The land of Sanmiao has a long history since the Spring and Autumn Chu, and has formed a long-lasting literary style since the Spring and Autumn Quzi, and the Huxiang culture born in the Xiangjiang River Basin has also formed the Yuelu cultural vein of two thousand years.
Located in Hunan, south of Dongting Lake, Hunan is a brilliant person, and while a large number of popular figures have emerged, they also have the reputation of "Furong Country".
Huxiang beauty, well-known in the world, even if you look at the literary and art circle, still brilliant stars, this time, Xiaobian will take everyone to inventory, eight beautiful women from Hunan, each of them is a household name, the experience is legendary.
01. Li Guyi, Li Guyi of the Spring Festival Gala of Flowing Water
Li Guyi, whose ancestral home is Changsha, Hunan Province, is not a professional singer, on the contrary, she graduated from the Dance Department of Hunan Provincial Academy of Arts and was an actress in the Hunan Provincial Flower Drum Drama Theater in her early years.
As a flower drum actor, Li Guyi won the Outstanding Performance Awards of Hunan Province and Five Provinces of Central and Southern China in 1964 and 1965 for "Supplementing the Pot".
It was not until 1974 that Li Guyi passed the exam three times before he was successfully admitted to the Central Orchestra and served as a soloist.
In 1979, Li Guyi released the song "Nostalgia", which became an episode of the TV scenery film "Legend of the Three Gorges" at that time.
However, although the song "Nostalgia" was popular all over the country as soon as it was released, due to the aesthetic and other environmental influences at that time, Li Guyi's innovative singing method was resisted by the professional field.
It was not until 1983, with the vote of thousands of people, that "Nostalgia", which had been banned for four years, was able to sound on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
It is worth mentioning that that year, Li Guyi sang seven songs on the stage in one breath, which can be said to occupy half of the Spring Festival Gala that year.
By 1984, Li Guyi sang "Unforgettable Tonight" on the spring evening, and so far, this song has almost become the finale of the Spring Festival Gala.
And Li Guyi also appeared in front of the public with this song again and again, and many viewers also joked, it was really "the Spring Festival Gala of flowing water, the iron Li Guyi." ”
However, Li Guyi's star path has not always been smooth.
In 1991, a report in the Sound Screen Weekly pointed out that the 47-year-old Li Guyi had a rumor that his apprentice Wei Wei had AIDS.
This matter caused great heated discussion at that time, which not only greatly reduced Wei Wei's career, but also had a serious impact on Li Guyi's reputation.
Subsequently, in order to prove his innocence, Li Guyi held more than forty press conferences in Beijing, and then hired a lawyer to take the rumor-mongers to court with the idea that even if the family was ruined.
In the end, Li Guyi won the lawsuit with difficulty, and the Sound Screen Weekly and the original author were ordered to apologize to Li Guyi, which was also known as the "first case in the Chinese music scene" at the time.
As for the apprentice Wei Wei, the master and apprentice had not been in contact for ten years, and only later did they finally reconcile as before.
In terms of emotional experience, Li Guyi once had a short marriage with his four-year-old mentor Jin Tielin, but finally regretted the divorce because of differences.
Later, Li Guyi married Xiao Zhuoneng, who had admired her for a long time, and the couple had been married for decades, and their feelings were very deep.
Unfortunately, on May 29 last year, 78-year-old Xiao Zhuoneng died of illness, and Li Guyi lost his beloved...
Today, the 76-year-old teacher Li Guyi is still the "evergreen tree" of the Spring Festival Gala, and listening to Li Guyi's singing every year for the New Year has also become a habit of the vast majority of the audience.

Before joining Hunan Satellite TV, Li Xiang had a brief internship experience at Beijing Television and CCTV, but she was limited by her hosting style, and finally decided to join Hunan Satellite TV and became the host of "Happy Base Camp" in 1997.
At the beginning of her hosting career, Li Xiang was different from most of her peers, and her work focused on music and acting careers, including the single "Give Me Fresh", the TV series "Fast Mouth Li Cuilian" and "Four Famous Catches", all of which were far more famous than the hosting career.

08. Qu Ying, the best supermodel in her acting career
Qu Ying was born in an artistic family in Changde, Hunan Province, his father worked as an actor in the Hunan Provincial Flower Drum Theater Troupe, and his mother was a film and television actor.
Qu Ying grew up with the artistic talent given by her parents, and after graduating from the Hunan Provincial Art School, she was assigned to the Hunan Provincial Repertory Theatre as an actor.
However, Qu Ying, who is 175cm tall, is difficult to find male actors to cooperate with in the troupe, so she began to try to shoot advertisements and film and television dramas, and in 1990, the 19-year-old Qu Ying was favored by the leaders of the Beijing costume performance team, and Qu Ying has since entered the modeling industry.
In 1991, Qu Ying won the second runner-up of the second China Top Ten Supermodels in the China Selection Contest of the American Supermodel Competition, and in the same year, she also served as the heroine of the movie "Don't Ask Me Where I Came From", which became a hit in the entertainment industry.

Because the personal career plan has not been clear, Qu Ying has gradually lost her fame after the 21st century, and her professionalism is not strong, and to this day, Qu Ying has long been forgotten.
After experiencing two failed relationships of Luo Zhongxu and Li Yapeng, Qu Ying also lost her desire for marriage for a while, and then she and Zhang Yadong fell in love for many years and ended up breaking up in 2016.
Nowadays, Qu Ying and her boyfriend outside the circle have been in low-key love for many years, and the two have also been photographed in the same frame many times, it is reported that Qu Ying's current boyfriend has had a marriage and has a daughter, but Qu Ying does not mind being a "stepmother" at all, still enjoying the nourishment of love.
Not long ago, Qu Ying took a recent photo, perennial maintenance of exercise habits she still has a proud good figure at the age of 50, the skin is also a healthy wheat color, obviously, such a calm and simple life, but also Qu Ying has been pursuing.
Looking back at these eight beauties who came out of Hunan, each of them has a very legendary experience, and has exported their own unique culture and story to the literary and art circles.
Perhaps, the years have left traces on their faces, but I also believe that even if the sun and the moon change, they will still be remembered by countless people.
