Today, monk Wang tells you the story of a talented woman.
She was good at poetry and painting, and was a female disciple of the famous Qing Dynasty poet Yuan Ming, who praised her poems as "characters out of sexual spirit, not picking up the teeth and wisdom of the ancients, heavenly opportunities are clear and wonderful, syllables are brilliant", and was quoted by Yuan Ming as a confidant in the boudoir. She is gentle and virtuous, and she has a deep affection for her husband and son, and the two often read poetry books together under the window lamp, leaving many good stories of singing and harmony.
She is Xi Peilan, a famous talented woman of the Qing Dynasty. Her original name was Ruizhu, the word moon placket, because she particularly likes orchids, and is good at painting orchids to entertain herself, she named herself "Perrin". Qu Yuan's "Leaving sorrow" has a sentence "Qiulan thinks of Pei", which shows that she is like an orchid, and can also see her temperament and feelings.

Xi Peilan is a native of Changshu, Jiangsu Province, and her grandfather Xi Baozhen was a cabinet secretary, and the Xi family is a famous giant Jia clan in Changshu. The favorable family environment allowed her to read and learn poetry. Xi Peilan has been intelligent and studious since childhood, likes to read poetry, although he grew up in the boudoir, it is not like ordinary women who take needle and thread as a female red, and they are eager to see the world, increase their knowledge, and be a talented woman.
According to legend, on the day of Xi Peilan's birth, several stems of Ganoderma lucidum suddenly grew in front of her window, and her parents thought it was a sign of auspicious rui, so they named her "Ruizhi". She has studied very hard since she was a child, and at the age of eight or nine, she has finished learning "Mao Poems", and her father has also paid attention to cultivating her and teaching her to learn "Green Window Yin". She has a poem about the pain of her reading, which is "not at ease with a word, leaning on the pillar at night to see the Autumn River obliquely."
△ Xi Peilan has been talented since childhood
When Xi Peilan was 17 years old, he married his compatriot Sun Yuanxiang. The wonderful thing is that she and her husband are the same age, both born in Qianlong for twenty-five years, but her husband's talent is far less than hers. Sun Yuanxiang once said, "When Yuan Xiang was twelve or thirteen, I didn't know what poetry was. Since the return of Shen Dong Peilan, he began to learn poetry. It can be seen that Sun Yuanxiang still began to study poetry under the influence of his wife. Sun Yuanxiang once said in a poem that his wife "ice muscle snow wrist defiance of the guxian, at first marriage is still like an unmarried year", you can imagine Xi Peilan's appearance and temperament when she first married.
Sun Yuanxiang was also a talented son of Changshu, known as a prodigy at an early age, and traveled through the mountains and rivers in his youth, and saw famous places of worship and poetry, so he became famous in Kyoto at a young age. After Xi Peilan married Sun Yuanxiang, the couple had similar interests and deep affection, often under the window lamp, reading books together and chanting poems against each other. The two were also teachers and friends, and they recited together, and Sun Yuanxiang once had a poem describing this scene, which said, "There is a boudoir like a schoolhouse, and one compilation is placed horizontally for two people to see."

Scipella admired her husband's talent and often spoke of encouragement. Although Sun Yuanxiang has excellent poetic talent, he has repeatedly tried and failed, so he is very troubled in his heart. Xi Peilan wrote a poem to encourage him to say that "the poetry of the king is to keep the king's learning, and there is talent so enough to pass on", and encouraged him to be like Li Du and not to worry about falling in the first place.
Xi Peilan has a poem that sends her husband to Beijing for the examination, which is worth reading. The poems are as follows:
It is late in January to pack up the folding line, and this is really the time to send off.
Wind and flowers have a saying that who rewards them, cold and warm no one should know themselves.
The heavy expectation should not be a long-term departure, and the name is turned into a mistaken return date.
If you send a family letter, you will only send poetry.
The husband has to go out to catch the exam, and the attentive wife packs her husband's clothes. But the husband and wife are deeply in love and have been preparing for a month, and the husband has not yet been on the road. On this day, Xi Peilan made up his mind that he must let her husband go far, so he said, "This dynasty is really the time to send off", which means that if you don't leave, you will never be able to go.
△ Xi Peilan sent her husband on a long journey
However, the husband travels far away, leaving the wife with endless loneliness. She longed to enjoy the flowers and write poems under the moon with her husband, and worried about her husband going out, and no one booed and asked for warmth. Later, In the poem "Smelling the Anvil", Xi Peilan said, "Knock out dreams outside the sky and smash the hearts of guests", which shows how worried and worried about her husband's long journey. Therefore, "no one should know that the cold and warm are full of understanding and persuasion". Sun Yuanxiang also has a poem "Xiao Bei" that says: "Three reversals of the hand before leaving, knowing that I will know the Qing", the couple said goodbye to each other, shook each other's hands, and it was difficult to leave.
Monk Wang believes that the best thing is that "the love should not be long-term parting, and the name is turned into a fear of mistaken return date", which writes the wife's worries and desires for her husband. The husband and wife have deep feelings, the husband naturally remembers the home, wants to return home as soon as possible, the husband and wife's parting will naturally not last long, but the husband wants to enter Beijing to catch the exam, in case the husband Jinbang high school, so that the wildflowers on the side of the road? Therefore, Xi Peilan was a little worried about her husband's entry into Beijing to take the exam, afraid that he would become famous and forget his wife who was waiting at home.
However, although her heart is very contradictory, Xi Peilan still abides by the woman's way, comforting her husband not to worry about the family outside, she must assume the responsibility of "raising relatives and lessons" and patiently wait for her husband's return. Xi Peilan, who likes poetry books, also warned her husband that "if she sends family letters only send poems", it can be seen that she is very confident in her husband's talent and learning, and she is eager to read her husband's latest poetry. It can also be considered that the thoughts and love words between husband and wife may be more secretive and freer in poetry.
△ Xi Peilan temperament is like an orchid
When Sun Yuan returned home after the scientific expedition in Xiangjing City, Xi Peilan was overjoyed and wrote a seven-law poem "Happy Return", which is full of true feelings and makes people love and pity. The works are as follows:
Xiao Window's ghost dream was suddenly startled, and the exception was made today.
Pointing to the day of the return of the wheel, the sound of the entrance has been heard in the ear.
Pity the face of the wind and dust, just like the eyes of the water moon qing.
It is good to greet the church diligently, and dare to say goodbye to the children first.
The husband returned from afar, and the wife suddenly felt that the sky was bright, and the cries of birds and finches seemed crisp and beautiful. She counted the days when her husband left home every day, and when she heard the sound of her husband's entry, how could she not be overjoyed! After wandering outside for a long time, her husband was full of dust and had lost a lot of weight, but Xi Peilan was pleased that her husband was still handsome and elegant. However, she did not forget the etiquette because of her husband's return, and she did not want to tell her husband about her children's private feelings immediately, but instead persuaded him to go to his parents first.
These two poems are written clearly and beautifully, and although the words are not difficult, they are full of true feelings and can be most moving. In particular, the empathy and gentleness displayed in the poem are even more heartwarming.
△ Syperland studied poetry very hard
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 03.Striving to learn poetry, Xi Peilan worships Yuan Mei as a teacher, exercises poetry bones, and eventually becomes a generation of talented women</h1>
Sepperland's attitude toward poetry is very religious, she believes that poetry "should be all for work, not for the moaning of disease", and her refusal to create is simply "self-chanting" and "idle chanting", but should "do something". Therefore, Xi Peilan's poems are gentle but strong, beautiful and have wind and bones inside.
Because of this, Xi Peilan was very famous among the Qing Dynasty poets, and her talent and prestige were recognized by the public, and many people asked her to write elegy, but she rarely shirked. For example, she wrote in the "Elegy of Wu Liewo woman" that "whoever is a hundred years old in life does not die, and dies without dying of a woman's ear", which shows her high praise for the women of jie lie.
Shiperan was not only a gentle and virtuous wife, but also a "female husband" who bravely pursued poetics. This has to start with his visit to Yuan Ming. Yuan Ming was a recognized poetics scholar at that time, and Sun Yuanxiang studied with Yuan Ming. After learning of Yuan Ming's name, with the encouragement of her husband, Xi Peilan wrote poems to recommend poetry to Yuan Ming. In the poem, she said, "Mu Gong's name reads public poems, and everyone in the sea looks late... Deep boudoir soft Han learns graffiti, Mr. Heavy Lotus borrows teeth and teeth".
△ Xi Peilan became Yuan Ming's confidante
In the Qing Dynasty, women's studies flourished, and many bridesmaids began to break through the barrier of "men and women are not intimate", and contacted male poets by learning poetry, singing and joint sentences through worshippers, eager to get help in order to improve their poetics. Xi Peilan was so brave in recommending herself, which surprised Yuan Ming and accepted her as a female disciple. Yuan Ming greatly admired Xi Peilan's poetic talent, and when he later compiled the poetry collection "Selected Poems of Female Disciples in Suiyuan" for many female disciples, he listed Xi Peilan's works as the beginning of the volume and cited her as one of the "three confidants in the boudoir". Yuan Mei even believes that her poems are the crown of this dynasty, "its best points are always intentional and then there are poems."
Xi Peilan's broad vision and strong character can be seen in the poem "The Master Repays the Return of the Poem to Comfort", which is a song line in which he comforts her husband's failure in the scientific expedition and encourages him to concentrate on writing poetry and not to humbly pursue fame and fortune. For example, in the poem, she first praised her husband and said that "the master learns poetry Du and Li, and if he is not male, he is super-innocent", Li Bai DuFu is still defeated in the field, so why is her husband who is determined to learn From Li Bai Du Fu worried?
Xi Peilan continued to comfort her husband, saying: "Fengzi Is reasonable or not, it is not in line with the genius to have such a talent", poetry is good, does not mean that the officialdom is proud, since ancient times, there are many people who have not met. Scipella admired her husband's talents, likened him to a "genius," and expressed deep sympathy for his trials and tribulations. And she said that "the human examiner does not dare to accept it, let Li Du be a disciple", because her husband's talent is too advanced, so the human examiner does not dare, nor can he accept it.

Finally, Xi Peilan comforted her husband, saying: "The poetry of the king is enough to learn from the king, and it is enough to pass on the talent... Meritorious name is the most tiring of schooling, and at that time, the honor and death were already over. It can be seen that Xi Peilan has a very thorough understanding of the idea of the imperial examination system to kill the literati, and encouraged her husband to only study poetics with his heart, and not to worry about the name of merit. In addition, Xi Peilan also said that he "knows that begging is shameful", in order to warn her husband not to wag his tail and beg for pity, and to seek fame and fortune.
It can be seen from this that Xi Peilan's respect and encouragement for her husband can also be seen that she is understanding and gentle and open-minded, and it can also be seen that her cold wind and vision can be seen.
In 1820, Xi Peilan died of illness at the age of 60, leaving 710 poems for posterity to remember her style and talent.
