Today, I read Du Fu's "Yonghuai Monuments: Part III", the original text is as follows:
Mountains and ravines go to Jingmen, and there is still a village for the Ming concubine.
As soon as I went to the Zitai Lianshuo Desert, I left the green mound alone to dusk.
Draw a picture to understand the spring breeze surface, and return to the night moon soul around the sky.
For thousands of years, the pipa has been used as nonsense, and it is clear that the resentment is in the song.
This poem made me deeply feel the weight of history and the helplessness of life. Du Fu used the story of Wang Zhaojun as an introduction, and used the past to satirize the present, expressing his dissatisfaction with the times and his feelings about the impermanence of life.
After reading the whole poem and re-examining Wang Zhaojun's life, I can't help but feel emotional.
A lamentable, upside-down and legendary life
Wang Zhaojun depicted in the poem is beautiful and tenacious, she is far away from her homeland, married the Huns, and finally stays outside the Saiwai, lonely and old.
The helplessness and sadness of this fate make people deeply sympathetic. And Du Fu also expressed his dissatisfaction with the society at that time by depicting what happened to Zhaojun. He satirized the mediocrity and incompetence of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, who was irresponsible for the fate of the people in the palace of the concubines, and only made decisions based on drawings, thus revealing the various shortcomings of feudal society.
In the vast history, Wang Zhaojun's name is like a bright pearl, shining brightly. With her indomitable spirit and elegant temperament, she has become a good story for future generations.
Wang Zhaojun, a palace maid from an ordinary background, has extraordinary talent and beauty. However, fate did not favor her, and she was chosen to be the princess of Heqin and marry the Huns.
In the face of this sudden change, Wang Zhaojun did not choose to escape or give in, but embarked on this road full of hardships with firm faith and tenacious spirit.
On the grassland outside the Saiwai, Wang Zhaojun has experienced countless hardships and tests. Not only did she have to adapt to an unfamiliar environment and language, but she also had to face the suspicion and exclusion of the Huns.
Wang Zhaojun's portrait reveals a kind of tenacity and wisdom. Her eyes were deep and determined, as if to say, "Even if fate is admitted, I will face it bravely." ”
This kind of tenacity and wisdom is the reason why Wang Zhaojun was able to remain sober and independent in the complex and complicated palace struggles.
In order to be close, she married three husbands in her life, because of the Huns' succession marriage system, she successively married Shan Yu, Shan Yu's son and grandson.
Wang Zhaojun's tenacity is not only reflected in her attitude towards life, but also in her inheritance and promotion of culture. She knew that she was on a mission to carry out cultural exchanges between Han and Hungary, so she worked hard to learn the language and culture of the Xiongnu, and at the same time brought the civilization of the Central Plains to the outside of Cyprus. With her actions, she interprets the spiritual connotation of the coexistence of tenacity and elegance.
Wang Zhaojun's tenacity and grace are not only her personal qualities, but also a symbol of her spirit. With her own life course, she interprets what true tenacity and elegance are.
Wang Zhaojun's marriage was not just a personal marriage, but a political marriage.
Her marriage to the Xiongnu not only consolidated the friendly relations between the Han and the Hungarians, but also laid the foundation for peace and co-prosperity between the two countries.
In that turbulent era, Wang Zhaojun's marriage undoubtedly won the Han Dynasty a precious time of peace, allowing the Han Dynasty to recuperate and grow.
At the same time, Wang Zhaojun's marriage also promoted cultural exchanges between Han and Hungary. She not only brought the advanced culture of the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu, but also brought the customs and habits of the Xiongnu back to the Han Dynasty.
This kind of cultural exchange and integration made the relationship between Han and Hungary closer, and also laid the foundation for later national integration.
Wang Zhaojun's story is a deeply touching legend. She has won people's respect and praise for her beauty and wisdom, and has faced the challenges of fate with tenacity and courage.
The poem "Yonghuai Monuments: Part III" not only made me feel the vicissitudes of history and the impermanence of life, but also let me see the extraordinary values of a woman.
Self-esteem and self-love, and then a life outlook of great love
A young girl in the flower season should enjoy the leisure and happiness that belongs to her little daughter, but the high palace walls and cold palace people cut off her freedom.
Maybe Zhaojun hated, resented, and melancholy, but she never gave up her self-esteem and self-love.
She understands that the gears of fate are in her own hands, and only by loving herself can there be hope for the future.
In the face of imperial power, she will not bribe painters like other palace maids, and she refuses to play the pipa without fear of authority.
It is precisely because of her perseverance and grace that she can stand tall in the face of adversity and shine her own light in the midst of difficulties.
Good love is a concept of marriage that you have to strive for
Hearing that the king of the Huns came to ask for marriage, all the palace maids were frightened.
However, when everyone chose to flee, Wang Zhaojun stood up.
She knows this:
Destiny must be changed by oneself, and love must be fought for by oneself.
In marriage, Wang Zhaojun is not squeamish, he follows the customs of the villagers, and his husband sings with his wife.
Eating beef, drinking goat's milk, sleeping in a felt tent, these completely different living customs can be adapted to Wang Zhaojun.
In addition, Wang Zhaojun knows how to manage marriage.
In private, she and Huhan Evil Shan Yu are like a pair of playmates, riding horses and shooting arrows on the grassland, rubbing horses and whipping;
In her heart, she knows her mission very well, to maintain peace between Hu and Han, and to bring peace to the people of the Han Dynasty.
This weak woman, who is alone in a foreign land, really did it.
After Zhaojun came out of the fortress, "the border city was closed, the cattle and horses were wild, there was no dog barking police in the third world, and Li Shu forgot to fight the battle", showing a thriving peaceful scene.
epilogue
In this world, there are many beautiful women, but few can be remembered.
Some women, who only have beauty and no character, end up living as a "curse";
Some women, with the help of beauty, grow bravely, and eventually live as "legends".
May all women in the world be strong in their hearts and live their legendary lives!
