There are only lamentable stories left in Yanzhijing (also known as Jingyangjing). It was clear that the emperor and the concubine had vowed to each other in it and wanted to live and die together ( However, the concubine Zhang Lihua died, and Empress Chen managed to survive); as a hero of the Yue Kingdom and a sinner of the Wu Kingdom, Xi Shi’s final outcome was that her body was buried in the river outside the Wu Palace by Yue King Goujian, and the mud in the river was buried in it. Beautiful Shih Tzu. The background of the creation of Jingyang Well
The original site of "Jingyang Well" is on the side of Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing today, that is, in Beijiming Temple, Jiangning County, Jiangsu Province. Up to now, the ruins are probably still there, and the well must have been hard to find. (According to "Jingding Jiankang Chronicles" and "Zhizheng Jinling New Chronicles", Rouge Well was originally called "Jingyang Well", which was located in Taicheng and later submerged. In order to let people remember the lessons of Empress Chen, later generations built a magic weapon in the There is a Rouge Well on the side of the temple (today's Jiming Temple). Zeng Gong, a Jinshi of the Song Dynasty, wrote the inscription on the well, which was carved in seal script on the railing of the stone well. Here is a poem: "A mound of spring grass is knotted with silk flowers, and the palace well is still in ruins. It is a shame for the former king. It is shameful for the former king to be extravagant and licentious. It will be shameful even if it is not long before the dragon sinks."
After all, Jingyang Well It has been more than 1,400 years ago, but it is the source of a sad story that has inspired poets throughout the ages.
Let’s talk about the origin of Jingyang Well: it was once the Chen Jingyang Palace of the Southern Dynasty. Zhijing, also known as Rouge Well. In the third year of Zhenming (589), Sui soldiers crossed the river south and captured Taicheng (Taicheng: the Imperial Palace of the Six Dynasties, its former site is on the south bank of Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, behind Jiming Temple, and the east end is connected with Ming Dynasty). The capital city is connected, with a broken wall at the west end. Go forward along the asphalt road on the east side of Jiming Mountain and pass through the gate of Jiming Temple to the west. Later generations will usually call it Taicheng.) When the soldiers arrived, I and my concubine Zhang Lihua jumped into this well. At night, they were captured by the Sui soldiers. Later generations called this well the Well of Shame. It can be seen that this well is not an ordinary well. Not to mention its age, it also has a very profound lesson. The leader, not only escaped when the soldiers arrived, but also threw themselves into this well to escape the pursuers together with the ladies. After the two were captured by the Sui army, they crossed the Qingxi Middle Bridge (Qingxi is a moat in ancient Nanjing, dug by Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period). ) Zhang Lihua was cut off in the middle by the Sui army, and Empress Chen lived in humiliation and gave away the entire country to others. Chen State and the Sui State were on the same level. Due to Empress Chen's excessive debauchery, she was destroyed by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who was once a friend. There were twists and turns, and later generations ridiculed and regretted it. Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was also dissolute and squandered, the fate of his country was similar.
Regarding Jingyangjing, It is a story from the Southern Dynasties. Three hundred years have passed by the time of Li Shangyin. It is estimated that literati have written many poems and proses based on this allusion. For example, the poem "Inscribed on Wangyuan Station" by the Tang Dynasty poet Wen Tingyun: "It is difficult for people to come to Jingyang Hanjing. The story of Jingyangjing was still very familiar to literati in the later Tang Dynasty and they liked to quote it.
