Which dynasty did Cai Wenji come from?
Late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Who's Cai Wenji?
Cai Wenji is famous for her Moon Hee and mingji, and her father is a famous scholar Cai Yong. Cai Yong is a great writer and calligrapher. He is also good at astronomy, mathematics and physics, and has a good understanding of temperament. Cai Wenji grew up in such a family, and the environment is undoubtedly superior. So she began to contact at an early age. She is not only knowledgeable and literate, but also good at poetry and prose, and has a good temperament.
The first man in Cai Wenji's life:
Cai Wenji's husband's name is Wei Zhongdao. When Cai Wenji 17 years old, she married her husband. Her husband, Wei Zhongdao, is an elegant gentleman. They sing and play the pipa together, which is harmonious and makes the outside very noisy.
Happiness is always short-lived Husband Wei Zhongdao suddenly coughed up blood and died. Cai Wenji was very sad and had to leave. There is nothing to miss in that family: the beloved husband is dead, and there are no children to entertain, leaving only people who bring shame to themselves. "It is better to be at home when my husband dies childless." Go home, leave this sad place and go back to where you came from. It's just that she can't go back to her happy home.
Shortly after Cai Wenji returned home, his father was killed, and his mother was also a strong-willed person. She refused to live alone and gave up cruelly, leaving Wenxi alone in the years of war.
Therefore, this ushered in the second person in Cai Wenji's life:
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the Huns went south, grabbing food, meat, money, clothes and even beautiful women. Cai Wenji was unfortunately robbed. When the Huns arrived, some Hu people knew about Cai Wenji, so they dedicated her to Zuo and started her foreign life. There is no scenery of Ji Moon, poems and songs in the Central Plains, only the boundless sky. For a woman with unparalleled talent, the biggest pain is not that she doesn't have luxury goods, but that she doesn't have anyone who can touch her heart. In order to pass the time, she began to recite the books she had read, memorized them, sketched and daubed them with a homemade pen, over and over again, but inadvertently put the bamboo poles in front of her hometown window on the paper. And Cai Wenji in the huns, a stay, is 12.
12 years later, I finally looked forward to the envoys sent by Cao Cao in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zuo agreed that Moon Hee should be returned to Han, but Moon Hee's two children had to stay. Wenxi's heart full of joy is like a knife. Couples get married for a hundred days overnight, and how can they have no feelings with a person who has lived for twelve years? Even if there is no affection between husband and wife, how can the flesh and blood relatives of mother and son give up?
I'd rather believe Zuo Ai Wenxi! Only under the pressure of Cao Cao, had to promise to let Moon Hee belong to Han. He kept the child only to keep Wenxi. Unfortunately, Wenxi knew he had to leave. This is not Cao Cao's request, but an order. She reluctantly left her two children behind, followed the special envoy of Han, and returned to China after twelve years' absence. Wen Xi and his children don't have to imagine what it will be like after thousands of years of leaving each other. Just flip through the poem "Sorrow and indignation" that I can't bear to read, and everything is vivid:
Heaven binds people's hearts, and it is too late to say goodbye. Life and death are always good, and we can't bear to say goodbye to them.
Hold my neck in front of my son and ask my mother what she wants. When people say that their mother should go, there is no time to return.
My mother has always been kind, so today is even more unkind. I am not an adult, so I don't care.
Seeing this collapse in five days, I was in a trance and crazy. Crying and touching, when you reply to doubts.
On the way back, Wenxi's heart was more mixed than when he was captured. When I come alone, I have no worries. Now, I have the joy of returning to my hometown, the regret of this humiliating life, the fear after returning to Han, and the reluctance and concern for my son.
Cai Wenji returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty and naturally welcomed the third man in her life:
Wenxi returned to her long-gone hometown, leaving only a piece of broken walls. Cao Cao pitied her and betrothed her to the charming Dong Si. At this time, Wenxi married two husbands, almost forty years old. The sand in the desert has worn her face, and several drastic changes have greatly traumatized her spirit. Dong Si, who thinks highly of himself, is naturally unwilling in his heart, but this is the order of the Prime Minister. If he doesn't want to come back, he dare not disobey. This kind of marriage is doomed to be a kind of pain. Although Wenxi entered the life of Dongsili, he could do nothing in front of the tightly locked world in Dongsili.
Moon Xi Xi doesn't complain about Dong Si's neglect. One year after marriage, Dong Si committed a crime when he died, and Cao Cao sentenced him to beheading. Wenxi learned that she didn't want this hard-won quiet life to be destroyed again, and she wasn't sure whether she could bear another retrogression. Life without love is not a happy life, but ordinary days can at least make tired hearts rest. Without thinking about bad blood, she gave her unkempt hair to Cao Cao to plead, and Cao Cao relented and agreed.
After that, Dongsi began to know Wenxi again and slowly tried to enter Wenxi's world. It turns out that this gaunt woman has suffered so many unimaginable blows and humiliations. Although she has never resisted, she has always been strong and has a strong heart. But the strength of this personality is not born to her, but she built it up little by little in order to survive in a bad environment. No matter how strong her heart is, she needs someone to rely on. Later, the husband and wife took pity on each other, saw through the world, settled in Lantian, sang birds and danced in the wind, collected old classics, and continued to write Han books.
The Relationship between Cao Cao and Cai Wenji
Cao Cao and Cai Wenji lived in the same era, and there were many connections between the two celebrities. Therefore, they have always been the focus of attention. Some people think that Cao Cao redeemed Cai Wenji without hesitation when he succeeded, and there must be unforgettable feelings between them; Some people think that Cao Cao's loyalty and redemption to Wenxi is responsible for his old friend Cai Yong, who has a "friendship of protection"; It is also said that Cao Cao was brilliant and redeemed Wenxi only for the sake of prospering the cultural cause of his "kingdom".
The story of Cai Wenji.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the warlords became independent, and the city head was replaced by a flag. Cai Wenji was born in this troubled times, and his uncontrollable fate became more unpredictable. She is the daughter of Cai Yong, a famous writer and calligrapher. She is "well-read and good at temperament". When Cai Wenji was young, his father was exiled to Shuofang (now Inner Mongolia) for offending eunuchs. Dong Zhuo came to power and Cai Yong returned to Luoyang. When she was young, Cai Wenji married Wei Daozi, but unfortunately, her husband died young and she had no children, so she returned to her family. Since then, the world has been in chaos. Her father Cai Yong got Dong Zhuo's support. After Dong Zhuo's death, he was put into prison by Wang Yun and his party and died in prison.
When the country was in chaos, Cai Wenji went into exile with hungry and poor refugees and was robbed by Huns who took advantage of the chaos. Xiongnu Zuo had a good eye for pearls and picked them out among the ragged and listless refugees. Cai Wenji dramatically changed from a prisoner to the wife of Xiongnu Zuo, and began a strange grassland life. After many years, Cai Wenji became more and more familiar with all this and learned some Xiongnu language, but his inner feeling of "being a stranger in a foreign land" probably deepened. And whenever she is homesick, she will play a melodious and desolate tune, and even the tough Huns will feel inexplicably sad.
Cai Wenji stayed in Xiongnu for twelve years and gave birth to two sons. During this period, the lean Cao Cao has been ruling the north. Cao Cao studied in Cai Yong and settled in the north. Suddenly he remembered his teacher. He had no son, only a daughter abducted by the Huns. In order to repay the teacher's kindness, Cao Cao sent messengers to Xiongnu to redeem Cai Wenji with 200 gold and jade. With the arrival of the emissary, Cai Wenji was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, it is mother-child affection, on the other hand, it is her native land. In the end, Cai Wenji chose this country. Wen Xi Gui Han, like Zhaojun Dike, became a favorite creative theme of literati in the future and was interpreted again and again. The return of these two women in the Han Dynasty is two unforgettable episodes in the history of China, vivid and sad. A woman who always becomes a footnote to history often writes about her whole fate.
After returning to Han, he was already in his thirties. Under the arrangement of Cao Cao, she married Dong Si, the young captain of the wasteland. In troubled times, Cai Wenji got married three times in his life, but he couldn't make his own decisions in each marriage. And although I have been married three times, I entered the Biography of Women, which is rare. The Biography of Women records the story of Cai Wenji saving her husband. Dongsi broke the law when he died, so Cai Wenji went to Cao Cao to intercede. At that time, Cao Cao was entertaining officials, celebrities and envoys from afar when Cai Wenji appeared unkempt and kowtowed to Cao Cao, looking sad. Cao Cao said, "I sympathize with you, but the documents have been sent." What should I do? " Cai Wenji said, "There are tens of thousands of horses in your stable, and there are as many brave soldiers in the forest. Why pity a horse leg instead of saving a dying life? " So Cao Cao sent someone to recover Dongsi and pardoned him. Cai Wenji bravely saved her husband and her last marriage.
Cai's book collection originally had more than 4,000 volumes, but unfortunately it was completely destroyed in troubled times and nothing was preserved. Fortunately, Cai Wenji is well-read and can recite more than 400 articles. At Cao Cao's request, she copied more than 400 articles in her memory on paper again, without any omission or mistake, and her calligraphy was exquisite, which made Cao Cao, who loves books, a treasure.
Life experience is the greatest wealth, and the bitterness in troubled times has become the inspiration and source of Cai Wenji's creation. Her most important creation is Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia, which is a great literary work because of the turbulent times. In addition, Cai Wenji also wrote the first autobiographical five-character narrative poem "Poem for the Past". No matter songs and poems, they are sad and heartbreaking. In personal destiny, historical clues have also become vivid and full of sensibility.
Later, Cai Wenji and Dong Si lived in seclusion in Lantian and lived a quiet and comfortable life. The wandering in the first half of life makes the peace in the second half of life precious. Today, the story about Gone with the Wind is still legendary.
