If writing poetry and lyrics can evaluate the goddess, then Li Qingzhao must be elected.
Although she only left more than seventy works to her descendants in her lifetime, her status in the poetry world should not be underestimated, and her descendants put her together with Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi and others, which shows her talent.
Li Qingzhao lived in a feudal patriarchal society, and it is also a miracle that she has overcome difficulties to become a generation of poets along the way, and it is also a miracle that she has achieved such brilliant achievements.
As a woman, she also has the pride and ambition of a man, with the heart of the world, and the creed of "life as a master, death as a ghost" has now overshadowed many women and even men.
She has experienced national ruin, family death, marriage, divorce and remarriage and finally divorce in this life, even though life is full of twists and turns, but what is this for her? She still lives her way.
Everything in the world has two sides, and what is Li Qingzhao's negative life: excessive gambling, alcoholics, imprisonment, the so-called husband and wife love is just self-deception.
01 Literature edification, talent revealed
A person's success or failure has a lot to do with the family environment, and Li Qingzhao's talent is naturally inseparable from the influence of the family.
Li Qingzhao was born in a family full of literary atmosphere, his father was a scholar of Su Shi, and was known as one of the "Four Bachelors of Sumen".
Li Qingzhao's mother was the granddaughter of Gongchen the Champion King and also loved literature.
Li Qingzhao has been familiar with literature since she was a child, she also has a strong interest in literature, she likes to read some books when she has nothing to do, and she showed unusual skills at a young age, which was greatly appreciated by Su Shi's eldest disciple Chao Fuzhi.
Later, when she was six years old, she came to live in Bianjing with her father, and the prosperous scene and elegant living environment greatly stimulated her enthusiasm for creation.
Slowly developed a good impression of the word. And soon made a name for itself in the world of words.
We are very familiar with the lyrics "Like a Dream, Last Night's Rain and Wind" written when she was sixteen years old, which caused quite a stir in Bianjing as soon as it came out.
02 Alcoholic, gambling, a different life
Why is she said to be an alcoholic, in this poem there is such a sentence "heavy sleep does not kill alcohol".
In addition to this poem, the word "wine" often appears in some of her other words, from which people infer that Li Qingzhao is a keen drinker.
In fact, wine often appears in the works of some literary creators, not so much real wine as a kind of emotional sustenance of the creator, an emotion, perhaps there is really no wine.
Li Bai's sentence "I will have to drink 300 cups", I wonder who can drink 300 cups, and after drinking 300 cups, I have long been unconscious, how can I continue to create.
Li Qingzhao's love of wine is true, and whether he is really an alcoholic needs to be verified by history.
Li Qingzhao comes from a famous family, but she has such a habit of gambling. Of course, it was not called that in ancient times, and it was called Dama during the Song Dynasty.
Horse fighting was a very popular chess art in the Northern Song Dynasty, and in many ways it is very close to what we call flying chess. If the horse beating can be passed down to future generations, it is thanks to the "Horse Fighting Diagram" created by Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao likes to create for this, and he will forget to eat and sleep.
In the book, she also recorded that as long as it is some games such as gambling, she has to try it, she is very smart, so she is also a little familiar with these games, and she can quickly find the rules.
Of course, she also bets when she gambles to earn some money. This is actually related to her later experience, and the gambling of the poor life has become her way to supplement the family.
She not only made money herself, but also shared some skills and experience in this creation, which shows that she is not a waste of fame to say that she is the female gambling god of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Although she loves alcohol and gambling, she has always been a good woman.
03 The road to love is bumpy, dare to love and hate people are enviable
Marriage has been a proposition that people cannot escape since ancient times, and Li Qingzhao has reached the age of marriage. People are curious who can match the versatile Li Qingzhao?
Isn't the best love a soul connection? Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng are like this in the eyes of outsiders.
They met at the Lantern Festival, and although the two had never met, they were both attracted by each other's talents, and Zhao Mingcheng had admired Li Qingzhao for a long time.
The two of them are not only in good hands, but also have similar interests.
The story of the husband and wife cleverly wrote the birthday union is well-known, the upper link: Hua Jia reunited, and the increase in age, the lower link: ancient rare double celebration, re-adding the youth of young learning, everyone applauded.
The life between the two in the first two years after marriage can also be regarded as happy and the object of people's envy. But such times have a deadline, and their lives have changed drastically after the shame of Jingkang.
After Zhao Mingcheng settled down, she went to meet him, but in the process, she saw Zhao Mingcheng's cowardice, and the hero in her heart actually left herself.
How could Li Qingzhao not be sad for such an arrogant person, although she was discouraged, she did not choose to escape, vowing to coexist with the city. And Zhao Mingcheng was later depressed and died of illness.
Zhao Mingcheng's departure was also a big blow to Li Qingzhao, in the eyes of outsiders, their sincere feelings turned out to be so vulnerable, and in the end their true feelings were wrongly paid.
Later, Li Qingzhao began a life of displacement. Although the residence is uncertain, it is also free. Soon after, she met a man who changed the course of her life.
This person is Zhang Ruzhou, although this person has no talent and does not have too high an official position, but he gave enough care when Li Qingzhao needed it most.
Li Qingzhao felt the warmth of a long absence, and once again longed for marriage.
Soon after, Li Qingzhao married Zhang Ruzhou. Where did she think that this person approached her to covet her finances and began to expose her nature after marriage. From the initial impatience, to the beating of her.
Li Qingzhao is such a strong woman, she found out that Zhang Ruzhou's evil deeds were handed over to the government and decided to divorce this person.
You may not know that in that society at that time, women and men needed to go to jail to fight lawsuits, even so Li Qingzhao did not flinch, but fortunately successfully divorced.
Later, with the help of his friends, Li Qingzhao only experienced a few days in prison.
Such a talented Li Qingzhao who dares to love and hate is so that people cannot admire it.
This is Li Qingzhao, who has had ups and downs in his life. Although she lives in an era where she can't help herself, she still lives herself.
