This poem is from Yuan Yuanqu by Wu, a poet in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and was written in Xin Maochu 165 1 in the eighth year of Shunzhi. The original text is: "It is beautiful to lose all six armies."
Chen Yuanyuan was one of the world-famous "Eight Colourful Beauty of Qinhuai" in the late Ming Dynasty, and was more famous than the gentle and lovely Dong Xiaowan at that time. Chen Yuanyuan was first presented to Emperor Chongzhen by Tian Hong, but she was not favored by Chongzhen, and was later accepted as a concubine by Wu Sangui.
Born in Chen Yuanyuan.
Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute, came from a peddler's family. When she was a girl, she was shocked by her beauty. She has been entangled with several men all her life and is remembered for her ambiguous relationship with Wu Sangui. The robbery of Chen Yuanyuan and the fall of Wu Sangui completely ruined the hope of the revival of the Ming Dynasty, and also led to the collapse of the Wu Sangui family.
No wonder Wu Meicun, a generation of "Poetic History", lamented Wu Sangui's "rushing to the crown and being angry as a beauty" and Chen Yuanyuan's "a generation of red makeup as a history" in his "Qinyuan Qu".
