first, Xi Shi followed Fan's theory of stupid seclusion. Yuan Kang's Yuejueshu in the Eastern Han Dynasty recorded that after Wu's death, "Xi Shi returned to Fan Stupid and went with him." There is a similar statement in Hu Yinglin's "The Brush Collection in Shaoshi Mountain Room" in the Ming Dynasty, thinking that Xi Shi was originally Fan Li's lover or wife. After the fall of Wu, Fan Li lived in seclusion with Xi Shi. Li Bai's poem "Xi Shi" reads: "Once Fu Cha is broken, it will never be returned." It is also believed that Xi Shi followed Fan Li in seclusion. It's just that "Guoyu Yue Yu" and "Shi Ji Yue Wang Gou Jian Shi Jia" recorded Fan Li's retirement in great detail, without mentioning Xi Shi.
Second, it was said by the King of Yue, Shen Jiang. "Mozi's pro-scholar" said: "It is the reason why it is better than dry, and its resistance is also; Meng Ben's killing is brave; The beauty of beauty lies in the beauty of beauty. The split of Wuqi is also a matter. " "Wu Yue Chun Qiu Yi Pian" also said: "The more you float on the west, the more you apply it to the river, and you will end up with the barbarians." That is to say, Xi Shi was used by the King of Yue in the battle of wuyue. "A sly rabbit dies, but a running dog cooks." After the King of Yue was proud, he put Xi Shi in a bag and sank to the bottom of the river.
Third, he accidentally fell into the water and died. Kind people don't want Xi Shi, an innocent and weak woman, to have a tragic ending, so they find out the poem "Huansha" by the poet Song in the early Tang Dynasty: "Once you return to the old capital, you can find beautiful makeup; On the basis of "birds are surprisingly relaxed, fish are heavy and afraid of lotus flowers", it is believed that Xi Shi returned to his hometown after the death of Wu, and accidentally fell into the water and died when he was washing gauze. This seems to be the most ideal, but it lacks the most evidence.
In a word, there are many stories and mysteries surrounding Xi Shi. Which statement is both historical and reasonable, please ask readers to reflect.
