Cai Yan was a famous talented woman in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and she had the "Poem of Sorrow and Indignation" circulated in the world, leaving a strong mark in the history of ancient Chinese literature. She came from a prestigious family, and her father was the famous minister Cai Yong. Her life was a legendary life, but also a bumpy life. She had three marriages in her life, and in these three marriages, she gave her heart, but even her own son could not bring back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Probably because of her life experience, she was able to write a "poem of sorrow and indignation" with bloody words.
Cai Yan has been very intelligent since she was a child, she has inherited her father's good genes, not only has a high literary style, but also writes a good hand, is proficient in musical rhythms, and plays a jiaowei piano to be fascinating. Such a talented woman, if born in the prosperous world, will definitely have a good home. However, she was born at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and due to the turmoil of the times, her father was also a high-ranking official, so she was also involved. After Cai Yong's death, this Jiaowei qin has been accompanying Cai Yan and making her no longer lonely.
Dong Zhuo was a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms, he first entered the capital to take power, when he was in the field, he heard that Cai Yan was a very beautiful and virtuous talented woman, so the first thing after entering Beijing was to make Cai Yong his subordinate, and publicly stated that he liked Cai Yan. Cai Yong did not want his own daughter to fall into Dong Zhuo's hands in this way, so he quickly sent a letter to Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao could lend a helping hand and find a good family to marry Cai Yan first. Cao Cao had also heard of Cai Yan as a person, and he was not sloppy about Cai Yan's marriage, choosing a young man named Wei Zhongdao. This Wei Zhong Daoist family room is also OK, and it is a descendant of Wei Qing.
In fact, Cai Yan was not satisfied with this marriage, she was proud of her talent and height, and she had not heard of Wei Zhongdao. But she did not want to marry Dong Zhuo, so she had to obey the will of her father and Cao Cao. The life of the two after marriage is still very sweet, and the feelings are getting deeper and deeper. However, not long after, Wei Zhongdao fell ill and died, and after Wei Zhongdao's death, the Wei family was very unaccustomed to Cai Yan, believing that Cai Yanke had killed her husband, and therefore sent Cai Yan back to her mother's house. At that time, Cai Yan's mother's family also underwent a major change, and her father was wrongfully killed in prison because he spoke for Dong Zhuo.
In desperation, Cai Yan received a letter from her sister, whose son had just died, and she was very sad in her heart, and she wanted her sister to come and accompany her for a while. What people did not expect was that Cai Yan was just catching up with the Xiongnu. She was favored by the Xiongnu King Zuoxian, gave birth to two sons, and lived in the Xiongnu for fourteen years.
This matter was later learned by Cao Cao, because he admired Cai Yan's talent, so Cao Cao spent a lot of money to redeem Cai Yan. Although she returned to the Central Plains, the two sons she gave birth to could not be brought back, and in this sad and indignant situation, Cai Yan wrote the "Poem of Sorrow and Indignation". In the poem, she recounted in detail her first half of her life experience, crying blood and tears.
After returning to the State of Wei, Cai Yan was ruled by Cao Cao and promised to Dong Qi. Dong Qi was a very careful person, even if there was Cao Cao's marriage, he was still having an affair outside, which made Cao Cao feel very uncomfortable and prepared to cut off Dong Qi's head. However, Cai Yan appeared, and she hoped that Cao Cao would not kill Dong Qi. Dong Qi, who is not immortal, also realizes his mistake and begins to give his heart to Cai Yan. Cai Yan, who has had a rough life, finally got a good home.
