"Wumeng Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain, the moonlight sprinkled down the ringing water beach, no one can tell me, but the sky is calling to you, a mountain over a river, thousands of mountains and rivers will never be lonely, you come to the old age is legendary, the hundred miles of cuckoo does not wither" Hearing this song is not very familiar, this is a song in the early years of the Phoenix legend, the song is called "Lady Xiangxiang", I believe many people have an impression of this song, in fact, this song is written by a female politician of the Yi ethnic group in the early Ming Dynasty, she not only built roads, but also built stations along the road, He also actively helped Zhu Yuanzhang and consolidated the stability of the frontier lands.
Today, when we talk about the Yi people, we have to mention Lady Xiang, Lady Xiang is a Yi woman, smart and clever since childhood, she is the daughter of the Yi Hengbu Junchang Luxury Clan, when she was 14 years old, she married the Junchang of the Guizhou Yi tribe Mobu Shuixi, Guizhou Xuanwei made Xia Cui as a wife, which also made the basis for her contribution to the Yi people in the later period. While her husband was still alive, she had already shown her intelligence and ability, and was loved and respected by her people, and was revered as "Tho Mu". The good times did not last long, in the fourteenth year of Ming Hongwu, Lady Xiang's husband Cai Cui also died of illness, it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the war was raging, according to the status of the woman at that time, Lady Xiang and her young children should be in a very dangerous situation, but Lady Xiang was different, she not only replaced her young son to inherit the position of her late husband, but also led the clan to build roads, build a post station, and also helped Zhu Yuanzhang attack the King of Liang.
At a time when other forces were secretly colluding to replace Zhu Yuanzhang, Lady Xiang resolutely chose to secretly help Zhu Yuanzhang smuggle grain. Of course, when Zhu Yuanzhang ascended to the highest position, he did not forget the merits of Lady Xiangxiang, Lady Xiang was also very far-sighted, because she was located in a mountainous area and backward in culture, she realized the gap, so she sent her children to Beijing Shitai to study, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the Guozijian to arrange well, during the reign of Lady Xiang, not only spread Han culture, but also had good communication with the central government of the imperial court. Of course, Lady Xiang's ruling career was not smooth sailing, once Ma Ye had killed innocents in the Yi people because she hated Lady Xiang, increased taxes, and publicly insulted Lady Xiang, and publicly stripped her of her blouse and carried out flogging, but this wise woman was not impulsive because of this matter, she rationally reported the matter to the imperial court, and finally Ma Ye also got the punishment she deserved!
Although in the eyes of most of the officials today, Lady Xiangxiang did not do anything earth-shattering and did not make great contributions to the country, but in the context of that time, in the environment of the inferiority of men and women in ancient times, a young widow with a young son did not collapse after the death of her husband, and picked up the burden, and did what many people could not do, which was already very difficult, after the death of Lady Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang specially sent envoys to mourn Lady Xiang. And added Lady Xiang to Lady Shunde of Daming, which is the life of a wise female politician.
