<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > as early as the Qing Dynasty, "Yutang Chun" was quite popular as a Kunqu opera, and later, it evolved into the Kaimeng opera of the Danjiao of the National Essence Peking Opera, which is the traditional Peking Opera repertoire "Yutang Spring" that everyone sees today. </h1>
Four famous dans
The whole play of the Peking Opera repertoire "Yutang Spring" includes almost all the plates that include the Peking Opera Danjiao Xipi singing voice, especially the two folds of "Female Qi Xie" and "Three ChurchEs" are wonderful, especially in the compromise of "Female Qi Xie", there is a singing line: Su San left Hongdong County and will come to the front of the street.
Today, we will explore why Su San left Hongdong County?
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, who wrote "Yutang Spring"? </h1>
First of all, we need to know the origin of "Yutang Spring". "Yutang Spring" is derived from the 24th volume of the "Cautionary Tales" compiled by Feng Menglong, "Yutang Spring Falls into a Difficult Husband".

However, although "Yutang Spring Falls and Difficult To Meet a Husband" is a vernacular novel circulated in the Ming Dynasty of China, it is adapted from "The Record of Li Yaxian", and "The Record of Li Yaxian" is adapted from the legendary "Biography of Li Wa" by Tang Baixingjian in 795 AD.
You can go to see the "Biography of Li Wa" included in the "Taiping Guangji", "Li Wa Biography" can be called the representative work of the legendary prosperity stage in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and many operas in later generations have been adapted from "Li Wa Biography", and "Yutang Chun" is no exception.
It says that during the Ming Zhengde period, Wang Qiong, the head of the Imperial Household, was sent back to his native Nanjing by Liu Jin, and left his third son, Wang Jinglong (Wang Jinlong), in Beijing, while begging for accounts and studying. This Wang Jinglong had finished collecting the account and was ready to return to the south and ran to the back of the brothel. As a result, he met a woman who had lost her foot, Su San, whose flower name was "Yutang Chun".
Su San, formerly known as Zhou Yujie, was a native of Zhoujiazhuang, Datong Province, Shanxi province in the Ming Dynasty. When she was five years old, her parents died, and she was abducted and sold to a brothel and changed her surname to Su, at that time there were already two women in the brothel, she ranked third, so she changed her name to Su San, and "Yutang Chun" was her flower name.
The two fell in love at first sight and lived in the courtyard for more than a year. When Wang Jinglong's thirty thousand taels of silver were spent, the old bustard drove him away. After Wang Jinglong was driven away, he was penniless, and under the pressure of hunger and cold, he had to run to the orphanage to beg.
Speaking of this, I would like to say that how could the son of Rebbe Shoshu fall into the ranks of beggars? As we all know, the status of Shangshu in the Ming Dynasty is very high! The Ming Dynasty abolished the beggar system and adopted the six-ministerial system, which belonged to the highest organ in charge of administrative affairs in the country, and the head of each ministry was called Shangshu, who was an official of the imperial court, often increasing the rank of bachelor, and entering the cabinet to govern. Even if he was sent back to his hometown, his son would not be able to go to the orphanage to be a beggar! The author is also too good for the plot!
Wang Jinglong's work as a beggar was known to Yutang Chun, and she immediately brought two hundred taels of silver, in the name of going to the City God Temple to make a wish, secretly met Wang Jinglong, and let Wang Jinglong return to her side. Wang Jinglong was moved! So he swore to live up to each other' hearts, and folded the mirror in half, waiting for the future to see each other, and then he returned to the south!
At this time, Yutang Chun was favored by Shen Hong, a horse dealer who was doing business, and he spent a lot of money to buy Yutang Chun as a concubine and returned to Shanxi. What's the point! Shen Hong's wife, Pi Shi, and his adulterers poisoned him to death and married him to his concubine Yutang Chun, so Yutang Chun was unjustly imprisoned and sentenced to death.
Three triage sessions
According to the needs of the plot, So Wang Jinglong will try to win, was appointed as the inspector of Shanxi, with his help, Yutang Chun's unjust case can be revealed, and the two are reunited!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > why did Susan go to Hongdong County, Shanxi? </h1>
In the second year of Ming Hongwu, that is, in 1369 AD, Shanxi Xing zhongshu province was established, and the province was governed by Taiyuan Province, which had jurisdiction over Taiyuan Province, Datong Province, Pingyang Province, Liaozhou Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Qinzhou Prefecture, and Zezhou Prefecture, with a total of three prefectures and four prefectures.
And today we are talking about Pingyang Province, in the Yuan Dynasty called Jinning Road, in 1368, renamed Pingyang Province, the fu rule in Linfen County, under the jurisdiction of six prefectures and thirteen directly subordinate counties.
The six prefectures were Puzhou (Linjin, Wanquan, Xinghe, Yishi, Hejin), Xiezhou (Anyi, Pinglu, Xia, Wenxi, Ruicheng), Daizhou (稷山, 垣曲, 绛), Jizhou (Xiangning), Kuizhou (Daning, Yonghe), and Huozhou.
The thirteen counties are Linfen County, Hongdong County, Xiangling County, Fushan County, Zhaocheng County, Taiping County, Yueyang County, Fenxi County, Pu County, Quwo County, Yicheng County, Lingshi County, and Shilou County.
Located in the south of present-day Shanxi Province, at the northern end of the Linfen Basin, Hongdong County, according to the "Shanxi Tongzhi" record: "There is a Hongya Ancient Cave in the northern five miles of the county, and the county is named after the cave. "From the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, Hongdong County has been in Pingyang Province until the early Republic of China, Hongdong belonged to Hedong Province, Daozhi Yuncheng. After the abolition of the road in 1930, Hongdong County was directly under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Province.
Shen Hong brought back the concubine Yutang Chun, that is, his hometown of Ma Mu Village on the west bank of the Fenhe River in Hongdong County, as early as the time of Emperor Xiaojing of Eastern Wei, he was stationed here, because of its beautiful water and grass, it has always been a good place to raise horses, so it was named, Ma Mu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, why did Susan leave Hongdong County? </h1>
At this time, I would like to say that in the approval system of the illustrative generation, the indispensable inspector of the imperial history! The Inspector Ofe is the Imperial History of Cha, which is the official who exercises the power of supervision. Although there are only five officials, when they are ordered to patrol the localities, their authority and responsibility are very heavy!
They can correct the wrongdoings of officials, and they are also responsible for examining the abundance of the years, the treatment of disasters, the sufferings of the people, and the selection of local talents. Through the communication of central and local policies through the patrol of the imperial history, a supervision network throughout the country has been formed.
According to the "History of Ming", during the Hongwu period, there was a patrol according to the imperial history, and until the second day of the first year of Yongle, the imperial history was sent to tour the world, so it was customized. The national inspectorate was assigned according to the imperial history: "Two people directly under the north, three people in the south, one person in Xuanda, one person in Liaodong, one person in Gansu, and one person in each of the thirteen provinces." ”
As a patrol, whenever the imperial history goes, he first investigates the case file, and when he finds that the case is in doubt, he can check it himself. When reviewing a case, the inspector can refer the prisoner and the witness to their own yamen for trial, and this review process is called "trial record", and the process of transferring the prisoner to a different place is "starting and solving".
Su San started to solve
And the Shanxi Inspector Yushi Wang Jinglong in "Yutang Spring", after learning of Su San's grievances, it is very reasonable to escort all the personnel involved in the case of "Shen Hong's murder" from Hongdong County to Taiyuan Prefecture for review.
However, Su San didn't know! So, I sang the above lyrics, and now, you get it!
