Four talented women: Cai Wenji, Li Qingzhao, Zhuo Wenjun, Shangguan Wan'er
Cai Wenji
Cai Wenji's name is Yan, also known as Wenji and Mingji. Her father is the famous scholar Cai Yong.
The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Cao and Wei Dynasties was an era full of blood and tears, an era full of grief, anger and pain. Poets collected the blood and tears, grief, anger and pain stoically and brewed a song of hatred. A sad song for a sad time. Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Wang Can... are all outstanding male singers produced in this era. In this majestic, high-pitched, and desolate chorus of the era, a passionate soprano is particularly eye-catching. She has experienced it all her life. Cai Wenji, a female writer who suffered from separation during the war.
When Cai Wenji married Dong Si, their married life was not very harmonious at first. Cai Wenji suffered from turmoil and sorrow, and was often in a trance. However, Dong Si was in his prime and was a talented person. He was familiar with history and music, and had a high self-esteem. Naturally, he felt inadequate towards Cai Wenji. However, due to the instructions of the prime minister, he had no choice but to accept her. In the second year after their marriage, Dong Si committed a crime and deserved death. She ignored the resentment and came to Cao Cao's prime minister's house to plead for mercy. Cao Cao thought of his old friendship with Cai Yong and Cai Wenji's tragic life experience. If Dong Si was executed, Wenji would be unable to survive, so he forgave Dong Si.
From then on, Dong Si was grateful for his wife's kindness and re-evaluated Cai Wenji. The couple also saw through the world, went up the Luo River, and lived in the foothills of the mountains with beautiful scenery and lush forests. Several years later, Cao Cao passed by here while hunting and even went to visit. Cai Wenji and Dong Si had a son and a daughter, and the daughter married Sima Yi's son Sima Shi.
Wenji married three times in her life, and her fate was bumpy. Ding Xie described her marriage in "Cai Bojie's Ode to Women":
The daughter of Yi Dazong was naturally blessed by the gods. ;
On the twenty-eighth day of the Chinese New Year, I wear the freshness of Deng Lin.
The six columns of the Ming Dynasty are still noble, and they obey the language of women's history;
After participating in the Ming Dynasty's instructions in the court, one can understand clearly and understand the clouds.
On the lunar month of the third spring, it will return to the sky;
Trailing the light clothes of Danluo, wearing the golden and green pearls.
I am envious of the prosperity and prosperity, but I am sad that the frost and frost have multiplied;
How can we expect to grow old together, and we will be happy for the rest of the years.
Wenji is knowledgeable and talented, and her musical talent has been outstanding since she was a child. When she was 6 years old, she heard her father playing the piano in the hall, and she heard the sound of her father breaking the first string through the wall. His father was surprised and deliberately broke the fourth string, but she pointed it out again. When she grew up, she became a musical genius. She missed her homeland day and night in the Hu region. After returning to the Han Dynasty, she referred to the tones of the Hu people and combined it with her own tragic experience to compose the sad, melancholy and heart-breaking music piece "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia". After marrying Dong Si, she was sentimental and confused and composed "Sorrow and Anger". "Poetry" is the first autobiographical five-character narrative poem in the history of Chinese poetry (of course some people think it is a forgery).
According to legend, when Cai Wenji was interceding for Dong Si, Cao Cao saw that Cai Wenji was bareheaded in the severe winter, and he couldn't bear it. He ordered someone to take a turban, shoes and socks to put on for her, and let her wear them. Before Dong Si returned, he stayed in his own home. In a casual conversation, Cao Cao expressed his envy of the original collection of books in Cai Wenji's home. When Cai Wenji told him that all the 4,000 volumes of books stored in his home had been lost after several wars, Cao Cao expressed deep disappointment. When he heard that Cai Wenji could recite 400 volumes, he was overjoyed, so Cai Wenji wrote them from memory. Four hundred articles were published, all of which were error-free, which shows Cai Wenji's high talent. Gu Fang continues the history of Han Dynasty, and the Spring and Autumn Period is written with blood and tears. In addition to "Eighteen Beats of Hujia", Cai Wenji's handed down works also include "Poem of Sorrow and Indignation", which is known as the first autobiographical five-character narrative poem created by a literati in the history of Chinese poetry. "The true feelings are so deep that they naturally become written", which is passionate and poignant, and is a unique entity among Jian'an poems.
Li Qingzhao
Li Qingzhao (1084-1155), also known as Yi'an Jushi, was an outstanding female writer in the Southern Song Dynasty and a native of Zhangqiu Mingshui (now Jinan). Famous for his ci, he is also a poet and essayist, and is the author of ci theory. He enjoys a high reputation in the history of Chinese literature.

The magnificent mountains and rivers of Qilu nurtured Qingzhao's creative spirituality, and she became famous and distinguished as a girl.
After their marriage, Qingzhao and her husband Zhao Ming were in love with each other and became like glue, "a husband is like a good friend." However, the good times did not last long. The struggle between the old and new parties in the DPRK intensified. A pair of mandarin ducks were torn apart alive. Zhao and Li looked at each other across the river and suffered from lovesickness.
Later, the Jin Dynasty’s army marched southward, and the Southern Song Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent, destroying the Great Wall. Zhao Mingcheng was full of love and passion, but unfortunately he died before he left the army. Witnessing the ruin of her country and her family, Qingzhao was "unyielding in spite of the hardships and poverty". In her later years when she was "searching, deserted, and miserable", she worked hard to compile the "Inscriptions on Gold and Stone" to complete her husband's unfinished work.
Shangguan Wan'er
Shangguan Wan'er (664-710) was a female poet of the Tang Dynasty. A native of Shaanxian County, Shaanzhou (now part of Henan). Granddaughter of Shangguan Yi. The first female prime minister, she inherited all the talents of her grandfather. She was good at poetry and had extremely high talent.
When she was fourteen years old, she was voluptuous and gorgeous, graceful and light, with every frown and smile, her own style. In addition, she was born with intelligence, her sight was recited, her literary talent was outstanding, and she could write a thousand words. In the second year of Yifeng's reign, Shangguan Wan'er was summoned to the palace by Wu Zetian, who made a proposition on the spot and asked her to write an article accordingly. Shangguan Wan'er's writing was completed in a matter of seconds without adding any details. It is round and smooth, with the harmonious sound of leaves, especially her calligraphy, which is beautiful and imitates hairpin flowers. Wu Zetian was overjoyed after seeing this, and immediately ordered her to be removed from her status as a slave and let her take charge of the palace's imperial edicts. After that, most of the imperial edicts issued by Wu Zetian were written by Shangguan Wan'er. The queen repeatedly exclaimed: "This woman is absolutely extraordinary!"
Wan'er struggled in the turbulent era and became the "uncrowned queen" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Wisdom, body, aura, talent... Wan'er relied on these magic weapons to shuttle among the important officials in the court, composing a beautiful and sad chapter of life.
Zhuo Wenjun
A native of Linqiong in the Western Han Dynasty, a talented woman in the Han Dynasty. She was beautiful and talented, good at playing the piano, and her family was rich.
Zhuo Wenjun is naturally beautiful, has a good appearance, is smart and trustworthy since childhood, is erudite and knowledgeable, and is proficient in poetry and poetry. He is also good at music and has unparalleled piano skills.
She is the daughter of Prince Zhuo and her husband is widowed. Many celebrities proposed to her, but she fell in love with the poor scholar Sima Xiangru. Sima Xiangru could play the piano and compose poems, and Zhuo Wenjun understood his talents and emotions, and fell in love with him wholeheartedly. The world. Sima Xiangru's family had nothing, so after Zhuo Wenjun eloped with him, he opened a wine shop and acted as the shopkeeper himself, while Wenjun sold wine and Xiangru worked as a handyman, not afraid of ridicule. Prince Houzhuo helped the two of them out of face, and they lived a prosperous life from then on. Later, Sima Xiangru finally became famous all over the world. The story of Wenjun running to Xiangru at night became popular among the people and was used as material for later novels and operas.
Sima Xiangru’s literary talents, Zhuo Wenjun’s beauty, and his reputation as a man selling wine, growing up with grudges, and Nagato’s spiritual gifts; Feng Chan’s posthumous letter has been passed down as an eternal legend. There is also the famous song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" that has been circulated in the world: "The phoenix comes back to its hometown and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix. There is a beautiful girl in this hall. The people in the room are so poisonous to my intestines. How can I hand it over?" "Mandarin ducks." And Zhuo Wenjun's sad "Baitou Yin": "Today's drinking party, the water in the ditch will stop tomorrow, and the water in the ditch will flow from east to west. There is no need to cry when getting married, and I wish to be married." The white heads of men are not separated from each other. Why do the rods curl up? How do the fishes migrate? A man is loyal, so why use a money and a knife? Still in the imperial court, there is a new sound! There are mandarin ducks in the Jinshui, and there is water in the Han Palace. The things are new, and the people of the world are so angry that they don't realize it! Take a rest, grow old and say goodbye, try your best not to think about my concubine, and stay with me for a long time."
Feng Qiuhuang
Zhuo Wenjun, a beautiful and intelligent man, A woman who is good at poetry and essays and is good at playing the piano. What's sad is that at the young age of seventeen, she became a widow in her parents' family. One day at a banquet, Zhuo Wenjun, who had admired Sima Xiangru's talent for a long time, fell in love at first sight because of Sima Xiangru's passionate and bold confession of his song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix". However, the love between them was strongly obstructed by their father. Relying on his longing for love, determination in pursuing happiness, and extraordinary courage, Zhuo Wenjun resolutely escaped from Zhuo Mansion in the dark night and eloped with the person he loved deeply. Danglong sells wine for a living. Life is difficult, but the relationship between the two grows deeper. This is also the most romantic night running story among love stories that has been circulated to this day.
Since ancient times, most men have always been disappointing. Sima Xiangru is no exception. When he showed some success in his career and was finally recommended to be an official, he lived in the capital for a long time, admired all the beauties in the world, and was proud of his officialdom, so he actually wanted to abandon his wife and take concubines. The days of adversity, passion, and deep love have long been forgotten now.
Where can I remember that there is a wife thousands of miles away who misses her husband day and night. Wenjun stayed alone in his empty house, living a lonely life day after day, year after year. The song "Baitoulu", "...I heard that you had two ideas, so I came here to make a decision. I wish to win the heart of the same person and live forever...." expresses her persistence and yearning for love as well as a woman's unique determination and determination. Tenacity. It also adds a bit of beautiful sadness to their stories.
Finally one day, Sima Xiangru sent a thirteen-character letter to his wife: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety million. The smart Zhuo Wenjun burst into tears after reading it. There is only one "100 million" missing in a line of numbers. Doesn't the absence of 100 million indicate that her husband is "unintentional" towards her? Her heart is as cold as water. With great sadness, I replied with a "Poem of Resentful Man".
His poem says: After a farewell, the two places hang together. Although it was March or April, who knew it would be five or six years ago. The lyre has no intention of playing, the eight-line script cannot be passed down, the nine-link chain is broken in the middle, and the gaze of the ten-mile long pavilion is about to penetrate. Hundreds of thoughts, thousands of thoughts, all helpless to complain. There are thousands of words to talk about, and nothing to do but sit on the railing for ten times. Chongjiu climbs high to see the lone wild geese. In August and mid-autumn, the moon is full but not round. In July and a half, I hold a candle and burn incense and ask the sky. In the dog days of June, I shake my fan and feel chilled. In May, pomegranates are like water, but they are watered by bursts of cold rain. In April, the loquats are not yet yellow, and I want to look in the mirror and feel confused. Suddenly, in March, the peach blossoms drifted with the water, and in February, the kite string broke. Hey, Lang, Lang, I wish that in the next life, you would be a girl and I would be a boy.
After reading his wife’s letter, Sima Xiangru couldn’t help but marvel at his wife’s talent. Thinking back on the love between husband and wife in the past, I was so ashamed that I never mentioned the matter of my surviving wife taking concubines again. This poem has become the representative digital poem of Zhuo Wenjun's life. Read it carefully, and the intertwined feelings of love and hate emerge vividly on the page.
Zhuo Wenjun is smart. She used her wisdom to save her husband's betrayal. She worked hard on her love and marriage, and finally came to the end of her hardships. In the end, they did not abandon their initial love and final persistence. This also makes their story turn over and over again, becoming a love story above the world.
Zhuo Wenjun is a talented woman who is thoughtful, courageous, and dares to love and hate. Her life should be worth it. For example, running at night is full of romance, such as love at first sight that can be encountered but cannot be sought, such as staying with the person you love until you grow old hand in hand, etc. If a woman is like this all her life, what more can a husband ask for? Later, people wrote a poem based on this incident: "Wangjiang Pavilion"
When the beautiful woman is as beautiful as a flower, she does not remember that her heart is boundless.
I have failed to make a promise tonight, please take pity on me for not having a home yet.
The four characters at the beginning of the sentence combined are: "I will live up to you."
