She is one of the few decisive figures in China's traditional opera stories.
In fact, there are many ungrateful men like Chen Shimei.
There is also a story called "Flower Gun Edge", which tells the story of another abandoned woman.
The protagonist of the story is Jiang Guizhi. He is a lady in Nanyang. He is not only rich, but also skilled in martial arts.
His father saved his son Luo Yi, who went to Beijing to take the exam. Jiang Guizhi took a fancy to Luo Yi, and they got married at Jiang's house.
Luo Yi learned fireworks in Chiang Kai-shek's school and went to Beijing, and never heard from her again.
Forty years later, I learned from the air of rebel officers and soldiers that there was a man named Luo Yi in Yanshan who rebelled. Jiang Guizhi immediately rebelled against Nanyang and sought her husband thousands of miles away.
However, when Jiang Guizhi's family found Luo Yi, Luo Yi performed even worse than Chen Shimei. If Chen Shimei did it just because the imperial power had to, there is nothing wrong with it. Se's behavior is completely shameless, because he has rebelled and stood on his own feet, and no one can bully him. He completely obliterated his history just to save face, without adding Joseph.
Chen Shimei just sent people to assassinate him, but Se arranged troops to deal with it personally, hitting his former lover and master with the fireworks he learned in the Chiang family, and even "retaliating three times" with his stunt.
Unlike Qin Xianglian, who relied on Bao Zheng as an upright official, Jiang Guizhi relied on his own skills. At that time, she didn't pass all the marksmanship to Lao Luoyi, but she knocked the ungrateful man off the horse by herself. However, when he saw that the former man became weak from strong, Jiang Guizhi chose to forgive the man who betrayed him for forty years.
The whole story has a happy ending.
But such a heartless person, how can you just bypass him?
I thought, what if Jiang Guizhi is Qin Xianglian? Then he was directly killed by Luo Yi, and no one remembered his grievances.
Qin Xianglian is such a fate, she has no ability to resist.
All she relies on is Bao Qingtian.
But the emperor ordered him to live, but Bao Zheng wavered and let him live.
But Qin Xianglian's charm was revealed: I don't forgive, I have to die.
Qin Xianglian saw that Bao Qingtian, whom he relied on, was so timid that he dismissed it. She said that Bao Zheng was just an empty name, and she accused its officials of protecting each other. Finally, Bao Zheng was moved, ignored the instructions of his superiors and killed Chen Shimei and Xu.
This is the attitude that women should have.
"Xu, look at the details before entering the room. It says that Qin Xianglian, 32, is suing Xu Malang. Deceive the monarch and obey the emperor, and those who break their promises will recruit the east bed. The Story of a Beauty in Han Qi Temple was the best one in my childhood, except for the woman Xu, which was adapted from knowledgeable person in Ming Dynasty and Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses in Qing Dynasty.
Chen Shimei, a scholar, came from a poor family, studied hard at a cold window for more than ten years, and had a loving relationship with his wife Qin Xianglian. After that, I went to Beijing to catch the exam, leaving Qin Xianglian to take care of my in-laws and children at home. Chen Shimei once won the highest prize. Seeing that he was handsome and a talented scholar, Song Renzong asked him if he had ever been married. Who knows, he lied to the gentleman that he had never been married, so he betrothed the princess to him and made him a Xu. Who knows that once in power, Qin Xianglian and her son were left behind. Men are big pig's hooves. Once in power, they forget to work quietly for their families and support their wives. But at this point, Qin Xianglian doesn't complain.
However, according to the regulations, it is not allowed to hold happy events within three years after the death of parents. There was even Ding You in the Ming Dynasty, who went home to be filial to his parents for three years. In addition, he also committed the crime of deceiving the monarch and concealing the fact that the emperor was married.
There was no news of her husband for several years. Qin Xianglian decided to go to Beijing to find her husband, but Chen Shimei was afraid that their mother and son had exposed the secret of his marriage, so he sent Han Qi to kill them. But Han Qi knew Chen Shimei's ugly face and couldn't bear to lay hands on Qin Xianglian's mother and son, but he couldn't go back to work with Chen Shimei, so he went to the temple and committed suicide. Chen Shimei was so shameless that she framed Qin Xianglian for killing Han Qi and sent her to the frontier to kill him. Fortunately, Qin Xianglian was saved.
It's really unbearable. In the face of such a devil, it's really a pity to die. It is not that Qin Xianglian must let Chen Shimei die, but that he made an unforgivable mistake and deserved to die.
Qin Xianglian is an ordinary civilian. It's up to her whether Chen Shimei dies or not. When it comes to whether Chen Shimei should die, we should first look at the laws of the Song Dynasty.
Judging from the form paper, Chen Shimei was involved in several crimes. The first is to deceive the emperor and prevent his wife from remarrying; The second is to kill his wife and children; The third is to force Han Qi to death.
First of all, stop your wife from remarrying.
In layman's terms, it is to have a wife and then marry another, which is what we now call bigamy. Bigamy is not a felony in modern times, but a neglected crime, and it is similar in Song Dynasty.
According to the law of the Song Dynasty, "those who have multiple wives will only serve for one year"; "If you marry a person who cheats you, it will only be a year and a half; Women don't sit at home. Stay with each other. " From this perspective, the punishment for stopping his wife from remarrying is similar to that now, and the punishment is not heavy.
Qin Xianglian left her hometown with her children to find Chen Shimei, just because she couldn't survive the disaster in her hometown, so when she knew that Chen Shimei had married another princess, all she asked was for Chen Shimei to recognize them. If Chen Shimei is a smart person, she should spend some money to arrange the life of Qin Xianglian and her son, and tell Qin Xianglian about her difficulties. If Qin Xianglian's mother and son are well-fed, how can she sue him based on her feelings for Chen Shimei? If there is no prosecution, Bao Qingtian will not take the initiative to intervene in these affairs even if he is disinterested. Chen Shimei can still be his promise.
But Chen Shimei, not only denied Qin Xianglian's mother and son, but also drove them away. He also sent Han Qi to kill their mother and son, which involved the second charge of killing his wife and abandoning his children.
Speaking of killing his wife and abandoning his children, this story may be more accurate to buy a murderer.
According to the law of the Song Dynasty, whoever buys a murderer will be punished as homicide. As long as he makes a decision and sends someone, whether he kills or not, he will be sentenced to three years in prison. So if the victim is injured, the mastermind will be sentenced to hang; If the victim dies, he will be beheaded.
This is similar to the current law, and this crime is much heavier than preventing his wife from remarrying. Fortunately, Chen Shimei general Han Qi is a man of conscience. After he knew the truth, he didn't have the heart to kill Qin Xianglian's mother and son, which also virtually lightened Chen Shimei's charges. Because Qin Xianglian's mother and son, that is, the victim, are not dead, Chen Shimei's crime is not enough to be sentenced to death, and the sentence is about several years in prison, and the crime is not fatal.
What is the crime of forcing Han Qi to death?
Han Qi's death in My Beauty Case plays a very important role, because his death strengthened Qin Xianglian's determination to sue Chen Shimei, and it can also arouse the audience's emotions and think that Chen Shimei deserved to die.
But think about it, Han Qi committed suicide. Can we blame Chen Shimei's death entirely on him? I always think that Han Qi's death in this play is not worth it, and I don't have the heart to kill Qin Xianglian and her son. I can walk away. Why would I kill myself? Later, I learned that this is the need of the plot, not whether he wants it or not. If he doesn't die, how can Bao Qingtian succeed in Chen Shimei?
Therefore, the folklore "My Beauty Case" is not necessarily in line with history. Just look at it and you will know. Don't take it too seriously. What it shows is more a desire of ordinary people, hoping to have such a person, such a mower, to punish evil and promote good, and to return justice to the world.
If you mean a story in a film or television play or drama, then I don't think it is necessary for Qin Xianglian to let Chen Shimei die, but Chen Shimei has been doing it.
1. cling to the powerful, like the new and hate the old.
Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian have been husband and wife for ten years, adding fragrance to tea. When he was immersed in his studies, Qin Xianglian took care of the housework, supported him behind his back when he was helpless, and won the first prize. When Song Renzong saw that Chen Shimei was not only knowledgeable but also handsome, he betrothed the princess to him. Chen Shimei lied to the emperor that he was not married and had children, and he agreed. This is equivalent to when a man has no money now, his wife helps him by selling iron. Once he succeeds, he kicks his wife and marries a young, beautiful and rich man. No one will kill him. But for a positive female image like Qin Xianglian, this incident alone is not enough for Qin Xianglian to complain.
2. Kill your wife and your heir and challenge human relations.
At that time, Chen Shimei's parents had just died. According to the law at that time, it was forbidden to get married within three years of mourning, and it was a crime to bully you if you didn't get married. Qin Xianglian married him when he was down and out. Since the Tang dynasty, there has been a rule of "seven goes and three don't go", and the scum's wife can't divorce. So when Chen Shimei was planning to be Xu, he had already violated these three laws.
Qin Xianglian saw that there was no news of Chen Shimei, and the portable son was looking for a husband. Chen Shimei was afraid that the appearance of Qin Xianglian and their children would expose things, so he sent Han Qi to kill Qin Xianglian and his son. But Han Qi was dishonest and forced to commit suicide. Chen Shimei framed Qin Xianglian for killing Han Qi, Qin Xianglian was sent to the frontier, and Chen sent a killer to kill Qin Xianglian in the middle, but he was saved.
So from this perspective, Chen Shimei was sentenced for breaking the law, not because Qin Xianglian wanted him to die, but because of the law.
Besides, at this point, does Qin Xianglian still keep people like Chen Shimei for the New Year?
3. Kill the innocent and implicate the innocent
In order to cover up the fact that Qin Xianglian and I used to be husband and wife, he bought a murder, which led to the tragic death of innocent people.
So it's not that Qin Xianglian wants to report him, but that he must die.
However, from a historical point of view, this story is likely to be fabricated. According to the inscriptions of local Chen Shimei and local legends, Chen Shimei is an upright and upright official. However, because his fellow villagers came to ask him for an official position, he was rejected, so he held a grudge and shaped Chen Shimei into a villain who abandoned his wife and attached himself to power, and made a play. It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of Chen Shimei saw the play and vomited blood with anger. Moreover, there has always been a local saying that "Chen Shimei is not sung in Beimen Street and Qinjialou is not sung in Qin Xianglian".
In the Song Dynasty, Chen Shimei, the champion of the new department, was recruited as the son-in-law of Dong Chuang. He rose from a poor boy to the sky, married a royal gold branch and jade leaf, and instantly became rich. However, he still felt uneasy because he concealed the fact that he had a wife and children.
The original Qin Xianglian sent her husband Chen Shimei to Beijing to take the exam, and she took care of the children and waited on her in-laws wholeheartedly at home. However, her hometown suffered a disaster, and two old people starved to death. In desperation, she rushed to Beijing with a pair of children to find her missing husband.
The shop where she stayed was a good person. After listening to her story, she understood that her husband had become a royal upstart. In her capacity, it is tantamount to meeting him in heaven. Give her advice on stopping the sedan chair and complaining. The sedan chair she stopped was Wang Yanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Prime Minister Wang also meant well, so he invited Chen Shimei to his home and let him reunite with his wife. However, for the sake of his own future, Chen Shimei cruelly refused to recognize Xiang Lian's mother and son. Prime Minister Wang coaxed him, and the ungrateful man sneered, Take good care of her, and stay alone! The angry old man trembled, gave Xiang Lian a folding fan and told her to complain to Kaifeng.
Chen Shimei knew that his wife and children were here, and he was frightened, for fear that the story of cheating you would be exposed. As a lamb, he sent Han Qi to kill Qin Xianglian's mother and son, and he was sure to see the blood on his head.
Han Qi is also a kind-hearted person. After he knew the details, he hated Xu's ruthlessness. Let Xiang Lian and her son go and suffocate. Qin Xianglian watched Han Qi die for himself, and his hatred for her husband grew stronger and stronger. She went to Kaifeng with a bloody knife to complain.
Bao Zheng sat in Kaifeng, received the form, and invited Xu, with the intention of coaxing him. However, when Xu saw that his original wife was still alive, he couldn't help getting angry from his heart. He wanted to commit murder while guarding Bao Zheng, which dashed Qin Xianglian's last hope. She lashed out at the ungrateful man. She is still wearing her in-laws and filial piety, but he is wearing a dragon robe. He denied a pair of children, forcing Han Qi to death. Seeing that Xu was stubborn, Bao Zheng went to court to inquire about the case, but Chen Shimei refused to plead guilty because he was a relative at home.
When the princess and Mrs Guo heard about this, they rode to Kaifeng House, just to spare Bao Gong and Ma Xu. Bao Zheng helpless, take out money to Xiang Lian, Xiang Lian don't. She said that she thought Bao Gong was a blue sky, but she didn't want officials to protect each other. From then on, she didn't sue the authorities even if she died unjustly.
Bao Zheng touched a lot, resisted heavy pressure and executed Xu on the spot. Xiang Lian and her son were treated fairly.
I don't think Qin Xianglian let Chen Shimei die on purpose! The people who really want him dead are the emperor and Bao Qingtian! She dragged her children all the way to Chen Shimei, just to give them an explanation and correct their birthright! Knowing that Chen Shimei is an official and married at the same time, it is estimated that she has realized that Chen Shimei can't turn back ... After all, cheating the emperor is no joke! On the way to the complaint, the forces from the imperial power were constantly suppressed, which completely aroused the hatred and anger of the female man Qin Xianglian ... If there were no sunspots, maybe she would die in prison or find a crooked neck tree to end herself! What a genius! Bao Qingtian is here! The openness and transparency of the incident directly escalated to the height of the national imperial power emperor's dirty laundry! In fact, the condemned man killed Chen Shimei, and the emperor is the imperial power! ! ! Old irons, how do you understand! Welcome comments and corrections!
For this question, let's discuss the content of traditional Chinese opera without considering the prototype of Chen Shimei in history.
If the heartbreaker is a representative figure, Chen Shimei is definitely the first to bear the brunt, which depends on the widespread singing of the opera My Beautiful Case. Chen Shimei's image of abandoning his wife and children is outrageous, and what is more gratifying is that he was finally put in the leading role by Bao Qingtian. Instead of asking why Chen Shimei died, it's really no wonder that Qin Xianglian, just because Chen Shimei has been committing iniquities, can't live.
First of all: abandon his wife and children, treachery.
Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian have two children. They play the piano, harp and sing, taking Qi Mei as an example. Although life is not comfortable, their families are harmonious and warm. When Chen Shimei was studying hard at the cold window, Qin Xianglian was a strong shield behind him. On the one hand, Qin Xianglian has to take care of a pair of children and work hard day and night; on the other hand, she has to abide by the feudal ethics of ancient women and be filial to her in-laws. Chen Shimei, on the other hand, turned a deaf ear to things outside the window, reading only sage books.
Messy things and Chen Shimei finally won the first prize. During his stay in Hsi Chin, Song Renzong wanted to marry the princess to Chen Shimei because he saw Chen Shimei's extraordinary manners and imposing manner. As the old saying goes, there are four happy events in life: the wedding night, the long drought and the rain, and the encounter with an old friend in another country. At this time, Chen Shimei was completely carried away by greed, so he left his wife and children's parents and lied that he was unmarried, so he got married.
Second, kill your wife, regardless of human feelings.
Qin Xianglian, who is waiting for her husband to come back at home, went to Beijing to find her husband. In Beijing, she heard that her husband's top high school student was proud to be her husband's son-in-law. Qin Xianglian came to make friends with her husband. He didn't want Chen Shimei to not only refuse to make friends with his wife, but also secretly send Han Qi to kill his wife and children. His inner pain is tolerable. When Han Qi came after his mother and two sons, he couldn't bear to do it when he knew the truth, and he was afraid to come back to me, so he had to apologize himself. After Chen Shimei knew it, he falsely accused Qin Xianglian of killing Han Qi with the intention of killing Qin Xianglian. Qin Xianglian was rescued when he was sent to the frontier.
In this section, Chen Shimei committed not only moral problems, but attempted murder. He regards the law as a joke and intends to despot the monarch, which is not allowed by law.
Finally, later generations changed the ending to comfort people.
In Bao Gong case, the prototype of Bamei case, Chen Shimei was finally sent to exile in the frontier. The Qing people thought that what Chen Shimei did was heinous and unforgivable, so they changed the ending to the death of the leader. It also highlights a sense of justice that evil is rewarded with evil and justice is obvious, and guides the values that good and evil are rewarded.
So Chen Shimei was not sued by Qin Xianglian, and he did everything.
In fact, I especially like My Beauty Case and Shiro Visiting Mother! Of course, it is also true that Chen Shimei has been defiled by friends for more than one hundred years!
Let's analyze the contents of the opera. I don't think Qin Xianglian would want Chen Shimei to die, and Bao Gong would want Chen Shimei to die!
Why do you say that? From a realistic point of view, Bao Gong is the biggest beneficiary of the praise case! The ancients paid attention to fame, and Bao Gong, who was famous for his integrity and selflessness, added a touch of awe of imperial power to his resume, which can only be icing on the cake!
Why didn't Qin Xianglian want Chen Shimei dead? Because women in ancient times lived by men, even if Qin Xianglian hated Chen Shimei again, he had to rely on Chen Shimei. I think Qin Xianglian wants a living husband, not a ghost husband! Chen Shimei was defeated, but after that, from a realistic point of view, what about Qin Xianglian's later life? Where is her refuge?
Let's talk about the law again: First of all, Qin Xianglian's three-year filial piety has already met the example of taking three out of three. So Qin Xianglian should be sentenced to the original match, and Chen Shimei should not divorce his wife! Then what Chen Shimei's disloyalty to the royal family is really disloyalty to the monarch, and what should be cut must be cut! But the ancients were also monogamous, so the princess's marriage should be invalid! Of course, the princess can't be a little girl
Then, talk about human feelings. If the princess retires, the royal family will lose face. If Bao Gong dares to do this, he will never see the sun tomorrow! What should I do if the princess can't return? Actually, it's very easy. The ancients were very clever. For political reasons, one wife and two flat is the most common political marriage! The wife is Qin Xianglian, yes, but the flat wife is still empty! Although the royal family is still shameful, at least not in broad daylight! As for Chen Shimei, want to kill people, want to what? Believe it or not, the princess wants to kill you!
However, Bao Gong left a good reputation for himself, but let the royal family lose face! But in the end, it was Qin Xianglian and the princess who suffered! Qin Xianglian is helpless. Although the princess can live a luxurious life, who can complain about the pain of cold and loneliness?
And Sue's, saved, but can only be a concubine, and the old Shenyang family is dead except the concubine. What about the rich family in old Shenyang?
In ancient times, women were sad. The biggest sorrow is that they are used by some people and become their victims when they clearly can't be masters!
In real life, maybe Qin Xianglian doesn't have to let Chen Shimei die, and Chen Shimei has been doing it! Qin Xianglian fell in love with Chen Shimei when she was born in poverty, and married a princess when she became famous. Obviously, he forgot his wife and children. Even if he didn't go home to visit his wife and children, his parents didn't ask about their life and death. Qin Xianglian went to Beijing to fight Dai Xiao without feeling. It is acceptable for you to say that his relationship with Qin Xianglian is false and he doesn't love Qin Xianglian. Are parents fake, too Animals are worse than animals! Sending Han Qi to assassinate his wife and children is impossible for an outsider, let alone his husband and the father of his children. What he did really killed him. If you put these things into today's life, spitting may drown him!
