Chrysanthemum and Knife (I)

Among the female writers of Chinese dynasties, Li Qingzhao is the most outstanding one. Whether it is a personal talent or a practical achievement, she is unparalleled. There is also her unparalleled free personality: she does not wrong herself, she is not tolerant, she is not obscure for the text, and writing is to express herself and express her feelings. Her writing began very early, at about the age of thirteen or fourteen, from the beginning of the girl's love sinus to the young woman's boudoir to the widow's mourning, she wrote it frankly, such a woman, in such a cultural tradition in China, is also rare to see.

It should be noted that talented women must not only have talent, but also have a good education. Talented women in ancient China all had a family that could provide them with an education, such as Ban Zhao of Han, Zuo Di of Jin, Bao Linghui of Liu Song, and so on. Ban Zhao is Ban Gu's younger sister, Zuo Di is Zuo Si's younger sister, Bao Linghui is Bao Zhao's younger sister, and Du Li Qingzhao does not have such a brilliant brother, but she has something better: she has a scholarly father, a literate mother, and more importantly, a good husband. Her husband, Zhao Mingcheng, was a student and epigrapher who wrote the Golden Stone Record. A few years after Zhao's death, Li Qingzhao wrote the "Preface to the Golden Stone Record", which talked about the couple fighting tea, deep affection, full of nostalgic sentimentality:

Each book obtained, that is, a joint collation, the entire episode of the inscription. ...... Yu sex even strong memory, every meal, sitting back to the hall, cooking tea, refers to the accumulation of book history, say something in a book a few pages of a few lines, in order to win or lose, for tea drinking. In the middle, he raised a glass of laughter, until the tea was poured into his arms, but he could not drink it. Willing to be a countryman. Therefore, although he is in a state of distress and poverty, he cannot afford to aspire.

I believe that Li Qingzhao's learning is not as good as her husband's, but she lost to Zhao Mingcheng before she was "sexually strong". If we talk about artistic talent, Li Qingzhao is of course above Zhao Mingcheng: Zhao Mingcheng has also secretly competed, but he has lost, and he has lost a complete defeat, and his heart is satisfied and convinced——

Yi An used the words "Chongyang Drunken Flower Yin" to be clear and sincere. Mingcheng sighed, ashamed of himself, and wanted to win. All the guests, those who forget to eat and sleep for three days and nights, get fifty days and nights, and miscellaneous and easy to do, to show their friend Lu Defu. Dev played it again and again, saying, "Only three sentences are excellent." Ming Chengjie said, "Mo Dao does not extinguish the soul, the curtain rolls in the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." "Zheng Yi An Zuo also. (Yi Shizhen's "The Tale of Lang Huan")

The "Drunken Flower Yin Chongyang" mentioned here, also known as "Drunken Flower Yin Nine Days", the original words are as follows:

Mist thick clouds worry eternal day, Rui brain dispels the golden beast. Festive and heavy sun, jade pillow yarn kitchen, cool in the middle of the night.

After the east hedge put the wine at dusk, there is a dark fragrance full of sleeves. Mo Dao does not extinguish the soul, the curtain rolls in the west wind, and the person is thinner than the yellow flower.

Zhao Mingcheng was outside, Li Qingzhao was alone in the empty room, but he made this word to send Zhao Mingcheng, from the content point of view, it is the old theme of resentment, in nature, it is a letter sent by the wife to her husband, and its reader should have been only one person, that is, Zhao Mingcheng, not us, the vast number of readers.

Shang Yan wrote about her- the boredom and moodlessness of a young woman of an aristocratic family who stayed alone in an empty room: worried about the long day, watching the spices slowly turn to ashes; worried about the long night, holding a jade pillow, staying alone in the kitchen (cupboard), cold and cold, but the sky is not bright - looking forward to darkness during the day, looking forward to the dawn at night, in fact, it is looking forward to your return! When we read such words, we have the trepidation and joy of peeking at other people's love letters.

Xia Yan is more explicit, writing its own image: dark incense sleeves, this incense is a flower fragrance, but also the body fragrance of young women; people are more than yellow flowers, petals are long hanging, the human body is slender, and the flowers and people drink the autumn wind and lose their souls. In short, it is to write about one's own beauty and affection, but to be bitter about the thoughts, and to beg for pity on the beloved. How could Zhao Mingcheng not suddenly feel pity for Xiang Xiang and cherish the jade because of this?

As far as art is concerned, this song as a whole pursues a emaciated effect. There is a causal relationship between sadness and thinness. Delicate and sentimental women, chrysanthemums with long petals, all give people a sense of thin beauty.

Wang Minyun's "Xiangqilou Selected Words Pre-Compilation" said of this word: "If this language is not a self-portrait of a woman, it is unintentional. In fact, one of the great values and significance of Li Qingzhao's words lies in "women's self-portraits". Even some of her imitation works are women's hearts, and she herself is a woman with a very sensitive disposition and a very rich heart, which is more intimate, real and unpretentious than those "men making boudoir".
