Only a geisha, though not a good woman, has sweet air and plenty of water for her to dance and stretch freely. So there is nothing to regret, and in many cases, it is better to leave a false name for future generations to admire than to die of old age in obscurity. Otherwise, how can the pursuit of fame and fortune in this world be seen more and less? It's a blessing that Xue Tao is so good at dancing with long sleeves and goes down in history.
The original prostitute is not the same as the prostitute you choose later. They just sang and danced and didn't lose their virginity. Occasionally, a childe "xianggong" took a fancy to it and invited his master to come over and use it as an inner room. Even if you are a concubine, you are also a man's private property. No matter whether you love or hate, however humble you are, it is more comforting than prostitutes in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Prostitutes in Tang and Song Dynasties should be called Ji, not as gaudy as a bunch of prostitutes in Yuan Dynasty. Especially, most of the women entertained at the banquets of dignitaries are talented women. The eyebrows are euphemistic, but there are also words and ink on the chest. Most of them are clean people who are street performers and don't sell themselves. Xue Tao is undoubtedly the best among them.
The story predicted by Wu Tongshi in Xue Tao is very famous. It is said that when she was eight years old, her father, Xue Yun, saw a sycamore tree in the imperial court, and took Ode to Sycamore as the topic, saying that "except for an ancient sycamore tree in the imperial court, it rose to the sky", so that Xue Tao could continue to answer and test her talent. Xue Tao answered and sang: "The branches welcome the birds in the north and south, and the leaves supply air." Hearing this, my father was not only surprised by her talent, but also felt that it was an ominous sign. I'm afraid my daughter will become a prostitute in the future. Xue Tao turned out to be an official prostitute.
Xue Tao is an official prostitute. Compared with her eponymous Li Jilan, she is unrestrained, not a prostitute, but more dignified than a prostitute. Her talent and beauty are well known in Sichuan, and all our ambassadors in Sichuan admire and respect her. The first person to appreciate Xue Tao was Wei Gao, a famous minister. Wei Gao heard that Xue Tao's poems were outstanding and his background was good. After becoming an official, he called her and asked her to improvise poetry. Xue Tao improvised a song "You Wushan Temple"—
Visit Gaotang at the ape's crow, and smoke vanilla all the way;
The mountains have not forgotten Song Yu, and the sound of water makes you cry.
In the morning and evening, under the balcony, it rains and rains, and the State of Chu dies.
There are many willows in front of the temple, and the thrush comes to the sky in spring.
Wei Gao read it and was amazed. He gave it to all the guests at the dinner party, and everyone was surprised. Xue Tao's poems are about climbing Mount Wushan Goddess and "visiting Wushan Temple". In fact, this kind of poem is not particularly surprising, but since Song Yu's Gao, Wushan Yunyu has become the endorsement of men and women's love, while Xue Tao only wrote a little melancholy homesickness, which is an excellent way to see the mountains and water and feel the vicissitudes of life. Especially the last sentence, "fighting thrush grows in spring", is a faint accusation that the predecessors are addicted to women. It is not easy for such an idea to come from a woman, especially an official prostitute.
Therefore, Xue Tao's poems are good, and later generations praised: "There is no female voice." That makes sense. After Wei Gao left, Li Deyu, the successor of our time, also appreciated her very much. Later, she and Li Deyu gave a banquet in "Frontier Tower" and wrote a profound and heroic poem "The general is not greedy for Qiang horses, and meets each other at the top", which surprised people with her vision and mind besides beauty.
As women, when we look at Yu, we will feel: "It's easy to find priceless treasures, but it's hard to have a lover." Yu, 26, died of jealousy, which ruined her life. In his later years, Xue Tao lived in seclusion in a high-rise building, disguised as a female Taoist, and accepted the reality of his later years safely, because he had a peaceful mind and enjoyed a long life. After her death, Duan Wenchang, then our ambassador to Jiannan, personally wrote an epitaph for her, and engraved on her tombstone "Xue Tao's Tomb of Hongdu, Give Up a Girl's Book". Compared with Xue Tao's leisurely reading of the world, it is even more admirable.
Wei Gao paid special respect to Xue Tao and praised her repeatedly, making her the leading social butterfly in Sichuan. Wei Gao is a man who dares to go to the old and welcome the new. He thinks Xue Tao is really talented, and ordinary men can't compare with her. Let her be her own female secretary, take the post of school book and help her deal with official documents. Xue Tao's talent is outstanding. She is only a girl's school book in name. Wei Gao felt wronged and wanted to write a letter to the court, asking it to order her to be a real "girls' school book". I always sigh that only people in the Tang Dynasty can come up with such fantastic ideas. Later people adhered to the ethical code, and their hearts were all dead branches and leaves, which could no longer bloom.
This incident was later forgotten because of its bad influence, but Wei Gao's uproar, like the media hype now, made Xue Tao's name "Girls' School Book" more widely known. At that time, a poet named Wang Jian wrote to praise Xue Tao:
Wan Li Qiaobian girls' school books, closed doors loquat flowers.
It's better to lead the spring breeze than to sweep your eyebrows.
-Wang Jian's "Send Xue Tao's proofreading book to Shu Zhong"
I can't help sighing that Xue Tao's life is better than that of many female college students now, and I met a talented man who didn't discriminate against gender and didn't just look at his looks. If Xue Tao is like a scene of fireworks, Wei Gao is the match that was uncovered. Without him, Xue Tao's life would not be so brilliant.
With the help of Vigo, Xue Tao became famous for a while. Her fame is getting wider and wider with the Shuhe River. She is very high-profile, mixing rouge and water into a small red note with poems written on it, which was once given to those guests she thought fit. This is called "Xue Tao Note" by later generations.
Many years later, there was also a woman who made a "Peach Blossom Notes" and wrote poems with water every day, which attracted countless princes and grandchildren, and her style of writing was similar to that of Xue Tao. However, if "Xue" is an enduring agarwood in the scholar's study, "Peach Blossom Stream" is more like a fragrance mark on the skirt after waking up from a spring dream, with a faint fragrance, which soon drifts with the wind.
No matter what year and month, people always respect frivolous loafers less than modesty. Xue Tao is far more calm and solemn than Yu, and her romantic style has won the love of later scholars. Xue became a symbol of romance and elegance in later generations, so it can be longer and deeper than Peach Blossom Stream.
Love between men and women is like dancing and fighting. When I see Xue Tao's poem "Li Shishi", I always think of this sentence. People like me, but Xue Tao lingers with all the men, which makes Wei Gao jealous. He demoted Xue Tao to the remote Songzhou.
Xue Tao has been a smart and alert woman all her life. It depends, she has always been able to straighten her position calmly, as Wei Gao did, and so did Yuan Zhen. Once it is determined that there is no possibility for Yuan Zhen to be with her, she will not be entangled, accept this fact frankly and continue to live her own life. Although, she once wrote poems that clearly expressed her joy and attachment to Yuan Zhen-
On the amphibious green pool, fly back at dusk;
The days between concentric lotus leaves will be busier.
-Xue Tao's "Two Birds in the Pool"
There is deep affection in the poem, as well as the confession of "flying in the dusk and concentric lotus leaves", which is a great desire to live with Yuan Zhen. I think Xue Tao wants to marry Yuan Zhen when her feelings are close. However, the good times did not last long, and Yuan Zhen left Sichuan a year later. At that time, Xue Tao was 46 years old, the young man was in the autumn dusk, and Yuan Zhen was an indulgent and affectionate person, so Xue Tao quietly ended this relationship. Clever, she understood her relationship with Yuan Zhen. Dew love is fleeting, so why bother?
"I intend to marry my body and rest for a lifetime, but I can't be ashamed if I am mercilessly abandoned." The woman in Wei Zhuang's ci said so. Alas, there are too many spoony girls. It is even more valuable to be able to cut off the string like Xue Tao. This is what I like about Xue Tao: smart and calm. Although I am a prostitute, my heart is as clean and beautiful as ice and snow.
Wei Gao was very angry and sent her a piece of paper. Xue Tao suddenly realized that he had gone too far. No matter how famous he was, he survived. No matter how much the children of the prince praise homesickness, they will be gone in a few days. It is this man named Wei Gao who really fights against himself day and night and can control his life and death.
The sadness in my heart surged up, and the small twists and turns made her see her situation and identity clearly. A good name is a false name, just a false name, and the love between men and women is false. The only truth is that she is a prostitute and needs the pity of others to stand on the world.
Very clever Xue Tao, calmly restrained his sadness, which is meaningless. No one's sorrow can touch God unless she has the power to make Gan Kun change his mind. Xue Tao wrote ten famous parting poems on his way to Songzhou and gave them to Wei Gao. These ten "Ten Partings" are written like this-
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.
-"The Dog Away from the Lord"
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.
-"the pen leaves the hand"
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.
-"The horse leaves the stable"
Longxi, alone, flew around and went to gold and silver.
It's inconvenient to talk, so we can't call people in cages anymore.
-"The Parrot Comes Out"
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.
-"Swallows Leave the Nest"
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.
-"pearls leave the palm"
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.
-"Fish Leaving the Pool"
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.
-"the eagle leaves the pheasant"
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.
-"Bamboo Leaving the Pavilion"
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.
-"The Mirror Leaving Taiwan Province"
These ten poems compare themselves to dogs, pens, horses, parrots, swallows, pearls, fish, eagles, bamboo and mirrors, and compare Wei Gao to the owner, hands, stables, cages, nests, palms, pools, arms, pavilions and platforms on which he relies. It is only because dogs bite relatives and friends, pens run out, famous ponies surprise Yu Lang, parrots open their mouths, swallow mud and sweat pillows, pearls are slightly flawed, fish play hibiscus, eagles rush into the clouds, bamboo shoots drill through walls, and mirrors fall off dust, which causes their owners' unhappiness and disgust.
To tell the truth, Xue Tao's ten poems are not my favorite flavor. They are detached from thoughts without feelings, saying that they are detached from thoughts without sincere bitterness. A pile of "no" sounds is not like poetry, but like confession. Too flattering, she lost her original integrity in the poem. But as far as parting is concerned, Xue Tao's conception is novel, and it is not surprising to focus on the things around him. The most rare thing in writing poetry is to be able to write ordinary things around you with twists and turns, and Xue Cai's daughter burst into tears. No wonder Wei Gao sent someone to get her back immediately after reading it, and the two made up.
Even if Wei Gao wins this dance, it is not so glorious.
I don't know why, these "ten poems" always remind me of Song Gaozong's twelve gold medals. If Yue Fei had had Xue Tao's poetic style, I wonder if he could change the emperor's mind and let him go straight to Huanglong to save the people from the chaos of more than 200 years. But this is just my fantasy.
Reading Ten Parting Poems, I feel that Xue Tao is holding back his grievances. However, no matter how wronged you are, you will suffer. Most people in the world are wronged, but their persistence is different from people's attitude. Like bonsai gardens, many people cut off branches and vines, break bones and muscles and make them look like they like. Just some blood and tears are visible, some are invisible, and they are buried deep in the soil.
Besides, it is wronged to be a hero and a beauty. I want to cater to this secular world, but I can't. "It is acacia to spend a good night with flowers." After all, Xue Tao is luckier than many people

If we simply study Xue Tao's life, /view/ 1 1238.html? Wtp=tt You can refer to Baidu Encyclopedia. As the downstairs said, it's really detailed. But I think liuqiwei26 wants to get some subjective evaluation, not just objective narration. Otherwise, people would have stopped reading encyclopedias themselves? Why are you here to ask questions?
