The talented women of the Heian period in Japan were the Purple Style Department, the Wazumi Style Department, and the Kiyoshi Nayan, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
Purple Shibu's "The Tale of Genji" is extremely rich in the lingering love of aristocratic men and women, huge and magnificent; Izumi Shibu's "Hezumi Shibu Diary" recalls the spiritual communication with lovers, sincere and touching; and Kiyoshi Nayan's "Pillow Grass" condenses the aesthetics and tastes of the Heian period, and is delicate and delicate.
It is rumored that the two talented women in the same era, Zi Shibu, have a delicate relationship with Qing Shao Nayan.
Since the ancient literati are light, let alone a mountain that does not allow two tigers?
Zi Shibu is a sharp and straightforward person, and she does not shy away from showing her lack of appreciation for Qing Shao's words in her diary: "Always pretending to be elegant, even when it is quiet and boring, you must pretend to be touched, and such a person naturally develops a bad frivolous attitude in every funny thing." ”
In short, the Purple Style Department felt that Qing Shao was "pretentious".
Therefore, the contradiction between the two people is first of all a personality disharmony.
Qing Shao Nayan was born into a famous family, and his father Kiyohara Motosuke was a famous singer. Born well, mixed with aristocratic circles, so more fashionable, eating and wearing are very exquisite, taste is more elegant. Her father was a person in the literary and artistic circles, so there was no white ding, and he received literary influence from an early age, and was a proper literary and artistic young woman.
She wrote that the giggling groom was "red in the face, very interesting." Write the sky of the Chongyang Festival "The wind and rain have stopped, but it is still gloomy, as if it will rain at any time, which is very interesting." Guessing the identity of the owner of the bamboo mat cart that swept by, he felt "That's interesting!" Imagine the kowtowing worm grunting in the dark, "It's funny. Even the names of flowers and plants, the round houses, and the ants walking on the water can make her can't help but say, "This is very interesting." ”
The phrase "very interesting" is almost all over the lines of "Pillow Grass". It is also the place where the Purple Style Department focuses on her.
However, you can glimpse beauty from the small everyday. It is enough to show that she is delicate and observant.
She even wrote in "Pillow Grass": "I think it is very interesting, and in the minds of others, it is also very interesting, but it is also interesting." 」 "You can see how playful and humorous it is.
The origin of the title "Pillow Grass" also reflects the quick thinking of Qing Shao Nayan: one day, Yi Zhou, the brother of the Stator of the Middle Palace (that is, the Empress), sent the emperor and the stator. The Emperor ordered people to use this paper to write the "History". Therefore, The stator discussed the use of paper with Qing Shao Nayan, and she playfully said: "Since the emperor is a 'historical record', let's use it to make a 'pillow'." (Bai Juyi has a poem: "After all the things in the back hall, the white-haired old jailer sleeps on the pillow.") "The idleness of the "pillow book" is extremely elegant! After the stator finished listening, he couldn't help but be amused, so he gave all the paper to Qing Shao Nayan. It was on these pieces of paper that Juanxiu's handwriting was gradually dimmed, idly recording what Qing Shao Nayan saw and felt.
There is also a story recorded in the "Pillow Grass", saying that one day the Queen of The Stator suddenly said: "Incense burner peak snow". You don't understand what that means. Only Qing Shao Nayan immediately stood up and rolled up the curtain. Bai Ju Yi Shiyun: "Incense burner peak snow curtain to see." (Japan really admires Bai Juyi's poetry.) The Stator Queen deliberately said the first half of the sentence, that is, to make everyone think of the second half of the sentence. From here, we can see that Qing Shao Nayan is astute in his response. No wonder empress Dowager Stator said, "He who knows me is a young woman." ”
Qing Shao Nayan married Tachibana Zeguang at the age of 16, and the two eventually divorced due to too much difference in cultural level. Before marriage, Qing Shao Nayan knew that Tachibana was just a big boss, and he really couldn't help but pursue it hard before agreeing to his marriage proposal. It can be seen from here that Qing Shao Nayan not only has the talent to estimate his appearance. Otherwise, how can the big old coarse orange be chased by the light?
The strange thing is that after the two divorced, the relationship is still quite good, commensurate with brothers and sisters, and often communicate. It can be seen from here that Qing Shao Nayan is gentle and easy-going, and does not make enemies with people.
Because of the favor of the Stator, Qing Shao Nayan entered the palace at the age of 27 as a female official of the Stator. Qing was her surname, and Shao Na Yan was her position in the palace.
That's the best age for a woman. The green astringency fades and matures and plumps. The nobles of the Heian period again made the pursuit of love a graceful thing. Therefore, the talented and good-looking Qing Shao Nayan is naturally very popular and has many lovers. She also does not shy away from talking about the interesting things about her meeting with her lover in the book. I am afraid that this is also one of the reasons why it has been criticized as "frivolous" by the Purple Department.
Let's look at the Purple Department.
Purple Shibu came from a middle aristocratic family, not only had outstanding literary talent, but also played a guzheng well. Unfortunately, the family fell in the middle of the road, and she was forced to marry a bad old man who was 25 years older than herself at a young age. Not long after the marriage, the husband drove the crane to the west. She was young and widowed, lonely. Under such circumstances, she began to write "The Tale of Genji" in order to dispel her loneliness, which was widely popular for a time and was appreciated by Fujiwara Michiaga, a powerful figure at the time.
Subsequently, she entered the palace and became a female official of Fujiwara Akiko, the daughter of Fujiwara Michiaga.
It is said that at that time, due to some complicated reasons in the harem, a situation of "two queens standing side by side" was formed. Zi Shibu was the female official of Empress Zhangzi, while Qing Shao Nayan was the female official of Empress Dowager Dingzi. Each does his duty and each is his master, which is another major reason for the discord between the two.
What is interesting is that the female Imperial Akiko served by the Purple Style Department is as powerful as the sun in the sky, while Qing Shao Nayan endures the silence and cold palace with the Middle Palace Stator.
The Purple Style Department, who is surrounded by glory and wealth and drunken gold fans, writes a story of mourning and sadness; while the desolate Qing Shao Nayan is indifferent to the court's intrigues and focuses on the beauty around him.
Perhaps, in the blossoming place, you can smell the rotten smell of prosperity and decay, and the fiery fire of the world can refine the optimistic and open-minded real gold.
