Bai Juyi has indeed left many classic works to future generations, and in his poems, Bai Juyi also has a sentiment of caring for the whole world, and there are also words of "cherishing jade" such as "Pipa Xing". However, after Bai Juyi achieved some achievements in poetry, it may be difficult for him to become a high-quality scholar.
First of all, let’s explain what a domestic geisha is, which is a geisha raised by wealthy families in ancient times. The two most famous ones are Su Fan and Xiao Man. Su Fan is a prostitute and Xiao Man is a prostitute. Bai unexpectedly wrote such a poem: "Cherry mouth, willow slender waist."
Xiaomanyao refers to Geji Xiaoman's own waist.
At that time, Bai Juyi's official position was the fourth rank, and he could only support three girls and musicians. But Bai Juyi's family was very lively. These maids had to be maids, sing and dance, and sometimes even be maids. Under Bai Juyi's cultivation, their abilities and qualities are much better than other maids, and Bai Juyi is proud of this.
He himself stated in the article: "Three irreverent old women became beautiful." In the past 10 years, the geisha in the family has changed three times. Every three years, he felt that they were getting older and uglier, and needed to be replaced by younger and more beautiful ones. However, Bai Juyi was already dying at that time, and the young and beautiful maid was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
When Bai Juyi goes out during the day, he usually takes these two beautiful girls with him, and the other maids also change one after another. These two are elders.
When he was in his 60s, he was paralyzed by an illness. He wanted to sell the most valuable horse in the family so that Su Fan and Xiao Man could get married, but the horse kept barking and Su Fan and Xiao Man said that they would not leave Bai Juyi either. But when Bai Juyi was 70 years old, the two people left him together. I believe that Bai Juyi's achievements in poetry are also related to his charming temperament.
