Gong Zizhen was a famous thinker and writer in Qing Dynasty, and also a pioneer of reformism. Three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gong Zizhen died suddenly in Yunyang Academy at the age of 49. So how did Gong Zizhen die?
Gu Taiqing's parents died when he was young. He grew up with his uncle and aunt, so he followed his uncle's surname Gu. She learned poetry because of her intelligence since she was a child, and her poems are exquisite and exquisite, and she is a leader in Jiangnan literary world. Once Baylor Wang Yi went south to Suzhou and was attracted by Gu Taiqing's beautiful poems at the reception banquet. Later, she was brought back to Beijing as a princess Nine years later, Yi Hua died of illness, and Gu Taiqing gradually shifted the sadness of missing her dead husband to writing poems. Among them, Gong Zizhen is a frequent visitor with close contacts and often goes to her house to write poems. At this time, Chen Wenshu, a Hangzhou scholar, came to Beijing and skillfully linked Gong Zizhen's poems about lilacs with the words about dreams. Soon, this misunderstood thing spread in Beijing, and the rumor of catching shadows was justified by some boring scholars. Rumors abound, but Gong Zizhen and Gu Taiqing are helpless. In the end, Gong Zizhen was forced to leave the capital gloomily. Gu Taiqing was irrefutable and was driven out of the palace by Yi Hui's son Zai Chun. After that, I rented several shabby houses in Maying to make a living.
