I still remember the Han Wudi played by Teacher Chen Baoguo. Above the solemn court, he said with a loud voice:
"From now on, it is easy to attack and defend, and I can also go."
In the TV series, the actor's voice just fell, and the majestic BGM rose up in response. The audience watched the blood boiling, and the image of a generation of male lords was more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Not only do people worship Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, but the ancients also have no shortage of praise.
Ban Gu, who wrote the Book of Han, once said: "If Emperor Wu's great talent is rough, he does not change the text, and Jing Zhi is respectful and frugal to the People of Zi Si, although the poetry book says, how can there be a jiayan!" ”
This means that emperor Wu of Han was so brilliant and ambitious that he did not change the policy of saving the people by being courteous and frugal in Wen and Jingshi, even if the system praised in the poems and books could surpass it.
Frankly speaking, Bangu's evaluation is slightly exaggerated. To say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a man of great talent, there is naturally no problem, but if you praise him as "courteous and frugal to the people of Zisi", it seems a bit exaggerated.
In addition to compiling the main history, it is said that Ban Gu also wrote a mythological novel with Emperor Wu of Han as the protagonist. In the novel, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty is no longer like a tiger, on the contrary, there are still some promises.
1, Song of the Autumn Wind
In the world's impression, Emperor Wu of Han was an "iron-fisted king", and as everyone knows, he also has a tender and watery side.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a high literary attainment, and at that time, the literati were popular in writing, and his writing skills were also second to none. The Ming Dynasty literati have said that Emperor Wu's writing level was "under Changqing (i.e., Sima Xiangru) and on Ziyun (i.e., Yang Xiong)."
Modern scholars have verified that around the autumn of the fourth year of Yuan Ding, Emperor Wu of Han, who was more than 40 years old at the time, inspected Hedong and boated on the Fenhe River, and he was in a rather comfortable mood, and on the occasion of drinking and feasting with his courtiers, he gave the poem "Autumn Wind Words":
The autumn wind rises and the white clouds fly, and the grass and trees fall yellow and the geese return to the south.
Lan Youxiu Has a Chrysanthemum, and Huai Jia Ren Xi cannot forget.
Pan-building boats Xi Jifen River, horizontal and middle stream Xi Yang Subo.
The drums are singing and singing, and there are many joys and sorrows.
When is it time to be young and strong, it is not easy to be old!
Reading the first sentence of "Autumn Wind Words" always reminds people of the "Song of the Great Wind" by Liu Bang, the great-grandfather of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "the wind rises and the clouds fly".
However, unlike the vast expanse of Liu Bang's poetry, Liu Che's rhetoric is more fresh and bright, and in the "Autumn Wind Words", he is no longer an emperor who looks at the world and shows a side with a pulse.
Autumn is the season of longing. Qiulan Hanfang, Qiu Ju Douqi, such a beautiful scenery, indeed aroused the poet, the endless nostalgia for the beauty.
When looking down on heaven and earth, Emperor Wudi of Han also did not have the momentum of the king's landing in the world, and in the last few poems, a generation of male lords actually expressed a little bit of mourning. "There is a lot of joy and sorrow, and when it is less strong, it is old and old!" When joy comes to an end, there will be more sorrow. Human life is gradually aging, what can I do?!
In the history of lexical literature, this improvisational work of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty is quite famous, almost on a par with the "Song of the Great Wind".

2, fairy pro fan
I don't know for sure whether the tortuous and lingering lyrical approach of Autumn Wind Ci inspired later writers. But there are indeed many zhiwei stories that have been handed down, and the protagonist is Emperor Wu of Han himself, describing his pursuit of immortality and the story of his association with the beautiful fairy.
The representative work of this type of novel, the "Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", has always been controversial among scholars about its author, and there is a theory that it was written by Ban Gu, the author of the "Book of Han" of the Zhengshi.
There are three main characters in the Inner Biography: Emperor Wu of Han, the Queen Mother of the West, and Lady Shangyuan. The two ladies are immortals, the only male protagonist Emperor Wudi of Han is no longer a heroic emperor, in front of the two "immortal sisters", he calls himself a "subordinate", acting very humble and condescending, there is no more, "Kou can go, I can also go" the grand momentum.
The Queen Mother of the West is the goddess ranked No.1 in the Divine Realm, and her status cannot be underestimated. In the "Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", she is a beautiful and honorable goddess, "thirty years old, short in repair, the heavenly posture is hidden, and the appearance is unique."
▲ "Lady Shangyuan" Mei Lanfang as Lady Shangyuan
More worth mentioning is Lady Shangyuan. The Inner Biography of Emperor Wu describes its appearance as follows:
"Twenty years old (i.e., in his twenties), his heavenly posture is exquisite, his eyes are brilliant, he wears a robe of green frost, the clouds are chaotic, he is not brocade or embroidery, and he cannot be named." The head is made of a triangular bun, the rest of the hair is scattered to the waist, wearing the crown of the nine clouds of luminous light, dragging the six fire jade pendants, the weeping phoenix Wen Lin Hua's silk, the waist flowing yellow swinging sword. ”
A girl in her twenties, dressed heroically, faced the most powerful king in the world, not only called him by his first name, but even reprimanded him condescendingly. Lady Shangyuan accused Emperor Wu of Han of "fetal violence, fetal sexual immorality, fetal luxury, fetal coolness, and fetal thief", these five sexes are the great obstacles to becoming immortals, and the five sexes must be broken to become immortals.
After madame reprimanded, it was described in the Inner Biography as liu che, "the emperor knelt down and thanked him."
What is the status of Lady Shangyuan in the Divine Realm? It actually made Emperor Wu of Han sincerely afraid. Two details are recorded in the Inner Chronicle:
First, Emperor Wu of Han specifically asked the Queen Mother of the West, what is the level of Shangyuan Zhenren? The Queen Mother replied, "It is the official of the Three Heavenly Yuans, who also commands 100,000 jade female maidens."
Second, the Queen Mother of the West had considerable respect for Lady Shangyuan. The Queen Mother of the West had a question to ask the other party, and specially sent a maid. So-called, coming and going without being rude, Lady Shangyuan also specially asked the maid to reply.
The status of the lady among the fairies may be second only to that of the Queen Mother of the West. When she asked the maid to reply to the Queen Mother of the West, she said the following words: "Ah Huan goodbye, ask about living." This is a polite remark, Lady Shangyuan is greeting the Queen Mother of the West, and her health is safe recently.
However, Mrs. Shangyuan's name is really too "girly", and it is actually called "Ah Huan". Cute like the girl next door.
3, beautiful fairy
China has a history of thousands of years, and the legend of the little fairy is also changing with the times. The amorous and lovely Ah Huan actually began to descend on the human world, induce the ordinary, and finally formed a love affair.
This prominent change is reflected in the poetry written by the Tang Dynasty.
For example, Wang Bo of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", in his "Qixi Fu", has the following sentences:
Shangyuan Jinshu chuanbao characters, queen mother Qiong box recommended gold covenant.
The head of the colorful catfish is sewn, and the fragrant swallowtail is tied with one heart.
Through this poem, we can learn that the cold goddess who originally refused to be thousands of miles away gradually completed the transformation from "immortal teacher" to "amorous fairy sister".
The great poet Li Bai used a clever brush of raw flowers to make a more concrete depiction of the shape and clothing of Madame Shangyuan.
Who's lady on the yuan? Partial to the Queen Mother.
Saga triangle bun, rest of the hair hanging down the waist.
Qiu was dressed in green hair brocade and wore a red frost robe.
Hand-held daughter, idle with the phoenix blowing pipe.
The eyebrows smiled to themselves, and suddenly drifted with the wind.
- Li Bai, "Lady Shangyuan"
Judging from the descriptions of "triangle bun", "green hair brocade", and "red frost robe", Li Bai is almost a "plagiarism tribute" to the original sentence of the "Internal Biography of Emperor Wu of Han". The last four sentences are the poet's innovations, which give Mrs. Shangyuan an amorous character.
On the side of Lady Shangyuan, there appeared the beautiful woman Lang Yu and the young Xiao Shi, according to legend, the latter two QinSer and Ming, "Phoenix Stage Memories Blowing Flute", became the envy of the world's gods and immortals.
The playful Ah Huan, with them, also came and went without a trace, as the poem said, "eyebrows laugh at themselves, suddenly drifting with the wind", eyebrows frequently flirt, suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Where has Ah Huan gone, and where is her home? The Song Dynasty poet also wrote:
Ah Huan's family lived in Langfengding, and the Daique Yaotai were connected. Feng Feng was missing by the Luan people, and the neon clothes were hidden. Show bones and chastity, long eyebrows are shallow, reflecting white-throated red cheeks. In the depths of non-smoke, there are thousands of clouds.
The girl's mind, you don't guess; the girl's residence, you don't have to ask, ask and ask, you can't go.
4, amorous girl
Since you can't go, why don't you turn into an amorous girl and come to the world to experience a sweet love.
Time comes to the end of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang legend contains a story called "Fengzhi", in which the heroine is the honorable Lady Shangyuan.
Feng Zhi is a personal name, he lives in Shaomu Mountain, this person is also a big handsome man, the original text of the legend is, "beautiful appearance, quite virtuous".
At midnight, Feng Zhi was studying hard, and suddenly a girl's voice came from outside the house, and when the girl entered the house and saw Feng Zhi, she first made a stroke, and then reported to the door of the house: "I was originally a heavenly immortal, and I was degraded to the netherworld." ”
Afterwards, she boasted of the high quality of Feng Zhi, and then said: "I would like to hold a broom, but I don't know what Lang Junya's will is?" (I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life, I don't know what Lang Jun's dignity is)
Feng Zhi of course objected, and the girl was not in a hurry, gave him a poem, and promised to come back in seven days.
Who lives in Pengdao Beiyao Pond, spring fireworks have some thoughts.
In order to love the king's heart can be white, may the broom be used to serve the screen.
——Lady Shangyuan's "Gift of Fengzhi"
Seven days later, the fairy did indeed arrive on time for the appointment, and the seal of the elm knot once again refused. The girl had no choice but to give another poem and promised that she would come back seven days later.
Lang Yu has a husband and wife, and Liu Gang and The Room are all ascending immortals.
Jun can carefully peek at the morning dew, and must follow the clouds to worship the cave sky.
——Mrs. Shangyuan,"Re-Gift"
For the hint of the fairy, Feng Zhi turned a deaf ear and even said bluntly: "The little lady returns to the car, this puppeteer, insufficient and language." (Little lady go back, I'm a wooden man)
In the face of Lang Jun's iron heart, the fairy sighed longly and shortly: "At this time, if you lose it, you must live for six hundred years, which is not a trivial matter." Yu Drama! This son is a ninja! (Once the timing is lost, I'll have to be single for another six hundred years, which is no small thing!) Whoops, this guy is really a man with an iron heart)
At the time of parting, the fairy left her last poem, which was full of sad emotions:
Xiao Lang ignored the Fenglou people, and Yun Shi returned to the car with a new face.
Worried about the way back, it is difficult to peek into the old garden of peach spring.
- Mrs. Shangyuan, "Farewell"
Their love affair was finally broken. Three years later, Feng Zhi fell ill and died, and he was chased by the god of Taishan, locked with an iron lock, driven by the emissary, and prepared to be sent to the underground government.
Halfway up the road, suddenly a fairy's entourage stopped the way, and the messenger bent down to the left side of the road and said, "Lady Shangyuan has visited Mount Tai." Feng Zhi stood on the side of the road, peeking up, and suddenly found that the "Lady Shangyuan" who was admired by everyone was actually the fairy who proposed marriage in the past.
Lady Shangyuan pointed to Feng Zhi and said to the messenger escorting him, "You can't be ruthless towards this person. After saying that, he took another big stroke of the pen and extended the life of Feng Zhi by twenty years.
In the end, the messenger sent Feng Zhi home, and after a long time, he slowly woke up, and the story ended here.
It is a love story that is both reunited and tragic. The last sentence of the legend goes like this: "After regretting the past, weep and blame ourselves." (Later, Feng Zhi recalled the past, often regretting it, just crying and blaming himself))
Feng Zhi was like this, didn't Ah Huan wash her face with tears, and who knows how many tears she had left behind?
Say a detail that is extremely frightening. The story of Fengzhi takes place during the Bao calendar of the Tang Dynasty, that is, between 825 and 827 AD, and six hundred years later, that is, around 1425.
According to historical records, in 1425 AD, Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty died. Emperor Renzong, Zhu Gaozi, was obese and presumably not good-looking, but he loved the people and was enlightened in politics, and he could be called a benevolent and good emperor.
A good emperor, meet a good marriage, and then go away with both dragons and phoenixes, what a romantic story.
