I remember that Huang Yi once performed a film and television drama based on Huang Mei's play, "Female County Lord", in which she acted smart and clever, very pleasing.
The plot, as the name suggests, is about a woman named Feng Suzhen, who was promised to the son of the Li family when she was a child, but the Li family failed, and Feng Suzhen's father did not agree to this family affair. Feng Suzhen secretly gave Li Gongzi money to let him go to Beijing to take the exam, but unfortunately was discovered by his father, who mistakenly blamed Li Gongzi for stealing the family's money and sent him to the official palace. It is also said that Feng Suzhen married the son of Cheng Xiang.
Later, because Feng Suzhen had feelings for Li Gongzi in her heart, she ran out of the house and disguised herself as a man to enter Beijing to test, planning to tell the emperor about this matter in person. But because her protagonist aura is too strong, she gave herself a test. This exam does not matter, just in time to face the holy appeal, but who made her too good, the princess took a fancy to her, to recruit her as a son-in-law.
On the wedding day, when I arrived at the cave house, I couldn't hide from the princess. Feng Suzhen told the story of the princess, the princess at this time was not as brutal as the princess in the usual drama, the princess listened to her suffering, expressed deep sympathy, led her to see the emperor, and persuaded the emperor, recognized Feng Suzhen as a daughter, and also fulfilled her feelings with Li Gongzi.
People will end up giving this kind of story a happy ending. But there is no such thing in history. But there really was a strange woman in history who dressed as a man. She was born in Southern Qi, but did not do anything to enter Beijing to save Li Lang. It is because she has a hobby that forces her to pretend to be a man and compete with others.
This Woman of Southern Qi was named Lou Shi. According to the "History of the South", Lou knew poetry and etiquette and was good at playing Go. But at that time, in order to improve her chess skills, she looked around for someone to play chess, but there were very few women who were skilled in chess at that time, so she came up with a way for women to dress as men. Dress up as a man and find a man to play chess. This was almost impossible in ancient times.
Lou's talent was quickly spread, and she was later appointed to Yangzhou to discuss Cao's work. But the matter has not been hidden, and one day the identity of the daughter has been discovered. When the emperor found out, he ordered her to remove her post, change her clothes, and return to her hometown.
On the way home, Lou sighed, he had a talent in the air, but he was a daughter, and he couldn't exert his ambitions!
In such a patriarchal society, Lou can have this action, it can be said that the vision is different from that of the worldly people, but the meaning of the existence of women in that era is to take the husband as the sky, and do not care whether you are full of talent and ambition.
In the long course of human history, truth is difficult to be discovered because it is as heavy as gold and always sinks to the bottom of the river; on the contrary, the fallacies that are as light as cow dung float on it and flood everywhere.
