Pu Songling's book "Liaozhai Zhiyi" can really be said to be "beautiful like a cloud", among which the more famous ones are Qingfeng, Baby Ning, Hongyu, Xiaohou, Xin Fourteen Niang, etc. and so on... Talk about the beauty in the fast. There are fairies, there are fox fairies, there are mortals, and of course there are "female ghosts". In the chat, Pu Songling's most admired beauty, personally thought it should be "Nie Xiaoqian".
Nie Xiaoqian is a "female ghost", and Nie Xiaoqian's story takes place in Jinhua, Zhejiang. Although Jinhua is an inland area of Zhejiang Province, it is not very far from the sea, and the precipitation is abundant so that the grass is dense. If you don't consider the ghost story of "Nie Xiaoqian", this place can be said to be a tourist attraction. In the primary school Chinese textbook, there is the famous travelogue "Remembering the Double Dragon Cave of Jinhua" and so on.
The male protagonist of Nie Xiaoqian's article, Ning Caichen, and the hero Yan Chixia live in an abandoned temple on the outskirts of Jinhua. In the deep mountain forest near the temple, there are three female ghosts: Grandma (another saying is the tree spirit), an old woman of thirty or forty years old, and a young girl Nie Xiaoqian. Pu Songling wrote about many beautiful women in Liaozhai Zhiyi, but basically there is no language to describe, and Nie Xiaoqian is an exception. Pu Songling said of Nie Xiaoqian in the chat: "Muscle reflection flowing Xia, foot upturned bamboo shoots, daylight end phase, delicate and beautiful" and so on...
Grandma used Nie Xiaoqian's beauty to seduce young men living in the temple, and if the man was not good, she used money (changed fake gold) to lure. When the prey is hooked, it is killed and offered to grandma, who eats their internal organs and drains their blood.
However, Ning Caichen was a righteous gentleman, and beauty could not seduce money or buy it. Although Nie Xiaoqian was a female ghost, she was still relatively kind in heart, and hoped that there would be good people and righteous people who would bury her bones in a better place. As a result, a love affair sprouted between Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen. Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian were still relatively lucky, they met Yan Chixia, a hero who was strong in martial arts and could spell demons and catch ghosts. In the end, Yan Chixia gave Ning Caichen a precious sword bag that could ward off evil spirits, and they used the sword bag to defeat the grandmother who came to hunt down and kill, and obtained a happy ending.
Because Nie Xiaoqian's story is too wonderful, it has become one of the "big hits" in the shooting and adaptation of costume film and television dramas. In the 60s and 70s of the last century, it was adapted into a film and television drama. Then, since the 1990s and the 21st century, I don't know how many film and television dramas based on Nie Xiaoqian have been adapted.
The most famous are the "Qiannu Ghost" filmed in 1987 and the new "Qiannu Ghost" filmed in 2011, and the two films played Nie Xiaoqian are high-value beauty stars. Nie Xiaoqian in the 1987 version of "Qiannu Ghost" was played by Wang Zuxian, and Nie Xiaoqian in the 2011 version of "Qiannu Ghost" became Liu Yifei.
Because Nie Xiaoqian is so famous, she has become a role played by many beautiful actresses in the entertainment industry. Since the 1990s and the 21st century, there have been too many people who have played Nie Xiaoqian in film and television dramas. In addition to the above two "Qiannu Ghost", nie Xiaoqian's more famous beauty stars have played in film and television dramas, according to incomplete statistics, there are Liu Mintao, Yang Mi, Xu Xiyuan, Zhang Jiani, Zhong Chuxi, etc. and so on... There are too many to list them all.
It is worth mentioning that a controversial female star in the entertainment industry has a TV series that has been established but has not been filmed, and she also wants to play Nie Xiaoqian in it. In the comedy variety show, a comedy sketch actor once played a comedy version of Nie Xiaoqian and so on... Because of the time relationship, I will not repeat it here.
Nie Xiaoqian is too popular, many beauty stars are vying to act, it can be said that she is the first beautiful woman in Pu Songling's Liaozhai Zhiyi.
