Zuo Di, the character Laneige, is written by the mainland. One of the famous female poetess. In terms of her origin, she is also a lady, she liked literature very much when she was a teenager, she was very good at writing articles, and later entered the palace as a concubine of Emperor Wu. There are more than 20 poems, fu, odes, praises, and chants in existence, most of which were written in response to the edict, among which "Leaving Thinking Fu" is famous in ancient and modern times. At that time, the Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan heard that Zuo Si's sister Zuo Di was talented and famous, and without thinking, she was included in the harem, but this was the beginning of her tragic life. Sima Yan, who had always been absurd and greedy, made Zuo Di a concubine, but she just wanted to win a false reputation for herself and get the praise of the people of the world. After Zuo Di entered the palace, there was naturally glory and wealth, but the spiritual emptiness and loneliness became her sorrow.
Only then did he become famous, because he entered the palace
Zuo Di may be a little strange to everyone, but when it comes to her brother Zuo Si, I am afraid that many people have heard of it, and when Zuo Si was in the Western Jin Dynasty, he was almost famous all over the world, and everyone knew it. At that time, he wrote "Sandu Fu", magnificent, sensational in the literary circle, Luoyang people are competing to copy, very popular, because there are many people copying, and can only be written on paper, as a result, Luoyang's paper is in short supply for a while, making the price of paper soar, which is the allusion to "Luoyang paper expensive".
Zuo Si is famous and often entertains guests, and everyone gradually knows that Zuo Si actually has a talent. His younger sister is named Zuo Di. According to historical records, Zuo Di was as ugly as her brother, but her literary attainments were high. At that time, the poetry style of the Western Jin Dynasty was mostly overly carved and pursued gorgeous sounds, while Zuo Di's works were simple and natural, and they were known for their direct expression of the soul, which was rare and could be regarded as a clear stream.
Zuo Di is very talented in literature, she has been very studious since she was a child, she has read many classics, and she is gifted, and she began to write poems and articles at a very young age. Later, Emperor Wu also heard about Zuo Di's talent, and he probably didn't know or care about what this woman looked like before, just knowing that she must be full of talent from the point of view of reputation, so he guessed that Chang Xiang should not be ugly, and his talent would not be much worse. And the harem is three thousand beauties, naturally it is a lot. Many. Benefit. Goodness, at least can show that he cherishes and admires talented people, so that he can also win a good reputation for himself, so he recruited Zuo Di into the palace. Zuo Di was only a cultivator when he first entered the palace, and later became a noble concubine, but he was not favored by this emperor.
Sima Yan's cultural accomplishment was far inferior to that of his ancestor Sima Yi and his father Sima Zhao, but at that time, Sima Yan inherited the great rivers and mountains laid down by his grandfather and father, and when he saw the return of the three points to the Jin Dynasty and the unification of the world, he felt that he had become a generation of hegemons, and began to indulge in pleasures. That's good. The disciples of color not only took the beautiful harem of Shu and Wu as their own, enriched the harem, but also wantonly searched for beauty among the people. The woman enters the palace.
The inclusion of Zuo Di in the harem was only named for her "poet", but because Zuo Di was not beautiful, Sima Yan retreated when he saw her appearance. In order to show their love and cherishing of talent, some emperors liked to recruit literati Yashi as officials, but Emperor Wudi of Jin chose to marry a literati as a concubine, as if to further demonstrate his desire for talent. Accepting a poet concubine seems to have improved a lot with his own taste.
Enter the palace into elegant furnishings
Sima Yan, the emperor of Jin Wu, included Zuo Di in the harem, in fact, it is just a reputation fishing, vassal elegance, and no desire to spare talent, just like some people have elegant vassals, buy famous paintings and curios and put them at home, in fact, there is nothing in the belly, and they don't know how to appreciate it, let alone see the charm, that is, the gold that knows these things. The value of money is only, I'm afraid I can't even tell the difference between ugly and beautiful.
The Book of Jin records the life of this tragic female poet after entering the palace: "Ugly and unfavored, see the courtesy with talent." "Think of this beautiful harem of the Jin Wu Emperor, and don't even know how to choose a concubine of Linxing, so I often get on a sheep cart, go around the harem, and spend the night wherever I park." And Zuo Di is ugly and in poor health, and it is not unusual to live in a simple house, let alone get the favor of the emperor.
However, although Zuo Di is not favored, after all, she is knowledgeable and still has her own thoughts, and in the deep palace, she must continue to fulfill her obligation to "compose poetry and composition" as a talented woman, after all, the purpose of her recruitment into the palace is to highlight "literature and art". Sima Yan, the emperor of Jin Wu, was also very satisfied with Zuo Di's talent in writing poetry, and the Book of Jin mentions, "The emperor recalls the rhetoric, and every thing and treasure must be edicted as a praise", "When it comes to the meaning of the text, the words are to Tsinghua, and the left and right attendants are not beautiful." This is also the support and support for her survival in the palace, no favor, no heirs, I am afraid that only this talent can make her live in intrigue. Therefore, whenever something happened in the court, Zuo Di was always ordered to write various fingers. Style poetry and songs. In fact, Zuo Di played more like a court emperor. With poets, not the emperor's concubines.
Zuo Di, with her talent, finally did not let herself be unknown and bullied, and she became Sima Yan's "full-time secretary", often accompanying the emperor. Her main job was to write propositional essays for Sima Yan to enjoy. For example, one day, Sima Yan suddenly felt a little lost and not happy, so he asked Zuo Di to compose poetry. Zuo Di thought for a moment and thought of his tragic fate, so he waved his pen and wrote it freely. The famous "Leaving Thoughts".
But in fact, for Zuo Di, this fate made her suffer double pain. First of all, starting from a woman's spiritual world, she cannot get vigorous sincere love, nor will she get the blind date love between ordinary husband and wife. Secondly, from the poet's point of view, she does not have the self-creation of the self. Why, like a bird trapped in a cage, it must always write something that responds to the situation. Zuo Di's great talent is just like the song and dance of the song girl. The dance of women is the same, for the emperor's entertainment after drinking and eating, it is mostly a decoration to show elegance.
In 290 AD, Sima Yan died in Luoyang, and the people who left and right finally left her, but at the same time she also lost her husband and lost her own dependence in the palace. In 291 AD, the stupid emperor Jia Nanfeng, the empress of the Jinhui Emperor, controlled the harem and the former dynasty, and actually starved the empress dowager Yang Zhi to death, and the palace maids who served Yang Zhi also ended up. After Jia Nanfeng took control of the stupid emperor, she did whatever she wanted, without restraint, and chaotic the palace was forbidden, she sent her henchmen out of the palace to find a beautiful young man for her to enter the palace, and after the chaos, she killed them one by one, and even took pleasure in it, and later killed Sima Sui, the crown prince who was not born to her. At this time, the palace was turned upside down, and Zuo Di was probably left out in the cold and no one cared, and at this time, Zuo Di silently ended her tragic life.
Pinned on poetry, the evening scene is bleak
Zuo Di has more than 20 poems, fu, odes, praises, and chants, most of which were written in response to the edict, and the well-known "Feeling Separation Poem", "Sense Separation Fu" and "Pecking Wood Poem" are her representative works. Among the poems she was commissioned to write, although there are sincere works, they cannot escape the shadow of the situation in any way. However, it is precisely because these works are "written in response to the edict" that Zuo Di's articles have been passed down to later generations. And people have to admit that Zuo Di is indeed very talented, and such an ordinary and even vulgar subject matter cannot hide her talent. With her own unique perspective and feelings, she has a new play on the theme of "palace grudge" and occupies a world in literary history.
In the nearly 400-word "Leaving Sifu", Zuo Di vented his feelings and sorrows about fate: "The sinking of hidden worries accumulates, and the solitary depression is stunned"; "The night is sleepless, and the soul longs for the dawn"; "Feeling so much sorrow, suffering from tears"; "Walk on your back to the clouds to be soothed, and the snot to shoot and stain the towel"; Even "long mourning and hugging Qi Xi, looking up to the sky and crying blood", the anger of palace grudges makes people sad and condenses the sorrow of being a woman in the deep palace. She is not limited to herself, not only lamenting her deep palace pain, but magnifying the tragic fate of thousands of court women throughout the ages, and at the same time reflecting the author's pursuit of female independence. Establish personality, yearn for the sea and sky outside the palace. By the desire to be at ease.
Today's literary people have given this evaluation of "Leaving Si Fu": "Palace grudge poetry Fu is mostly written about waiting for the luck of hope, such as Sima Xiang's "Changmen Fu", Tang Xuanzong's Jiangfei "Lou Dong Fu", etc., especially its authors. Zuo Di is not proud of serving the emperor, but hates the 'closest relatives', which can be described as aspirations. This was the evaluation of posterity, at that time, Sima Yan was rarely embarrassed after reading this work, and for a while relied more on Zuo Di's literary style.
Zuo Di is in the palace, isolated from the world, and it is really sad to suffer from the favor and profit of this. As the literary commentator said, the article shows that she "has aspirations", although it shows her independence. Intentional, but Zuo Di is unable to escape fate, because she is "aspirational", so she is unwilling, she is more painful, powerless, and difficult every day. Zuo Di's life is like a bird in captivity, originally it could spread its wings and fly high and make a more beautiful sound, but the reality is embarrassing and helpless, finally folding his wings, scarred, and the pain in it is only known to himself.
