Li Qingzhao is from Jinan, Shandong. She was born in a noble and scholarly family. Her father, Li, used to be an assistant minister in the official etiquette department, and was a somewhat elegant official. According to the legend of the History of Song Dynasty, Li Ge's lyrics are not refined, his words are lively and his narrative is vivid. He prayed for Tao Yuanming all his life and had a tendency to be born. Unfortunately, his works have been lost, and we have no chance to see them. Qingzhao's mother is Wang's granddaughter, and Wang is the top scholar. It is said that she is very knowledgeable. Therefore, Li Qingzhao's family studies can be said to be very profound.
Her husband, Zhao Mingcheng (Telford), made great efforts in archaeology and became famous all over the world with the book "The Story of the Stone". Zhao Mingcheng's father, Tingzhi Zhao, is a prime minister and a native of Zhucheng. He got married at the age of twenty in the same year as Qingzhao. At that time, Zhao Mingcheng was a student. Although he is the son of the Prime Minister, he is not used to wearing trousers. The happiness of their boudoir is learning knowledge. Ming Cheng's Jin Shi Lu was written by two people who collected stone carvings of Yi artifacts in the pre-Qin and Han and Tang dynasties, and it took a long time. Li Qingzhao wrote a postscript for this book, mainly describing the compilation of the book and indirectly describing the life of the couple. The content is roughly as follows: The husband and wife light candles at work every night, sometimes arrange book signatures, sometimes criticize each other's previous generation of calligraphy and painting, and sometimes join some kind of competition at work. For example, if something happens to a page or even a line of a book, whoever makes a mistake will make tea and offer it. This kind of gambling sometimes tilts the teacup in your arms and changes clothes with a smile. From this interesting boudoir pleasure, it should be easy to see that both of them are extremely intelligent people with similar knowledge.
Li Qingzhao is versatile. She can write words, poetry, writing and drawing. One of her "Pipa Pictures" has been preserved until the Ming Dynasty. No matter how far you go, you have to come back at the critical moment. The Qing Dynasty happened to be in the troubled times of great changes in the south of the Yangtze River. The Northern Song Dynasty was on the verge of doomsday, and the Jin people in the north invaded the south continuously. This is the famous difficulty of Jingkang in history. But the more troubled times, the more women are needed, so it is always troubled times. Li Qingzhao's ci plays a unique role again and again in China. Compared with Emperor Daojun who was infatuated with the famous prostitute Li Shishi at that time, it obviously played an outline role. The couple began to cope with the disaster, trying to let the disaster wash away the vain level of being lucky and seek the inside story of life.
This exile allowed them to cross the river from Shandong to Sunan and Jinling, but it did harm to Zhao Mingcheng's health. He fell ill the year after he arrived in Nanjing. Seeing him clearly, the scenery is different, his eyes are different from the rivers and mountains, and his mood is low. The land under their feet has given them so many strange things and so much painful despair, but they have no intention of resentment. It is that they touch it with warm palms, let it feel the heat of civilization and let it enter the history of culture. After Ming Cheng's death, Qingzhao fell into a tragic predicament. Twenty-nine years of husband and wife, intimate feelings. Looking back on the past, what she regrets in the end are those memories and mourning, the 29 years she spent with Ming Cheng, and the most sad thing for her is the loss of her intimate husband in exile.
In her later years, her life was very miserable, so to speak, she had no fixed place, but Jinhua was the majority. Her grandfather, husband and family are celebrities, and she herself has been praised for a while. However, her old age was still lonely. After Nandu Chen arrived in Shaoxing, he gradually settled down, and everyone had a good time in the beautiful city Lin 'an. At first glance, being in a foreign land is full of strange things, and the original self will become more and more fragile and even assimilated by a foreign land. In fact, things are far from simple. Everything in a foreign land will evoke thoughts of yourself from the opposite side and the side, and the scenery in a foreign land will remind people of the starting point of their lives, so the more they are in a foreign land, the more they will evoke their homesickness. Li Qingzhao began to sing Shuangxi, which was out of step with the dignitaries at that time. Moreover, it was slandered by these people. In this environment, she quietly sang "Wujiang is cold in the south and water is cold in the north." It's touching.
Li Qingzhao was forgotten by the dignitaries in Du Nan, and even the year of her death could not be found in the history books. According to the general inference, she lived about 60 years old. To succeed, a great writer must have three superior conditions: first, he must have rich emotions; Second, we must have fantastic ideals; Third, we must have unique creativity. Because there is no rich emotion, it is tantamount to losing the life of literature; Without fantastic ideals, it is not easy to reach an ethereal and broad realm; No creative ability, just imitating predecessors, never establishing a unique style. Among the poets in the Northern Song Dynasty, there are all kinds of emotions, ideals and creativity, but Su Shi and Qin Guan are unique and self-contained. Secondly, the only person who should be counted is Li Qingzhao.
