Are these talented women of ancient times?

The talented woman of the original poster said: The woman in the romantic field

As for what a "talented woman" is, everyone has their own preferences.

After searching on the Internet, I prefer this type:

女好

The first well-documented heroine in Chinese history. The martial arts of the Shang Dynasty were most prosperous during the period of Emperor Gaozong Wuding of the Shang Dynasty. Wu Ding expanded the territory of the Shang Dynasty several times through a series of wars. The general who led troops to conquer east and west for Wu Ding was his queen Fuhao. Oracle records say that one summer, a war broke out on the northern border, and the two sides were at loggerheads. Fu Hao volunteered and asked to lead troops there, but Wu Ding was hesitant. After divination, he decided to send Fu Hao to raise troops, and the result was a great victory. After that, Wu Ding made her the commander-in-chief. From then on, she conquered east and west and defeated more than 20 small and independent countries around her. Not only could Fuhao lead troops in war, but she was also the main priest of the country. She was often ordered to preside over various rituals such as offering sacrifices to heaven, ancestors, and sacred springs, and was also a divination officer. The Shang Dynasty was a country that believed in ghosts and gods. It was said that "the major affairs of the country were sacrifices and military affairs." Fu Hao is good at fighting, and has the power of sacrifice and divination. Even Wu Ding may be afraid of her.

Mulan

The story of Mulan joining the army in place of her father is a household name, and it became even more famous around the world after it was made into an animated film by Hollywood. The real Hua Mulan did exist in history, her birth and death dates are unknown, she was a daughter of the Wei family, a native of Eastern Wei Village in Qiaocheng, present-day Qiaocheng District, Bozhou City, Western Han Dynasty. Also known as Hua Hu, later known as Hua Mulan. His father's name was Ying, and he was an official knight in the early Han Dynasty. Mulan followed her father's ambition and practiced martial arts since she was a child, especially swordsmanship. In the 14th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and 166 BC, the Xiongnu elder Shanyu, the son of Maodun Shanyu, named Jizhou, entered the fortress in large numbers, killing and plundering many people. Emperor Wen was going to conquer the people of the world to serve as his emperor. Mulan's father was about to go, but he was already old and his younger brother was still young. Mulan pitied her father for his old age, so she went to war on his father's behalf. Mulan started out as a soldier and became a minor with merit. Later, he was promoted to a general and guarded the southern foothills of Yanshan Mountain. He gallops across the battlefield, seizes flags and beheads generals, attacks cities and seizes territory, and is victorious in every direction, but there is no one who can take the lead. The Chanyu retreated. Mulan served in the army for twelve years and won many honors, but no one knew she was a woman. After Hou Kai returned, the emperor commended his merits and granted him the title of Shangshulang. When he supported the army and returned Qiao, he released his military uniforms and wore women's Guo, everyone who walked with him was horrified. Mulan's tomb is located in the north of Wei Village in the east of Bozhou City. It has a tall mound, surrounded by pines, and a forest of green bamboos. The villagers have built a temple to commemorate Mulan's birthday on the eighth day of April every year. The place where Mulan guarded the border is Quni, which is now Shunping County, Hebei Province. In order to appreciate Mulan's kindness, the people there have built temples and ancestral halls for Mulan since the Han Dynasty. Through all generations, cigarettes have continued. In the first year of Emperor Qianfeng's reign in the Tang Dynasty, Mulan was posthumously named "General Xiaolie". In this year, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty and Wu Zetian returned to the imperial court after enshrining Zen in Mount Tai. They passed through Bozhou and went to the Laojun Temple and Mulan Temple in Bozhou. They named Laozi the "Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan" and Mulan the "General Xiaolie".

Lü Mu

Lü Mu (? ~ AD 18) was one of the earliest leaders of the peasant uprising against Wang Mang’s rule in the late Western Han Dynasty. She was also the first female peasant uprising in Chinese history. leader. She is from Langyahaiqu (now part of Rizhao Donggang District). Zi Luyu was appointed as a tour guide in the county and was in charge of patrolling and arresting people. In the first year of Tianfeng reign of Wang Mang (AD 14), Lu Yu was killed by the county magistrate because he did not follow the county magistrate's instructions to punish the people who could not pay taxes. Full of grief and anger, Lu's mother vowed to avenge her son. She took out all her family property, and after some careful planning, she quickly gathered a team of hundreds of people to train troops and wait for the opportunity. In the fourth year of Tianfeng (AD 17), Lu's mother climbed to the earth platform at the west foot of Kuishan Mountain to worship heaven. She called herself "general" and led the uprising army to attack Haiqu City. After a fierce battle, the county magistrate was captured alive and executed. From then on, Lu's mother became famous, and poor farmers from far and near defected to her. Soon, the rebel army grew to tens of thousands. Lu Mu's uprising ignited the torch of resistance to Wang Mang's rule, and soon formed a prairie fire that swept across the country. In the fifth year of Tianfeng (AD 18), Lu's mother died of illness. Most of her soldiers joined the Red Eyebrow Army, and the rest defected to the peasant uprising armies such as Qingdu and Tongma.

Chi Zhaoping

The heroine of the peasant uprising in the Western Han Dynasty. Chi Zhaoping was from the south of Pingyuan County. His birth and death dates are unknown. Chi Zhaoping also gathered thousands of people in the river blockage in the autumn of the same year as Lu Mu's uprising and held an uprising southwest of Pingyuan City. They resisted official taxes, destroyed the government offices, killed the gentry, plundered the nobles, helped the weak, and divided the government. Grain and poor people, her reputation was great for a while, and she became an outstanding female leader of the peasant uprising among the heroes. Due to the development of the struggle situation, in the summer of AD 22, the third year of Emperor Dihuang, Chi Zhaoping's tribe and Xu Yiqing's tribe merged and fought in Pingyuan, Fuping, Leling, Wudi, Yanshan and other places. The team quickly developed to 100,000 people. This peasant uprising army not only attacked counties and counties, killed corrupt officials, robbed government treasuries, smashed local prisons, rescued innocent people in jail, and dealt a heavy blow to Wang Mang's ruling group; at the same time, they also attacked local powerful people. They formed camps, gatherings, and township militia groups, ruthlessly attacked the eunuchs, princes, and princes, confiscated the food and property they exploited, and distributed them to the poor people, which was deeply supported by the majority of the poor. The storm of the rebel army shook the political foundation of Wang Mang's ruling group, and it completely collapsed in 23 AD, the fourth year of Emperor Di Huang's reign. As a result, Chi Zhaoping's name and achievements have also been recorded in the history of peasant uprisings in Qin and Han Dynasties.

Mrs. Xian

Prime Minister Zhou Enlai once praised Mrs. Xian as "the first female hero in China".

Mrs. Xian, about 520-601, was an outstanding political leader of the Baiyue tribe of the Lingnan Li tribe. She was born in a family of chiefs. She was "wise and wise at a young age, and full of strategies". She was good at "nurturing the people, marching with troops, and subduing the various countries." She was an outstanding leader from her youth. She often advises her relatives to do good deeds and "bond one's faith to the hometown". She also acts impartially and does not show personal favoritism. Therefore, she has great prestige in the village and is deeply supported and loved by the local people. In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty (589), Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty marched into Lingnan, but was resisted by old ministers of the Chen Dynasty and some ethnic minorities. Upon learning of this, Mrs. Submission to the Sui Dynasty allowed the Sui army to advance to Guangzhou and finally complete the unification of the Lingnan region. Mrs. Xian was also named Mrs. Qiaoguo. Mrs. Xian is the leader of the Lingnan ethnic minority. She has her own armed forces and has the conditions to rule the roost. However, when the country was in chaos and division, she did not engage in separation and rule, but always supported the feudal court and safeguarded the unity of the motherland. She became the main pillar in supporting the Liang and Chen generations in the Southern Dynasties and the Sui and early Tang Dynasties to stabilize the political situation in the Pearl River Basin. It has made important contributions to promoting local political and socio-economic development. In addition, Mrs. Xian also played an active role in re-establishing the county system in Hainan Island. Because the Liang Dynasty adopted Mrs. Xian's suggestion and restored the system of counties and counties in the Li region of Hainan Island, the relationship between the Central Plains and Hainan Island became increasingly close, which was conducive to the unification of the motherland and the social and economic development of the Li region. Mrs. Xian always upheld centralization of power and the unity of the motherland and opposed separatism, which deeply affected her descendants. Later, her grandson Feng Ang resolutely refused to claim the throne and joined the Tang Dynasty, making great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's unification of the Lingnan region. This is directly related to her setting an example and educating her children and grandchildren to put the country first. In order to commemorate her great achievements and high integrity, later generations built many temples in Gao, Lei, Hua, Qin, Lian and other prefectures of Guangdong and Guangxi. Among them, there are often ten or twenty temples in Maoming, Huaxian, Dianbai and other counties. . There is a Madame Junwang Temple in Yazhou, Hainan Island, and a Madame Xian Temple is also built in Danxian County and other places.

Princess Pingyang

The third daughter of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, and the beloved daughter of Li Yuan's first wife, Dou. She is a true heroine, and her talents and courage are not inferior to those of her brothers. Li Yuan married his third daughter to the military general Chai Shao. This Chai Shao ranked fourteenth among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty. He had outstanding strategies and was good at defeating more with less. He was responsible for the elimination of Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande. He was still the main general in destroying Liang Shidu, the last opponent of the Tang Dynasty. The news of Li Yuan's rebellion came, and Princess Pingyang contacted the rebels against the Sui Dynasty everywhere. This young woman, with her superhuman courage and intelligence, recruited four or five rebel armies that already had a considerable scale in the world in more than three months. The rebel army led by Princess Pingyang was so powerful that they successively captured Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shiping. This rebel army, led by a woman, has very strict military discipline. Princess Pingyang must carry out her orders, and the entire army respects her. In those years of rebellion, this army gained widespread support. The common people called Princess Pingyang "Ms. Li" and her army the "Women's Army". Princess Pingyang's main task at this time was to defend Shanxi, the base camp of the Li family. The place where she was stationed was Niangziguan. Niangzi Pass is located on Mianshan Mountain in the northeast of Pingding County, Shanxi Province. It is the throat of entering and leaving Shanxi.

A native of Beichenfang, Huai'an, originally from Chizhou, which is now Guichi County, Anhui Province. Both her grandfather and father were military commanders, and Liang Hongyu trained in kung fu by serving her father and brother since she was a child. The story of Liang Hongyu beating the drums to repel the Jin soldiers is still recited by people today. In the spring of the fourth year of Jianyan, the Jin army returned north from Hangzhou after plundering it. Han Shizhong's troops have been dispatched urgently, advancing hand in hand along both sides of the canal, seizing Jinshan and Jiaoshan in the Jingkou area, specifically to intercept Jin Wushu's return route. On that day, Jin Wushu wrote a letter of war to Han Shizhong and agreed to start the war the next day. The next morning, Liang Hongyu had already finished her preparations. She was wearing a golden phoenix crown inlaid with eight treasures on the tail of a pheasant, a collar of golden armor, and a white jade belt surrounding a coiled dragon. She was sitting on the Chinese army's building ship directing the battle. At the fiercest moment, Liang Hongyu personally beat drums to cheer up, and the morale of the Song army was a hundred times higher. After a day of fighting, the Jin army was frightened, and Jin Wushu's army was trapped in Huangtiandang. Han Shizhong used Liang Hongyu's strategy to surround the enemy army for forty-eight days with 8,000 Song troops and 100,000 Jin troops with less than ten times the enemy's strength, which made him famous in China. Huang Tiandang's battle frightened the Jin army, and they no longer dared to cross the Yangtze River and invade south. Later, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Zhang Jun joined the three-pronged Northern Expedition. Liang Hongyu specially trained a team of female soldiers and repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. After Yue Fei was killed, Han Shizhong resigned angrily and retired to Hangzhou West Lake with Liang Hongyu. In 1151, Han Shizhong died of illness.

Shandong is one of the regions with the heaviest burden. Coupled with successive years of floods and droughts, farmers rely on tree bark and grass roots for food, sell their wives and children, and the young and old are displaced and unable to make a living. In February of the 18th year, Tang Saier, Liu Xin, Bin Hong, Dong Yansheng and others led hundreds of people to revolt and occupied the Xieshipeng Village in Yidu, which quickly grew to tens of thousands. Gao Feng, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard in the Ming Dynasty, led the troops to suppress and was killed. Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, appointed Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan, as the chief military officer, and sent Liu Zhongzuozhi, the general commander of the capital, to lead five thousand people from the capital camp to Shandong at night to surround Shipeng Village. Sai'er of the Tang Dynasty sent people to surrender unexpectedly, saying that there was no food and water in the stronghold, so he planned to escape from Jidao. Liu Shengxin believed it to be true and organized heavy troops to defend Ji Dao. The rebel army broke out at night, killed Liu Zhong, and moved to Anqiu, Zhucheng and other places. However, due to the large number of officers and soldiers, and a sudden sneak attack by Wei Qing, the commander of the Shandong capital, and Wang Zhen, the commander of the Aoshan guards, the army failed in March. In order to search for Tang Sai'er, Zhu Mingting arrested tens of thousands of monk women in Shandong, Beijing and other places, but Tang Sai'er and others escaped safely and ended up unknown. In order to commemorate her, the local people called Shishipeng Village Tangsai Village.

Becoming the only heroine officially registered in Chinese history. After meeting the female general, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty was filled with emotion. He wrote four poems praising her achievements, copied them with his own pen, and gave them to Qin Liangyu: "Learn from Sichuan to make formations, and mandarin ducks hold military talismans in their sleeves. "The reason is that women are willing to accept it, so why should the general be her husband?" "The song of victory is about to come out of the Qing Dynasty, not when Zhaojun comes out of the fortress."

Feng Wanzhen led everyone and wielded swords and spears to kill bravely. The invaders were unable to resist and retreated one after another. The cunning enemy is eager to get out of this hand-to-hand dilemma so that he can shoot with foreign guns.

This battle lasted until dusk, and the brave young men of Xiezhuang killed more than 100 invading troops. The remaining enemies had to abandon their spears and cannons and flee in panic.

If you can bear to see the colors change in the picture, you are willing to make the country fall into ruin.

No matter how much wine you drink, you will shed tears of worry about the country. When it comes to rescue, you should rely on talented people.

At the cost of a hundred thousand heads and blood, the world must be restored.

Bailu Ya’s note:

The history of ancient China is a history of male power. Most of the women played in this process were vassals and embellishments. Some, like Diao Chan and Xi Shi, were at best chess pieces in the hands of men. However, there are also some women such as the above who use their actions to interpret the myth that "women are not inferior to men".

They either demonstrate the simplicity and kindness of the Chinese people with their beautiful moral character, or decorate the palace of Chinese classical culture with their outstanding literary talent, or enrich the heroic and tenacious history of the Chinese people with their indomitable spirit, or they use their own Their ingenuity promotes the development of China's economy, or they promote the progress of Chinese history with their strategic vision. They are outstanding contributors in the long history of China, and they are heroes that future generations will yearn for and admire!
