When did "multi-mouth" have anything to do with "gossip"?
One said: "Yin and yang give birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to Bagua." Entertainment news and paparazzi advertise in order to attract readers and dig up the privacy of celebrities everywhere, so the news dug up is called "gossip news". On the other hand, it goes back further and can better reflect the spirit of gossip: the origin of the title of "Gossip Magazine" is that in the early years of the Hong Kong Yellow Books and Periodicals, the extremely cool and eye-catching photos on the cover would be affixed with Gossip Pictures in key parts, similar to the mosaic effect, and this kind of magazine that reported the content of the private life of celebrities got its name, so that the word "Gossip" even derived from the noun adjectives and verbs.
"Gossip" is the common sentiment of people, not only modern people like gossip, the ancients also like gossip.
A branch of yanyan dew condensed incense, cloud rain Wushan bent the intestines. Borrowing from the Han Palace who has to be like, poor Fei Yan leans on the new makeup.
As early as the beginning of the new year, the Tang Dynasty enshrined Hanlin Li Bai with superb writing and gossip, and the sentence "Borrowing the Han Palace who is similar, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup" in the "Qingping Tune II" to deceive the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan.
But all beautiful women with plump physiques always like to be said to be thin. Li Bai used Zhao Feiyan to describe Yang Guifei, which naturally made Guifei feel very happy. Li Bai was more cunning, and he understood that a girl like Yang Yuhuan must have read less and might not understand the historical truth, so he used this folding allusion to silence her.
So, what is the posture of Zhao Feiyan in history?
The Book of Han has clouds: "Belonging to the yang family, learning song and dance, and calling feiyan." Emperor Cheng tasted the micro-line. Passing the Yang Lord, making music, seeing Fei Yan and saying it, summoned into the palace, Great Luck. "According to the practice of historians, if the historian specifically mentions that a certain woman is beautiful, it means that the woman is really beautiful, and if it is not mentioned, it can only show that this woman's appearance is average.
The reason why Zhao Feiyan became famous and ranked among the four beauties was not necessarily based on her appearance, but on her light posture and dance posture. If Zhao Feiyan really had a heavenly posture, then why did Emperor Hancheng "have three minutes of heat" and lose his favor for her? In contrast, Zhao Feiyan's sister Zhao Hede was favored for more than ten years, and Emperor Hancheng had to die on Zhao Hede's belly even to death, which showed that Zhao Feiyan's appearance was far inferior to that of his sister.
Therefore, Li Bai's poem is most likely to have a voiceover.
Zhao Feiyan leaned on new makeup, why pitiful?
It is because her appearance may not pass the pass, even if she wears new makeup, she will not be beautiful.
Let's take a look at the situation of Zhao Feiyan in history.
It can be said that she is one of the few bitter women in history, and her fate is quite tragic. Because she is a daughter, the father and mother who favor sons and daughters will discard it casually, if it were not for her hard life "three days of immortality", she would not have been adopted. In the process of growing up, Zhao Feiyan learned music and song and dance in the Yang'a Princess's home, and although she was nominally a palace girl, she was actually a music worker with a worse status, similar to a slave.
The days of being put into the harem by Emperor Hancheng may be one of the few lucky times in Zhao Feiyan's life, but these days did not last long, and when Zhao Feiyan's sister Zhao Hede entered the palace, she was snubbed by the emperor's husband, who had always been abandoned. Fortunately, Zhao Feiyan was a clever woman, and she understood that the conspiracies in the deep palace were endless, and she could not fight with her sister.
If Zhao Feiyan is an unreasonable woman, I am afraid that it will inevitably be separated from Zhao Hede and make a big harem jump. Zhao Feiyan's biggest difficulty was that his stomach was not fighting. In ancient dynasties, if a concubine wanted to get ahead, she relied not on her face but on her stomach. If the stomach is angry and gives birth to a beloved son to the old emperor, in the future, the mother will become the lord of the harem with her son.
Unfortunately, I don't know whether the sick Hancheng Emperor "couldn't do it" or Zhao Feiyan's infernoility, and Zhao Feiyan was never able to give birth to an heir for the emperor.
In the eighth year BC, Liu Xin, the King of Dingtao, arrived in Chang'an, relied on his grandmother Empress Fu to broker a bridge, and became the crown prince by taking this back door. Speaking of which, Emperor Hancheng's concubines also gave birth to heirs for him, but unfortunately these children died before they were born. It is said that the vast majority of them were killed by Zhao Hede.
When the Han Emperor ascended the throne, Si Li Xie Guang also wrote a special letter to impeach Zhao Hede, and in the song chapter, Si Li Xie Guang listed information such as time and place, murderers, modus operandi, witness testimony, and so on, and then demanded that the liquidation of Zhao's foreign relatives be carried out in the name of "Zhao Zhaoyi's rebellion against the Holy Dynasty, personally destroying the heir, and the family members being ambushed by heaven". In fact, when the Han Emperor ascended the throne, Zhao Hede died a long time ago, so the purpose of Si Li XieGuang was not simple.
If the Han Emperor could "borrow another fifty years from heaven" and live a longer period of time, even if he survived the forty-year-old mark, Zhao Feiyan's old age would not be so miserable. The Han Emperor still had gratitude to Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede's sisters, so he would honor Zhao Feiyan as the empress dowager. The life span of this Han Emperor was a bit short, and he had just been emperor for seven years before he passed away.
As soon as the Han Emperor died, rumors spread throughout the government and the public about Zhao Feiyan's adulterous harem, and also put the black cauldron that Zhao Hede killed the prince on her head, in order to "peck at the emperor's grandson" for "Yan pecking at the emperor's grandson".
Back to Li Taibai's sentence "Ask han palace who is like, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup", why does Zhao Feiyan rely on new makeup? Most likely, when the harem people committed suicide, they made up a make-up for the ill-fated empress dowager. Obviously, Li Bai's portrayal of Yang Yulian as Zhao Feiyan is by no means a compliment to his stature, after all, the gap between Huan Feiyan and Thin yan is too large, but a satire on the similar situation between the two.
Although Yang Yuhuan had not read any books, when she heard Li Bai compare herself to Zhao Feiyan, she would definitely make efforts to study the history of Zhao Feiyan. When he learned that Li Bai was mocking himself, Yang Yuhuan's temper would inevitably blow in Li Longji's ear. How dare Tang Xuanzong make this matter public? Therefore, he had to give Li Bai some silver and drive him out of Chang'an.
