In China's long history, there is no shortage of women of all kinds who have left their names in history. Some of them are sunken fish and falling geese, closed moons and shy flowers, they are beautiful women who are unique in the world, some are chivalrous women who do not let their eyebrows be shaved, and some are talented women with unique style and complete talent. Stories about them have always been gripping and nostalgic.
In the Southern Dynasty period of the mainland, there was such a talented woman, with a unique appearance and only learned people, but she only lived for 19 years because of the jealousy of the red face. However, it is this woman who has only hurried through the long river of history, but many literati have loved and remembered for nearly a thousand years. Do you know who she is? What kind of tear-jerking story does her short life have?
Qiantang poetry tricks, get to know the talent
Su Xiaoxiao, a woman from a family of officials and eunuchs during the Southern Dynasty. She was loved by her parents since she was a child, and she should have lived her life carefree. However, there are unexpected storms in the sky, Su Xiaoxiao's father died of illness, and her mother also died of grief and hatred, and at this time, Su Xiaoxiao was still a little girl of several years old.
Su Xiaoxiao, whose parents died twice, could only live with her nursing mother Jia And moved to the Qiantang area. However, Jia's family situation is also difficult to care for Su Xiaoxiao, and in desperation, Su Xiaoxiao can only fall into the wind and dust. As a talented woman who was sought after and remembered by the literati of later generations, Su Xiaoxiao, who was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, received a good education since childhood, and was able to read and hyphenate and recite poems.
Su Xiaoxiao, who has gradually grown up, has come out of the world and is a woman with both talents and looks. Therefore, after Su Xiaoxiao was unfortunate enough to fall into the wind and dust, he became a well-known "poetry trick" with the skill of poetry and song, selling art without selling himself, and being able to sing and answer with literati and inkers without falling behind.
It is in this context that Su Xiaoxiao met the man who influenced her life on a trip - Ruan Yu. Ruan Yu is a talented student, and after the two met by chance, they were deeply attracted to each other. In the communication with Su Xiaoxiao, Ruan Yuse gave the soul and was impressed by Su Xiaoxiao's talent, and also pitied Su Xiaoxiao's unfortunate life.
In this way, Su Xiaoxiao's relationship with Ruan Yu continued to heat up, and finally reached the point of private lifelong determination. It should be said that the talented Ruan Yu and the talented Su Xiaoxiao can indeed be called a talented woman, and a good couple is tiancheng. Two people immersed in love may never have thought that they would have a day of separation.
Sticks beat Mandarin ducks and sponsor students
The two were married under the witness of their nursing mother Jia Shi, and a happy Ruan Yu informed his parents in the form of a letter, hoping that the family would respect and understand their choices. However, Ruan Yu's father was in a high position and looked down on Su Xiaoxiao, who had fallen into the wind and dust, and after learning of this incident, he brazenly decided to beat the Mandarin Duck.
Therefore, Ruan Yu's family wrote back to trick Ruan Yu into saying that his father suddenly fell ill and was bedridden, and Ruan Yu, who was worried about his father's condition, had to leave Su Xiaoxiao to go home to visit. However, after Ruan Yu returned home, he was imprisoned and did not leave the house, and Ruan Yu's father forced him to marry a woman who was the right door.
Seeing that his lover is gone makes Su Xiaoxiao sad, but Su Xiaoxiao still stubbornly believes that Ruan Yu will not abandon himself. The "Qiantang Su Xiaoge", which is included in the "Jade New Yong", is rumored to be the work of Su Xiaoxiao's nostalgia for his lover: "Concubines ride oil wall cars, and Lang rides green horses." Where the knot is concentric, under the Xiling pine cypress. ”
Su Xiaoxiao, who was waiting for Ruan Yu to disappear, did not dare to go to the Ruan family to find someone because of his identity, so he had to wander at night to relax and express his depression. That night, Su Xiaoxiao accidentally found that the back of a scholar resembled Ruan Yu, and couldn't help but shout "Ruan Lang". However, when the student turned back, Su Xiaoxiao found that he had recognized the wrong person.
The two began to talk, and from the exchange, Su Xiaoxiao learned that the other party was a student who wanted to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but he was worried because he did not have enough travel expenses. Su Xiaoxiao, who had a kind heart, immediately decided to give generously, and the students who received Su Xiaoxiao's support were grateful and promised to repay Su Xiaoxiao.
Incense disappeared, and a monument was erected to remember
The student who wanted to go to Beijing to catch the exam was named Bao Ren, and after receiving su Xiaoxiao's sponsorship, he successfully arrived at the beijing exam and won the championship in one fell swoop. And when Bao Ren left Beijing to take up a post in a foreign country, remembering Su Xiaoxiao's kindness, he took a detour to Qiantang to take the opportunity to repay Su Xiaoxiao. However, when Bao Ren revisited Su Xiaoxiao in his hometown, he unexpectedly learned that Su Xiaoxiao had died and died at the age of 19.
It turned out that Su Xiaoxiao waited for Ruan Yu to disappear, so the melancholy became a disease, and finally ended up with hatred. Bao Ren, who heard the bad news, was devastated, and only then did he understand that Su Xiaoxiao was willing to help himself, perhaps hoping that he would not waste time and wait like her. From the mouth of the nursing mother Jia, Bao Ren learned that Su Xiaoxiao's last wish was to bury Xiling and rest in peace where she and her sweetheart met. Therefore, Bao Ren funded the erection of a monument for Su Xiaoxiao's grave and fulfilled Su Xiaoxiao's last wish, which was considered to have fulfilled a little heart.
Perhaps it is because Su Xiaoxiao is too touching to miss the story of the young death of his sweetheart, and after learning about this poignant love story, it is inevitable that Su Xiaoxiao, who is both talented and beautiful, will love and remember. As a result, many literati and inkers in later generations did not hesitate to express their remembrance of Su Xiaoxiao.
After Bai Juyi, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, learned about Su Xiaoxiao's story when he was serving in Hangzhou, he wrote many poems about Su Xiaoxiao with a splash of ink, so that Su Xiaoxiao's name gradually became known to everyone. Since then, poets such as Li He, Liu Yuxi, and Li Shangyin have used poems to express their remembrance of Su Xiaoxiao.
Until more than a thousand years later, the Qing Dynasty poet Yuan Ming also deeply felt sorry for Su Xiaoxiao, personally wrote an article and carved a chapter for her, and even the Qianlong Emperor, who liked to be vassal and elegant, visited Su Xiaoxiao's mausoleum twice on his way to Xiajiangnan to express his compassion for Su Xiaoxiao.
brief summary
As a talented woman with both talents, Su Xiaoxiao could have lived a carefree life. However, the fall of the family road led to su Xiaoxiao's fall into the dust, and the expectant sweetheart was unable to marry him forever because of the obstruction of his family, so that such a miserable fate finally crushed this talented woman, making her only 19 years old and died.
For Bao Ren and later generations of literati who were funded by Su Xiaoxiao, Su Xiaoxiao's infatuation and miserable experiences made people feel deep sympathy and pity. In the pen of later generations of literati, Su Xiaoxiao's image has made people admire and remember for more than a thousand years, which may be a special compensation for her unhappy life.
