Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng are a match made in heaven. They are regarded as representatives of a happy marriage. Li Qingzhao grew up in a very good cultural environment. Her father is a North Korean official and likes literature very much. Her mother comes from a famous family and is proficient in poetry and songs. Li Qingzhao lived under the influence of literature and art, and she was very smart since she was a child. She wrote a good hand when she was a teenager, and Li Qingzhao was happy and carefree in her girlhood.
I married Zhao Mingcheng at my parents' behest. Although it was said by the matchmaker, it was quite congenial, and my married life was very sweet and happy, which became a model of husband and wife in many people's minds.
After their marriage, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng lived a very harmonious life. At this time, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng followed Qi Mei's example. They are lovers, living a poetic life and living a very comfortable life. In addition, they have the same topics and hobbies, like poetry and ancient paintings, and live a very happy life. Later, forced by the times, he changed from a noble to a civilian, and did not change his pursuit of hobbies.
The couple's love for epigraphy is even more fanatical. They even pawned their clothes as antique calligraphy and painting. They guessed the origin of epigraphy and antiques and asked each other questions pointing to ancient books. The right person drinks tea. I enjoy and live freely in such a difficult life.
Li Qingzhao is better than Zhao Mingcheng, which makes her husband unhappy. With the talent of Li Qingzhao, her husband's concubinage was gradually praised by everyone, which made Zhao Mingcheng feel depressed while appreciating his wife's talent. The mode that women are strong and men are weak makes Zhao Mingcheng more obsessed with stone antiques, hoping to surpass his wife in other fields. They have no children after marriage, and their status in the family is gradually decreasing. After a long time, Zhao Mingcheng had the idea of concubinage.
You know, in ancient times, not having children was the greatest unfilial. No matter how good Li Qingzhao is, she can only acquiesce in her husband's concubinage in order to let the Zhao family have a concubine. Since then, the relationship between the two began to crack.
Zhao Mingcheng's escape from the cold feet made Li Qingzhao disheartened. The behavior of mocking her husband in the poem really made the relationship between husband and wife stiff because of a rebellion. There was a riot in jiangning house at that time, and Zhao Mingcheng, the magistrate of jiangning house, couldn't think of any preventive measures. He even ran away without his wife and the whole city. It is a great shame for her husband to do so.
Li Qingzhao's character is very strong, and she despises her husband's cowardice. The husband and wife are only left in a relatively silent position. Later, they fled to the Wujiang River. Li Qingzhao thought of her husband's disappointing behavior and ignored her husband's random recitation of the poem "Summer quatrains", which made Zhao Mingcheng feel ashamed. Since then, Zhao Mingcheng has been in guilt and remorse, and finally died of illness.
From Li Qingzhao's poems mocking her husband's behavior, we can see his weakness and masculinity as a weak woman. Li Qingzhao is a dazzling pearl in the history of China literature. Her poems and essays are a portrayal of her life. People can see Li Qingzhao's love for life, the loss of her husband after leaving home, and the sadness of the country's ruin and death. Li Qingzhao's heroic spirit is really not lost to men.
