The poignant story of ancient women - the legend of Bai Jie Niangniang

Speaking of all things in my own language, my name is Jiang Musan, call me three or old Jiang.

This morning, when I saw an American female reporter interview the streets of Afghanistan, she said a sentence: "They asked me to stand on the side because I am a woman." ”

Looking at the helpless, sad expression of the female reporter, Old Ginger was incomparably sympathetic to the women born in Afghanistan.

There is a book called "Brilliant Thousand Suns" recommended to everyone, after reading it you will know what kind of patience you need to endure as a woman to survive in this country that has suffered from war, hunger, disease and discrimination against women.

Everything is the original sin of history, and Old Ginger likes to use this sentence.

Compared with Afghan women, our ancient women have to endure more than that, and the 25th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, which has just passed, is the torch festival of the Bai people in China.

Behind the Torch Festival is the twisty story of a woman's attempted revenge.

The above is the content of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, and we began to joke about this legend story in the usual style of Old Ginger.

The story takes place in the period of the "Six Edicts of Dali", that is, the period of the early Tang Dynasty in our Central Plains.

The Six Commandments were the six forces that lived on the Erhai Sea at that time, and they all belonged to the Bai people, namely: the Mengwei (sui) Zhao, the Yue Analysis Zhao, the Lang Qiong Zhao, the Teng (Teng) Zhao (Dan) Zhao, the Shi Lang Zhao, and the Mengshe Zhao.

These names are very awkward, you don't have to remember, because it is not important, let's say that the protagonist of today's story is the queen of the Qiao Zhao: the story of Lady Bai Jie.

Mrs. Bai Jie is also called Mrs. Bai Jie and Mrs. Charity, and it is obvious that she knows what kind of person she is when she hears the name, hereinafter referred to as Xiao Bai.

It is said that this little white is famous for the famous beauty on the shore of the entire Erhai Lake, how many beauty contests have won the honor of "Miss Erhai", people are not only beautiful, but also the family background is not general, is one of the six edicts of the wave dome lord of the thousand gold, this kind of person is actually common since ancient times, anyway, old Ginger does not have this fate, her status is noble, and later married the boss of the Zhao Zhao, the boss of the Zhao Zhao has money and beauty, which can be described as the peak of recognition. The two were very affectionate.

At that time, the strength of the Mengshe Zhao was very strong, and the heart of the zhao lord Pi Luoge (hereinafter referred to as Lao Pi) to unify the six edicts was known to even the dogs that peed on the ground throughout the Erhai Sea.

Lao Pi also wanted to take down the other five gangs with a hard bow, but if he came hard and caused the five major gangs to unite, then his value was not enough to play.

So Lao Pi didn't think about it, and he thought about it bitterly, and finally one day he had a thought of not having a face.

He let his subordinates build a Songming building with Songming on the Erhai Sea, Songming is a pine branch, people used it for torch lighting at that time, at that time it belonged to one of the few flammable and explosive materials, this behavior is not much different from the current building with honeycomb coal, but at that time people's fire awareness was not good, and the building was not equipped with fire passages.

SongmingLou was built on June 25, just in time to worship the ancestors, Lao Pi invited the five gang bosses to come to Songminglou to make sacrifices and privately wrote that this time he had come to prepare a mysterious program, and then gave a bad smile.

Because at that time, the things that violated the ancestors could not be done, the five gang bosses looked at it, and there was a mysterious program, and they were very interested in their hearts, and they had to go to it, only the boss of the Yue Analysis Commandment regretted missing this party because he was too far away.

Xiao Bai his object is also one of the big guys, the two held a small meeting before leaving, Xiao Bai felt that this matter is not simple, in her opinion this is equivalent to going to the gunpowder factory to smoke basically and find death is no different, but her object feels that she has a good relationship with the old skin, two days ago also went to the Erhai Seashore "Far Away and KTV" Dashing a little, the friendship between the two countries through this erosion is closer, but this matter he can not say to Xiao Bai, the heart is looking forward to the mysterious program of the ancestor worship, thinking of this heart is beautiful.

So I told Xiao Bai: "Ancestor worship is a big thing, I have to go, you old ladies will have less opinions, honestly stay at home." Xiao Bai saw that he did not move his husband, and with tearful eyes gave his bracelet to his husband: "Take this well, and when you are roasted, I will use this to collect the body for you." Looking at her husband's eyes at this point is like looking at a dead man.

So the ancestor worship activity began, Lao Pi first warmly congratulated several big guys, and said that the mystery program will start as soon as possible, lao Pi's lust even the pigs in the pigsty know, and everyone is looking forward to waiting for the mysterious program of Lao Pi.

When he was about to worship his ancestors, Lao Pi suddenly interrupted: "Wait, I will go to the toilet." "The crowd lit cigarettes and blew at each other while he was waiting, and they didn't know whether the last building was lit by cigarette butts or the fire that Lao Pi had set underneath, but in the end a merciless fire directly took everyone away.

Xiao Bai learned the news of the fire at home, and quickly went to the front line of rescue, but the speed of transportation was limited at that time, and when she got there, the smoke of Songming Building was extinguished, Xiao Bai looked at the scene in front of her and thought of the happy life with her husband in her mind, and she was suddenly infinitely sad, she had long anticipated the ending, but she could not change all this.

Crazy, she rushed up to the ruins, pulled the charcoal wood apart with her hands, both hands were charred with the charcoal with residual warmth, she endured great pain and finally found the bracelet in the ruins, and recognized her husband who had been roasted for eight minutes.

At this time, Xiao Bai estimated that he had forgotten that his father was also the lord of the edict and was also under the ruins. After Xiao Bai finished picking up her husband, she stopped picking up.

This incident alarmed the old pi who opened a party at home, although his purpose was achieved, but he was actually not happy as expected, thinking of the brothers who had died, remembering the happy past of going in and out of the luxury nightclub with her little white husband, the loneliness in his heart could not be said, maybe this is the man's sadness.

He came to the ruins, saw Xiao Bai who was crying with his face covered, sighed, went forward and patted Xiao Bai's shoulder, and said: "Younger sister, let's live in the future, you can rest assured, the eldest brother will not treat you badly." ”

Xiao Bai looked up at him in surprise, his knife-like face was resolute and lonely in the moonlight, but she didn't understand what kind of psychological quality could make Lao Pi say such a thing in such a situation.

But seeing the soldiers gradually surrounding lao Pi, she understood in her heart that she had appeared on the enemy's territory by mistake, and she was afraid that she would not be able to go out without being with him at the moment, so under the repeated weighing in her heart, she understood that from this moment on, revenge had become the main theme of her life, and the handsome man in front of her would become her nemesis for the rest of her life, and now, she decided to deal with it first.

Xiao Bai straightened the hair on her messy sideburns, the wind on the Erhai Sea blew on her slightly haggard and depressed face, a poignant flower bloomed in an instant, and when she looked at the old skin again, the deep hatred had been quietly hidden between the breaths, and a heart-warming smile hung on her face: "Good! She said happily.

Lao Pi was so shocked by her beauty that his soul flew away, and the great sense of happiness was like a strong holy light enveloping him, a blank space of happiness.

Xiao Bai continued, "But brother, although the Wai family is also very impatient, after all, as a wife, the pressure of public opinion still needs to be considered, and some things still need to be done." ”

Lao Pi's heart was already happy to blossom, but on his face was a heavy expression, and he had already practiced his joy and anger: "Aifei please say, how many requirements I meet." ”

Xiao Bai said, "First of all, you have to personally wear a ma dai filial piety and set up a spiritual seat to pay homage to the dead." ”

“OK！”

"I want to send my husband's bones back to my hometown, and you want Dai Xiao to send ten miles."

"There is a problem with the wood.

"Third, on May 7 (thirty-five days before the day of death), you will welcome me from the scenery of the Erhai Sea, and as high as the specifications can be, I will hold a wedding of the century."

"That's a must!" Old Pi's heart has blossomed happily, this matter is not called a thing at all, for many years of not having a face he has long been honored and humiliated, looking at the beauty in front of him, thinking about the days when they will be together in the future, his heart will burst with happiness.

The next day Lao Pi began to work, first set up a spiritual hall to personally organize the sacrifice of the undead under his subordinates, he made this matter even more troublesome, the people of the surrounding ten miles and eight villages came to watch and take pictures and record videos to send circles of friends, there were several Internet celebrities in the gap, while performing a unique rubbing heat, while claiming that they knew a lot of insiders.

For a time, the matter of Lao Pi killing Xiao Bai's husband was already known to everyone, and public opinion reached its peak, but due to Lao Pi's strength, everyone did not dare to say too publicity, and secretly scolded Lao Pi for being mad with small notes.

On the day of the coffin, Lao Pi also obeyed the agreement, and Phi Ma Dai Xiao sent Xiao Bai and the coffin ten miles away.

Xiao Bai silently returned home, along the way she thought a lot, the shadow of the old skin in her heart lingered, as soon as she returned home, she convened a meeting of her husband's former subordinates, the theme of the meeting: the symposium on the plan to defend the ecological homeland to the death, at which she announced that she would swear to die to defend the homeland, and would never let the place change its surname to Pi, which can be described as a response, and the crowd actively engaged in defense under her leadership.

Old Pi is not a fool, after sending away Xiao Bai, he sent a lot of eyeliner to stare at Xiao Bai, and Xiao Bai's matter did not take long to reach Lao Pi's ears, and Lao Pi was furious: "Little ladies, you play Lao Tzu!" So he sent troops to attack.

On the battlefield, the wind is xiaoxiao, Xiaobai stands at the head of the city, and Lao Pi stands under the city.

Lao Pi stared at Xiao Bai: "Why is this so to me?" ”

Xiao Bai stared at the old skin, and gradually pressed the residual shadow in his heart: "Roll the calf."

This protracted battle lasted for nearly a year, which is also a relatively famous defensive battle in history, but it was finally broken by Lao Pi and Xiao Bai was captured.

Lao Pi saw Xiao Bai again, and the resentment in his heart when he saw her chuchu pitiful appearance suddenly disappeared, alas, no matter what you do, I spoil you, and the idea of having a home with her is ignited again, so he sang to Xiao Bai affectionately: "I want to have a home, a place that doesn't need much... ”

Xiao Bai knew that the general trend had gone, the revenge could not be repaid, and he only wanted to die in his heart, but Lao Pi was a domineering president and was very strict with her, and she could only go on a hunger strike when she asked for death.

Lao Pi saw that the increasingly emaciated Xiao Bai was distressed, and seeing that she was going to be a martyr, he quickly sent two carefully selected two women with the most slippery folk lips to plot against Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai, who had been listening to the cross-talk for a few days, also came alive in his heart, and decided to continue to adopt a roundabout revenge strategy: "Now that I have confessed my fate, who does not want to have a home, but I have a request, I still wear filial piety clothes and take a boat with the old skin to Mengshe to become a relative, and if I don't agree to it, I will die." ”

Old Pi listened happily like a child: "Good baby ~" Quickly agreed to come down, so he got the boat and Xiao Bai set off, when he set off, Old Pi saw that Xiao Bai was wearing a paper plain coat, and wondered: "Baby, the silk on our family's good conditions is used as hand paper, what are you wearing a paper coat for?" ”

Xiao Bai said shyly: "Anyway, this dress will be taken off and burned everywhere, how convenient it is to make it with paper, you know!" ”

Lao Pi's eyes lit up: "Understand, understand!" ”

The two of them came to a romantic candlelit dinner on the Erhai Sea, and the wine was not less to drink, but Lao Pi did not know that Xiao Bai hid a pair of scissors in his clothes, just waiting for the right time to give Lao Pi a fatal blow.

Finally, the time came, Lao Pi was half drunk, his eyes squinted and sang to Xiao Bai "Today you are going to marry me", Xiao Bai felt a ripple in his heart, taking advantage of this opportunity to take out the scissors to pierce Lao Pi's brain, Lao Pi was not a fierce general, the reaction was fast enough, this time he was able to dodge the past, this knife was stuck on his shoulder, but the most painful thing at this time was his heart!

He was just about to speak, Xiao Bai was afraid of being caught, he jumped into the water in depth, Lao Pi Qianjun grabbed Xiao Bai's clothes when he was about to speak, but this dress was made of paper, only tore off a hand of shredded paper, just about to speak, Xiao Bai had jumped into the Erhai Sea, Lao Pi just wanted to speak, at this time he was already depressed because he couldn't say anything, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Old Pi felt great pain in his heart, called more than a hundred boats to come and salvage, at night everyone lit up torches, the lights on the lake were bright, and everyone did not work hard for three days and three nights and did not catch anything.

When the news spread, the people praised Xiao Bai's image of a martyr woman, and felt that women should die like this! Death is fierce! For a time, wishful thinking lao pi became the object of tens of thousands of people shouting, public opinion was in a tide, lao pi had no choice but to hide it, and named Xiao Bai a white holy concubine (also known as Ning Beifei). The ancestral hall was sacrificed, and a horizontal plaque of "Iron Thousand Autumns" was also hung.

In order to commemorate the image of Lady Bai Jie's martyr daughter, the Bai people designated the 25th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar as the Torch Festival.

On that day, after the torches were lit, a horse race and a "fire horse" were to be held - a two-section paper horse, and the people stood in the middle and ran while setting off the cannons, which was to commemorate the soldiers who quickly rescued the horses when they burned the Songming Building.

On July 23, villages along the Erhai Sea will hold a sea tour to symbolize the recovery of corpses, expressing the memory of Mrs. Bai Jie.

Bai women also mashed the hydrangea and red dan root and dyed their fingers red to commemorate the fact that Mrs. Bai Jie pointed out the blood when she threw up her husband's bones.

Dali North Gate, Jiutan Temple and other places have also been worshipped as their master for generations.

Ginger has something to say:

This story old Ginger is not very interesting, mainly because Old Ginger is deeply impressed by Mrs. Bai Jie's loyalty and does not want to add too many absurd plots to it, at the same time, Old Jiang also feels sorry for Mrs. Bai Jie in his heart, and the villain Pi Luoge did not get retribution in the end, which also reflects the unfair values of people for women in ancient times: most of the legends about women are miserable, and bad people will not get retribution, because only bad people can live better to sublimate women's misery. And the legends about men are basically perfect, they are all "Count of Monte Cristo"-style revenge, and finally worship the king and become a god.

Why does a woman who has lost her husband have to die? She could have lived happily ever after, but she herself knew that this was impossible for only one reason, and if she really followed Pi Luoge, then she would be ruthlessly trampled on by the cruel morality of the evil feudal society, and her final fate nailed to the pillar of moral shame would not be much better than the end of this story.

Only the story of Mrs. Bai Jie, who hoped to jump off the river, would eventually escape and live an ordinary and happy second half of her life.

Without further ado, in the end, Old Ginger only wants everyone to be equal, and everyone is like a dragon.
