Like a Dream (Part 1)
Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty
I often remember that the sun is setting in the Xiting Pavilion, and I am so drunk that I don’t know my way back.
Returning to the boat late after having fun, accidentally fell into the depths of lotus flowers.
Fighting for the crossing, fighting for the crossing, startling a pool of gulls and herons.
Translation:
One:
I often remember the evening when I visited Xiting. I was so intoxicated that I forgot the way home. After having fun to the fullest, it got dark. I rowed a boat back and accidentally entered the depths of the lotus root pond. How to get out, how to get out? I accidentally startled the gulls and herons all over the beach.
Like a Dream (Part 2)
Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty
Last night it rained and the wind blew violently, and I couldn't get rid of the remaining wine after a deep sleep.
When I asked the person behind the curtain, I found that Begonia was still the same.
Do you know? Do you know? It should be green, red and thin.
Translation:
Second:
Although the raindrops were sparse last night, the wind was blowing hard. I slept soundly all night, but when I woke up, I still felt There is still a little bit of alcohol left. So I asked the maid who was rolling up the curtain how the situation was outside. She only said to me: "The begonia flowers are still the same." You know, you know? It should be lush green leaves and withered red flowers.
Extended information:
After the mid-Ming Dynasty, with the development of the commodity economy, boudoir poets emerged in large numbers. They formed poetry societies and even published their works in collections, which conflicted with traditional concepts (" In "A Dream of Red Mansions", Lin Daiyu disagrees with the boudoir poetry collection), people are eager to find an "ancient" evidence to justify their actions. As a result, Li Qingzhao was "rediscovered".
Li Qingzhao was born in the Song Dynasty. Her father, Li Gefei, was a disciple of Su Shi and one of the "Four Scholars of the Later Su Family". She had a high status in the literary world. She also married Zhao Mingcheng, a member of the royal family, so she had close contacts with the mainstream literary circles. Creation is praised. In the history of ancient Chinese literature, Li Qingzhao is the only female poet who has been canonized. Although other female writers may be praised, they are rarely regarded as representatives of an era's creations and are rarely imitated.
However, remarriage of a woman was common in the Song Dynasty, but it was a major moral stain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Li Qingzhao almost became the counter-evidence that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue", which provides support for the "Li Qingzhao did not remarry theory" psychological needs.
Li Qingzhao’s second husband, Zhang Ruzhou, was of very low moral character and may have engaged in domestic violence and defrauded Li Qingzhao of his collection, which led to the breakdown of the marriage. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, a wife who sued her husband would be sentenced to two years in prison even if she won the lawsuit. Li Qingzhao adopted a roundabout tactic-reporting Zhang Ruzhou for accepting bribes, and if he was convicted, the marriage would automatically be invalidated.
Perhaps because he regretted his second marriage, or because he wanted to regain his status as a royal in-law, after the divorce, Li Qingzhao wrote the touching "Preface to the Records of Jinshi", which contains the ups and downs of his life and memories. Reflections on the past love life and the impermanence of the world. Yu Zhengxie and others successfully found an opportunity to overturn the verdict - in the article, Li Qingzhao missed Zhao Mingcheng so much and was already old, how could he remarry?
In fact, as Mr. Qian Zhongshu said in "The Besieged City", literati most long for the death of their wives, so that they can write touching "Essays on Wife Mourning" that have been passed down through the ages. But after writing, they Most will remarry.
In the eyes of Yu Zhengxie and others, Li Qingzhao did not have this kind of freedom. She must be pure and pure, and her words and deeds must be consistent. She can only write about her own experiences. She cannot make up like normal people, cannot pretend, cannot be romantic today and realistic tomorrow. As a result, Li Qingzhao became "great" and became a heavy sacrifice on the altar of male morality.
When Japanese scholars visited Mr. Tang Guizhang in the 1970s, they mentioned that Li Qingzhao had remarried, and Tang even seemed a little angry. In his opinion, Li Qingzhao was the "husband among women", so how could he remarry? Mr. Tang Guizhang has been widowed for many years and has raised several children to adulthood. In a cramped environment, scholars have excessive expectations for loyalty and love.
