Learn the sword light, sharp and hidden.
To gain merit and fame, why be a husband.
One of the characters that are easy to draw out in the recent popular game "Jiangnan Hundred Views" is Nie Yinniang. Many people may not be familiar with this character, such as Wu Zetian, Li Shishi, Bai Suzhen, etc., what kind of character is Nie Yinniang? Mr. Ma Weidu also mentioned this character in the program, Nie Yinniang is a virtual character in the "Legend" written by Pei Chun in the Tang Dynasty, experiencing legendary fantasy, and after watching it, she is happy and vivid.
The following vernacular translation of Pei's Nie Yinniang:
Nie Yinniang was the beloved daughter of Nie Feng, a subordinate of Tian Ji'an under Wei Bojie during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang. When he was ten years old, he was kidnapped by a bhikshuni, taught him strange martial arts such as light skills, swordplay, and covert actions, and ordered him to assassinate unrighteous people, which is said to be able to stab people in the daytime, and no one can see them, and he was sent back to Wei after five years.
After Nie Feng learned of his daughter's experience, his heart was afraid. After that, the hidden lady often went out at night, and only returned at dawn, and her father did not dare to ask questions. One day, a mirror-grinding teenager passed in front of the Nie family's door, and Yin Niang told her father that she wanted to marry him, and her father immediately agreed, so she became a parent. After Nie Feng's death, Jiedu made Tian Ji'an aware of The Hidden Lady's deeds and hired her as his right and left hand. During the reign of Emperor Xianzong, Tian Ji'an and Chen Xujiedu made liu Chang's relations discordant, so he sent Hermit to Xuzhou to assassinate Liu Changyi. Liu Changyi was proficient in divination and had special abilities, so he calculated that the hidden lady was coming, and sent someone to wait outside the city in advance. Yin Niang was impressed by this, so she and her husband switched to Liu Chang's account. Tian Ji'an was not reconciled, so he sent "Jingjing'er" to assassinate Yinniang and Liu Changyi, but was killed by Yinniang instead. Later, he sent the high-ranking people "Empty Space" to come, and The Hidden Lady knew that she was invincible, but asked Liu Chang to surround the jade stone around her neck, and she herself transformed into a mosquito and hid. "Empty Space" had a very high self-esteem, and when he struck Liu Changyi's neck without success, he drifted away. Since then, Liu Changyi has been unusually courteous to the Hermit Couple.
In the eighth year of Yuan He (813), Liu Chang left the domain and served in the imperial court. Yin Niang asked Liu Shi to give her husband a position and traveled all over the world herself. When Liu Changyi died, Yinniang rode a donkey to the capital and left after crying in front of Liu's spirit. During the reign of Emperor Wenzong of Tang, Liu Zhong, the son of Liu Chang, was appointed as the Assassin of Lingzhou, and when he went to office, he met Yinniang on the Sichuan Boardwalk, and her appearance was still the same as in the past. She told Liu Zhong: "You will have a great disaster, and it is not appropriate to come here." He took out a pill and gave it to Liu Zhong to eat, and said: "Next year, as soon as possible, abandon the official and move back to Luoyang, in order to get rid of the disaster, my medicine can only ensure that you have no worries within a year." Liu Zhong didn't quite believe it, but gave Yin Niang some silk, but Yin Niang didn't accept it, and she floated away, like a god. A year later, Liu Zhong did not resign his post and died in Lingzhou. No one has ever seen the Hidden Lady again.
—The Legend of Pei Chun The Legend of the Tang Dynasty—
"The Legend of Pei Yong" is a collection of short stories by Pei Chun at the end of the Tang Dynasty, its original name was "Legend", and posterity is mostly called "The Legend of Pei Jun", of which the famous novels such as "Nie Yinniang" and "Kunlun Nu" have various literary styles, such as gods, heroes, romance, etc.
"Legend" means a strange story, the "strange" of the legend lies in the storyline, characters, emotions or style, after the Song Dynasty, this kind of literary short stories are called "legend", and later in order to distinguish from the "legend" in the drama, it is also called the Legend of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was a legendary era, with women like Wuhou appearing. There are objective environmental influences of it. The Tang Dynasty always had a strong northern nomadic atmosphere. The fierceness and bravery of women, which can be seen everywhere among the northern nomads, can also be seen everywhere in the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was also an era of aristocracy, and literary literacy was more valued than the Confucian ethics, so the Tang Dynasty was also an era from which ideological constraints were relatively weak. This era provided an environment in which women could move freely. Empress Wu was able to take advantage of such circumstances and conditions to reach the peak of power, while Nie Yinniang assassinated in the people's rebellion, facing Wuhou in two directions.
Therefore, in the Hundred Views of Jiangnan, the introduction of Nie Yinniang's character is as follows:
At the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Wharf, cargo ships and passenger ships come in and out, so it is not lively.
Nie Yinniang's figure just appeared, and the boat boss smiled and greeted, "Yinniang has come to pick up your sister again?"
Nie Yinniang also responded with a smile, "Yeah, maybe it was delayed when taking the land route." My sister is delicate and can't eat on long journeys."
I heard that there was a passenger ship from the Lu Canal later today, and your sister might be in it.
Nie Yinniang nodded and stood in the most conspicuous position on the dock, looking ahead.
Suddenly, there was a rumble in the sky, and then the rain poured down, and people scattered in all directions, busy avoiding the rain.
Only Nie Yinniang remained motionless, allowing the rain to pour all over her body, looking like a statue from a distance.
Everyone sighed, "Nie Yatou is beautiful, but it's a pity that she is a fool."
The captain of the ship said gently, "Sisterhood is deep." Who knows if that sister was made up by her, it's been a year, she comes every day, and she doesn't follow her sister."
As we were talking, a boat appeared on the horizon, and it was the same boat from the Lu Canal.
Nie Yinniang clenched her fists nervously, her lips tightly closed, and stared at the passengers disembarking the ship.
The first one to come out is not, the second one is not... Until the last traveler walked out.
The light in Nie Yinniang's eyes was slowly disappearing, and the person she wanted to pick up did not come today.
She took a hard breath to keep the tears from falling, and slowly turned around, ready to leave.
The people who saw this scene from a distance could not bear it and no longer said bad things about her.
Suddenly a crisp voice sounded, "Hidden Lady."
Nie Yinniang smiled at once, and she opened her arms and threw herself into the arms of the person who spoke: "Sister! How did you get here?"
"It's too late to inspect the people's customs and appease the people all the way."
The people who heard the conversation between the two widened their eyes and narrowed their eyes: "Her sister... Or a member of the imperial court?"
Between the moments, Nie Yinniang had already dragged the woman to the front of everyone, "This is my righteous sister Wu Zetian."
"Wu Zetian?" Is that empress dowager Wu Zetian?"
Nie Yinniang nodded, "Exactly."
"What did she come to Gangnam for?"
"Come and be emperor"
—Three completely free women who do not follow—
The legendary Nie Yinniang revealed a complete freedom, a woman's repression and restriction, which could not be found in Nie Yinniang. The ancients paid attention to women from three from four virtues, the female heroine Nie Yinniang had three non-conformity, not from the father, not from the husband, not from the son, is a completely free woman, although the Tang Dynasty women are relatively free, but the portrayal of her in the novel is also unique. After Nie Yinniang was sent home by her master, her father was jealous of her experience, and she did not return all night, and her father did not dare to ask.
At the age of marriage, Nie Yinniang's husband jun is a mirror-grinding teenager of her own choice, and her ability must be inferior to hers, but Nie Yinniang has chosen such a common man, because she is strong enough to rely on her husband Jun. She is the queen of marriage, her husband is her beloved, and it is good enough to be with her when she needs marriage.
Nie Yinniang is a professional heroine, the same as the Tang legend, the beautiful fox demon Gan in "The Biography of Ren", the dragon girl with great supernatural powers in "The Biography of Liu Yi" endures humiliation, and the extraordinary heroine in "Red Line" runs to serve her life, they are all to repay men. Only Nie Yinniang was completely free, and the worldly concepts of men and women and respect and inferiority were useless to her. The good birds chose trees to live in, and she thought that the weibo chief was faint and incompetent, so she decisively left her post; she thought that Liu Changyi could appreciate her, and with the grace of knowing, she defected to Liu Changyi. You trust me, provide me with the right position, let me give full play to my talents, and I will serve you wholeheartedly. This is the relationship between the employer and the employee, not the relationship between the benefactor and the doorman. She can come and go whenever she wants, and she doesn't owe anyone or is blackmailed and controlled by anyone. Free like the wind.
