In the 1960s and 1970s, a large ancient tomb near Cuierzhuang Village in Cangxian County, Cangzhou, Hebei Province, was excavated, and since then this area has become a frequent place for tomb robbers.
The local antiquities bureau and archaeologists were distraught and immediately carried out rescue excavations of the place, unfortunately there were not many funerary items, and even some were destroyed.
In the course of subsequent ongoing excavations, experts also found the coffin of the owner of the tomb, but to everyone's surprise, seven corpses sat in the same posture around the coffin.
Who the owner of the tomb was, and who were the bones sitting around the coffin, became a question of confusion surrounding everyone's minds that they wanted to solve as soon as possible.
After excavating the coffin and studying the objects in the tomb, archaeologists finally determined that the owner of the tomb was Ji Xiaolan, who was very popular in the Qing Dynasty and was almost well known.
The owners of the bones around the coffin are all women, and according to the research of archaeologists, these people should all be Ji Xiaolan's concubines.
This makes people very strange, in our impression, Ji Xiaolan is a rich and rich five cars full of economic culture, and in many film and television dramas portrayed Ji Xiaolan is a very dedicated positive image.
Just like the feelings between him and Du Xiaoyue in "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", that is what makes Qianlong envious, so how should these seven women explain?
In fact, film and television dramas are not real history, but entertainment programs based on history processing, so Ji Xiaolan in film and television dramas is not real history.
And the tomb of Ji Xiaolan excavated in Hebei, the seven women sitting in it, also unveiled the true face of Ji Xiaolan, and the original real Ji Xiaolan could really subvert our cognition.
Ji Xiaolan, who is lustful by nature
Under the feudal system, male superiority and female inferiority is the main theme of society, and men's three wives and four concubines are also common, especially in large households, this phenomenon seems to be very common, perhaps this is not lustful.
Therefore, as an official, Ji Xiaolan has three wives and four concubines, which seems to be reasonable, but the real Ji Xiaolan is really lustful, and it is not an ordinary lustful.
Before Ji Xiaolan's tomb was excavated, there were also records of his lust in some historical records, but because these records were not universally recognized by people, they were always named as wild history, which led to little belief at all.
For example, in the "Insect Song Chronicle", Ji Xiaolan's daily life is described like this:
Ji Wenda said that he was a wild monster who turned around and took meat as his meal, and entered without grains of rice. The number of women in the day, the five drums such as once, return to the house once, once at noon, once in the twilight, once in bed, indispensable. In addition, those who are happy and fortunate often have it.
Although this sentence is written in words, I think it is not difficult for everyone to understand, it is said that Ji Xiaolan's daily life at home, five times a day, is indispensable, in addition, the sudden event of temporary excitement is not counted among them.
Some people may say that this is when Ji Xiaolan was young, when he was old, even if he had the heart to estimate it, he could not do it, which is naturally the common sentiment of people, but Ji Xiaolan seems to be an exception.
There is also this passage in the Miscellaneous Records of the Pavilion:
Gong (referring to Ji Xiaolan) is eighty years old this year, and he is still lustful.
This means that when Ji Xiaolan was eighty years old, he was still very, and this move was really incredible.
According to the current way of health, when he is old, he should cultivate his body, Ji Xiaolan is so indulgent, naturally it does not meet the health care, but he also belongs to the longevity crowd in ancient times, no wonder some people always call him "strange man".
Ji Xiaolan, who cannot do without women
Ji Xiaolan is a very literary person, since childhood he got the title of prodigy, the ancients pay attention to learning and excellence, Ji Xiaolan is naturally no exception.
In film and television, Ji Xiaolan is a person who is very valued by Qianlong, but in fact, it is not so at all, and Qianlong does not attach importance to Ji Xiaolan at all, and even has some disgust.
Now in the southwest of Jian Lake in Urumqi People's Park, there is a park built to commemorate Xiaolan.
Of course, there is Ji Xiaolan's memorial park there, not Ji Xiaolan's reputation has spread there, but Ji Xiaolan has really been there, and even lived there for a while.
During the Qing Dynasty, Urumqi was a remote place, and Ji Xiaolan naturally did not go voluntarily, but was degraded by Qianlong, and even Qianlong publicly humiliated Ji Xiaolan:
Therefore, the envoys who received the Four Libraries of Books were really just advocating excellence and indulging in state affairs.
This means that I asked you to compile the Siku Quanshu because you have a bit of culture, but in fact you are just an advocate, and you still dare to talk about state affairs?
Speaking of which, Ji Xiaolan's main achievement was to compile the Siku Quanshu, but during this period there was such a thing.
Once Qianlong went to inspect the progress of Ji Xiaolan's compilation of books, but he found that Ji Xiaolan's expression was weak, his face was not right, and he seemed to be seriously ill.
Qianlong was very worried, thinking that he was tired and sick because of the compilation of the Four Libraries, but when Qianlong was about to release his care, Ji Xiaolan replied that he was because he had "not been close to a woman for several days", and Qianlong was called a qi, but because of Ji Xiaolan's talent, he still arranged two palace girls for him.
What is surprising is that after this, Ji Xiaolan's appearance really became very normal, so that later, when compiling the book, Ji Xiaolan always had a woman by his side.
Ji Xiaolan, who has a large number of wives and concubines
In the official history, there are records of names and surnames, Ji Xiaolan was a total of one wife and three concubines, his wife was Ma Yuefang, and his concubines were Wen Luan, Guo Caifu, and Shen Mingxuan.
But in fact, Ji Xiaolan's wives and concubines should be more than these four, and the most direct and powerful evidence is the seven sitting women in Ji Xiaolan's tomb, these people should all be Ji Xiaolan's concubines or handmaidens, or the kind with very low status.
Otherwise, if their status was high enough, they would inevitably have their own coffins, instead of surrounding Ji Xiaolan's coffins in this posture.
Therefore, scholars speculate that Ji Xiaolan had at least eight wives and concubines during his lifetime, and if you count those who have no name, this number is estimated to double.
Therefore, Ji Xiaolan in real history is not a dedicated man who loves Xiaoyue alone, but a lustful talent.
It is worth saying that Ji Xiaolan's named wives and concubines almost all belong to the type of talent and appearance, but I don't know whether they are happy or sad when they marry Ji Xiaolan.
People are three-dimensional, but also the most difficult to see, sometimes we take it for granted that there will always be a difference of 18,000 miles from the actual truth, Ji Xiaolan is one of the examples, perhaps because we are influenced by the preconceptions of film and television dramas.
But the real history is definitely not a film and television drama, if we take the film and television drama as history, then we must laugh generously, but then again, even the things clearly recorded in the main history are not necessarily true, so we must have the ability to distinguish historical figures and events, and we must not follow the clouds.
