In ancient China, there were four beautiful men, and there were several versions, but no matter which version, Pan Yue always ranked first.
A few other beautiful men, briefly introduce it:
One was Gao Changgong (541-573), the Lanling king of Northern Qi during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, who was the grandson of Emperor Gao Huan of Northern Qi, the fourth son of Emperor Wenxiang of Wenxiang, and a royal disciple of Emperor Zhenzong. Tall and handsome, white as a woman, but don't be fooled by his appearance. Gao Changgong was a general of Northern Qi, who was soft in appearance but strong in heart, and talented in martial arts despite his beautiful face.
Tall and long statue
There is a legend about Gao Changgong, perhaps because it is too feminine to deter the enemy, or perhaps to protect his charming handsome face, Gao Changgong always wears a mask on the battlefield. At the Battle of Yaoshan, Gao Changgong led five hundred cavalry to break through the encirclement of the Northern Zhou army and came to Jin Yongcheng. Because Gao Changgong was wearing a mask, the people in the city were not sure whether it was the enemy army or our army, until Gao Changgong took off the mask and revealed a beautiful face, the people in the city knew that it was Gao Changgong, cheering in unison, the military spirit was greatly encouraged, and sent archers to release arrows to protect him into the city, after which Gao Changgong successfully broke the siege for Kim Yong. Gao Changgong was greatly famous in this battle, and the soldiers praised him for this battle, which was later famous as the "Lanling King's Entry Song".
Wei Jie (286–312), courtesy name Shubao, was a Jin dynasty metaphysician and official from Anyi, Hedong (present-day northern Xia County, Shanxi). When Wei Jie was a child, he was very well-behaved and cute, and once he took a sheep cart to the street market, and there were many people who saw him, and some people sighed: "Whose child is this, it's almost like a person carved out of jade bi." Later, people called Wei Jie "Jade Man". As an adult, Wei Jiu's reputation spread far and wide, every time he traveled, the people watching him were like a wall, and Wei Jiu had a lot of effort to highlight the siege. Wei Jiu was already weak and could not bear the fatigue, and eventually fell seriously ill and died, only 27 years old. At that time, people said that they saw Wei Jiu die, and the idiom "see and kill Wei Jie" came out like this.
Song Yu (c. 322 BC – c. 298 BC), also known as Ziyuan, was a Native of the State of Chu during the Warring States period. Legend has it that he was a student of Qu Yuan, and later generations often referred to the two as "Qu Song". In ancient times, "beautiful as Song Yu, looking like Pan An" was used to describe the handsomeness of men. Song Yu is not only handsome, but also talented, good at words, "Deng Disciple Lustful Endowment" is Song Yu's work, is a famous lexicographer after Qu Yuan, Song Yu's talent makes many women fascinated.
Ji Kang statue
Another version replaces Song Yu with Ji Kang, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Ji Kang (224-263), also known as Shu Ye, a thinker, musician, and writer of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. Ji Kang was seven feet eight inches long, his appearance and demeanor were outstanding, and people praised him: Long Zhang Fengzi, natural nature, and a versatile handsome man.
Combining the above several people, those who can be called beautiful men are not only based on outstanding appearance, but more importantly, they must have more outstanding talents.
So who is Pan Yue? He De, He Neng, He Mao, why can they rank first among the four beautiful men?
Pan Yue (247–300), courtesy name AnRen, later known as Pan An, was a native of Zhongmu County, Zhengzhou (present-day Zhongmu County, Zhengzhou, Henan). He was a famous writer and politician in the Western Jin Dynasty.
Pan Yue statue
His grandfather Pan Jin (潘瑾), who was Anping Taishou (安平太守), his father Pan Qian (潘芘), was the Lang Evil Inner History, and his mother, Xing Shi, was the Marquis of Guannei and Taichang (official name, the head of the Nine Qings) during the Cao Pi period, and his status was very lofty, in charge of culture and education. Xing's granddaughter. There is also a talented and well-informed, famous for his articles.
Born in such a family of eunuchs, you think about how powerful the excellent genes are. When he was young, Pan Yue was handsome, intelligent, and known as a strange boy. When he grew up, he naturally became the first beautiful man in ancient times. There is an allusion to the "fruit throwing car" that says Pan Yue:
Once Pan Yue was driving on the street of Luoyang, and the women were excited when they saw the beautiful man Pan An on the street. At that time, women did not talk about three from four virtues, they were very open, equal, and confident. They all ran and shouted after the handsome guy, trying to talk to him.
Do you think that only girls are like this, no, the love of beauty is everyone, even the old women have joined the ranks of chasing handsome men, in order to attract Pan Yue's attention, women have thrown fruits to Pan Yue's car, and in a moment Pan Yue's car is filled with fruit.
The ancients liked handsome men, very rational, just by throwing fruit to express, now some people have to learn from the ancients, do not throw their own people into it.
Can the handsome guy who is so liked and pampered by women not swell? Pan Yue really didn't swell. Pan Yue studied in Luoyang Taixue, for learning is not relaxed at all, and eventually became the first-class literary scholar of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and later literary works often use "Lu Cai is like the sea, Pan Cai is like a river" to describe a person's literary talent, Lu is lu ji, Pan is referring to Pan Yue.
When Pan Yue was twelve years old, he followed his father Pan Qian to Pan Qian's friend, who was also a guest of the family of Yang Zhao, a great Confucian, a calligrapher, and a Yangzhou assassin, and Yang Zhao, who fell in love with this future son-in-law at a glance.
Statue of Yang Rongji
Yang Zhao had a daughter named Yang Rongji, two years younger than Pan Yue, who had been intelligent since childhood, and under the teaching of Yang Zhao, she could write and draw well, and also had literary talent.
Both parents agreed to the marriage, so when Pan Yue was twenty-five years old, he married Yang Rongji.
After marriage, the two husbands sang with the woman, and Yang Rongji became Pan Yue's xiannai helper and good helper. Pan Yue was engaged in politics, he couldn't help himself, whether he served in Beijing or released the county order, Yang Rongji always accompanied Pan Yue. Politically proud and frustrated, Yang Rongji has always shared and shared with her husband.
Happy Mandarin Duck
After the two married, they had a son, and before they could take a name, they died in infancy. The only daughter, named Pan Jinlu, accompanied them for twelve years, giving them infinite happiness and joy, and later left them due to illness.
This is the most fatal blow to a mother, Yang Rongji can not withstand such a heavy blow, when she was forty-nine years old, she helplessly abandoned her beloved handsome husband to accompany her children.
And Pan Yue said to Yang Rongji: I have a lot of affection, only this life, amorous only for you.
Because Yang Rongji likes peach blossoms, when Pan Yue did Heyang County Ling, he combined with the local environment to plant peach blossoms, peach blossoms bloom in spring, and the husband and wife wandered in between, and the peach blossoms on their faces were red.
After Yang Rongji's death, Pan Yue kept filial piety at home for a year.
Looking at their house, the eyes are the wife.
In the house, as far as the eye can see, they are full of their daily experiences.
Looking at the calligraphy and painting ink hanging in the house, Pan Yue felt that his wife was still there.
Later, Pan Yue wrote many poems, in addition to the three "Mourning Poems", there were also "Mourning Forever Death Text" and "Mourning Endowment", expressing Pan Yue's deep feelings with his wife. This set a precedent for mourning poems, and since then the scope of mourning poems has been limited to mourning wives.
Lonely Mandarin Duck
The great Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Shu had an evaluation of Pan Yue's mourning poems, "Pan An mourns the death of Yu Fei", but do not forget that only those who are deep and dedicated to their wives will nagging and tirelessly write poems for their deceased wives!
After the death of his wife, Pan Yue closed the door of affection, did not abuse affection, did not remarry, until his death.
It has disappointed and admired countless women who admire Pan Yue, calling it "Pan Yang's goodness".
Later generations have praised Wei Jin's demeanor, but in my opinion, in the so-called Wei Jin demeanor, some of the manifestations are all pretentious and hypocritical, so they are mysterious, and none of them can compare with the infatuated pan Yangzhi!
