The female Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty fell in love with the eminent monk and wrote a love poem to him. Why did she give up immediately afterward?

In feudal society, the status of women was very low compared to men. Generally, girls got married as soon as they had hair extensions and lived a simple life as housewives, caring for their husbands and raising their children. Because of this, many talented and capable girls have been delayed. They can only be trapped in a few feet square yard, washing and cooking, serving their husbands, and growing old day after day. Of course, not all girls are like this, and there are a few exceptions, such as Li Ye, who was young and smart and became a Taoist priest. Li Ye, whose courtesy name was Ji Lan, was a famous female poet in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that she showed great talent in writing poems and poems when she was young. When she was six years old, she wrote a poem "Ode to Roses" that has been handed down from generation to generation. Suddenly, her reputation as a child prodigy spread like wildfire. After growing up, Li Ye became even more graceful and charming. With the blessing of her poetic talent, she became one of the four great female poets in the Tang Dynasty. In Li Ye's poem about roses, there is a sentence like this: Time has not given up, and his mood is chaotic, because "fighting but" has the same sound as "marrying but". Li Ye's father felt that his daughter might grow up. She would not be afraid of the secular world and do some extraordinary things, so she was sent to a Taoist temple to become a female Taoist priest.

After entering the Taoist temple, Li Ye's mood was not affected by the surrounding environment at all. She still recited poems and painted paintings, and she made friends with many famous poets at the time, including one named Shi Jiaoran. Monk, this person is handsome and talented. It didn't take long for Li Ye to fall in love with her. The lively and enthusiastic Li Ye felt that he should not hide his feelings, so he wrote a love poem to Shi Jiaoran. The expression of love in the poem was direct and bold. Shi Jiaoran understood Li Ye's intention at a glance. Reluctantly, Shi Jiaoran didn't think about it at all, so he replied with a poem to her and rejected her outright. The rejected Li Ye was sad for a while and passed away. He still lived a chic and romantic life. Until his later years, the famous Li Ye was summoned to the palace by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, she was staying in Guangling, the capital of Huadu.
