For thousands of years, there have been so many women with tragic fates, from Cai Wenji, who married three times in her life, to Yang Guifei, who broke Ma Weipo, from Mrs. Qi who was made an adult to the little cabbage who was unjustly imprisoned, which one is not miserable and bumpy, and Yu Xuanji is one of them.
Yu Xuanji, whose real name is Yu Youwei, was one of the most famous female poets in the Tang Dynasty. If you don't know her name, you should have heard the sentence she wrote - easy to ask for priceless treasures, rare to have love. It can also be seen from this poem that Yu Xuanji is also a temperamental woman who yearns for sincere love, but why did such a talented woman become a murderer in the end?
1. Juvenile disobedience.
It is said that Yu Youwei's father is a down-and-out scholar, he attaches great importance to Yu Youwei's education, and Yu Youwei herself is very smart, so she can recite 100 poems at the age of five, and she can write poems at the age of seven, and she will be famous in Chang'an at the age of twelve.
If she continues to live like this, maybe Yu Youwei's life will be different, but unfortunately, her father died when she was a teenager, leaving her mother and her two people, living a very hard life, and she can only rely on washing other people's clothes to survive.
At this time, Yu Youwei must still have a yearning, looking forward to the day when she grows up, looking forward to the man who belongs to her in her life, and looking forward to the light of her love.
2. Fall in love with the teacher.
Yu Youwei's life passed smoothly until she was 12 years old, when she met the first man in her life who gave her a turning point - Wen Tingyun.
I won't say much about what kind of person Wen Tingyun is, in short, he has two characteristics, one is talented, known as Wen Bacha, that is, he can complete the work of eight rhymes within eight fork movements. And the other is ugly, and it is precisely this reason that blocks his career path.
12-year-old Yu Youwei amazed Wen Tingyun, so he became Yu Youwei's teacher and began to teach her how to write poetry.
Slowly, Yu Youwei fell in love with her teacher, but Wen Tingyun was 45 years old at the time, and her appearance was ugly, Wen Tingyun did not accept this feeling, and in order to avoid Yu Youwei, Wen Tingyun left Chang'an.
Yu Youwei must have been stunned and disappointed at that time, but it seems that these can be slowly forgotten when she is in her youth.
3. Marry Li Yi.
The second man Yu Youwei knew who gave her a turning point was Li Yi.
Li Yi is the champion of the Yuan, a noble son, and more importantly, Li Yi already has a wife. But Yu Youwei, who loves deeply, still cares about this, she decisively lives with Li Yi.
If the name is not right, it is not good, not to mention that the original wife Pei was also a woman from a big family. Sure enough, Yu Youwei was severely beaten by Pei's and tortured in every way. There was no way, Li Yi had no choice but to send her to a Taoist temple, and agreed with her that he would take her back in three years, and Yu Youwei became a fish mystery from then on.
4. Incense and jade.
It's a pity that it is better to believe in the words of men than to believe that there are ghosts in the world.
Three years later, Li Yi did not fulfill his promise, and the desperate fish mystery completely let go of himself from then on. She recruited a lot of guests, welcomed them every day, and lived in a drunken gold fan.
Originally, if life has always been like this, the future of Yu Xuanji is nothing more than waiting until people are old and decrepit and no one cares, and find a place to spend the rest of their lives quietly with their savings, although it is not good enough, but compared to everything she has to face in the future, it is always easy.
But life is always full of accidents. That year, Yu Xuanji's maidservant Lu Qiao seduced one of her lovers, which made Yu Xuanji very annoyed, and then he beat Lu Qiao like crazy, and as a result, he killed the person. At this time, Yu Xuanji could only be imprisoned. Originally, it may not be a crime to death, but it is said that the official who presided over the trial happened to be a person that Yu Xuanji once looked down on, so in the end, only death greeted Yu Xuanji.
27 years old, the age of peerless elegance, but she died of incense. Who is to blame for all this? Blame her father for his early death? Blame her teacher for not accepting her affection? Blame Li Yi for not taking her back? No, all this is just a choice opened by fate, but Yu Xuanji always chooses the worst.
Look at the interpretation of Yu Xuanji's life, we will always be full of regrets and regrets, she seems to be telling us: women, don't fall in love, don't completely rely on and believe in men, otherwise, it will be a catastrophe...
