Liu Ruyi, whose real name is Yang Yingpi, a famous singer and prostitute, is intelligent and studious at an early age, but due to her family's poverty, she was plundered to Suzhou as a maid from childhood, and fell into the wind and dust when she was young, changed her name to Liu Yin, and traveled between Jiangsu and Zhejiang Jinling in the chaotic world. Because of reading the Song Dynasty Xin Renjie's "He Bridegroom": "I see how feminine Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see that I should be like this", so I call myself Liu Ru.
Liu Ru was in love with the Southern Ming poet Chen Zilong, but Chen Zilong was unfortunately defeated and died in the anti-Qing uprising. Liu's choice of son-in-law is very demanding, and many celebrities propose marriage that she does not like, and some only stay in the friendship stage. Finally, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, when she was more than 20 years old, she married Qian Qianyi, a leader of Donglin who was more than half a hundred years old and a well-known bureaucrat. After Qian married Liu, he built a spectacular and gorgeous "Daiyun Lou" and "Red Bean Pavilion" for her in Yushan Mountain, and the Golden House was hidden. The Liu clan had a daughter.
Liu Ru was in an era of chaos in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and in addition, Liu Ru had a deep sense of home and country and political ambitions. The Qing army entered the pass in a big way, overthrew the Ming Dynasty with an unstoppable momentum, defected to the new dynasty, and abandoned the old lord, Liu Ruru could not do it, although she was a female stream, she did not lose her loyalty to the country, preferring to die rather than steal life. One early summer night, Qian Qianyi and Liu Ruru drove a leaf boat by themselves and floated into the West Lake. The hazy moonlight coldly illuminated them, there were several dishes and a pot of wine on the boat, Liu Ru poured wine, took a cup to her husband, raised a cup herself, and said slowly: "Concubines can know Qian Jun, this life is enough, the country is broken, the mountains and rivers are broken, tonight you have to die with Jun, and die without regrets!" Qian Qianyi raised a glass: "Don't seek the same life, but seek the same death, Liu Qing is really the old man's confidant!" The two of them drank a pot of wine quietly, and Yue'er was already in the west, Liu Ru was the first to stand up, take Qian Qianyi's hand, and calmly said, "Let's go!" Qian Qianyi suddenly woke up from the wine, hurriedly reached outside the boat to stir up the water, looked up at Liu Ru and said, "Tonight the water is too cold, we might as well come back another day, the old man is weak and can't bear the cold." Liu Ru knew that he was difficult to give up this life and did not dare to die for the country, and she had remorse, at this time she was also full of sorrow, jumped into the water alone to die for the country, and was later rescued.
"I see how feminine Qingshan is, and I should be like this when I see Qingshan", from Yang Yingpi to Liu Ruyi, it is both a rebirth and a metamorphosis, originally a person of wind and dust, but not stained with wind and dust, it is difficult to imagine that "the sea is now rumored to be fighting, and Tian Heng's tomb is also sad" and "The most is the Xiling cold food road, and the peach blossom is a beautiful person" is actually from the same person's pen. A deep love affair, since the ancient beauty of many hate. Liu Ru is a life of fate and emotional ups and downs, when the Ming Dynasty was crumbling, originally wanted to commit suicide with her husband Junjun to repay the country Mingzhi, her husband's sentence "the water is too cold" cooled Liu Ru's heart, not with the wind without knowing the strong grass, when she jumped into the water alone, to die as the country Mingzhi, destined and Qian Qianyi chose a different life, this jump, jumped out of a famous history dare to love and dare to hate Liu Ruyi, both the heart of the moon before the flower and the ambition of the Jinge iron horse, Liu Ru is destined to be a strange woman, This may also be the reason why Liu Ru's poetry and experiences have continued to attract the research and attention of future generations of scholars!
