One troubled beauty, two Spring and Autumn overlords. The most tragic beauty in history, the most poignant love in the world. From a mountain wild raccoon yarn girl to a princess of the favored harem, Xi Shi took on the heavy responsibility of restoring the country and fulfilled her mission, making great contributions to the revival of the Yue kingdom. But after the mission was completed, where did Xi Shi go? This issue explores the mystery of Xi Shi's whereabouts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > seclusion</h1>
According to this theory, Xi Shi went into hiding with Fan Li in the Five Lakes. This kind of statement is more popular, on the grounds that Xi Shi and Fan Li were originally lovers, and in order to save the country, the two could only temporarily sacrifice their love. After Xi Shigongcheng returned to China, the two could finally be together. However, Fan Li assisted Gou Jian for decades, and he knew very well that Gou Jian was a person, believing that he could only spend hardships together and could not share happiness, and if he and Xi Shi stayed any longer, it was not certain that one day they might lose their lives, and it was better to retreat bravely. Therefore, on a clear and clear night, he boarded a flat boat with his beloved Xi Shi, changed his name and surname, retired to the rivers and lakes, and disappeared into the smoke and waves.
There is also strong evidence for this statement in many texts. The Eastern Han Dynasty's "Book of Yue Jie" records that: "After Wu, Xi Shi returned to Fan Li and went away with the Pan Five Lakes. The "Record of Wu Di" also records that Fan Li and Xi Shi broke the mirror and went away after the Yue Kingdom broke the Wu. In the Ming Dynasty, Hu Yinglin's "Shaomu Shanfang Pen Cong" and Chen Yaowen's "Zheng Yang" also have similar statements, believing that Xi Shi followed Fan Li to live in seclusion.
In the poems of the ancients, there is no shortage of explicit references to Xi Shi's departure with Fan Li, and the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu wrote in the "Du Niang Poems": "Xizi under Gu Su, a ship to drive away yi." And the "Yiyi" here is the reference to Fan Li. Su Dongpo wrote: "The Five Lakes asked, and the flat boat returned, still carrying Xizi. According to these records, the Ming Dynasty opera writer Liang Chenyu also compiled the influential "Huan Sha Ji". The current "Ci Hai" (revised version) records that Xi Shi yi zuo Xizi, in the late Spring and Autumn period of the Yue kingdom, the ramie people, was dedicated by the Yue King to Wu Wang Fuchai, becoming FuChai's favorite concubine. Legend has it that after Wu's death, he and Fan Li entered the Five Lakes. ”

Legend has it that on the first night of Xi Shi's return to Yue, Gou Jian asked her to go to bed, saying that Fu Cha could share a bed with her, and he could too. On the first night of his return, he was summoned to the bedchamber, and the wife of the Yue King could not help but feel jealous and jealous, saying that Xi Shi was a disaster for the water and could not stay for a long time, so she sunk Xi Shi into the water behind the back of the Yue King. This is a rendition of Xi Shi's death in Feng Menglong's "Chronicles of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" and Mr. Bai Yang's "Death of the Empress".
This statement is also more popular because it is more in line with the king's lustful and queen's jealousy. In fact, this kind of statement first appeared in the "Mozi Qinshi": "The sinking of Xi Shi, its beauty is also", and later Zhao Ye of the Eastern Han Dynasty said in "Wu Yue Chunqiu" that after the fall of the Wu Kingdom, the Yue King put Xi Shi into the skin bag and sank into the river to avoid the red face disaster of the country. Here, whether it is the Gou Jian or the poisonous hand of the Queen of Yue, only from these descriptions we can conclude that Xi Shi was sunk into the river.
In the poems of the literati Moke, there is also no shortage of depictions of Xi Shi being killed by Shen Jiang. Li Shangyin once wrote a poem in "Jingyang Well": "The Jingyang Gongjing is sad, and the dragon luan swore to die." The intestines broke the water outside the Wu Palace, and the mud was buried in Xi Shi. Another poet, Pi Rixiu, wrote in the fifth poem titled "Guan Wa Gong Huaigu": "The golden jade steps in the Xiangshi Corridor, the Qiluo body on pingping mountain." I don't know where the water is buried today, and the creek and moon bend to follow suit. This also means that Xi Shi did not follow Fan Li, but died in the water.
The above Shen River of Xi Shi was committed by the Yue people, and there is another theory that Xi Shi was sunk into the river by the Wu people. Legend has it that after King Wu committed suicide by swinging his sword, the Wu people believed that Xi Shi was the culprit of the disaster on the country and the people, so they vented all their anger on Xi Shi, wrapped her in brocade layer by layer, and sank to the heart of Yangzi River. Luo Yin of the Tang Dynasty, who supported this view, wrote: "The rise and fall of the family country has sometimes occurred, and the Wu people have complained bitterly about Xi Shi. If Xi Shi dissolved the State of Wu, who would be the one who would fall for the Fallen Kingdom of Yue. In addition, the "Chronicle of Foreign Objects of Dongpo" also records: "There are mermaids in the Yangtze River, also known as Xishi fish, which change color in a day, the flesh is fine and delicious, and the woman eats it, which can increase the flattery, according to the cloud system Xishi Shenjiang after the illusion." Of course, it is possible that Xi Shi was shen jiang by the Wu people, but the supporting materials are limited to literary color, and there is no credible evidence to prove that Xi Shi was killed by the Wu people Shen Jiang.

Legend has it that after the destruction of Wu, his wife secretly tricked Xi Shi out, tied the stone to Xi Shi's body, and then sank into the sea. What's more, legend has it that since then, there has been a kind of human tongue-like wenshi in the sediment along the coast, and everyone says that this is Xi Shi's tongue, so it is called "Xi Shi tongue". In the 1930s, when the famous writer Yu Dafu was in Fujian, after tasting this dish, he was even more amazed by the "Xi Shi Tongue" as a divine product. Maybe people can't bear the end of the legend of the beauty, so they believe that the beauty has transformed into something beautiful.

This theory believes that Xi Shi came to Wuguo originally to confuse Fu Cha and be loyal to the country, but when he arrived in Wu Guo, Fu Cha loved her in every way, and in the days of getting along with Fu Cha, he found more and more that Fu Cha really liked her, and when she completed her mission, she found that she had also been touched by Fu Cha's true feelings and gradually fell in love with him. But it was too late, all she did led to the collapse of Wu Guoguo, deeply ashamed of her husband, into the pain of deep self-blame, it was difficult to extricate herself, and the only choice was to die. This ending is mostly a plot interpreted in some scripts and dramas, and there is no historical fact to verify.

The poem "Huan Sha" asked by the early Tang Dynasty poet Song Zhiqing reads: "Once the old capital is still in the past, the beautiful makeup is looking for Ruoye." Birds have amazing pine dreams, and fish are afraid of lotus flowers" as a basis for the belief that after Wu's death, Xi Shi returned to his hometown and accidentally fell into the water and died during a huansha. But there is also a lack of evidence for this claim.
Since ancient times, the red face has been bumpy, and no one knows where the dream belongs. Whether a generation of beauties traveled around with their lover Fan Li to the five lakes, or were driven away by the waves at the bottom of the Shen River, or there are other possibilities, we do not know, and future generations have their own opinions.
