In Chinese values, anything can be shared, including one's own wealth, all one's own beautiful things, but one's own wives and concubines, which is absolutely impossible. This is a matter of dignity, so there is a hatred of wife-snatching, which is not shared. However, the following high official, who liked to hold banquets the most, also took the initiative to give his wife and concubine and sister, which was unique in the world, and finally this scene was painted and now become a national treasure.
This person was Han Xizai, a famous Southern Tang minister during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, who could be said to be proficient in All Kinds of Martial Arts and very good at governing the country, and at that time the Southern Tang Dynasty was a pillar-level figure. But this is not the most commendable place for him, because he is most well known for his belly, which can be described as a very open-minded person. At that time, Han Xi was in a high position of power, so the family had dozens of wives and concubines.
And Han Xizai was very lax in the management of these wives and concubines, and even allowed to go around and go for a walk at night. In an era of severe shackles on women and inferiority of men to women, this is unimaginable. Slowly, some concubines could not bear the loneliness and began to hook up with other men and commit cheating. However, although Han Xizai knows it, he never exposes it, and every time he laughs, he also takes pleasure in it.
Han Xizai's indulgence made the concubines more and more bold, and some concubines even directly brought their lovers into the palace to do the clouds and rain. And once Han Xizai also personally bumped into it, he was originally going to sleep in this concubine's house, but after seeing this scene, he did not bother, but ran to the guest room to sleep, which is strange, and this Han Xizai also likes to hold banquets, often inviting some ministers and noble relatives to come to their own palace to drink and entertain.
During the banquet, they will generally let their concubines and even sisters come out to accompany them, and after three rounds of drinking, the guests will begin to be dishonest, cuddling and hugging, Qingqing me, and even directly entering the guest room... Therefore, the imperial court ministers at that time liked to come to Han Xizai's home as a guest, and it was spread to the world, and everyone knew it. Many people wanted to come to Han Xizai's house as a guest, even the emperor at that time, Li Yu, was also eager, but as an emperor, it was not easy to run to participate in person.
So the emperor sent a court painter Gu Hongzhong to infiltrate Han Xizai's banquet, and asked the painter to use his skills to paint the scene of the banquet. This painter secretly completed the painting, which was later "Han Xizai's Night Feast". This painting is an ancient treasure, and now among China's national treasure-level cultural relics, the "Han Xizai Night Feast" is listed, and this is not a real handiwork, it was copied by the literati of the Song Dynasty. This generous Han Xizai has left a name for thousands of years since then, which makes people admire.
