Is Zhang Sheng loyal to Cui Yingying?

Why did Zhang Sheng abandon Cui Yingying's capricious feelings?

Looking back briefly on the story of Yingying Biography, Cui's daughter and mother were somehow trapped in the temple and rescued. Because of the matchmaker's matchmaking and Yingying's desire for love, Yingying and Zhang Sheng have achieved good things. When Cui's mother knew that she hated it, she forced fame and married Yingying. Later, Zhang Sheng won the top prize, was valued by the powerful people of the dynasty, and was elected as a son-in-law. In The West Chamber, my brother gave a clear tail, which said that Zhang Sheng and Yingying were very happy together.

Compared with Yingying Biography and The West Chamber, Yingying Biography is more realistic and more in line with human nature, and the happy ending is often just a dream.

Why did Zhang Sheng abandon Cui Yingying?

My personal opinion is that Zhang Sheng has never loved Yingying. Falling in love with her is really different from falling in love with her a long time ago. The matchmaker asked Zhang Sheng why he didn't take the normal route and proposed to Cui Mu. What is Zhang Sheng's explanation? What did he say? A series of procedures take too long. He can't wait and he doesn't want to wait. Really like a girl and don't want to wait? Obviously, an adult understands that all he wants is Cui Yingying's body. Let's talk about the rest.

Later, Zhang Sheng developed. What did Cui Yingying say? ? "Destined stunner is not a demon. If people don't love her, they don't love her In order to excuse her, she even regarded the person she had slept with as a genie. It can be seen that the so-called love is never fake. At least in Zhang's view, the biggest function of youthful spirit is nothing more than to relieve loneliness.

Cui Yingying is of no value to life. What he wants, Cui Yingying can never give. Born in Cui Shi, Boling, his mother was born in Zheng, Xingyang. She is a real lady with five surnames and seven families. If her father were here, Cui Shi alone would bring infinite benefits, not to mention Zheng's blessing. However, Cui Fu is already a former prime minister, and he has withdrawn from the court circle. Besides, he's dead. Cui's mother is a woman. The trouble is that Cui's family has no brothers to rely on. If you want to say powerful, you are very powerful. If you want to say that you have no real power, you really can't help Zhang Sheng.

People are pragmatic. As an old scholar, Zhang Sheng has his own calculations. Compared with the daughter of a dynasty etiquette, Cui Yingying can give too little. Zhang Sheng wants to make a difference in his career. Without his wife's help, this is impossible. If he marries Cui Yingying, what will he get? Except for a false name that attaches great importance to feelings and righteousness, the benefits are very limited, while marrying someone else has a completely different future. Besides, the concept of the Tang Dynasty is open, and women who lose their virginity before marriage can also have a good home. Cui Yingying lost her virginity, but she also got married. There are many people attacking her. Besides, Cui Yingying is soft on the outside and hard on the inside, and such a thing won't be done? No one will die, no scandal will be exposed, and Zhang Sheng will give up this history, so there will be no psychological burden.

There are actually three versions of the story Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying: Yingying Biography in Tang Dynasty, Romance of the West Chamber in Yuan Dynasty, and the historical prototype of this story, namely the experiences of Yuan Zhen and Cui Yingying, great poets in Tang Dynasty.

Let's start with Yingying Biography. It's about a scholar named Zhang Sheng who once came to stay at the Pujiu Temple in Zhou Pu. It happened that a widow Cui passed by with her daughter and stayed in this temple temporarily.

This year, the famous general Hunjian died in Dipu, and his soldiers harassed and robbed Zhou Pu people at the funeral. The Cui family has a lot of property, so it is inevitable that they will be robbed by mutinous soldiers.

I happened to be good friends with a general in Pudong, so he invited some troops to protect Cui's mother and daughter, so Cui's family didn't suffer a military disaster. Later, mother Cui hosted a banquet and introduced her daughter and acquaintance. When Zhang Sheng saw that Cui Yingying was beautiful, he couldn't help falling in love with her at first sight.

Later, I was introduced by the maid matchmaker many times, but the matchmaker asked why she didn't propose to Cui's family openly and honestly through this kind of affection.

On the other hand, Zhang Sheng thinks that the matchmaker's words will take several months, and then he will die of lovesickness. In fact, judging from Zhang Sheng's attitude, their relationship is doomed to be a dew marriage.

Later, under the guidance of the matchmaker, the two had a private relationship for two months and slept together in the west wing many times. However, during this period, Zhang Sheng never mentioned the matchmaker, and Cui Yingying did not summarize Zhang Sheng's marriage to her. After all, Zhang Sheng is a person who wants to take the exam in Beijing, and all the Cui Yingying in Chang 'an can't be given. Cui Yingying knows this, and he won't ask about marriage.

On the eve of Zhang's departure, Zhang just sighed in front of Cui Yingying, but did not say any oath. Cui Yingying said slowly. This relationship is my initiative, and I won't resent it. If you marry me, it will be your favor. It makes sense that you don't marry me. As the saying goes, all's well that ends well. Why do you have so many feelings about this departure? ?

After the speech, Cui Yingying played a song "Colorful Feathers", but he hasn't played it for many years. The sad voice is full of resentment and confusion. He no longer knows what music he is playing. People around him began to cry. Cui Yingying suddenly stopped playing, put down the piano and burst into tears. I hurried back to my mother and never came again. Zhang Sheng set out the next morning.

Later, Zhang Sheng came to Chang 'an and often sent Cui Yingying rouge gouache, and Cui Yingying wrote back.

In the next two years, Zhang Sheng never took the imperial examination again, and his contact with Cui Yingying gradually became calm. Later, Zhang Sheng simply stayed in Chang 'an, married a Chang 'an woman to continue the imperial examination, and Cui Yingying also married someone else.

In this sense, in The Biography of Yingying, the love between Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying, like many of our current loves, is still together, knowing that there will be no result, but finally they broke up on foot, not to mention who abandoned whom. It can only be said that it is destiny takes a hand, and both sides have their own ways to go.

As for The West Chamber, the previous plot was basically the same, except that the plot that Cui's mother strongly opposed was added, and then she went to Beijing to be the top student in high school, and the final outcome was also happy. When Zhang Sheng came back, he married Cui Yingying, a top student in high school, and they all got married. There is no such thing as confusion and abandonment.

Finally, the historical prototype of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying is the story of Yuan Zhen and Cui Yingying, famous poets in Tang Dynasty.

In 799 AD, Yuan Zhen, who had just turned 20, was sent to Zhou Pu (now yongji city, Shaanxi Province) as a junior post by the imperial court. At that time, the garrison was chaotic and Zhou Pu was in turmoil. Yuan Zhen used the help of friends to protect her distant relative Cui Shi and her daughter in danger.

After putting down the rebellion, Yuan Zhen fell in love with Cui Yingying, a Cui girl. Although Cui Yingying is talented and handsome, he is rich, but after all, he has no power, which is far from Yuan Zhen's ideal marriage. According to the system of promoting scholar in Tang dynasty, both scholar and official need to pass the official examination before they can formally appoint an official position, so Yuan Zhen took the examination in Beijing the next year.

Since entering Beijing to take the exam, Yuan Zhen, with his outstanding literary talent, has won the appreciation of Zhao Yin Wei in New Beijing and made friends with the children of Wei Men, thus learning that Wei Cong, Wei's daughter, was not betrothed to others and realizing that this is an excellent opportunity to climb the mountain by walking the door.

In 803 AD, Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi entered the secretary province as school bookkeepers. Yuan Zhen, who is eager to be an official, thinks that although Cui Yingying has both talent and charm, it doesn't help his career. At this time, Wei expressed appreciation for Yuan Zhen's talent and was willing to betroth his daughter to him.

After weighing the gains and losses, Yuan Zhen finally chose to abandon Yingying and marry Wei Cong. After all, for Yuan Zhen, this is a rare opportunity to climb up. However, although Yuan Zhen and Wei Cong are standard political marriages, they have a very good relationship after marriage. After Wei Cong's death, Yuan Zhen also wrote? Once the sea was difficult for water, amber forever? Mourn the death of his wife.

Cui Yingying, the first lover, may be condemned by his conscience, or he may be deeply impressed by his first lover. So many years later, Yuan Zhen took his first love as the prototype and created the legendary novel Yingying Biography, which is the predecessor of The West Chamber. In this sense, the realistic version of Zhang Sheng abandoned Cui Yingying, in the final analysis, for his own fame and fortune.
