It was impossible for Cai Yong to win the top prize, but it was a fact that his talent was recognized by the world at that time. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there were many fallacies in his school books, so he revised and wrote them on stone tablets and stood outside the university. At that time, the later generations of students all corrected the classics on this stone and read what Mo wrote every day. These stone tablets were damaged in the turmoil and the fire in Luoyang. After more than 1,8 years, farmers in the suburbs of Luoyang dug up several stones with handwriting on them when plowing the fields. They were identified as Cai Yong's calligraphy in those days and are now treasured in the History Museum.
Cai Yong is a great writer and calligrapher, and Liang Wudi called him: "Cai Yong's book is full of backbone, refreshing as if it were divine power." Fan Wenlan, a contemporary historian, said: "The art of writing in the Han Dynasty reached the highest level when writing stone classics in Cai Yong." His handwriting is put in order but not rigid, quiet and lively. In addition to Jiaping Shijing, it is said that Cao Ebei was also written by him, with natural composition, strong brushwork, and ups and downs of words, without seeking beauty, but with simple and naive interest.
in addition, Cai Yong is also good at astronomy, mathematics and physics, and he is a leader of literary circles in Luoyang. For example, Yang Ci, Yu Can, Ma Yuebei and Cao Cao, who later became the master of a generation, often went to Cai Fu and asked Cai Yong for advice.
Cai Wenji was born in such a family, and since he was a child, it is natural that he is knowledgeable, literate, good at poetry and prose, eloquent and melodious. It can be said that Cai Wenji had a happy childhood, but unfortunately, the change of the current situation interrupted this happiness.
The corruption of the Eastern Han government finally led to the Huang Zhongjun Uprising, which expanded the local power represented by the powerful landlords. After the general blades were killed by ten eunuchs, Dong Zhuo marched into Luoyang to kill ten attendants and took control of the state affairs. In order to consolidate his rule, Dong Zhuo deliberately wooed Cai Yong, who was famous in Beijing, and promoted him to three levels a day, three times a week, worshiping the corps commander, and even later named him Hou of Levin. Dong Zhuo's retrogression in the DPRK caused the joint opposition of various local forces. Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved to Chang 'an, and Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu. Cai Yong was also punished by Tingwei, and Cai Yong asked him to cut off his head in order to complete the History of Han Dynasty. The scholar-officials also expressed much pity and saved him. Ma Ribei even said, "Bo Yi has learned from the world, but is it disappointing to punish him?" But in the end, he will inevitably die, leaving many topics for discussion in vain, saying that he is "a writer with San Lv and a filial piety." Comparing him to Qu Yuan in literature, and comparing him to Zeng Shen and worshipping his son in filial piety, there are certainly many people who speak ill of him.
after dong Zhuo's death, his Ministry will capture Chang' an again, and the situation of warlord scuffle finally took shape. Qiang Hu Fan soldiers seized the opportunity to plunder the Central Plains area. In the "Middle-earth people are fragile, all the soldiers are Hu Qiang, and they hunt the besieged city vertically, and they know what they are going to do." The horse hangs a man's head, the horse carries a woman, and the long drive into the desert is dangerous and blocked. " Under the situation, Cai Wenji and many captive women were taken to the southern Xiongnu.
This state of mind is imaginable. At the beginning, Xi Jun married King Wusun and Wang Zhaojun married Huhanye, which finally took up his status. However, because he was far away from home, it produced infinite desolation, not to mention that Cai Wenji was still captured! Suffered from the abuse and flogging of the soldiers, she stepped into the uncertain future step by step. She was twenty-three years old this year, and she has been gone for twelve years.
In these twelve years, she married Zuo Xianwang, a hunk who was a tiger's back, and suffered the pain of living in a foreign land and customs. Of course, she also gave birth to two sons for Zuo Xianwang. The older one is Adiguai, and the younger one is Ameguai. She also learned to play "Hu Jia" and learned some foreign languages.
in these twelve years, Cao Cao has basically wiped out the northern heroes, welcomed Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty from Chang 'an to Xuchang, and later moved to Luoyang. Cao Cao became prime minister, holding the son of heaven to make the princes. Once a person can catch his breath, he can think of the past, especially when he is full of ambition. In this memory, he thinks of his childhood teacher Cai Yong's teaching, and thinks that the teacher has no son but only one daughter. When he learned that the girl had been caught in the southern Xiongnu, he immediately sent Zhou Jin as an envoy, carrying two hundred gold and a pair of white walls to redeem her.
It is painful for Cai Wenji to be kidnapped for many years. Now, once she is going to end her 12-year life, she will leave Zuo Xianwang, who has a strong love for herself, and her two innocent sons, and she can't tell whether it is sad or happy. She only feels heartbroken and tears like rain. At the urging of the Chinese envoy, she boarded the bus in a trance and left, while the wheels stumbled.
After the Southern Huns went to Cai Wenji, they rolled reed leaves every moonlit night, making a plaintive sound, imitating Cai Wenji's "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" and becoming a lasting local tune. It is very popular for people in the Central Plains to play "Eighteen Pa of Hu Jia" with Hu Qin and Zheng. It is said that this fashion in the Central Plains began with her last husband, Dong Si.
when this melody for the flageolet was made by Lady Cai, when long ago one by one she sang its eighteen stanzas;
even the Tartars were shedding tears into the border grasses, and the envoy of China was heart-broken, turning back home with his escort.
Li Qi, a native of the Tang Dynasty, expressed such feelings.
Cai Wenji is miserable. "Returning to her native land" and "Mother-child reunion" are both beautiful, which everyone should enjoy, but she can't have it both ways.
Cai Wenji returned to his hometown, Chenliu County, under Zhou Jin's care, but broken walls had no place to live. Under Cao Cao's arrangement, she married Dong Si, a captain of Abel Tamata. She was thirty-five years old this year, and the famous "Battle of Red Cliffs" broke out in 28 AD.
The rough fate seems to follow the poor orphan girl and never relax. In the second year after her marriage, she relied on her and her husband committed a crime and died. She did not care about bad blood and went to Cao Cao's prime minister's office to plead.
