"Wo Nong Ci" was written by Zhao Mengfu's wife Duan Sheng.
Zhao Mengfu, also known as Zi'ang, a great talent from the south of the Yangtze River in the Yuan Dynasty, was an all-rounder in poetry, calligraphy and painting after Su Dongpo. His regular script was called "Zhao style" and had a great influence on the calligraphy of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. big. His wife's name was Duan Sheng, who was also a talented woman who was good at painting bamboo. She wrote "Ink Bamboo Book" which has been passed down to the world, which is of great benefit to future generations in learning to paint bamboo.
At that time, it was common for celebrities in the society to take concubines. Zhao Mengfu was not willing to be lonely and wanted to take concubines. With his successful official career, Zhao Mengfu, who was nearly fifty years old, also began to admire young and beautiful girls. It was not easy for him to tell his wife clearly, but the literati had a way of telling his wife: "I am a bachelor and you are my wife. Don't you hear that Bachelor Wang has peach leaves and peach roots, and that Bachelor Su has Chaoyun and Chaoyun?" Mu Yun. It’s not too much for me to marry more Wu Ji and Yue girls. You are already in your forties, so you can just occupy Yutangchun.” This word means that you have never heard of Mr. Wang Xianzhi having peach leaves and peach roots. Two concubines, Mr. Su Shi also had two concubines, Chaoyun and Muyun. Therefore, it is not too much for me to marry more concubines; not to mention that you are already over 40 years old, so you just need to occupy the position of the first wife.
After Mrs. Guan read it, she also filled in a "Wo Nong Ci", which not only replaced her husband's answer, but also used it to express her own feelings.
After Zhao Mengfu got the lyrics, he had to give up his original idea of ??taking a concubine. This anecdote in the literary world has since been passed down as a love story between a couple.
