become extreme, surly, and full of hatred for life once their emotions are frustrated. This is extreme self-abasement and self-destructive resentment. Once touched, it transforms into soaring murderous aura.

Wang Baochuan

How many eighteen years can a woman have? How do she spend her best years? Wang Baochuan, a famous archway in the Tang Dynasty, was used by the patriarchal society to cover up selfishness and despicability with a halo of nothingness.

There is a faint voice emerging? If a woman keeps the same posture for eighteen years like Wang Baochuan, there will be a day when all the hardships will be over.

Wang Baochuan’s ending was a traditional happy ending. He met Xu Pinggui and his wife, and became one husband with Princess Dai Zhan. It was simply a beautiful story for the ages? Unfortunately, eighteen days later, Wang Baochuan died. Failed to carry out this false happiness for a longer time.

For Xue Pinggui, these eighteen days of glory and wealth were the removal of a shackles from his conscience, if he still had a conscience. They all said that Wang Baochuan broke free from the feudal prison, resisted parental authority, and pursued free love, which was both song and cry. I feel that singing is not necessary, but crying is inevitable. Why don't you cry? You thought you had found your beloved, but you missed it for the rest of your life. He did become a climate, but he didn't belong to her. She sacrificed herself, but in the end, it was just a dream.

Her death was definitely not a result of her wish being fulfilled with a smile on her face, but rather a discovery that the faith she held on to was ridiculously shattered.

Nowadays, there are still tragedies of left-behind ladies who give money to their lover to study in another country. A year and a half later, a message comes from there saying, I'm sorry, I have a new love, you don't have to wait any longer.

Times are indeed progressing. At least with the convenience of communication, women no longer have to wait as long as eighteen years.

Yingying

It was the talented scholar Yuan Zhen who wrote this famous saying: Once upon a time, it was difficult to move the sea, except for Wushan, it was not a cloud.

What I want to talk about is "The Legend of Yingying" based on Yuan Zhen. It is different from the comedy of the reunion of gifted scholars and beauties rewritten by Wang Shifu. This is a tragedy in which Yuan Zhen began to be in chaos and finally gave up. What is despicable is that Yuan Zhen still excuses himself in the article. He said that Yingying is a beauty. If she doesn't harm herself, she will definitely harm others. I had no choice but to overcome my feelings and sever ties with her.

Yingying did not save her love that was doomed to ashes. She knew that if she was careless, she would lose everything, so she should not have walked away, and she could no longer do it openly, but she did not Showing hatred, he even wrote a letter telling Yuan Zhen to live a good life and not worry about her.

This was a sad awakening. She was willing to admit defeat, marry someone else, and never see Zhang Sheng again for the rest of her life. She watched her love become ruins, buried it, and faded out. But Yuan Zhen still recalled it with great enthusiasm, because the woman did not pester him and walked away quietly. There are some similarities to Zhang Ailing's attitude towards Hu Lancheng.

Whether it is the feudal society of the Tang Dynasty or today in the 21st century AD, cohabitation has always done more harm than good to women. Unless you don’t want the result from the beginning, it is best not to live together without any guarantee. In this case, a modern version of The West Chamber is performed with a man.

Yun Niang

Lin Yutang, who translated "Six Chapters of a Floating Life" into English, said that Yun Niang is the most lovely woman in Chinese literature.

Yun Niang’s surname is Chen, her husband is Shen Fu, and his courtesy name is Sanbai. Yun Niang lost her father when she was young, and she was good at women's affairs. The whole family's livelihood depended on her skillful hands. He was intelligent by nature and taught poetry by himself. He was also able to write sentences such as "Autumn invades the human figure and makes it thin, frost dyes the chrysanthemum and makes it fat." Slender shoulders, long neck, thin but not revealing, slightly flawless teeth, and a more affectionate look? What Shen Fu said was probably Xi Tzu in the eye of the beholder.

Shen Fu was a poor man. He worked as a staff member, and through business, he learned some romantic things, wrote poems, admired paintings, and loved flowers. Feudal society has always been about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. If a couple really loves each other, it is a lucky blind cat catching a dead mouse. Moreover, even if you fall in love at first sight, there will be tragedies like "The Peacock Flies Southeast".

Because Yun Niang disguised herself as a man and traveled with her husband, she lost the favor of her parents-in-law, so much so that the family was separated, which was actually eviction from the house. Fortunately, the couple has a deep relationship, enjoys hardships, and is still harmonious and beautiful. They don't even follow the routine of poor and humble couples suffering from everything.

The more important reason why Yun Niang is praised by others is that she is too generous, and she doesn’t know what evil she possessed. She racked her brains to get Shen Fu a concubine, and she was very demanding. High, beautiful and rhythmic.

When the two people's living standards were just food and clothing, Yun Niang actually took the initiative to consider Shen Fu's other needs. Even though Shen Fu declined, she still looked for them with a smile.

After hearing that the famous prostitute Wen Lengxiang was lengxiang, she took Shen Fu to see her. She thought that Lengxiang was old, and her daughter Hanyuan was just what she wanted, so she gave Hanyuan an jade bracelet. Later Hanyuan gave it to You. When the powerful were taken away, Yun Niang fell seriously ill and eventually died.

The more I listened, the more I felt something was wrong. This was the only royal wife in Chinese history who strongly required her husband to take concubines, and she seemed extremely sincere. Even if she had no money, she would rather lack than spend money. Are you too confident in your relationship with Shen Fu and not afraid of falling out of favor, or is it because you love Shen Fu so much that you want to give him all the best things in the world?

Whether it was Fang Xuanling's wife in the Tang Dynasty who would rather die than let her husband take a concubine, or Zhuo Wenjun who wrote "Baitou Yin"? I heard that Jun had two minds, so he came to make a decision. Translated into spoken language, if you ask for a little wife, we're done.

Comparing these tough-minded first wives with the gentle Yun Niang, how can men not be fascinated by her? But Yun Niang is always a peculiar case. In other words, her love has transcended the narrow shackles of male love and female love, and has reached a noble state where you are good and I am good.

Yun Niang’s sentiments are actually unreal. In the final analysis, love cannot be shared with others. Allow me to make a dark guess. This is similar to a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder. I just want to find someone better than me. Woman, see if you will change your mind? It's just a test.

?

Whether Yun Niang wants to take a concubine for her husband is a gesture, or whether she really has her heart, which is debatable. In short, men should not have too much ambition for women. fantasy.
