China's culture is extensive and profound, and there are many kinds of idioms, proverbs and two-part allegorical sayings, which are fascinating. Most of them like to use the idiom "semi-old Xu Niang" to describe those women who have reached middle age but are still attractive. The origin of this idiom is the disharmonious emotional story between Xu Zhaopei and her husband in Nanliang.
Xu Zhaopei's husband is Xiao Yi, the son of Xiao Yan, the founding monarch of Liang in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Although Xiao Yi is the heir to the royal family, he loves literature very much. He loved reading and writing books since he was a child. In literature, he and his father Xiao Yan and his brothers Xiao Tong and Xiao Gang were called "Four Xiao" and "Three Cao" with the Cao Cao family in the Three Kingdoms period, which had a certain position in the history of literature, and Xiao Yi was the leader of their four Xiao Zhong.
In addition to literature, Xiao Yi has done a lot of research in the fields of calligraphy, painting, music and fragrant horses. If nothing happens, Xiao Yi may be a versatile prince in history, and he will go down in history. But it happened that he was born at the wrong time. In such troubled times as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Hou Jing Rebellion happened, and he became a ruined historical sinner. What's going on here?
Hou Jing was a rebel in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and was taken in by ZSZSZSZ after he defected to Nanliang. However, the Liang Dynasty was dissatisfied with its friendship with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, so it rebelled in Shouyang in the name of "Jun Qing side" in 584 AD. Unexpectedly, the rule of Nanliang was decadent, and Hou Jing rebelled without resistance. After only one year, I entered the capital of Nanliang, Jiankang. Into the health of Hou Jing, starved to death, mastered the military and political power of Liang, successively abolished the three puppet emperors Xiao, Xiao Gang and Xiao Dong. Later, he simply became emperor himself, with the title of Han.
When the chaos in Hou Jing was in full swing, Xiao Yi, the heavily armed king of eastern Hunan, did not send troops to save his father, but chose to wait and see. In Hou Jing, he solved the orthodox imperial power of his fathers and brothers, and Xiao Yi personally sent his troops to solve Xiao Yu, Xiao Lun and Cha Xiao, the royal family of the Liang Dynasty, and cleared all obstacles for his claim to the throne. When all these troubles were solved, Xiao Yi sent his troops to destroy Hou Jing and proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangling, namely Emperor Liang Yuan.
After Xiao Yi proclaimed himself emperor, he found Xiao Ji, the younger brother of Wuling King who was guarding Shu, proclaimed himself emperor without authorization. This made Xiao Yi unbearable, so he sent troops to attack Xiao Ji. In order to increase the success rate, Xiao Yi also invited the Western Wei Dynasty to send troops to attack Xiao Ji. However, this gave the Western Wei an opportunity. Xiao Yi and Xiao Zhan fought fiercely on the battlefield. Xiao Yi finally defeated Xiao Ji, only to find that the whole kingdom of Shu was occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty.
Their hard-won land was occupied by the Western Wei Dynasty. Xiao Yi wrote to Yu Wentai, an important official of the Western Wei Dynasty, demanding that the national boundaries be redrawn according to the original land of the Liang Dynasty. His words are very arrogant. As the saying goes, it is easier to ask God than to send him. Yu Wentai naturally refused to agree to Xiao Yi's request. Not only that, Yu Wentai also sent 50,000 troops to attack Jiangling. Jiangling was easy to attack but difficult to defend. The soldiers in West Wei Jun were stronger than those in Mazhuang, and Xiao Yi's army was quickly defeated.
After Xiao Yi failed, he made a wrong decision. As mentioned above, Xiao Yi is a great genius and loves books, so he has always had the habit of collecting books. Especially after he became emperor, he collected rare books of ancient books of various eras. When he fought against the Western Wei Dynasty, he had collected 6.5438+0.4 million books. Just when the Western Wei Dynasty attacked Jiangling, Xiao Yi also explained Lao Tzu with ministers in the palace. When Xiao Yi was defeated, Xiao Yi, confused or stupid, ordered all his books to be burned, which was called "Jiangling burning books" in history. Looking at the blazing flame, Xiao Yi sighed: "The road of civil and military affairs is exhausted tonight!"
"Burning books in Jiangling" is a catastrophe of China history and China culture. Because of this move, Xiao Yi has become a sinner through the ages. Later, people remembered his burning books, and they were saddened.
