There are thousands of kinds of beauty in the world, and in the eyes of modern people, the recognized standard of oriental beauty should meet the aesthetic standards of "three courts and five eyes".
In the distant ancient times, oriental beauties still have open standard references, and this ultimate beauty who has been praised by the ages is no one else, but Zhuang Jiang, the wife of Wei Zhuanggong, the king of the Weiguo Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period.
In the Book of Poetry, she amazed Qianqiu's standard beauty Zhuang Jiang
From ancient times to the present, the beauty of beautiful women can be described as varied and have their own strengths. The famous beauties of the Three Kingdoms period were Zhen Mi and Erqiao, the beauty of the Chu and Han dynasties was Yu Ji, the typical beauty of the Tang Dynasty was None other than Yang Yuhuan, the Western Han Dynasty Wang Zhaojun had a beautiful goose, and the geisha Chen Yuanyuan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties had a good look.
And all kinds of beautiful women always have to have a unified standard, and this standard is the peerless beauty and standard beauty Zhuang Jiang who was written into the "Book of Poetry" in the Spring and Autumn Period and carefully portrayed.
When it comes to the beauty of ancient beauty, if there are no portraits that have been handed down to this day, it is necessary to refer to well-documented written records.
As an orthodox historical classic that has been handed down to the present day, the "Book of Poetry" contains many classic masterpieces depicting women's delicate beauty, and a poem "Guofeng, Weifeng, Shuoren" not only created a precedent for later generations to carefully depict the beauty of beauty, but also wrote the style standard of beauty beauty.
"Hand like a soft silk" is written that the woman's white and tender hand is like a newborn fine sprout, "collar like a cockroach" means that the woman's snow white and clear neck is like a soft white insect larvae, "teeth like a rhinoceros" refers to the woman's teeth are white and aligned, like melon seeds, and "mantis head Emei" means that the woman's forehead is square and the eyebrows are thinly curved.
And such a beautiful woman, the most vivid place is that she "smiles smartly, beautiful eyes and hopes", that is to say, the beautiful woman's eyes are like autumn waves, and her smile shows a feminine attitude.
At the beginning of "Guofeng Weifeng Shuoren", the origin of the first woman in Chinese history to enter the poetry because of her beauty is pointed out: this long beauty is the daughter of the Duke of Qizhuang, the wife of the Duke of Weizhuang, the sister of the Prince of Qi, the sister-in-law of Marquis Xing, and the brother-in-law of Tan Gong, and this standard beauty is the noble and beautiful Zhuang Jiang.
Wrongly marrying Lang Jun, losing his adopted son, and suffering for a lifetime
The poem "Guofeng, Weifeng, Shuoren" not only depicts the beauty of the standard beauty Zhuang Jiang Zhou, but also writes the grand grandeur of the Princess Zhuang Jiang of the State of Qi marrying the Duke of Weizhuang.
It can be imagined that Zhuang Jiang, who was born so noble and extraordinary, was like a heavenly immortal descending into the world, married to the monarch of the Wei country in a grand and unprecedented, romantic and perfect wedding, everything was so impeccable and enviable, everyone seemed to imagine a promising future for Zhuang Jiang: the virtuous wife that the husband cherished, the mother who was gentle and elegant, and the queen of the mother's world.
However, fate does not always seem to be generous to someone, the early Zhuang Jiang has too much worldly beauty, but after getting married, she can only passively accept the flaws and ruthlessness of fate.
Around 753 BC, the beautiful princess Jiang of the State of Qi married the Duke of Weizhuang, the ruler of the State of Wei, and after the marriage, her name was "Zhuang Jiang". On the day of the big wedding, Zhuang Jiang was dressed in a gorgeous and unusual dress, and Shi Shiran came to Weiguo by car and married Wei Zhuanggong in an unprecedented and lively ceremony.
It is reasonable to say that Zhuang Jiang, who has a unique style, won the endless favor of her husband after marriage, even if it is not three thousand pets in one, then at least for a few years after marriage, she will definitely not be disliked by her husband. However, there is no perfect thing in the world, and people see the beginning of a happy royal marriage, but they do not guess the bleak end of loneliness.
Come to think of it, the amazing zhuang jiang and Wei Zhuang Gong must have had a sweet and entangled newlywed life after marriage, after all, the world's heroes love beauty, and Zhuang Jiang, who is noble and beautiful, must have received the fine and honorable love of Wei Zhuang Gong in those years of marriage.
However, the "Three Years of Zuo Chuan Yin Gong" records that although Zhuang Jiang was "virtuous and virtuous", he was "childless for three years". That is to say, thousands of people are looking forward to the beautiful and noble mother Zhuang Jiang to be able to open up branches and leaves for the Wei royal family and give birth to heirs, and Zhuang Jiang has not been married for 3 years, which not only makes the people of Wei Guo feel pity and worry, even Wei Zhuang Gong, the king of Wei Guo, feels that Zhuang Jiang has gradually faded, and has lost his interest and patience in the past.
In the Han Dynasty's classic work of ancient Chinese poetry theory, "Preface to Mao's Poems", it is stated that Zhuang Gong was confused by concubines and made him arrogant, and Zhuang Jiangxian did not answer, and eventually became childless.
This means that Wei Zhuang Originally had a concubine in the palace who was very fond of the king, and this concubine was very good at confusing the king, not only successfully regaining wei Zhuang Gong's attention and favor from the bride Zhuang Jiang, but also giving birth to his son Zhou Wu early after the two became obsessed, and successfully stole the limelight of Zhuang Jiang.
Although Wei Zhuanggong treated herself so thinly, Zhuang Jiang always adhered to the demeanor of everyone, even if Zhuang Jiang did not give birth to the Wei Crown Prince in the end, she always maintained a generous and indifferent temperament and realm.
A few years later, Duke Wei Zhuang asked to marry Chen Guo's beautiful daughter Li Ji, and soon after, he took Li Ji's dowry Dai Concubine as a new concubine. The belly of these 2 side chamber ladies was also quite contentious, and they gave birth to 2 sons to Duke Wei Zhuang successively, Li Ji gave birth to Xiao Bo, and Dai Fei's son was called out.
After a few more years, Duke Wei Zhuang successively took in several new concubines, and new lives were born in the palace for several consecutive years. Wei Zhuanggong's harem grew larger, and there were many more children, in comparison, Zhuang Jiang, who had never been conceived, looked very lonely.
However, because Zhuang Jiang was kind and kind-hearted, the concubine lady Dai Fei and Zhuang Jiang not only got close to each other usually, but also had an unusual relationship with each other, and later, Zhuang Jiang also accepted the adopted son and raised him with Dai Fei. With the support of Zhuang Jiang, he was also established as the Prince of Weiguo, that is, the future new prince of Weiguo.
In 735 BC, Duke Wei zhuang died of illness, and the crown prince successfully ascended the throne as the 13th monarch of the Wei state, that is, the historical Duke of Wei Huan. However, what everyone did not expect was that Zhou Hu, who was also a brother of Duke Wei Huan, was sinister and vicious, arrogant and arrogant, and in the 16th year of Princess Wei Huan's reign, Zhou Huan rebelled against soldiers, first breaking into the palace and killing Duke Wei Huan, and then ascending to the throne of Wei Guo.
Zhuang Jiang originally had a deep friendship with Wei Huan's mother and son, but in the end, Providence was unpredictable, because of a palace coup, the increasingly old Zhuang Jiang lost his adopted son who could have been trusted and relied on, and the evening scene was very desolate.
Zhuang Jiang is beautiful and versatile, and is the first female poet in China
According to the examination of Zhu Xi, a Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty, it is believed that at least 5 to 6 poems in the Book of Poetry were written by Zhuang Jiang, of which the most able to highlight Zhuang Jiang's talent is the "Yan Yan".
Zhuang Jiang had no children and no heirs in his life, and he was secretly disliked by Wei Zhuanggong for this reason, and he did not know whether her soft and soft fingers touched the cold in the deep palace, how many indescribable loneliness her melon-like white and neat teeth had chewed, a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water glimpsed Hua Nian's hasty death, and whether she had also been full of tears.
When there is nothing to do, Zhuang Jiang in order to send the perishable Shaohua, in the lonely deep palace will also send love to the letterhead, as the concubine of the Duke of Qi Zhuang, Zhuang Jiang received a good court poetry education when he was young, and it is natural to write words and sentences, write words and write poems.
In the tortuous days after marriage, although Zhuang Jiang suffered several misfortunes, she wrote many poems that made future generations quite praised.
According to research, Zhuang Jiang's "Bai Zhou" tells the bleak life of her long-term separation from Wei Zhuanggong. Poems such as "Sun and Moon", "Final Wind", "Shao Feng", and "Green Clothes" mainly describe the sad feelings of women who are first cared for by men and then disliked.
Because of the beautiful rhetoric and realistic narrative of these poems, people believe that Zhuang Jiang is the first female poet in Chinese history, which can be described as both talented and unparalleled in the world.
The red face is not old and the grace is broken first, the beautiful women of the world are also in vain, and although zhuang Jiang, the world's most beautiful woman in the Spring and Autumn Period, although she has stunned the years and history, it is still difficult to escape the tragic life of the red face and short life.
The only thing that can be regarded as lucky is that she has left her immortal talent in the Book of Verses, which is still sung by the world for a long time.
