Chapter 1001: Scumbag
"It is extraordinary for Xue Tao to get such a literary name in the Tang Dynasty where the stars were shining brightly." Li Dongping couldn't help but feel a little admiration.
While talking, everyone came to Pipa Lane, Zhou Zhi said: "That is, many famous poets such as Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi, Zhang Ji, Wang Jian, Liu Yuxi, Du Mu, Zhang Hu and others, She has a singing relationship with her."
"Wang Jianyou wrote a song. The famous "Book to Xue Tao of Shuzhong" writes like this: "The girl's school book is by the bridge thousands of miles away, living behind closed doors under the loquat flowers. How much does a talented person know, but it is not as good as leading the spring breeze?"
" From then on, Xue Tao had another nickname - the eyebrow-sweeping genius."
Listening to Xue Tao's story in the alley where Xue Tao lived, everyone couldn't help but be fascinated. Li Yijia couldn't help but ask: "So many poets admire Xue Tao, did she find her destination later?"
Zhou Zhiyao He shook his head and said, "We have been infinitely close before. , but in the end it was a pity. "
"In March of the fourth year of Yuanhe, the poet Yuan Zhen, who was in his prime at that time, was ordered to go to the place as a supervisory censor. He had heard the name of Xue Tao, a poet in Sichuan for a long time. , so after arriving in Shu, I specially asked her to meet her in Zizhou. See you.” The belated love made Xue Tao, who was already forty years old, feel the love he had never felt before. I had never been happier and wrote "Two Birds on the Pond" with true feelings. "
"The two lingered on the edge of the Jinjiang River, accompanying each other in the Qingchuan of Shushan, but the separation was inevitable, and Yuan Zhen soon changed. Leaving Sichuan, he worked in Luoyang."
"Xue Tao was very helpless. In order to send poems to Yuan Zhen, Xue Tao became obsessed with the writing paper. She modified the local papermaking process, dyed the paper pink, and cut it into exquisite and narrow paper, which was especially suitable for writing love letters. She was known as Xue Tao Note. "
"It was also because of longing and thinking that Xue Tao created her most famous poem, "Spring Hope Poetry Four". "First". "Flowers bloom differently, and flowers fall differently. If you want to know where you miss each other, when the flowers bloom and fall, you will know the end of the sorrow of spring." , the spring bird sings again.
The wind and flowers are getting old, and the good times are still vague.
The branches are full of flowers, which translates into two lovesickness. The jade chopsticks are hanging down towards the mirror, and the spring breeze knows it. "
"It's a pity that talented people are sentimental and carefree. "Zhou Zhi shook his head: "Yuan Zhen was already married to Wei Cong, the daughter of high-ranking official Wei Xiaqing, but he fell in love with Xue Tao in Shuzhong. After he was appointed to Yuezhou, he fell in love with Liu Caichun, a famous actor. "
"He himself admitted that 'although his poetic talent is not as good as that of Tao, his appearance is beyond compare with Tao'. So the two hit it off. Yuan Zhen also made this love affair vigorous and colorful. He stayed in Zhejiang for seven years, and the two of them kept in contact for seven years. "
"One time Yuan Zhen became very drunk and wrote a poem: "Failure to return after following the rules is not a love for sea bass." ’ Colleague Lu Jianqiu saw the poem and joked: ‘Although the prime minister is not a perch, he is a lover of the spring scenery of Jinghu Lake! ’ It can be seen that the relationship between Yuan Zhen and Liu Caichun at that time was well known to everyone. "
"Like Xue Tao, although the scandal between Liu Caichun and Yuan Zhen was widely circulated, the relationship also ended without any illness. "Zhou Zhi said: "The reason is very simple. Yuan Zhen has been accustomed to preferring the new and hating the old. Liu Caichun, like Xue Tao, has a low status and is not in the right family with Yuan Zhen. ”
"Back to Xue Tao," Zhou Zhi said: "Yuan Zhen was later demoted to Luoyang, during which time he lost his wife and concubines. In the spring of the ninth year of Yuan He, Yuan Zhen took office in Jiangling and summoned Xue Tao again. Xue Tao went from the capital of Shu to Jiangling to meet Yuan Zhen. "
"The two described themselves as husband and wife in the poem. Xue Tao left Shu capital only twice in his life, both for Yuan Zhen, but Yuan Zhen was experiencing Jiang. After being demoted to Ling and Tongzhou, he finally married Pei Shu, a daughter of a noble family. "But Xue Tao took off her favorite red dress and put on a dull gray robe, leaving the bustling Huanhua River and moving here. , built a poem-reciting building in Loquat Lane, Bijifang, and lived quietly."
"In the sixth year of Yamato, he never married. Xue Tao passed away." While talking, everyone came to a cemetery with stones and green grass growing on the ground. The tombstone in front of it said "The Tomb of Xue Tao Hongdu, Secretary of Xichuan Girls' School": "This tombstone is Duan Wenchang, a former prime minister, personally wrote it for Xue Tao."
"Wait a minute, 'There was a time when the sea was difficult to overcome, except for Wushan, it was not clouds. I'm lazy to look back, I'm half a monk and half a king. 'I remember this poem was written by him in memory of his deceased wife!" Tong Xiaolin's face turned pale and she looked like she had been deceived. She gritted her teeth and said, "This scumbag wrote it. Shi is lying everywhere! He married Wei Cong, flirted with Xue Tao and Liu Caichun, and then turned around and married the Pei family daughter. Which relationship is true? "
"It was indeed written by him, but Xiaolin, why did you have such a big reaction?" Zhou Zhi felt horrified. Is this the school student's upper body?
"One of my favorite poems. I thought the author must be a big lover." Tong Xiaolin was very angry: "It turns out to be Chen Shimei!"
"Well, actually in Wei Cong Before, he had an affair with a girl named Cui. However, although Cui was talented and beautiful, and her family was wealthy, she had no power after all. After Yuan Zhen went to Beijing to take the exam, he took advantage of her. With outstanding literary talent, he was appreciated by the new Jingzhao Yin Wei Xiaqing, and he climbed to the top by marrying Wei Cong. "Zhou Zhi said: "After that, he adapted his story and wrote it into a Tang Dynasty legend, which is the version of "The Romance of the West Chamber". The predecessor was "The Story of Yingying". "
"Holy shit! This is so scumbag!" Now, not only Tong Xiaolin, everyone started to angrily condemn.
In fact, this kind of thing was very normal in the Tang Dynasty. Both Xue Tao and Liu Caichun belonged to "low status" or had once belonged to low status. In the Tang Dynasty, low status could not constitute a normal "social person" in the legal sense. "There is a serious lack of social rights. Even if the best among them can leave their nationality and become good people, they have basically reached the pinnacle of their own class and it is difficult to cross them.
For example, Liu Caichun had a husband when he had a close relationship with Yuan Zhen. The two of them ran a small drama club called "Joining the Army Drama" that was popular at the time, and every time they appeared, there were no crowds.
But for someone like Yuan Zhen to sing his poems and be worthy of his concubine, Liu Caichun was considered a high-ranking official with "deep kindness and deep righteousness".
For the generation born under the red flag and raised in New China, it is difficult to bring it into ancient times to consider the social ecology at that time. Under the conditions at that time, Yuan Zhen’s wife was Wei Cong, and his later wife was Pei Shu, Yuan Zhen has deep affection for them, and there is nothing wrong with them.
As for Xue Tao and Liu Caichun, they are just "accessories" that add charm to Yuan Zhen. Their feelings for Yuan Zhen are just dreams that even they themselves never expected to realize.
Therefore, in Xue Tao's poems, there are only deep emotions, only continuous longing, no resentment, no regrets, no regrets.
But he didn't dare to say it, otherwise the indignant people would scold him as Yuan Zhen.
Loquat Alley is not big, with Xue Tao Well, Zhuo Jin Tower, and Xue Tao Tomb all in a short time.
Coming out of the construction area, there is a river beach. You can see the traces of the ancient wharf, the pebbles and reeds on the riverside, and many water birds, which has a bit of a "Jian Jia Cang Cang" artistic conception.
This is undoubtedly a good place to take pictures. With Jianjia as the close-up view and the red-walled ancient trees and bamboo bushes on the pier behind as the distant view, the results were very good. Everyone shot a lot of film here.
"Eh? There is a poem here!" There was a big stone cow by the river. Huang Ruishan found something on the base of the stone cow: "Come and take a look, elbow. What does this mean?"
