Short story, long life
By the West Lake in Hangzhou, in the courtyard of Lonely Qing, Li Qingzhao rushed a pot of tea, still with a hand-pleasing tea distribution technique.
Xiao Sun, a 10-year-old girl in the neighborhood, came to visit the door again, and Li Qing took care of her quite spirited and wanted to take her as an apprentice.
At that time, this female lyricist was more than sixty years old, and her literary talent had long been famous.
The little girl shook her head: "Caizao is not a woman's business." ”
Li Qingzhao couldn't help but sigh, the talent she was proud of was just another kind in the eyes of the world.
What she didn't know was that after a thousand years of the disappearance of many high-ranking officials and magnates, she would be famous for this good word, and modern people even composed the song "Know It or Not, Know It or Not" for her again.
But in this cold winter, only the little girl, looking at her lonely expression, smiled: "Yi Anjushi, can I listen to your story?" That must be interesting. ”
One old and one young, with a pot of flower tea, told a long story, a short life.
01
Quick thinking, famous Jinghua
Li Qingzhao was born into a family of eunuchs, his father was an enlightened person, and he was a 36-year-old daughter who was extremely fond of her. She has neither the pressure to go to school, nor the person who takes three from four virtues to pressure her, just do what she likes.
She had been reading poetry since she was a child, and her proud father often hid her poems from the author and showed them to friends for appreciation, who said that those works had the style of Ouyang Yongshu and Su Zizhan.
She studied under the famous Chao Shuzhi, and she also praised her talent when people praised her, so her poetry has moved the capital since she was a child.
02
Willow eyes plum cheeks, has felt the spring heartbeat
Zhao Mingcheng first entered the Taixue School, listened to the same window about Li Qingzhao, was amazing, and had the idea of "marrying a wife and marrying Li Qingzhao", but it was not easy to talk to the family.
A straight man, he actually took out the dream of "the husband of a word woman" and said to his father. This female lyricist is Li Qingzhao. At that time, her father Li Gefei was a member of the Ceremonial Department, and his father Zhao Tingzhi was a servant of the Ministry of Rites. The door was right, and the affair was quickly settled.
03
Married as a husband and wife, there is no doubt about love
Zhao Mingcheng married Li Qingzhao, who was 3 years younger than him, as he wished. The two people who are talented and like-minded can be said to have Fleur and Ti, Qinser and Naruhi.
He is still too student, song Dynasty taixue did not have winter and summer vacations and weekend vacations, in order to accompany his wife, Zhao Mingcheng every month on the first day and fifteen, on the grounds of stomach upset, feeling the wind (stomach pain, cold) as the excuse to take leave, sneaked out, the two families went shopping together to the Xiangguo Temple.
The big xiangguo merchants gathered, the department stores were old and miscellaneous, and it was very lively. Five times a month (the first day of the first year, the third day of the first year, the eighth day of the first year, the fifteenth, the sixteenth), the time is up to catch up, famous calligraphy and paintings, ancient strange utensils, buy and buy, after the return, play and appreciate together, a short reunion, but there is a lot of joy.
In Chongyang that year, Li Qingzhao sent Zhao Mingcheng in the distance "Drunken Flower Yin" to express his bitterness:
"After the east hedge put the wine at dusk, there is a dark fragrance full of sleeves. Mo Dao does not extinguish the soul, the curtain rolls in the west wind, and the person is thinner than the yellow flower. ”
After Zhao Mingcheng received the letter, he was very moved, and under the careful tasting, he was impressed by his talent. So he closed the door to thank guests, three days and three nights, wrote out 50 que words, put Li Qingzhao's words together, and gave them to friends to taste.
Friend Lu Defu said after reading it, only three sentences are excellent, officially written by Qingzhao: Mo Dao does not extinguish the soul, the curtain rolls in the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers.
Zhao Mingcheng sighed to himself, and he loved and respected Li Qingzhao even more.
04
Talented and untamed
Li Qingzhao, who grew up rich, is lively and bright. When she was newly married, she was delicate and cute, and Zhao Mingcheng was teased by her continuously, but he enjoyed it. Li Qingzhao once wrote two poems, "Minus Magnolia" and "Ugly Slave", reflecting the joy of the boudoir.
Among them, "The Ugly Slave" wrote:
"A gust of wind and rain came late, washing away the heat... The snow is crispy. Laughing Tan Lang: Tonight the kitchen pillow is cold. ”
The scholar Wang Zhuo scolded in "Biji Manzhi": "Make long and short sentences, you can twist and turn to the fullest, and your posture is varied." Lu Alley's absurd words, wantonly dropped the pen. Since the ancient gentry house can be literate women, have not seen such a lack of care also. ”
Informal, unscrupulous, bold and unbridled. Fortunately, Zhao Mingcheng carried his spoiled wife to the end, letting her continue to maintain the posture of being a girl, drinking when she wanted to drink, even if she was drunk.
"Last night's rain was stormy, and the heavy sleep did not consume the wine", that is to say, Qingzhao got up the next day with a hangover, and the wine could not wake up.
Hi tea ceremony, divided tea into a generation of masters, famous for a while.
He was revered as the god of gambling, and even wrote a related book.
Love the golden stone, the collection is so much that everyone is envious.
In ancient times, there were very few women, female lyricists, and female lyricists who could be so uninhibited in ancient times.
05
Lang loves concubines, luan and phoenix are harmonious
When Li Qingzhao was 24 years old, his father-in-law Zhao Tingzhi was demoted and died five days later. The young couple returned to Qingzhou, the hometown of the Zhao family. 12 years, even the most embarrassing time, still remember with the warmth of love and the breeze of hometown.
And the courtyard that stained their shadows was named the Return Party. Li Qingzhao called himself Yi Anjushi. Take Tao Yuanming's poem "Return to Xi Ci": Leaning on the south window to be proud, judging the ease of the knee.
He spent the best time of his life in poetry and painting together. They "bet on books and pour tea", after each meal, they cook tea together, one person asks where a certain allusion comes from, and the answer is given priority in drinking tea.
Li Qingzhao often won, too happy, spilled the tea all over his body, and the tea was overflowing. Perhaps, Zhao Mingcheng is to make her win the happiness.
The past of gambling books and pouring tea is still cited as an allusion in the Qing Dynasty thousands of years later, "gambling books are dissipated and poured with tea, and at that time, only the Tao was common."
Even the ancient novelist Feng Menglong was so envious that he wrote this story into the book and arranged it for Su Shi and his friends.
In the year when Li Qingzhao was established, Mingcheng wrote an inscription on her portrait: Qingli Qi's words, dignified and dignified, returning to Xi, true investigation and concealment.
The words are deep and the words are endless.
06
Miserable and miserable, Wen Jun has two meanings
The Song Dynasty was a bustling international city, full of materialism and drunken fans.
Except for his time in Qingzhou, Zhao Mingcheng was mostly in Shizhong. The social atmosphere of the Song Dynasty was open, and it was common for scholars to enter and leave the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, raising a few prostitutes was an identity, and taking a few concubines was a good story.
Those literati and inkers we are familiar with, such as Yuan Shu and Bai Juyi, have a group of wives and concubines.
The beauty is moving, even the emperor can not be exempt from vulgarity, often in and out of the boudoir of the prostitute Li Shishi.
After Zhao Mingcheng was reinstated as an official, he went to various places and did not take Li Qingzhao with him, until the change of Jing Kang, and for 6 years, Li Qingzhao lived alone in Qingzhou.
She is more than 40 years old, and she has begun to worry about the decline of sex, coupled with various rumors, in addition to one poet's letter after another, expressing the love of love, she has changed her unrestrained personality.
"How many things, want to say hugh, new to thin, not dry sick wine, not sad autumn."
She walked away as a Wuling person, leaving a lonely courtyard empty, telling her that he was gone because of peach blossoms in her heart.
Unaware of the misery of her husband's return date, she transformed into "Little Heavy Mountain", using the metaphor of the abandoned Ajiao who lived in Nagato; she issued a sigh of "holding the fan" and worried about the delicacy and charm of the flying swallows.
The bitterness and bitterness in it are self-evident.
07
The most important thing is that the human world cannot be retained
And until the time of Zhao Mingcheng's death, Li Qingzhao also sighed, in his heart, after all, most of it was left for his wife Qingzhao.
In the 29 years of marriage, Li Qingzhao did not have children, but he did not say a word, let alone have children with other women.
It's just that this love, under the atmosphere of the time, can't be fully invested in a person after all.
It is also because although Li Qingzhao is a poet of thousands of years, Zhao Mingcheng may not be willing to really add incense and ink to cover up her radiance.
And she also complained that Zhao Mingcheng could not heroically defend the country, could not inhabit her geese and birds, from the beginning to the end.
In the middle of love are two fierce souls. Death marks the unhappy end of marriage.
Then there were years of military turmoil and man-made disasters, the family country was shaky, the husband and father were killed, and the Northern Song Dynasty moved south.
"Once sick and not acquainted, who is Sanchun Xingle on?"
Many years after her husband's death, she has been in exile for a long time, but she has been tricked into marriage by villains, and her collection has been stolen by neighbors. Not weak in character, she sued the remarried liar, successfully preserved the remaining property, but was also sentenced to prison. Fortunately, the husband's people helped and survived the prison.
The second marriage began with a lie and ended in prison.
From the annals of history, I saw her tossing and turning half her life, desolate in one place, and her father dead and her husband dead.
Seeing that she is old and sick, poor and difficult to do.
After all, there was only one sentence, "At that time, only the Tao was common."
