"Three Kingdoms of Regret" No. 6 Text: Pan Regret Past
Together with Wang Zhaojun, Xi Shi and Yang Yuhuan, the mink cicada is known as the four beauties of ancient times, known as "sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and shy flowers". "Sinking fish" refers to Xi Shi Huan Yarn. "Falling Geese" speaks of Zhaojun out of the jam, "Closed Moon" talks about the sable cicada worshiping the moon, and "Shy Flower" says that the noble concubine is drunk. These four women can enjoy the title of the four beauties of ancient times, not only because they are good-looking and beautiful, but also because they have a certain influence in a certain period of Chinese history. It is true that Xi Shi was inseparable from the demise of the State of Wu; the marten cicada alienated Dong Zhuo Lü Bu and caused Dong Zhuo to be expelled; Yang Guifei confused Tang Xuanzong and caused the rebellion of An Shi; Wang Zhaojun married the Xiongnu to promote the long-term peaceful coexistence of Han and Hungary.

The four beauties are in love with the country, but their fate is tragic, their lives are not only free to speak of, but also are just pawns used by the current situation. Except for Wang Zhaojun, whose final ending is relatively clear, the other three are all confused, and there are many versions of the ending that have been passed down, which are very different. Here I will talk about the end of this mink cicada in detail.
There are many versions of the ending of the mink cicada, which can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the death of the incense and the other is the death of the body. There are also four versions of this theory of the death of the incense and jade, from various literary or opera works, the most famous of which is the "Guan Da Wang Yue Yue Night Chopping Mink Zen", which died at the hands of Guan Yu. In short, no matter what, the four versions of the Xiang Que Yu Death Theory are that the mink cicada is dead, or that he killed himself or was killed, is inextricably linked to Guan Yu, and it is difficult to escape the doom. How about these four specific statements, those who are interested may wish to inquire about the relevant information for further understanding, and regret that they will not add more words to this.

Let's talk about the sable cicada's retirement and good death, which also has four kinds of theory. Or become a concubine of Cao Cao, or become a concubine of Guan Yu, or become a nun, or live in a mountain village until old age.
Here I regret the past to talk specifically about the saying that this mink cicada became a nun: In the eighteenth chapter of the "Yanshi Yanshi Of the Four Great Beauties" written by the Master of the Qing Dynasty, it is mentioned that Li Dai and Guo Feng led the troops to besiege Chang'an and besieged it. He claimed to capture Wang Yun, Lü Bu, etc., and avenge Dong Zhuo. Lü Bu led more than a thousand men and horses to fight with it, and due to the huge disparity in strength, Lü Bu finally broke through the siege alone and fled Chang'an, leaving mink cicadas and other family members behind.
Later, the city was destroyed, Wang Yun was killed, and the marten cicada knew that he would not be able to escape the fate, and wanted to raise his sword to kill himself, but he thought of collecting Wang Yun's body to repay the kindness of nurturing that year, so he fled to a temple called Fushou'an to become a nun. The owner of the temple, Myo Jing, has always been in contact with the mink cicada, has also received the favor of the mink cicada, and is a very compassionate person herself.

She saw the mink cicadas coming to cast, and she was a guardian of the mink cicadas. Later, the mink cicada asked Miao Jing to find out about Wang Yun's corpse, and when the time allowed, the mink cicada took Wang Yun's body and buried it. Because Fukuju-an was located in a very quiet place, the mink cicada was never found. Later, Cao Cao learned of the whereabouts of the mink cicada and sent someone to ask for it, but the mink cicada refused to fight to the death. Cao Cao knew of its significance, so he did not embarrass her, and let her spend the rest of her life as a nun in Fushou'an.
The author of the book, Su Castrated Master, finally also commented on several legends of the final fate of other mink cicadas, such as marrying Cao Cao or Guan Yu, being beheaded by Guan Yu under the moon, etc., which he considered nonsense.
Regret the past, read the book, feel that the author of the book is reasonable. The final fate of the cicada is also held in this view. However, there has been no conclusive and favorable evidence for the specific fate. I don't know, how do you see the column position? (Text: Pan Xiexi)
