In ancient China, there was absolutely no shortage of talented women. Yu Xuanji, Xue Tao, Li Ye, and Liu Caichun of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen of the Song Dynasty were all able to get their hands on it.
In general, ancient talented women can be roughly divided into the following categories:
The first category is everyone's bridesmaids, this kind of talented women generally accept good poetry from a young age, and the level of works in the dispatch of words is extremely high, such as Li Qingzhao, who is praised by many people as "the first talented woman in the ages";
The second category is some poor talented women who rely on self-education, such as the Qing Dynasty, there are several, although their social status is not high, but the things they write are very grounded, such as the Qing Dynasty talented woman He Shuangqing;
The third category is the most special category, that is, the wind and dust women. This kind of talented woman has more emotional experience, and her feelings about folk cold and warmth are also relatively deep, and the words written are very touching. They often have the opportunity for talented people to exchange poetry together, and they often have good achievements in literature, such as the famous Liu Ruyi.
In this issue, the author wants to tell you that this Talented Woman of the Ming Dynasty belongs to this category 3, and her name is Lin Nu'er.
Because of the sudden change in his family, Lin Nu'er had to fall into the wind and dust in Nanjing. Because he was beautiful and proficient in poetry and painting, he was quite famous at that time. Over time, more and more talents came to see each other, just for a long time.
However, Lin Nu'er had no intention of socializing with these talents in her heart, and after her situation was slightly better, she was freed from the wind and dust. Since then, she has been following her master to learn to paint in the Jiangnan area, and she has made great achievements.
However, what she did not expect was that although she was conscientious, she would always meet some deceased people. These people had seen Lin Nu'er in the dusty place in their early years, and when they met again, they always wanted to "touch" people from time to time. One day, another deceased person came to pester, lin Nu'er was naturally unwilling in his heart, but after all, he was a female streamer, and he did not dare to refuse too directly.
Therefore, she thought of a clever trick, borrowing the poem and painting with the other party, and wrote a wonderful poem called "New Willow Diagram" on her fan to express her thoughts. As a result, when the other party saw it, he not only immediately understood her cleanliness and self-improvement, but also praised her talent one after another, and from then on he respected her very much. What exactly is written in Lin Nu'er's poems? Let's take a look:
In the past, Zhangtai danced with a thin waist, and allowed the king to climb and fold the young branches. Now written into Danqingli, the east wind is not allowed to waver again.
I have to say that this 28-word poem is indeed too clever:
First, because the fan itself is painted with a willow tree, Lin Nu'er uses the willow as a metaphor, which seems to write willow sentence by sentence, but in fact, sentence by sentence is writing himself;
Second, when rejecting the other party, it does not demean others, but compares the other party to the "East", clearly and decisively, but it is easy for people to accept, which can be described as rejecting without leaks, and it is really emotional intelligence.
Judging from the words used in the whole poem, it is also very level.
The first two sentences are written about the situation in the past, the word "Zhangtai" generally refers to the place of wind and dust, and the word "dancing waist" refers to its own state at that time. The last two sentences refer to their current state. The willow tree is no longer the Zhangtai willow it once was, it has been painted in the painting. In this case, no matter what kind of wind is encountered, the willow tree will no longer waver.
When we carefully read this poem, we will find that Lin Nu'er is indeed a talented woman who has both emotional intelligence and poetry. As a result, this incident of rejecting people with poetry also became a legendary story at that time, and this poem has also been passed down to this day. Later, in the novel "Tang Xieyuan a Laughing Marriage", Feng Menglong also deliberately used Lin Nu'er as the prototype to create the character image of Qiu Xiang. Do you like this poem? Discussion is welcome.
