What is the legendary life of Li Shishi, the first beauty in the Northern Song Dynasty, who fell in love with Zhou Bangyan and married Song Huizong?

Li Shishi is the daughter of Wang Yin, the owner of a dye house in Bianjing City. When she was three years old, her father named her a Buddhist temple, and the old monk rubbed her roof. She burst into tears. The old monk thought she looked like a Buddhist disciple, because everyone called her "teacher", so he called her Li Shishi.

A year later, my father died in prison for his crime. She gradually became beautiful and fair, and was adopted by Lee Wan, who runs a brothel, and taught her to play chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing.

At that time, Li Shishi became a famous prostitute in Bianjing, and was the object of contention among scholars and descendants. She is quite famous among officials, and the story of her and Song Huizong is also a much-told story. Even Song Huizong wanted to get married when she heard her name.

Gao Qiu and Wang Fu naturally encouraged Song Huizong and vowed not to leak the news. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong was exiled, and the whereabouts of Li Shishi became an eternal mystery.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Shishi, a famous prostitute, and Zhou Bangyan and Chao Chongzhi, famous literati at that time, exchanged poems and talents. Li Shishi also had a famous love triangle with Di Jun, Song Huizong and Zhou Bangyan.

Later, Song Huizong simply called Li Shishi into the Inner Palace and awarded him the title of Li. During the reign of Xuanhe, nomads from Shanxi invaded the south, and Song Huizong passed the throne to Song Qinzong. Li Shishi donated the money given by Hui Zong to help Hebei pay its debts, and begged herself to be a female Taoist priest. In the first year of Jingkang, Song Qinzong ordered Li Shishi not to make decisions. After the fall of Bianjing and the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Shishi's book became a mystery.

According to "Three Dynasties North Alliance", at the beginning of Jingkang, Song Qinzong made peace with the Jin people in search of gold and silver treasures, and ordered the confiscation of the property of the outstanding family including Li Shishi. According to the legend of Li Shishi, Li Shishi knew that he could not escape the disaster of property theft, and voluntarily donated his property as military expenses to help Hebei loyal ministers resist gold, and later became a monk.
