-Xue Tao's Peony
This poem is about peony, but it seems to be about Xue Tao himself.
Later generations know Xue Tao mostly because of her status as a famous prostitute. However, unlike other prostitutes, Xue Tao was not born humble.
Xue Tao's father, Xue Xun, was an official of the imperial court. Because of his integrity, he accidentally offended the powerful and suffered the crime of relegation. After Xue Xun's death, Xue Tao, who was only fourteen years old, was forced to become a prostitute because of her livelihood.
As a child, Xue Tao received a good education, his father's attention and his love for poetry. Since childhood, she has been smarter than other children. Men can't compare with them, let alone women. And her talent, as far as we know, first appeared when she was eight years old.
In the afternoon, Xue Xun enjoys the cool in the yard. He looked at the lush phoenix tree and recited two poems: "The imperial court divided an ancient phoenix tree and soared into the clouds." Then, he let Xue Tao Jr. take over. Xue Tao replied without thinking: "The branches welcome birds from the north and the south, and the leaves send the breeze."
An eight-year-old girl has a quick reaction. If so, other parents should be gratified. But Xue iFLYTEK was not happy, but full of worries. He thought it a bad sign that his daughter wrote such a poem. The meaning in the poem seems to mean that she will turn to dust and be welcomed. Sure enough, Xue Tao became a prostitute at the age of sixteen.
Li Jilan, who is also known as one of the four great poetesss in Tang Dynasty with Xue Tao, also has such a prophetic story. Privately, most of these prophetic statements were invented by later generations to make the story more legendary.
Xue Tao is a prostitute and a poetess. She is no ordinary vulgar * * *, and she doesn't need to trade in flesh. On the contrary, what she does is often elegant. When dignitaries hold a banquet, they will invite a female poet to accompany them, or order wine, or write poems, or play the piano, or sing and dance ... These are all things that Xue Tao is good at, and she can handle them with ease, as if she was born to belong to such an occasion.
Extraordinary communication skills, beautiful appearance, outstanding talent ... Xue Tao's fame is getting bigger and bigger.
/kloc-at the age of 0/6, Xue Tao met the first man who influenced her life-our Boxichuan messenger Wei Gao.
Wei Gao had heard of Xue Tao before he met her. Xue Tao, a famous prostitute in Shu, who doesn't know? He had long wanted to meet this famous talented woman, so at a banquet, he invited Xue Tao to write a poem on the spot.
Xue Tao pondered for a moment and wrote a poem "Visit Wushan Temple".
Visiting Gaotang is at the place where apes crow, and the road smells of tobacco.
The mountains have not forgotten Song Yu, and the sound of water is still crying to the king.
Sooner or later, under the balcony, Chu is dead because of the rain as a cloud.
There are many willows in front of the temple, and the thrush comes to the sky in spring.
This poem covers the meeting of King Xiang of Chu with the goddess Yao Ji on the balcony in his dream, as well as historical allusions such as Song Yu's "Gao Tang Mi". The whole poem is fluent in writing and beautiful in language. Incredibly, this is written by a sixteen-year-old girl.
Wei Gao likes Xue Tao very much and praises her to everyone, so Xue Tao's reputation is better than before. Not only that, whenever there is a banquet, Wei Gao will take Xue Tao to entertain without exception, and Xue Tao has never let him down.
As time went on, Wei Gao appreciated and trusted Xue Tao's talent more and more, and even made her his school bookkeeper. Although the school books are not of high grade, they are not for ordinary people. Xue Tao thus set a precedent and became the first girls' school book in history.
The relationship between Xue Tao and Wei Gao has also been speculated by people. According to common sense, they are far simpler than superiors and subordinates. Wei Gao is very appreciative of Xue Tao. Their affairs are no secret in Shu, and many people who want to have contact with Wei Gao will go to Xue Tao first.
Xue Tao was confused by his growing self-confidence. Those men praised her for writing poems, and she dared to openly write ambiguous poems in return, which was not taboo at all. She forgot that it was only a matter of time before Wei Gao picked her up and tried to overthrow her.
Xue Tao is not Wei Gao's wife, but Wei Gao has no doubt about her feelings. When this happened, Wei Gao was furious and exiled Xue Tao to Songzhou in a rage. Wei Gao certainly doesn't really want to belittle Xue Tao, but people are often impulsive when they are angry.
On the way to Songzhou, Xue Tao reflected on her fault, and seized Wei Gao's affection for her, wrote the famous poem "Ten Farewells" and gave it to Wei Gao.
First, dogs leave their owners.
After practicing Zhumen for four or five years, Mao Xiang was full of pity for his master.
Bite a family guest for no reason, don't sleep on the carpet in HongLing.
Second, keep your pen away from your hand.
The more you confess, the more flowers will be scattered on the red paper.
All fate is exhausted with a long front, and it is not allowed to be in the hands of Xi. .
Third, the horse leaves the stable.
Snow ears, red hair, shallow green hooves, chasing the wind and going to Japan.
In order to surprise her husband, Hua Xuan shouldn't even be booed.
Fourth, the parrot leaves the cage.
Longxi, alone, flew around and went to gold and silver.
It's inconvenient to talk, so we can't call people in cages anymore.
Fifth, Li Yanchao
In and out of the doors, I can't bear to throw them away. The host often loves to make friends.
Mud and dirty coral pillows are not allowed to nest between beams.
Liu Qi Zhu Zhang Li
Bright and round, connected inside and outside, as clear as a crystal palace.
Because of a little shame, you can't stay in your hand all night.
Qiqi fish out of the pool
Jump into a deep pool for four or five years and often wag your tail to take the bait.
You can't swim in the clear waves if you break the hibiscus flowers for no reason.
Seventh, the eagle leaves the shovel.
Claws like sharp eyes like bells, catching rabbits in the plain is called high emotion.
Without reason, you can't escape Qingyun, and you can't hold the arm of the king.
Qi JIU Zhu Li Guan
I planted four or five new elements, and I was often exhausted in the autumn frost.
For the sake of bamboo shoots and spring, you are not allowed to build a jade hall.
The tenth mirror leaves Taiwan Province.
The casting mirror began to open and lingered in March and May.
In order to be blinded by infinite dust, you are not allowed to go to Huatang Yutai.
In the poem, Xue Tao compares himself to a dog, a pen, a horse, a parrot and so on. , and Wei Gao is the master, and his hands, stables and cages are all relied on by him ... Her feelings are sincere, and with a wave of his pen and ink, Wei Gao's already regretful heart was suddenly touched, and she quickly sent someone to take Xue Tao back.
Thus, Xue Tao's weight in Wei Gao's heart is still very heavy. I don't know why their relationship didn't develop further, maybe it's because the age difference is too big.
Wei Gao died at the age of sixty-one, and Xue Tao was thirty-five, just saying goodbye to the most beautiful years of women.
For Xue Tao, Wei Gao is also a teacher, friend and lover, and her investment is obvious. If Xue Tao, which changed from a butler to a prostitute, is a deep sea in winter, Wei Gao should be a passing warm current. He made her feel the warmth of fireworks in March, and her life became gorgeous.
Although Wei Gao gave Xue Tao the most meticulous care in her girlhood, Yuan Zhen, who is eleven years younger than Xue Tao, is the man she loves most in her life. This relationship is the most sincere dedication and the most helpless disaster in her life.
In the fourth year of Yuanhe (809), Yuan Zhen was appointed as Jiannan in Dongchuan. Now that I'm in Shu, I can't miss Xue Tao because of Yuan Zhen's passion for lingering among flowers. He sent a letter to Xue Tao from a man who used to work in Wei Gaos family, and asked her to meet him in Zizhou.
After Wei Gao's death, Xue Tao has been living by the Huanhua River in the suburbs, leading a leisurely life. By that time, she had left music books and had not set foot in social circles for a long time. When she heard Yuan Zhen's name, she went to Zizhou as promised.
That meeting with Yuan Zhen, Xue Tao's calm heart once again set off an outrageous situation. In the age of no doubt, she thought she would never be tired of secular love again. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhen is very different from her age.
Yuan Zhen and Xue Tao talked endlessly about literary criticism and poetry, as if there was nothing he didn't know. He is charming and handsome. Thirty is his most attractive age. His enthusiasm, talent and love ... make Xue Tao fall into a whirlpool and never escape.
As for Yuan Zhen, he also likes Xue Tao. The charm still exists, and she still has poetry books in her stomach. Compared with other young girls with little knowledge he has met, she has a more mature charm. Although he has a wife at home, his love affair with Xue Tao is vigorous.
Unfortunately, the relationship between Xue Tao and Yuan Zhen lasted only four months. Yuan Zhen was appointed by the court and left Shu. Xue Tao longitudinal pretend, but also helpless. She firmly believes that Yuan Zhen loves her as much as she loves him, and he will definitely come back to see her when he is free! With this belief and full of disappointment, Xue Tao sent Yuan Zhen away.
After Yuan Zhen's wife died of illness, he married his second wife, Pei Shu, and fell in love with another talented woman, the famous Liu Caichun at that time. Poor Xue Tao is still waiting for him by Huanhuaxi. She wrote to him on exquisite Xue Tao stationery, looking forward to it and reading. ...
If Yuan Zhen didn't pay attention, Xue Tao might wake up as soon as possible and stop clinging to this ethereal love. It happened that Yuan Zhen would write back to Xue Tao from time to time, as if they were still in love, and the content of the letter once made Xue Tao fantasize. It's time to finally break her fantasy.
More than a year has passed in an instant, but for Xue Tao, it is as long as centuries. Yuan Zhen didn't come back He failed her.
At this point, Xue Tao finally realized that he was too optimistic and overestimated his weight in Yuan Zhen's heart. He may have really loved her, but love doesn't mean love? . With so many birds and swallows around him, can a man like him fall in love with a flower alone?
Since Yuan Zhen would not come back, Xue Tao felt that he had no reason to wait in Huanhuaxi. She left Huanhuaxi and put on her robe until she died.
Xue Tao was not the first woman who was hurt by Yuan Zhen, nor was she the last. But judging from Xue Tao's indifferent attitude in the second half of her life, she doesn't seem to hate Yuan Zhen very much. She only regrets that she fell in love with a man who doesn't belong to her. No, he doesn't just belong to her. He doesn't belong to any woman.
Timely love is meeting the right person at the right time.
Inappropriate love is meeting the right person at the wrong time.
Love is not love, but meeting the wrong person at the wrong time.
At the age of forty-two, Xue Tao thought he had finally met the one he was meant to meet. Little did she know that this was the disaster of her life.
Such a bumpy love story made Xue Tao's Peony. Peony is written about flowers, but it is full of humanity. She imagines herself as a peony flower in her pen, writing about the joy of reunion after parting.
Last spring, the peony flowers withered, and the red paper was full of tears of parting. That peony seems to be the embodiment of a lover, and the withering of the peony means the lover's departure. So she worried that her lover would be gone forever like the Wushan goddess who had no news after the tryst. But she hopes that she can suddenly break into the Peach Blossom Garden and meet her lover like the Wuling fisherman in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden.
This psychology of being swayed by considerations of gain and loss shows the weight of this lover she misses in her heart. After leaving, she was worried that she would never see him again. She looked forward to seeing him again soon, sharing the same feelings with each other and being together for a long time.
"I just want to put a pillow by the bar and miss you at night" is the crowning touch of the whole poem, which also expresses her mood.
Although she is a prostitute, she doesn't need to be greeted and sent away as usual. She only knows the truth about money.
She is a man of temperament. She dares to love and hate, and will not feel inferior just because she is a prostitute. The reason why she has such confidence is also because of her talent.
She doesn't want to live like this all her life. As a woman, who doesn't want a man who loves her to wait beside her every day?
What she expects is to sit with the person she loves, tell each other about lovesickness every night, and fall asleep with her dreams. This is also the same wish of many prostitutes.
However, there are many peony flowers in the world, but there are few sincere people. Flowers will reopen one day. If lovers want to meet again after parting, it is not so simple, and the days to wait are far more than one spring and autumn.
