Shi is the first of the four beauties in ancient China and the first female spy in China. Did she finally die?

Shi, the word Yiguang, was born in Zhuluo Village, Zhuji, Zhejiang during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Because of her natural beauty and stunning beauty, people don't call her by her first name, but only call her Nishimura girl Shi. At that time, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, took troops into the state of Yue to avenge his father's death, and captured Gou Jian, the king of Yue, alive. The couple were taken to the state of Wu as slaves. Three years later, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, returned to Gou Jian. After Gou Jian returned to China, he tried to avenge himself. "Let's get together every ten years, but every ten years gives us another lesson." He dedicated Xi to Fu Cha, the king of Wu, with Fan Li's honey trap. Shi endured humiliation and made great contributions to the country. With her charming appearance and superb piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, she became the favorite concubine of the king of Wu. Since then, the king of Wu was addicted to debauchery and indifferent to state affairs, and finally ended up betraying his relatives and friends, which played a cover role for Gou Jian's comeback. With her internal help, Gou Jian finally wiped out Wu Guo Fu. Finally, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, drew his sword and killed himself, ending the wuyue war that lasted for decades. Shi returned to his hometown, but what happened after he came back?

There are always different opinions about the ending of History. The first theory is that she followed Fan Li to live in seclusion in the Five Lakes. Shi and Ben are lovers. Later, in order to save the country, I had to sacrifice my love for the country. After his successful return to China, he thought that Gou Jian could be * * * worried but not * * * happy. If he stays any longer, he will be in danger He suggested running away with Shi and living in seclusion. Because the legend is popular all over the rivers and lakes, perhaps it is the tragic ending of this peerless beauty that later generations could not bear, and the story of getting married after living in seclusion in the five lakes spread to show sympathy.

This statement seems to have some basis. According to historical records, Gou Jian is very calculating. As early as when he was held hostage by Wu, Fu Cha fell ill once. Gou Jian went to visit the sick and tasted the shit of Fu tea. Fu Cha was surprised by Gou Jian's practice and asked him why. Gou Jian said: "I can judge the development of the disease by smelling feces and the like;" The sweetness is not good, and the bitterness gradually heals. Now it tastes bitter, and it doesn't hurt to know the sacred bow of the king. "Through these words, we can see that Gou Jian is a ruthless, sinister and diabolical person. Fan Li assisted Gou Jian for decades and knew him like the back of his hand. Therefore, it was a wise choice for him to retire after the restoration of Vietnam. It seems to be a rule that many rulers in the history of China killed heroes after their achievements. Therefore, Gou Jian will not let go easily.

But the crux of the matter is, even if Shi escaped, why did he escape with him? The Five Emperors of the Tang Dynasty quoted the Yuejueshu of the Eastern Han Dynasty as saying: "After the Wu Dynasty, the teacher returned and went with the five lakes." Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in Du Niang's Poems: "Learning calligraphy to Suzhou drove away barbarians." ("Yi Yi" here refers to Fan Li in Historical Records? There is a record of Fan Li's "crossing the ocean, changing his name and surname, calling himself Pi" in the family of Gou Jian, King of Yue. According to these records, Liang Chenyu, a playwright in Ming Dynasty, compiled an influential "Huansha Ji". He said: and have long been engaged. After Wu's death, he made great contributions to thinking that Yue guessed it was cruel, but it was difficult and not rich, so he bravely withdrew his troops and crossed the five lakes by boat with his teacher on a sunny night. "A few years ago, Ci Hai (revised edition) published in Shanghai also said:" The teacher is Xizi. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yue people were betrothed to Fu Cha, the king of Wu, and became Fu Cha's favorite concubine. Legend has it that after Wu died, he entered the five lakes. " It is said that after Heshi retired to the Five Lakes, every morning Shishi dressed neatly in front of a bronze mirror and poured some powdery water into the lake, so that the snails in the lake would have color. In Song Dynasty, Yao Zhang wrote a poem: "My uncle used to live here, and his thread was full of colorful silk. In autumn, he can still learn from the teacher. " Zhu Yizun, a poet in A Qing, also wrote a poem like this: "In March, flowers fall and stones are buried, and the temple is in a lonely corner. The water is low in snail color, and thousands of silk are hung on the lake. " This is what I'm talking about.

However, there is no such thing as "going with the five lakes" in Yuejueshu, and other paragraphs about Heshi's seclusion in the rivers and lakes are based on the Tang version of Yuejueshu. We don't know whether this is a lost article in the time chain of historical changes or a beautiful love story invented by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

The second theory is that he was drowned by a stone. This statement was first recorded in Mozi? "Pro-history" records: "It is more dry than it is resistant; Meng Ben's death was brave; Beauty of beauty lies in beauty of beauty. Wu Qizhi's split, its matter also. This sentence explains that she was submerged in the water because of her beauty. " "Magnolia in Wen Xiu" quoted the records in the history of Wu Yue Chun Qiu written by the Eastern Han Dynasty, saying: "The more you drift to the west, the more you apply to the river, the more you die with barbarians. "The word" floating "here also means" sinking "."Yi Yi "is a piece of leather. After Wu's death, the King of Yue put the stone in a leather bag and sank it into the river.

The Mystery of History Missing (2)

Feng Menglong's Biography of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Death of Queen Bai Yang are based on the historical facts of Wu Yue Chun Qiu. The plot is as follows: The King of Yue brought Xi Shi back to Yue, and Gou Jian let her be the bedroom on the first night: "Fu Cha can sleep with you, why can't I?" King Yue's wife is very jealous. She hates him. She carried the king of Yue on her back and sank the stone into the water. She also said, "This is a disaster. How can we stay here for a long time? " As a tool of "honey trap", it is reasonable to be abandoned after the job is done.

Lin Daiyu, who is also a bad karma, also supports the idea of being submerged. She wrote in the poem "Xi Poetry": A generation of beautiful women chase waves, and the Wu Palace misses their children's homes. The effect is not to laugh at the women in the east village, but to wear yarn by the white stream. The last two sentences in the poem mean: Don't laugh at the ugly girl in the East, but she can safely ring the yarn by the stream until her hair turns white. The main idea of this poem is that a beautiful girl has a short life span and an ugly girl has a long life span. The life of a stunning beauty flies away because it is often used by politicians as a "honey trap" and becomes a victim of men's struggle for power and profit. And when things are done, that is, the day when these unlucky women die.

Of course, some people think that it was not drowned by the queen, but by her lover. This statement is cruel. It says that after the death of Wu, the King of Yue wanted to keep Shi around because she was beautiful, but she resolutely opposed it. He wanted the King of Yue to learn from the lessons of the King of Wu and not to be tempted by beauty. He made a plan to send someone to cheat the King of Yue's car to Taihu Lake, and then cheat her to the boat. When she reached the middle of the lake, she pushed the stone off the boat and it drowned in Taihu Lake. This statement can't stand scrutiny. After the state of Yue destroyed Wu, it left without saying goodbye and changed its name to "garment skin", which means leather bag. Why did he change his surname to Zhu when he was in Yue State, but changed his surname to "Li Pi" when he went out to Tao (now Dingtao, Shandong Province)? This bizarre move happened after the stone fell into the river, so it is conclusive evidence of falling in love with the stone. Fan Li is not a heartless person. Now that he has decided to leave Yue, he won't do this to his lover.

There is also a view that Shi drowned because of Gou Jian's jealousy. According to the Spring and Autumn Annals, the King of Yue "was the daughter who received a salary in Xiang Shu, called Shi, and decorated Luo clothes, taught her to behave with tolerance, studied in Tucheng, lived and served in Wu for three years". During the three years of studying in the palace, Yu deeply planted the seeds of love. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was obviously moved by the beauty of the stone, but in order to achieve his great achievements, he could only dedicate the stone to the king of Wu. In order to let Shi fulfill his mission for him, Gou Jian and he agreed to give him after the death of Wu, which not only fulfilled their love, but also stabilized Shi's heart so that they could stay in the palace of Wu and live abroad. But after the destruction of Wu, the insidious Gou Jian changed his mind. He won't let the woman he loves fall into other people's hands, so he ordered the stone to be drowned.

There is also a saying that the stone accidentally fell into the water and died People don't want Shi, an innocent and weak woman, to have a tragic ending, so they find out the poem "Huansha" by Song, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty: "Once in the old capital, you can find beauty; According to "birds frighten dreams, fish are afraid of lotus flowers", it is believed that Shi returned to his hometown after the demise of Wu, and accidentally fell into the water while washing gauze. Today, it is located in Xi Shi's hometown, at the foot of Zhuji Mountain in the south of the city. Huansha Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in 1986. These buildings include Xi Shi Hall, Zheng Danting and Gu Yue Terrace. On the banks of the Huansha River, there is a place where Xi Shi Huan Sha, and the word "Huansha" written by Wang Xizhi is engraved on the rocks by the river. Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a quatrain in Jingyang well: "Jingyang Palace is sad, and the oath period is endless; The water outside the Wu Palace is heartbroken, and the muddy mud is still buried with stones. "Another poet, Pi Rixiu, also has a poem called Looking Back at the Ancient Palace. The fifth poem is: "the golden steps of the corridor, the corpses of the leading edge are collected and continued on the Apple Mountain; I don't know where the water is buried today, but the stream and the moon are bent. As can be seen from these two poems, there was also a saying that the stone sank in water in the Tang Dynasty, but neither of them talked about the relationship between stone and water. It seems ideal to say that the stone accidentally fell into the water, but the lack of evidence is just speculation.

Obviously, although these statements are different, they all think that they were submerged by stones. Now there is a tongue-shaped writing in the coastal sediments. Everyone says it is the tongue of stone, so it is called "the tongue of stone". When Yu Dafu, a famous writer, was in Fujian in 1930s, he also praised Changle's "Xishi Tongue" as the best in Fujian cuisine.

Beauty is unlucky since ancient times. Ishihara was originally a peasant woman, but because she was beautiful, she became a tool in the political struggle of Yue King. After the job is done, it is also reasonable to be "sad when a rabbit dies". As for whether to retire with the five lakes or sink into the bottom of the river, it can only be judged by future generations themselves.
