"Of course!" The daughter's answer is not mature.
"Then write a poem about roses." Father tried.
"After the time passed, I didn't stand up and my mood was very chaotic." The daughter pondered for a moment, and two poems blurted out.
Father's face changed slightly. First, he was surprised by his daughter's young age, intelligence and eloquence. Secondly, I am surprised that the word "Jia Que" in my daughter's poem is just the homonym of "Marriage Que".
Sensitive and superstitious father thinks that these two poems of his daughter, on the surface, say that roses are blooming everywhere because they have not been erected for a long time, but actually describe the feelings of unmarried daughters.
So, my father sighed, "Although this woman is very clever, I am afraid that she will be a person with bad conduct when she grows up."
This little girl is Li Jilan, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty.
(Portrait of Li Jilan)
This story was recorded by Yuan Dynasty scholar Xin in Biography of Li Jilan: "When Ji Lan was five or six years old, his father carried him to the court and asked him to sing a rose song. Father said,' This woman is very clever, and I'm afraid she will be a woman with bad conduct.' "
So, will Li Jilan really become a "lost woman" in the future?
Li Jilan Ye Ming, a native of Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, was born in the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. As a child, Li Jilan was "beautiful and graceful, devoted to calligraphy, good at playing the piano, and especially disciplined", which showed that Li Jilan was not only a typical beautiful girl with many talents, but also a virtuous woman with a good knowledge and family background. "At that time, talented people were quite beautiful, which was very rare."
It's just that Li Jilan was a tomboy since he was a child. He is very naughty and likes jumping around. He is seldom quiet and serious. After growing up, Li Jilan was brilliant, with a good face and more mature poetry skills.
Such a beautiful woman has naturally become the goal pursued by many children. Li Jilan, who is unwilling to live in a lonely boudoir, is also willing to wander around and tease with them, get together, make great efforts, fight wits and fight bravely and live happily.
Parents know that their beloved daughter can't change her temperament. They are afraid that if she gets into trouble and corrodes the Li family, they rashly choose a rich boy and get married.
At the beginning of the wedding, the couple were very respectful and happy.
Her husband, however, is not a good son. With a well-off family, he idles around all day, makes love with others, wanders in Huajie and Liuxiang, indulges in teahouses and restaurants, and gradually forgets Li Jilan. Li Jilan, who has a romantic personality, can't bear loneliness naturally, and frequently meets her former friends to catch up, which leads to the divorce of her husband's family and the end of this short marriage.

Li Jilan, who returned to her mother's house, then entered the Taoist temple and became a female crown. Unexpectedly, she broke free from the shackles of her family and made her feel like a duck to water. A cassock can't hide the beauty and elegance of Li Jilan. Li Jilan, with exquisite diction, smooth melody and unsurpassed beauty, even if he escaped into the Taoist temple, he also made romantic talents flock to him and linger.
This kind of life is just what Li Jilan needs. She wandered among talented people, wrote poems, played the piano and sang songs, and lived a Taoist life of singing and dancing.
At a gathering of poetry friends, Li Jilan didn't know where he learned that Liu Changqing, a poet who came to the meeting specially, had a hernia, so he used Tao Yuanming's poem to ridicule: "The mountains are getting better every day?"
Not to be outdone, Liu Changqing replied, "All the birds are very happy." .
Everyone was shocked and laughed their heads off.
Li Jilan is not only outspoken to his poetry friends, but also confesses to people he admires. Once upon a time, there was a monk named Jiao Ran. He was knowledgeable and handsome. Li Jilan's desire for love is budding, and he is infatuated with acacia. Therefore, Li Jilan wrote a poem expressing his true feelings: "The ruler, like Can Xue, is a pair of carp. If you want to know what you are thinking, read the book in your stomach. "
It happened that Jiao Ran was so determined and unmoved. He replied with a poem and declined politely: "The goddess came to try it and wanted to dye her clothes. I can't stand Zen, and I still hold presbyopia. "
I don't know how wild Li Jilan was when he saw this poem.

In this way, Li Jilan, who is free and easy, is content with the status quo, willful and willful, and enjoys himself in the Taoist temple.
Finally, Li Jilan's fame reached the ears of Emperor Xuanzong in the deep palace. The same romantic and curious Tang Xuanzong couldn't wait to summon her. At this time, Li Jilan is no longer young, but he is "immortal and handsome". Tang Xuanzong was very happy and rewarded him.
However, Li Jilan didn't seem to be used to the leisurely life in the palace compound, so she resigned from the palace and returned to the harem. Tang Xuanzong allowed her and rewarded her.
In his later years, Li Jilan unfortunately suffered an Anshi rebellion and Xuanzong abdicated. After Su Zong and Dai Zong, De Zong succeeded to the throne. Four years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jingyuan mutinied and Dezong was forced to flee hastily. Jingyuan ambassador lived in Chang 'an, proclaimed himself emperor, and changed his country name to Qin. This is the famous "Change of Shi Jing" in history.
In order to whitewash peace and flaunt himself, Zhu Qiu recruited celebrities from Beijing and wrote poems to praise himself. Because of Li Jilan's fame, he is naturally called. Perhaps because of Juba's arrogance, Li Jilan wrote some poems for Juba. Unexpectedly, these poems became her execution order.
Dezong finally recovered his strength and recovered Chang 'an. When he heard that Li Jilan gave the poem to Zhu Zhi, he flew into a rage and immediately called her to the front of the temple for questioning. Li Jilan confessed repeatedly, but the furious Dezong reprimanded her: "Why don't you learn from Yan Juchuan and write' Crying in vain with a ritual vessel, remembering that Mingjun dared not speak'?"
So he ordered "culling".
Poor Li Jilan was in his twilight years and was beaten to death with a stick. A generation of talented women, so fragrant and dead.
