There were four famous beautiful women in ancient China, but there are different opinions about them, and there is no conclusion yet. The author has collected the following versions:
The first version: Pan An, Song Yu, Warrior Lanling, Wei Jie
Pan An: the most beautiful man in the world
People often praise a man's beauty by "looking like Pan An", and Pan An has become the spokesman of the beautiful man through the ages. So what kind of person is he? How beautiful is he?
The history books directly say that Pan An is beautiful in three words-"beauty instrument". He is naturally good in appearance and temperament. Although Pan An's facial features and height are not recorded in detail in the book, his beauty is beyond doubt, because at that time he already had a group of die-hard "fans". According to Shi Shuo Xin Yu, every time Pan An goes out to play, there are always a large number of girls chasing him, which is definitely a idolize posture. Groups of girls chasing Pan An offered him flowers and fruits. Every time Pan An went home, he was able to return home with a full load, which became the origin of the allusion of "throwing fruit to make a profit".
Although there are so many beautiful women chasing him all day, Pan An is not moved at all. Pan An is definitely a hero when it comes to treating his wife. Pan An's wife comes from a noble family, which is higher than Pan Anjia's. They are not suitable. Because Pan An is both a handsome man and a gifted scholar, Pan An's wife is willing to marry him. Pan An is infatuated with his wife. Not only did he never go out to make love when his wife was alive, but he never forgot her after her death. A year after his wife died, he wrote three Mourning Poems. In the history of China literature, these three Mourning Poems are of pioneering significance. Because women's status was very low at that time, before Pan An's Mourning Poems, there were almost no works to remember their wives. Pan An's articles are also well written, and he likes to write mourning articles, so he can be said to be a melancholy handsome writer.
Pan An's appearance is needless to say, and he can be regarded as a good husband with single-minded feelings, but his life path is not as enviable as his appearance, but rather tragic. His political path was still very bumpy, and he was not reused in his early years. Later, he took refuge in the Jia's Group headed by Jia Nanfeng and her nephew Jia Mi. At that time, it was the time when Jia's group called the shots. Jia Nanfeng wanted to abolish the Prince, but Pan An was unfortunately involved in this conspiracy. Once the prince was drunk, Pan An was arranged to write an article offering sacrifices to the gods, and asked the prince to copy it. The prince was already drunk and delirious, so he wrote a letter according to the gourd painting gourd ladle. After Pan An got the article written by the Prince, he sketched a few strokes and turned it into an article of rebellion, which led to the abolition of the Prince and the execution of the Prince's biological mother. Although not the mastermind, Pan An obviously played a role in fueling the plot. Although the trickery succeeded, Pan An will not come to a good end. After the Eight Kings Rebellion, Sima Lun, the prince of Zhao, succeeded in seizing power. He immediately arrested Pan An and sentenced him to exterminating three clans.
Throughout Pan An's life, he is a complex and contradictory individual who combines talent, beauty, devotion and political evil. If future generations only remember his beauty, it will undoubtedly simplify him. Among all the handsome men, Pan An can still be known as a symbol of a handsome man after thousands of years of baptism. His handsome appearance and brilliant talent are the reasons for his immortality. If a beautiful man wants not to be a epiphyllum, it is the last word to cultivate both inside and outside.
Song Yu: In the ancient novels, operas and other literary works of great talents, men are often described as beautiful as Song Yu and handsome as Pan An. Pan An and Song Yu can be said to be the two most famous handsome men in Chinese history. Song Yu is not only beautiful, but also talented, which makes many women fascinated.
Song Yu's theory of beauty has been passed down through the ages, but how he was beautiful has been a mystery through the ages, because he didn't even leave a portrait. But we can get an idea of how beautiful Song Yu is from the record of "The Lothario". According to the record of "The Lotharist Fu", the Lotharist reported to the King of Chu that Song Yu was a handsome man. He had a glib tongue, but he was naturally lewd, so don't let Song Yu run to the harem. Hearing this, Song Yu wanted to fight back. He ran to the king of Chu and said, please come and be a notary, and have a look at whether I am horny or a lothario. Song Yu first said that the beauty in the world is Chu, and the beauty in Chu is my hometown, and the beauty in my hometown is my neighbor next door-the daughter in the east. The beauty next door is too long to increase by one point and too short to decrease by one point; Powder application is too white, and Zhu application is too red. Eyebrows are as tall and straight as bird feathers, skin is as white as snow, waist is very thin, and teeth are very white. It is such a beautiful woman lying on the wall, looking at me for three years, and I am not tempted. Am I also a womanizer? On the contrary, lothario is not a good thing. There is an ugly wife in the disciple's family. His wife has messy hair, deformed ears, valgus lips, uneven teeth, a limp in walking, a hunchback and scabies all over her body. The disciple liked her very much and had five children with her in a row. You see, as long as it is a woman, the lothario will like it, so he is better than me. In fact, judging from the current point of view, it is commendable that the lothario does not abandon the wife of the dross. However, Song Yu's eloquence is extraordinary, so he fooled him, and the king of Chu actually fainted, judging that the lothario was a lecherous person. This sentence actually made the lothario bear the stigma of lewdness from then on and became synonymous with the sex maniac of later generations.
Song Yu is not only superficial, but also has outstanding literary talent and a master position in the literary world. His masterpiece "Nine Arguments" can be compared with Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" in the history of China literature, and it is a double gem in Chu Ci. In the history of literature, Song Yu also created several firsts. He was the first to write about sad autumn and the first to write about women. His description of women's classics has a great influence on Cao Zhi and others in later generations. Some people think that he was the first to describe prostitutes, and pointed out that the "goddess" in his work Goddess Fu is a prostitute. There are ***16 works he has preserved, and only one article, Nine Arguments, is definitely written by Song Yu.
There are not many records about Song Yu's life experience. I only know that he was born in a poor family. In order to seek a political way out, he once went to the capital of Chu and worked as a literary attendant beside the king of Chu. It is said that he was once appreciated by the king of Chu. However, Song Yu was actually not cut out to be an official and was out of date, so he finally left the imperial court and returned to the countryside, and finished his life with full regrets.
Warrior Lanling: Sad Prince Behind the Mask Warrior Lanling in the Northern Dynasties was also one of the beautiful men who left infinite reverie for later generations. He has all the necessary conditions to become a legend, such as mysterious origins, such as being brave and good at fighting, such as his bloody and killing family, and such as dying in his prime. And the most splendid part of this legend is undoubtedly his breathtaking beauty.
Warrior Lanling was a great soldier in the Northern Qi Dynasty. His name is Gao Changgong. Because the fief is in Lanling near Xuzhou, he is called Warrior Lanling. The ancestor of the Northern Qi Dynasty was Gao Huan, and Gao Huan's eldest son was Warrior Lanling's father. Warrior Lanling is his fourth child. Warrior Lanling's background is remarkable. But here is a very strange situation. The mothers of the six Warrior Lanling brothers and the other five brothers are clearly recorded, but who is Warrior Lanling's mother is not recorded in the history books. At that time, there was no taboo about women's social status, even if the mother was a prostitute. The mother of one of his younger brothers is a prostitute. Is Warrior Lanling's mother's status as low as that of a prostitute? Historical records did not give an answer, so his life experience was covered with a mysterious veil.
Warrior Lanling is famous for being brave and good at fighting. There was a fierce battle between the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Mangshan. Warrior Lanling, a famous soldier in Northern Qi Dynasty, led 5 fighters into enemy lines twice, killing countless enemies. All the way to the northwest of Luoyang at the gates of Jin Yong, surrounded by the enemy. The garrison commander of Beiqi in the city saw the newcomer wearing a mask. He didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend. While he was hesitating, Warrior Lanling suddenly took off his mask, revealing a beautiful face. The people above recognized Warrior Lanling, and they were furious, and all the arrows were fired at the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The following 5 soldiers, led by Warrior Lanling, became braver and braver. As a result, the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was defeated under this attack. Warrior Lanling's war is a cinch. The question is why does he always wear a mask when he fights? I'm afraid it's still beautiful. History books say that he is soft in appearance and strong in heart, as white as a belle. His beauty is not the beauty of strength that has always been advocated, but a very feminine beauty. In this way, I am afraid that others will look down on him. Therefore, wearing a hideous mask (or covering your face with real armor) can achieve the goal of winning without fighting. Unfortunately, there is no portrait of him handed down in history, which also gives us more room for imagination.
Warrior Lanling is beautiful, brave, loves soldiers like children, and has a rigorous private life, which is almost perfect. But he also has a shortcoming: greedy for money. At the door of his house, there is an endless stream of bribers, which is very criticized. His subordinates Xiang Xiang once asked him, why are you greedy for money when you are so high and rich? Warrior Lanling was silent. I wish to go on, maybe you are afraid of your own success, so you deliberately want to make some stains. But it's no use trying to discredit yourself now. If the emperor wants to hurt you, this is just a handle. Warrior Lanling knelt down with tears and said, You're right. I'm willing to say that you should retire. Warrior Lanling took his advice and became passive. He didn't fight so hard. He didn't go for treatment when he got sick. If he wanted to get sick, he could retire early. But in this way, the action was too slow, and soon it was fatal.
once, the emperor summoned Warrior Lanling. The emperor told him with concern that you are too brave when you fight, and you often go deep into the enemy lines, which is very dangerous. Warrior Lanling made a slip of the tongue and said, This is my family business. Hearing this, the emperor couldn't sleep. Do you and I still want to separate? Isn't this to usurp the throne and seize power? What may happen if the average person makes a mistake, but Warrior Lanling is a war fighter and has a position, and the emperor can't let him go. So the emperor gave poisoned wine to his house. Warrior Lanling was very indignant when he got the poisoned wine. He said that I have been a country all my life. What have I done wrong now, and God wants to do this to me? Originally, in order to protect himself, he stopped being a hero, deliberately discrediting himself, but in the end it was born to die. As a poem goes, since ancient times, beauty has been a famous star, and it is forbidden to see each other. The age of Warrior Lanling's death is not recorded in detail, but it is estimated that he died in due course.
Warrior Lanling died young, and Beiqi lost its military pillar. Four years later, Beiqi was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and almost all members of the Beiqi royal family were slaughtered. In the killing of troubled times, people's hearts are like a sea of fire, and the beauty of Warrior Lanling is like a wisp of white plum fragrance floating in blood, which is heartbreaking.
Wei Jie: The birthplace of death is ominous, from the Western Jin Dynasty. Born "as delicate as a flower and as tender as a powder", he often plays in the streets of Luoyang in an Aries car. Looking from a distance, it looks like a statue of white jade carving, and people call it "wall man". One year he went to Xiadu City to play, only to be watched by countless gorgeous women, which made him unable to have a good rest for several days. This beautiful young man with weak constitution finally became very tired and sick, and died of a disease. See article 14 of Shi Shuo Xin Yu Rong Zhi: "Wei has been known for a long time from Yuzhang to Xiadu, and the audience is like a wall. First, there was a disease, and the body was unbearable, so it became ill and died. At that time, people said,' Watch and kill Wei Jun.. "(This handsome boy probably died the funniest of the four handsome men. He was a man of Wei and Jin Dynasties. He was extremely beautiful, as beautiful as pearls and jade, and had enough fans to form a regular teacher. This is not bragging. Once when he went out, he was surrounded by "fans". "The audience was like a wall." The people who looked at him were surrounded by three floors and three floors. Wei Jie may have fainted on the spot and died soon after returning home. This is the origin of the allusion "Watch and kill Wei Jun". This tragedy caused by beauty is really amazing. Poor Mr. Wang Shuai is so fragrant that he can't help but regret it. )
The second edition: Pan An, Cao Zhi, Shen Yue and Wei Jie (widely circulated)
Cao Zhi was the son of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei. He was born with a "clear mind and beautiful bones", imposing manner, and "wise and sensitive, good at writing". Widely read by later generations, it can be called both talent and appearance.
Shen Yue was born in the Liang Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The famous poet Li Yu, the late master of the Southern Tang Dynasty, wrote the phrase "Shen Yao Pan Bian Kill", which refers to Shen Yue. Later, Xia Wanchun, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, also wrote a poem, "The wine glass is always thinking about Tao, and the belt is surrounded by hate for Shen Lang." This thin-waisted man refers to Shen Yue.
Pan An and Wei Jie, as mentioned above, have other versions, all of which are out of the top ten beautiful men.
