When it comes to Lu You, most people will definitely think of the poignant and mournful love song "Pluto Phoenix", and then think of his love with his cousin Tang Wan. This kind of love story of the "talented and beautiful person" model will be passed on as a good story, but if there is no good result in love, and then meet the talented son is also filial piety, you can't help but leave a lament of "the east wind is evil, the joy is thin". Lu You and Tang Wan's love is like this.
Tang Wan is the daughter of Lu You's uncle, naturally a green plum bamboo horse, two small no guesses. Both are good at poetry, often using poetry to pour out soft intestines, flowers before and after the moon, chanting poems against each other, singing and harmonizing with each other, and their eyebrows are full of happiness and harmony.
The parents of the two families also thought that they were a pair created in heaven and earth, so they used a beautiful phoenix as a souvenir and booked this family affair for them.
Twenty-year-old Lu You, married to a beloved woman, loves and knows each other, ear to ear, such a marriage should be very perfect. However, Lu You's mother became more and more unkind to this daughter-in-law, and slowly did not give Tang Wan a good look, and sometimes openly criticized Tang Wan.
Tang Huan is everyone's bridesmaid, knowledgeable and filial, respectful and filial to the elders, gentle and considerate to her husband, there is nothing wrong with being picky. But Lu You's mother just wanted to beat the Mandarin Duck, break up their husband and wife, and force Lu You to leave Tang Huan with a letter of suspension.
There is a lot of speculation as to why Lu Mu forced her son to divorce his wife. First, the fault is that their relationship is too intimate. The newlywed Yan'er's little two mouths like to show affection, get tired of being together every day, and write boudoir poems to spread to the outside world. Second, Tang Huan was childless. There are three filial pieties, no queen is greater, it is estimated that Lu You's mother is anxious to hold her grandson. Third, it is related to the future of Lu You's meritorious name.
Before getting married, Lu You had already taken the imperial examination twice, but both times he failed the list. Because Lu You was the main war faction supporting the Northern Expedition against Jin, he opposed partial peace and peace, and was suppressed by the traitor Qin Juniper. Lu's mother believed that her son was indulging in the love of husband and wife and had lost his ambition to serve the country, and had no intention of pursuing a career, so she forcibly forced her son to divorce his wife.
Lu You could not get rid of the restraints of etiquette, but their husband and wife were deeply in love, so he secretly rented a courtyard outside and settled Tang Huan, and the two lived away from the Lu family in the world of two people. However, he was soon discovered by Lu Mu, and Lu You knew that the matter was defeated, so he had to send Tang Huan back to his mother's house, and the two cried bitterly goodbye.
After that, Lu Mu arranged for Lu You to marry another meek Wang, and Tang Wan was also arranged by her family to marry Zhao Shicheng, a royal relative, and the love between the two of them was completely cut off at this moment. The marriage lasted only about two years.

After Lu You and Tang Huan separated, they were not necessarily happy. Lu You put all his mind on studying and reading, and after Experiencing emotional setbacks, Tang Wan met Zhao Shicheng, who cared for her, and the broken wounded heart was slowly healed. One is different and two wide, but the unforgettable love between the two people, how can it be easily abandoned, easily put down?
After the failure of the third scientific expedition, the thirty-one-year-old Lu You went to the Shen Garden near his hometown to relax his mind, and did not think that at this time, he met Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng, who were talking and laughing. At this moment, both of them froze, their eyes facing each other, and they didn't know how to open their mouths in a thousand words.
Both of them understood that the passage of time could not wipe away the thoughts and entanglements of each other. In such a very embarrassing scene, Zhao Shicheng first broke the silence, and after three words and two polite words, he took Tang Huan and resigned.
At this moment, Lu You did not return to God for half a day, and a book boy with wine and vegetables was given to him, saying that it was sent by Tang Huan. For Lu You, this is almost like a dream, the dream woke up nothing, he sighed, raised a glass of wine and drank it all, a thousand things, all kinds of feelings, all kinds of feelings, rushed to the heart, so he raised his pen and inscribed a "Phoenix" on the powder wall.
Red crispy hands, yellow vine wine, full of spring color palace wall willows. The east wind is evil, the joy is thin, a cup of sorrow, and a few years away from the rope. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Spring is still the same, people are empty and thin, and the tear marks are red and silky. Peach blossoms fall, idle pond pavilion, although the mountain league is there, the Jinshu is difficult to trust. Mo, Mo, Mo.
Seeing his ex again, Tang Huan found that his heart always remained there with Lu You. After this word spread, Tang Wan yiyun and a que "Phoenix", even if this que word does not really belong to Tang Wan's work, but its word by word is not a bloody and tearful lyrics, all of which write Tang Wan's sadness, loneliness and thoughts, and it is sad and mournful, which makes people sigh endlessly.
The world is thin, people are evil, and the rain sends dusk flowers to fall easily. Xiao Feng dried, tears were broken, he wanted to write his heart, and he was slanted in a monologue. Hard, hard, hard.
People are in their own right, today is not yesterday, and the sick soul looks like a swing rope. The horns are cold, the night is dark, afraid of people asking questions, and the tears are happy. Conceal, conceal, conceal.

About a year later, Tang Huan died of illness. Lu You and Tang Wan, the love affair of this life, ended here, from love and separation to reunion, fate always likes to play tricks on lovers. Under that feudal dynasty, there could be no perfect love.
If he had disobeyed his mother's wishes, Lu You would have been saddled with the infamy of filial piety, and there would be no more days in his life, so how could he realize the great ambition of serving the motherland. Leaving his children behind and abiding by traditional rituals was the path he had to take.
For the sake of love, there are many good stories about Ning Yu broken, such as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, both martyred and died, such as Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, one sad and died, one became a monk, such as Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi, also died of martyrdom... Stepping out of these examples in literature, the reality is that no man in Chinese history has bravely pursued love at all costs, and they are unwilling to bear the insult of infidelity and filial piety.
After a long time, the sixty-eight-year-old Lu You, and then visited Shen Garden, which is already a thing and a person, looking at the "Phoenix" on the wall, the feeling of longing was born, and the inscription poem "Yuji Temple NanShi has Shen's Small Garden":
Maple leaves are yellow, and Heyang is sad and timid about the new frost.
Lin Ting felt the old empty looking back, Quan Lu by whom to say broken intestines?
The old theme of the bad wall is desert, and the broken clouds are dreamy.
The delusions of the years have been eliminated, and the incense is returned to the niches.
At the age of seventy-five, Tang Huan passed away nearly forty years ago, revisited Shen Garden, and composed two poems of "Shen Garden":
One
The city's oblique sun paints horn mourning, and Shen Garden is not a restoration of the old pond platform.
The spring wave green under the sad bridge was once a shocking photo.
Second
The dream broke the incense for forty years, and Shen Yuan Liu did not blow the cotton.
This body is like a mountain of soil, and it is like hanging a trace.
Eighty-one years old, dreaming of visiting Shen Garden. And wake up, sigh. Composed the poem "Sleepwalking in Shen's Garden in the Twilight of the Year":
The road near the south of the city is already afraid to go, and Shen Jiayuan is even more hurt.
Fragrant wear guest sleeve plum blossom in, green dip temple bridge spring aquatic.
The small stranger in the south of the city is in the spring again, only to see plum blossoms and no one.
The jade bone has long been sinking into the soil, and the ink marks are still locked in the dust between the walls.
At the age of eighty-four, Lu You ignored his old age and infirmity and visited Shen Garden again. Composed the poem "Spring Tour":
The flowers in Shen's home are like brocade, and half of them are the ones who knew and released the weng in that year.
It is also the beauty that will eventually make the soil, and the dream is too hurried!
Visiting Shen Garden three times, the past dreams are like yesterday, and the beauty has long gone, alone and sad. After this year, Lu You passed away with unswerving love and longing for Tang Wan, and with unswerving love for the country. Lu You's life, iron blood, full of enthusiasm, the world, tenderness, a deep love, a lifetime of love only one person.
Tang Huan, as his first love and first wife, was the love of Lu You's life. Who accompanied him through more than fifty years of ups and downs, and raised his second wife Wang Shi? Lu You wrote more than 9,000 poems, of which there was no love poem written to the Wang family, until after the death of the Wang family, he wrote a mourning poem, entitled "Self-Injury", but he expressed not the sadness after the death of his wife but the sigh of old age.
Lu You and the Wang clan only have marriage, no love, and the Wang clan is the wife who accompanies him all his life, not the lover. And Lu You's love for Tang Wan has reached the point where he can't hide and doesn't want to hide, Tang Wan is all his love memories, and Shen Yuan has become the only sustenance of his love world. Only in Shen Garden could he let go of his thoughts about Tang Huan and retrieve the bits and pieces of their love for that year.
How deep is the love? The love of this life is unswerving. It is not difficult to fall in love with someone, but it is a lifelong unwavering love. The eighty-five-year-old man, when he was about to die, had nothing but the strongest and deepest love—love and wishes for the country, love and thoughts for Tang Huan. Tang Huan was always in Lu You's heart.
May all the affection in the world no longer be betrayed, and may the deep affection no longer be in vain.
