Li Qingzhao had a happy childhood. His father, Li, was a Jinshi of Xining in the 9th year (1076). He studied under Su Shi and was listed as "Four Bachelor's after Su Men". He is the author of Luoyang Famous Garden and so on. My mother is the granddaughter of the top scholar Wang, who is proficient in literature and comes from a famous family. Her parents provided her with a superior living environment and a good living atmosphere. It can be said that Li Qingzhao was trained as a celebrity from an early age, and because of her parents' doting and excellent knowledge, Li Qingzhao developed a gentle but strong character.
Li Qingzhao's first marriage was talked about. Li Qingzhao was only eighteen when she was in Manchuria, and she married her first husband, Zhao Mingcheng. They appreciate each other and fall in love freely. Li Qingzhao's poems in this period are fresh and lively, which shows his happy life. Li Qingzhao said in "Touch Lips and Touch Swing": Touch the swing and get up and adjust your hands. Beside her, the thin Germany hung with crystal dew, and the sweat on her chest permeated with the thin silk robe. Suddenly, a guest came. She was desperate. She walked away without shoes, only wearing socks, and even the gold pin on her head fell off. She ran away shyly and leaned against the door, smelling the fragrance of plum flowers. Li Qingzhao's married life can be described as happiness, because their families are very good and there is no need to worry about life. The daily life of Li Qingzhao and her husband, Zhao Mingcheng, is to enjoy flowers and make poems, play around and collect antique calligraphy and paintings and strange stones. Have nothing to do, make a pot of light tea and test each other's cultural skills. Couples should not be too comfortable.
Li Qingzhao's happy life lasted only one year. In the second year of marriage, Li Qingzhao's father was dismissed because of the dispute between the old and new cronies in the imperial court. Li Qingzhao had to move out of the capital. In the first month of the first year of Song Huizong Daguan (1 107), the Zhao family also declined because of the imperial cronies. Li Qingzhao had to follow the Zhao family back to his private house in Qingzhou and began to live in the village. At this time, although their life is simple, ancient city of qingzhou is a country of cultural relics. The husband and wife have collected a large number of paintings and calligraphy works here, and their life is the same as before. The real turning point of Li Qingzhao's fate was in the second year of Jingkang in Song Qinzong, the first year of Emperor Gaozong's proposal (1 127), when Li Qingzhao was 44 years old, Jingkang changed and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Li Qingzhao and her husband fled south.
In March of the second year of Jingkang (1 127), Zhao Mingcheng went to Jiangning to mourn his mother, and the court of Southern Song Dynasty ordered Zhao Mingcheng to keep jiangning house. At that time, the situation was chaotic, and the capitulators headed by Song Gaozong only wanted to stabilize the regime quickly, refused to go north to the Central Plains and made peace with one heart. Li Qingzhao was very dissatisfied and wrote many satirical poems. He once said that it was too cold to come to Wujiang in the south and too cold to go to the water in the north, and that Wang Dao was in rags in the south and Liu Kun owed him news in the north. In February (1 129), Zhao Mingcheng left Jiangning and fled the city alone. During his escape, Zhao Mingcheng died of illness. At this point, Li Qingzhao lost her family, and she was alone guarding precious cultural relics, wandering in this troubled times.
When Li Qingzhao first met Zhang Ruzhou, who was then the right city Wulang and the military inspection department, he felt that he was gentle and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he gave her meticulous care when she was most lonely and helpless. These made Li Qingzhao feel that Zhang Ruzhou was a reliable person, so she chose to remarry regardless of the secular vision. However, Li Qingzhao did not live a harmonious and beautiful life as she imagined. After marriage, she found that Zhang Ruzhou was a real love rat. He has no knowledge at all. Everything he did was a sham. All his tenderness is to cheat Li Qingzhao's trust. His fundamental purpose is to collect Li Qingzhao's calligraphy and paintings and epigraphy.
Li Qingzhao's collection has been used up in the process of drifting. Zhang Ruzhou, who discovered this fact, revealed his nature and began to carry out domestic violence against Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao is an independent, strong and unyielding woman. She immediately filed a divorce complaint and cited evidence that Zhang Ruzhou's official position was upgraded and falsified. The marriage was divorced, but according to the law at that time, the wife was sentenced to three years in prison. After being rescued by relatives and friends such as Qin Chongli, a bachelor of Hanlin, she was detained for 9 days and then released.
Despite these hardships, Li Qingzhao still has hope for life. She still insists on writing, cares about state affairs, remembers her loved ones and leaves many wonderful poems. In the twenty-five years of Shaoxing (1 155), Li Qingzhao passed away quietly in extreme loneliness and desolation, with persistent thoughts for her dead relatives and infinite disappointment for her hometown.
