Yu Tongzhi's "The Tale of The Jealous Woman" is a book from the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, telling the stories of some jealous women, and not much has been handed down. One of the stories is very interesting, that is, after the Eastern Jin Dynasty general Huan Wen took a concubine after he asked for the State of Pingshu. When his wife Princess Nankang learned of this, she came to the concubine's residence with a knife and wanted to kill the concubine, but she was "frightened" by the concubine's beauty. Princess Nankang threw away the knife in her hand, went forward to hug the concubine and said, "Oh, I feel cute when I see you, not to mention that old guy!" This is the "throwing knife", which is called "the first beautiful woman in ancient and modern times" by some people, which is more touching and real and powerful than the stories of the four great beauties in ancient China, "sinking fish", "falling geese", "closed moon", and "shy flowers".
If sorted by time, "Throwing Knife" should be ranked before "Shame Flower"
Xi Shi
"Sinking fish, falling geese, closing the moon, and shy flowers" is a historical allusion composed of wonderful stories. "Sinking Fish" tells the story of Xi Shi Huansha; "Falling Goose" refers to the story of Zhaojun's outflower; "Closed Moon" is the story of the mink cicada worshiping the moon; "Shy Flower" talks about the story of Yang Yuhuan's noble concubine when she was drunk and watching the flowers.
These stories are literary imagery, and the elements of fiction and exaggeration are self-evident. Fish will not sink because of Xi Shi, geese cannot fall because of the sound of pipa; the moon will be closed by mink cicadas, and Yang Yuhuan is only shy of mimosa. What's more, Xi Shi has a lot of legendary elements; Wang Zhaojun is not necessarily very beautiful in the background of the painter's "ugly painting"; the mink cicada is directly a fictional character and cannot be history; Yang Yuhuan is obviously a little fat, which does not conform to the aesthetic concept of today's people.
In contrast, only the story of "throwing the knife" is the most true and very powerful. And beauty can shock the knife in the hands of others to the ground, and it is very inferior to describe it as stunning.
The original text of the "Book of Jealous Women": Sima Pingshu of Huanda, with Li Shinu as a concubine. Huan's wife, nanjun, was fierce and jealous, and did not know it; later, he drew his sword and led dozens of concubines to Li Suo, because he wanted to cut it. Seeing Li combing his hair in front of the window, his hair hanging down, his posture was absolutely beautiful, but He knotted his hair and said to the Lord: "The country is broken and the family is dead, and there is no heart to this day; if you can see the killing, it is still the year of life." "He looked idle and his words were sad. The Lord threw his sword and held it before, "Sister can't see Ru without pity, let alone the old slave." "So I met it well.
Sima Xingnan, the princess of Nankang, was not only jealous, but also led the "team", there were many people, and the emotions of being a "leader" were not easy to control, but the knife was still frightened. It has been fully explained that the beauty of the "lost knife" Li Shi is not only amazing, but also that the beauty of "Sui Shan Encounter" shows that its beauty is continuous, that is, we often say "endurance", which can make people not tired of looking, not to shock the knife and finish it.
Therefore, it is not too much to add Li Shi to the four beauties. And if she is sorted by time, she should be ranked before Yang Yuhuan, the "shy flower".
Jin Dynasty women
There are several versions of the story, and the "throwing knife" Li Shi does have his own person
Wang Zhaojun
Li Shi left an idiom for future generations because of the story told above: I see Judah pity. It can be roughly understood that the beauty of the woman seen is loved by everyone. There is another version of Li's story, which is also in Liu Yiqing's "Shishu Xinyu Xianyuan", but the scene is different.
Liu Yiqing portrayed Sima Xingnan, the princess of Nankang, into a "virtuous yuan", without Li's calm and calm words of "the country is broken and the family is destroyed, and there is no heart to this day; if you can see the killing, it is the year of life", saying that Sima Xingnan used a generous compassion to forgive Li Shi, rather than letting her go because Li Shi was too beautiful. Here, the jealous woman Sima Xingnan in "The Book of Jealous Women" became a woman who was knowledgeable, sensible, and virtuous. In addition, there is a version of the folk tale, saying that Sima Xingnan rushed in with people, Li Shi was frightened and fell to his knees and begged for forgiveness, Sima Xingnan saw that Li Shi was beautiful, Chu Chu was pitiful, and spared Li Shi.
All the stories prove that the "throwing knife" Lee Shi really has his own person. And her matching with the name "throwing knife", or whether it is worth Sima Xingnan's knife, is a problem that needs to be analyzed.
Sima Xingnan was the eldest daughter of Sima Shao, the Emperor of Jinming, and his mother was Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun of Mingmu, who was initially enfeoffed as the lord of Sui'an County, and later married Huan Wen. According to the "Biography of Xie Yi in the Book of Jin", Sima Xingnan, because he was the eldest daughter of a concubine, had a bold and strong personality since childhood, and was quite a man, and after marrying Huan Wen, "Huan Wen was mighty". This tells people that Sima Xingnan is "not ordinary", at least it can be said that she has a bad temper, is not gentle, is a strict manager, and does not put her husband in her eyes.
The "Biography of Xie Yi of the Book of Jin" also tells such a story about Sima Xingnan, that is, Xie Yi often ran to Huan wen Mansion to drink, and when he was drunk, he pushed his turban aside, his clothes were not neat, he sang and shouted, and he had to chase Huan Wen to fight wine. Huan Wen had no choice but to hide in Princess Nankang's room before Xie Yi was willing to stop. Later, whenever Xie Yi came to the door, Huan Wen hid in the princess's room. Princess Nankang therefore said, "If it weren't for this mad Sima Sima, how could I have seen Lang Jun!" ”
Xie Yi was Xie An's older brother, and was the official general of Anxi and the Assassin of Yuzhou. Sima Xingnan called him "Mad Sima" because he had once been Sima of the Huanwen shogunate (an official in charge of horses). "If there is no crazy Sima Jun, why should I meet each other", at least it can explain such a problem, that is, Sima Xingnan is very, very much want to be alone with Huan Wen, and even tolerate a drunkard for this reason. This, coupled with the character cultivation from childhood, shows that Sima Xingnan is likely to move the knife to Li Shi. Before Li Shi, Huan Wen did not have a second wife, which is more illustrative.

The ancestors were like white people with white blood, and they were royal temperament girls

Today, we judge whether a person is beautiful or not, there are two main prerequisites, one is the family environment and the education received, it will create a person's cultivation and temperament; the other point is the genetics, which was very important in ancient times without plastic surgery technology. Both of these points, Li Shi accounted for all.
Li Shi was the younger sister of Li Shi, the last emperor of the Cheng han Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and the Art and Literature Collection says that she was Li Shi's daughter. But whether it is a daughter or a sister, the family origin determines that Li Shi did not bow down after seeing Sima Xingnan, and this is her calm and calm, not humble royal sister temperament. At the same time, the phrase "the country is broken and the family is destroyed, and there is no intention to live to this day; if you can see the killing, it is still the year of life", it can be regarded as the chicken soup of the soul when people "taste beauty".
In 347, Sima Huanwen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty led an army against Li Shi, and Li Shi's army was defeated and surrendered, and Cheng Han perished. Li Shi pulled the coffin by car and had people tie himself up in front of Huan Wen's military barracks, claiming that he had committed "Tianwei", was ashamed and embarrassed, and was willing to bear the sword and axe, and let Huan Wen kill him to sacrifice the war drums of the army. Huan Wen untied Li Shi's rope and burned his coffin, and Li Shi offered his beautiful daughter or sister to Huan Wen by the way. Subsequently, Li Shi's relatives were moved to the Eastern Jin dynasty capital Jiankang (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu), and Li Shi was given the title of Marquis of Guiyi.
Here, it is not difficult for people to see that if Li Shi is not beautiful, Huan Wen, who has a strict wife, will not take her as a concubine. In addition, Li Shi's brother or father Li Shi is also quite good-looking. In the history books, it is said that Li Shi was seven feet nine inches tall, and he was once loved by Li Qi, the Duke of Chenghan, because of his posture and appearance, and was worshipped as the son of the King of Han.
There is also the problem of genes, the founder of the Chenghan regime, Li Te, was a Qi person, known as Ba Li (a branch of the Qi people, there is a saying that it is homologous with the Qiang). The Yu people seem to have white blood in China's ancient books, and eventually merged with the Han or other ethnic groups, and in the process of integration, there will undoubtedly be some excellent mixed races.
In addition, how beautiful Li Shi really is, but also look at Sima Xingnan, who was shocked by her knife, which will explain the beauty of Li Shi from another side.
We don't know what Sima Xingnan looks like, but her father, Sima Shao, the Emperor of Jinming, should be a beautiful man. There were a certain number of Caucasian people in the ancient east of China, and Sima Shao's mother was the White Xianbei. The Shishu Xinyu False Sayings records that Sima Shao was called a "yellow-headed xianbei slave" and that his physiognomy was "yellow beard". That is to say, Sima Shao has the characteristics of blonde hair and blue eyes and other Caucasians. Sima Xingnan's mother, Yu Wenjun, was not only kind in temperament, but also had a beautiful posture and appearance. Sima Xingnan, who was born in this family background, must be a big beauty if he does not encounter genetic mutations. And Huan Wen is "afraid" of Sima Xingnan, of course, there are also the beauty factors of Sima Xingnan.
The so-called beauty can only be a stunned beauty to become a big beauty, so it is completely possible to determine that Li Shi must be a big beauty. (Text/Lu Sheng)
