From Master Li to Xie Yuying, from Liang Hongyu to Yuwen Rouniang, plus the piano exercises with red faces and thin lives. The Song Dynasty was indeed a cultural and open and prosperous dynasty, and no other dynasty had so many talented women, and even on the occasion of the wind and moon, there were many literary female lyricists.
Qincao's real name is Cai Yunying, and Qincao is her stage name. These two words come from the book "Qin Cao" by the Eastern Han Dynasty literary artist, who dared to use qin cao as the name, and her talent and learning were extraordinary. What is lamentable is not only that she has no connection with Su Shi, but also that she is sad that her red face and thin life have ended up depressed when she was only 25 years old.

<h1>First, the cardamom years became a trick, and the rhyme became famous for a while</h1>
Born around 1073, Qin Cao was the daughter of an official, and was a Miss Qianjin of the scholar class. However, at the age of 13, he was raided, his father was arrested due to a court case, and his mother died of illness soon after being angry. Qincao, who had nothing to rely on, became a prostitute in a brothel in Hangzhou, but Qincao was talented, talented, and did not sell herself, which was very popular in Hangzhou.
One day when Qin Cao was sixteen years old, someone recited Qin Guan's "Man Ting Fang Shan Mo Wei Yun" by the West Lake, Qin Guan was a good friend of Su Dongpo, and this song was affectionate and charming. But the man sang "Painting the Corner Sound Breaking the Door" into "Painting the Corner Sound Breaking the Oblique Sun". Qin Cao is embarrassed to say that the guest sings the wrong word, and it is good to say that it is wrong, although this sentence is sung wrong, but the meaning of the word is more profound.

The man listened to the great joy and said that the Jiuwen Piano girl was talented, and since the singing was wrong and did not change the mood of the original word, it was better to use this rhyme foot to change the word again. Although Qin Cao felt a little embarrassed, he still used a pen to change a new song "Man Ting Fang" on the paper. The new word change is not large, but in the case of changing the rhyme, the original word's mood and style are maintained, and the artistic achievement of the original word is not lowered in the slightest, which makes onlookers marvel.
The Song Dynasty was originally a dynasty with a prosperous literary style, and the cultural popularity was very high, so many prostitutes were able to compete with the literati and poetry. The prostitutes whose talent did not let the eyebrows be more popular, and after the change of words, the reputation of the piano exercise became more prominent, attracting the appreciation of many literati. Soon, Su Shi, who was serving as the prefect of Hangzhou at the time, was also attracted to Qin Cao, and the two saw each other as they were, and they became confidants.
<h1>Second, the lake did the right edge of the dust, cut the hair for the empty door of ni</h1>
The Song Dynasty's "Po House Compilation" records the reasons for qinfu's renunciation. In 1089 AD, after the 16-year-old Qincao and the 52-year-old Su Shi met, one day Su Shi and Qincao went boating on the West Lake together, Su Shi proposed that he be the elder himself, let Qincao try to participate in Zen, Qincao smiled and agreed.

Su Shi asked, "What is the view in the lake?" Qin Cao replied, "The sunset and the lone bird fly together, and the autumn water is always the same color." ”
Su Shi asked, "What is a Jingzhong person?" Qin Cao replied, "The skirt drags six pieces of Xiaoxiang water, and the sideburns hold a section of clouds on Wushan Mountain." ”
Su Shi asked again, "What is a favorite?" Qin Cao replied, "Follow him Yang Xueshi, kill Bao and join the army." This means that his talent is much higher than that of Yang Riyan and Bao Zhao, who joined the army.
Su Shi finally asked, "So what is the matter?" "Even so, what can be done?" This sentence has the question of how to live after the piano exercise, and you can't stay in a brothel all your life, right? Qin Cao remembered his miserable life and lowered his head and did not speak.
Su Shi replied, "Kurama is snubbed in front of the door, and the boss is married as a merchant's wife." Su Shi used the fate of the official prostitute in Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" to persuade Qin Cao to be good as soon as possible. But Qin Cao suddenly woke up, and she immediately sang a song to thank Su Shi for waking herself up, saying that she was not willing to live a miserable life after The Good Queen, nor a happy life after the Good Queen, so it was better to become a monk and serve the Buddha.
Su Shi saw that Qin Cao had made up his mind, so he redeemed herself and fell into exile. Since then, Qin cao has cut his hair and become a nun and began his spiritual life in Linglong Mountain.
The Green Lantern Ancient Buddha often accompanied him, and he practiced the dust edge in the world.
<h1>Third, although people have not broken their feelings for the Buddha, their hearts are depressed on the eastern slope</h1>
It is said that Master Hongyi Li Shutong is a "half-life red dust and half-world monk", and qincao is also like this, but qincao's fate is more tragic, and life is more short. In the two years after Qincao had just left home, Su Shi, Buddha Yin, Huang Tingjian and others often visited her in Linglong Mountain. Accompanied by several people tasting piano and poetry, Qin Cao is not alone.
Two years later, in 1091, Su Shi was first transferred back to the capital, and in the next two years, he changed his position three times due to political disagreements. In 1094, Su Shixian was demoted to the post of deputy envoy of the Ningyuan Army, and in 1097 he was demoted to the desolate Danzhou. In the Song Dynasty, exile from Danzhou was almost a punishment second only to capital offenses. Qin Cao, who was already worried about Su Shi, was discouraged when he heard the news, and his heart was sad, and he died soon after.

Su Shi, who was already in a flower armor, wept behind the wall when he learned of Qin Cao's death, saying that he had killed him. When Su Shi and Qin Cao were participating in Zen, they wanted him to follow him from Liang, but considering the age gap between the two, neither of them crossed that hurdle. If Su Shi, like his good friend Zhang Xian, could still have the courage to take a concubine in his eighties, maybe Qin Cao would not have died early.
In the two years that Qincao had just become a monk, he was able to meet with Su Shi often, and he thought that he must be happy. When Su Shi was transferred away from Hangzhou, looking at the distant traces, Qin Cao's heart had slowly closed, and she was only left with green lanterns as a companion in the future. However, at this time, Qin Cao was not completely desperate, she studied Buddhism in the nunnery on Linglong Mountain, and occasionally she could get a little news from Su Shi, which was enough for her.
When she learned that Su Shi was relegated to Danzhou, it was the most desperate moment in her heart, and the final depression was already the inevitable end. A few years later, After Being Transferred from Danzhou, Su Shi returned to Linglong Mountain to reburiage his confidant and personally wrote a tombstone as a souvenir.
<h1>IV. Conclusion:</h1>
It is said that during the Republic of China period, Pan Guangdan, Lin Yutang and Yu Dafu visited Linglong Mountain together, and the three of them searched through the "Lin'an County Chronicle" and did not find the story of Qin cao, so they were very angry. Yu Dafu left a poem in front of Qincao's tomb to show his protest: "The mountain is both exquisite and clear, Dongpo once visited Yunying, how to eight volumes of Lin'an Zhi, do not remember a love affair with Qincao!" ”
Qin Cao's life is tragic, although there is a happy life of a short relationship with Su Shi, but the two did not break through the shackles of the world, but accelerated the early death of Qin Cao. Although the life of Qin Cao was short, he could not hide his talent and temperament in the slightest, and the "Bu Suanzi" she left behind during the cultivation of Linglong Mountain became his last masterpiece.
The deeds of Qin cao have also been sung, the Yuan Dynasty's "Meishan Show" and "Red Lotus Debt" are both opera works created based on Qin Cao as the story model, and the story of her and Su Shi Sanchan has also been circulated in folk tales and in the ink of the literati with the allusion of "Qin Cao Sanzong".
