She was born into a famous family, combining talent and beauty, she was known as a perfect woman who only came out of it for hundreds of years, was favored by Emperor Hancheng for fourteen years, but finally lost to two dancing girls, guarded the imperial tomb alone, and died alone.
Ban Jieyu's father, Ban Cheng, made great achievements in the battles against the Xiongnu during the Han Wudi period.
Ban Jieyu has been smart since childhood, received a good education since childhood, and is good at music and poetry, not only that, Ban Jieyu's appearance is also beautiful and unforgettable.
After the Hancheng Emperor Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, this talented woman was elected to the harem. She was first a major envoy and later made a concubine.
With her beautiful appearance and outstanding literary talent, Ban Jieyu soon won the favor of Emperor Hancheng. Emperor Hancheng was once inseparable from Ban Jieyu, and he also let her accompany him when traveling, and built a huge chariot specially for her.
However, Ban Jieyu directly refused to take this chariot, which Emperor Hancheng was very puzzled about, Ban Jieyu explained to Emperor Hancheng that since ancient times, the Ming Jun will let the wise and famous generals accompany him, and those who let Meiji's favored concubine accompany all day can only be the Dusk Jun. Emperor Hancheng thought that Ban Jieyu's words were very reasonable, so he no longer asked to ride with her.
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she praised it even more: There was Fan Ji in ancient times, and now there is Ban Jieyu.
During the Warring States period, King Chuzhuang's wife Fan Ji became a model for later generations of virtuous Neisuke with her virtuous virtue. King Chuzhuang had just ascended the throne and began to indulge in pleasure, hunting and playing every day, completely leaving the imperial government behind. Fan Ji repeatedly dissuaded King Chuzhuang from still indulging in pleasure, so Fan Ji decided not to eat poultry and animal meat anymore. King Chuzhuang was deeply touched by Fan Ji's willpower, and he began to diligently perform government affairs, putting his mind back on governing the country. With the help and assistance of Fan Ji, King Chuzhuang eventually became one of the "Five Masters of Spring and Autumn".
The Empress Dowager's affirmation of Ban Jieyu greatly encouraged Ban Jieyu's fighting spirit in assisting Emperor Hancheng to become a Ming monarch, and Ban Jieyu was committed to improving her cultivation in various aspects such as women's morality, appearance, talent and work, hoping to have a profound impact on Emperor Hancheng and enable him to become a generation of Ming monarchs.
However, Emperor Hancheng was not the king of Chuzhuang after all, his willpower was not so tenacious, and he left Ban Jieyu behind after seeing the charming and beautiful Zhao Feiyan.
In 18 BC, Emperor Hancheng brought the sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede back to the palace from the residence of his sister Princess Yang'a, and since then they have been immersed in the sound of dogs and horses, while Ban Jieyu has gradually been snubbed.
After the Zhao sisters entered the palace, the grass chicken turned into a phoenix, and her heart swelled, flying and domineering in the harem, doing whatever she wanted.
Empress Xu, as the head of the harem, hated this, so she set up an altar in the lonely lamp and cold sleeping palace, chanted prayers in the morning and evening, prayed for the emperor's blessings and longevity, and cursed the Zhao sisters for disaster.
However, Empress Xu's setting up of the altar was described by the Zhao sisters as a witchcraft, and in front of Emperor Hancheng, Empress Xu not only cursed herself, but also cursed the emperor. Emperor Hancheng was furious and deposed Empress Xu in Zhaotai Palace.
The Zhao sisters took the opportunity to blame Empress Xu's good sister Ban Jieyu for a big publicity, and Emperor Hancheng listened to rumors that he wanted to cure Ban Jieyu's crime.
Ban Jieyu calmly and calmly told Emperor Hancheng that the length of human life is fated, and people's wealth is also destined by heaven, and manpower cannot be changed. What hope is there for what is right and not blessed? If the ghosts and gods had knowledge, how would they listen to prayers without faith? If the gods are ignorant, what good is a curse? She did not dare to do it, and did not disdain to do it.
Emperor Han Chengdi felt that what Ban Jieyu said was reasonable, and he also knew that Ban Jieyu's character would not do such a thing, so he no longer pursued it. Later, Emperor Hancheng gave Ban Jieyu a rich reward to make up for the debt owed to her.
After this incident, Ban Jieyu knew that the Zhao sisters would never stop there, and Ban Jieyu decided to stay away from these senseless fights.
Therefore, she took the initiative to ask to serve the Empress Dowager in Changxin Palace. Quitting the fight does not mean that Ban Jieyu cannot fight with the Zhao sisters, but as she herself said, she does not disdain to fight with them.
A few years later, Emperor Hancheng died on horseback, and the fate of the Zhao sisters came to an end. However, Ban Jieyu walked out of Changxin Palace and decided to guard the soul of the emperor who had abandoned him.
"If life is only like the first sight, what is the autumn wind and sad painting fan" is a poem written by the Qing Dynasty poet Nalan Zhide to Ban Jieyu, but it is the best portrayal of Ban Jieyu's life.
When Ban Jieyu and Emperor Hanchengdi met for the first time, Emperor Hanchengdi saw all her beauty and decided to spoil her for the rest of his life. However, these ethereal promises are always too short-lived, like clouds in the sky, and they will disperse as soon as they blow.
Ban Jieyu wrote "Tuan Fan Poem" after falling out of favor, "New cracked Qi Lin, bright as frost and snow." Cut as an acacia fan, the reunion is like a bright moon.
In and out of Jun's sleeves, shake the breeze. Often afraid of the autumn festival, the coolness takes the heat. In the renunciation of donations, kindness is absolute. ”
