Let’s talk about Liaozhai at the beginning, I scared all the fans on the Internet to death

"My grass..."

No one thought of it.

Liu Xiyi would have such an ending.

"Um, Teacher Jiang Ning, how old was Liu Xiyi when he died?"

"Just turned 30."

"I said, how could this beast do this? This is my nephew."

For an instant.

Everyone felt like their hearts were suddenly blocked.

"Everyone, there is no need to be so emotional. In history, this kind of thing is too common. So, since everyone is so stuck in their hearts, I will tell you about an extremely infatuated and extremely successful poet."

"That's a good idea, Teacher Jiang Ning, who is this poet?"

"Yuan Zhen."

Jiang Ning said.

"Yuan Zhen? Teacher Jiang Ning, it seems that Yuan Zhen was a high official during the Tang Dynasty and also served as prime minister."

"Yes, that's him."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Maybe those who know more about history know this Yuan Zhen, but I guess many people don't know it either. So, here I will first tell you about this Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen is a person in the middle Tang Dynasty. During that period, he was a minister, a poet, and a talented man. However, Yuan Zhen's family situation was not good when he was young. His father died when he was eight years old, and he was raised by his mother. In order to get rid of poverty, Yuan Zhen So he did not take the Jinshi exam, but took the Ming Jing Ke exam. And he passed the exam when he was ten years old."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what is Ming Jing Ke?"

"The Ming Jing Ke was also an examination for selecting officials in the Tang Dynasty. However, it was one level lower than the Jinshi Ke. But the Ming Jing Ke was relatively easy. Most of the exams were fill-in-the-blank questions. More than 100 people were admitted each time. It's a pity that although Yuan Zhen was admitted to the Ming Jing Ke when he was in his teens. However, even if he passed the exam during the Tang Dynasty, he did not necessarily become an official immediately. He had to go through the selection of the Ministry of Personnel. Therefore, at that time Passing the exam only means that you are qualified to be an official, and you have obtained a professional qualification certificate. If you want to be an official, you must pass the Ministry of Civil Affairs examination. Therefore, Yuan Zhen did not become a minor official until he was 21 years old."

"Later, in order to go further, Yuan Zhen took many exams and achieved good results. But after all, Yuan Zhen's family has declined, and he has no resources and no background. Therefore, Yuan Zhen has always been just a A minor official. But Yuan Zhen was very talented. At that time, Wei Xiaqing, the military commander of the Lingnan Jiedushi Army, was very optimistic about Yuan Zhen and married his daughter to Yuan Zhen. From then on, Yuan Zhen had some political resources and was promoted in the officialdom. faster."

Still the same as before.

Jiang Ning was talking and drawing at the same time.

On the drawing board, the story of Yuan Zhen is the version of a talented man and a beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty.

One is a talented young man.

The other is a beautiful woman from a good family background.

When the two come together, it's a perfect match.

"Yuan Zhen and his wife Wei Cong were very affectionate after they got married. Although Yuan Zhen's family background was not good and he had little money when they first got married, his wife Wei Cong didn't care at all and kept cheering Yuan Zhen up. At the same time, his wife Wei Cong She was also a very talented and knowledgeable girl. The two wrote poems together and discussed political affairs together. This period was also Yuan Zhen's happiest time. But unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Seven years later, Wei Cong died of illness. , when he was 7 years old.”

The story of a talented man and a beautiful lady has always been popular with everyone.

At this time, when it came to the death of Yuan Zhen's wife Wei Cong, many people also sighed with emotion.

"It's too early to die."

"Pity."

There were constant regrets in the live broadcast room.

Jiang Ning also nodded, and then said: "The death of his wife Wei Cong was a great blow to Yuan Zhen. Many times, Yuan Zhen missed his wife extremely. But his wife had passed away, and he had no choice. He had to turn his thoughts into For one mourning poem after another.”

[In the past, we joked about the consequences behind our lives, but now we are all seeing them before our eyes.

The clothes have been executed, but the needles and threads are still unbearable.

Shang Xiang had pity for the maidservant in his old love, and once gave money out of dream.

I sincerely know that everyone has this hatred, and poor and lowly couples suffer from everything. 】

This poem is called "Removal of Sorrow".

There are three songs in total to express sadness, and this is the most famous one among them.

This poem is written with great sincerity.

Just like what is written in the poem.

Wei Cong is not only a talented woman, but also has very good moral character.

Although her family situation was not very good when she married Yuan Zhen, she knew better that there were many ordinary people who were not as good as them.

Therefore, during his lifetime, Wei Cong would help the people as long as he had spare money.

So.

After Wei Cong died, Yuan Zhen gave away a lot of clothes to ordinary people just as his wife Wei Cong had done before her death.

But even though he gave away a series of belongings, Yuan Zhen couldn't bear to throw away the sewing box left by Wei Cong.

And every time I see it I feel extremely sad.

It is precisely because Yuan Zhen missed his wife so much that after his wife died, Yuan Zhen was also very kind to his wife's maids.

He only hoped that if these things were done well enough, then the two of them could become husband and wife again in the next life.

But then again.

Although Yuan Zhen knew that this kind of separation between couples had happened to many people.

but.

Poor and humble couples like them feel even more sad every time they think of separation.

This is what makes poor and humble couples miserable.

"What an infatuated man."

"I sincerely know that everyone has this kind of hatred, and poor and humble couples suffer from everything. It's so well written."

"Yes, even when I heard it as a girl, I felt that Yuan Zhen was too infatuated."

Everyone was talking about it for a while.

Although Yuan Zhen's wife passed away early, this was not what everyone wanted to see.

But after Yuan Zhen's wife left, they saw an extremely infatuated man.

"not only."

Jiang Ning continued: "Because he misses his wife too much, Yuan Zhen's poems are not just the one above. There is also a more classic one."

side said.

Jiang Ning wrote another poem by Yuan Zhen on the drawing board.

【once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.

I look back lazily at the flowers, half destined to practice Taoism and half destined to be a king. 】

This poem is called "Lisi Si".

There are five songs in total called Li Si, and this is one of them.

This is also the most widely circulated song by Yuan Zhen.

in this poem. Yuan Zhen compared his wife to the sea and Wushan.

As the poem says:

Once I have experienced the vast sea, I feel that the water elsewhere pales in comparison; I once experienced the mist of Wushan Mountain, and I feel that the clouds elsewhere pale in comparison. Although I often walk through the flowers, I have no intention of admiring them. Why is this? It’s partly because I am practicing Taoism, and partly it’s because of you.

As soon as this poem came out, the live broadcast room became agitated.

"This poem is amazing."

"Once upon a time, the sea was difficult to overcome, except for Wushan, it was nothing but clouds. It was so beautiful and so infatuated."

"I didn't expect that Yuan Zhen, who had been the prime minister, would be so infatuated."

"Well, I knew about Yuan Zhen when I was studying history, but looking at it now, I have never understood Yuan Zhen."

"Of course. If you haven't read Yuan Zhen's poems, how do you know Yuan Zhen's inner thoughts?"

"I love it, I love it. After reading Yuan Zhen's poems, I finally feel comfortable."

Yes.

It can be said.

Yuan Zhen's two love poems were a hit as soon as they came out.

Even if fans have read countless poems, Yuan Zhen's two poems about missing his deceased wife can still be ranked in the top three.

Especially combined with the experience of Yuan Zhen and his wife, it infected everyone.

just.

sometimes.

There are two sides to things.

……

"Teacher Jiang Ning, later on, I remember that Yuan Zhen seemed to have lived for more than 50 years. Although it was not a long life, there should be many stories behind him."

As soon as Yuan Zhen's two poems came out, everyone became extremely interested in Yuan Zhen.

In response to the netizen's question, Jiang Ning nodded.

in fact.

He was also ready to continue talking.

after all.

sometimes.

Although some poems look beautiful.

but.

If you don’t know the poet himself at all, then your understanding of these poems will only be superficial.

Only by deeply understanding the poet's life and his life experience can we have a clearer understanding of the meaning behind these poems.

Simultaneously.

Even if sometimes he writes some very good poems, we may not necessarily think that these poems represent the poet's character.

Just like Song Zhiwen.

He is indeed very talented and learned, and he does write very good poems.

But when you truly understand Song Zhiwen, you will find that talent, learning and virtue are not equated.

and so.

In order to let everyone understand Yuan Zhen better, Jiang Ning continued: "Actually, Yuan Zhen was indeed infatuated with his wife. However, Yuan Zhen's story did not end. After Yuan Zhen's wife passed away, although Yuan Zhen missed his wife very much, But life must go on. During this period, Yuan Zhen wrote a legendary script "The Story of Yingying". The protagonist in the book is called Zhang Sheng, and the heroine is called Cui Yingying. At that time, there was a military rebellion in Puzhou, and Zhang Sheng rescued The Zheng family. The Zheng family was very grateful to Zhang Sheng and hosted a banquet to invite Zhang Sheng. During the banquet, Zhang Sheng met Cui Yingying, who was staying with the Zheng family."

"Zhang Sheng fell in love with Cui Yingying as soon as he saw her, but he didn't know how to please Cui Yingying, so he wrote several poems to Cui Yingying to express his love to her. Later, Cui Yingying also fell in love with Zhang Sheng because of her talent. , gradually fell in love with Zhang Sheng and entrusted himself to Zhang Sheng. Unfortunately, Zhang Sheng changed his mind after he went to Beijing to take the exam. Many years later, Cui Yingying was married, and Zhang Sheng also married another girl. Once Zhang Sheng passed by Cui Yingying's house. Zhang Sheng suddenly missed Cui Yingying and wanted to meet Cui Yingying as his cousin. However, Cui Yingying had given up and refused Zhang Sheng's request and wrote a poem to refuse. After this legendary work was written, , was deeply loved by dignitaries and ordinary people at that time, and it was expensive in Luoyang for a while."

Simultaneously.

This legendary story was later continuously modified by many people, and eventually became the prototype of The West Chamber.

"I didn't expect Yuan Zhen to write legendary novels?"

"It has long been known that legendary novels originated from the Tang Dynasty. It seems that Yuan Zhen also made outstanding contributions to the development of our Chinese legendary novels."

"Yes, this is a patriarch-level figure. I am worshiping him."

just.

Before the fans could express their feelings, Jiang Ning continued: "Actually, the prototype character in this story created by Yuan Zhen is none other than Yuan Zhen himself."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned: "Teacher Jiang Ning, there is something I don't understand."

"It's okay, everyone will understand after I finish speaking."

Jiang Ning continued: "In fact, before Yuan Zhen married Wei Cong, he had a relationship with a girl from the Cui family. However, this girl from the Cui family had an average family background and was not as good as the Wei family. Until, when Yuan Zhen entered After taking the exam in Beijing, he was appreciated by Wei Xiaqing. Moreover, Yuan Zhen also learned that Wei Xiaqing had an unmarried daughter about the same age as himself. So Yuan Zhen thought about it seriously, and he felt that although he He had feelings for the Cui girl, but the Cui family was relatively ordinary and could not help him. Wei Xiaqing was not only a high-ranking official, but also had deep resources and power. After the pros and cons of power, Yuan Zhen gave up on the Cui girl. And this The name of the Cui girl is Cui Yingying."

"I...Nima."

A dramatic turn that no one could have imagined.

What about the infatuation you promised?

What about the promised "It used to be difficult to make water in the sea, except for Wushan, it's not clouds"?

What about the promised [I sincerely know that everyone has this kind of hatred, and poor and lowly couples will suffer from everything]?

"Teacher Jiang Ning, my heart is blocked again."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, I have to strangle you to death."

Everyone felt like they were vomiting blood.

But Jiang Ning said: "There is no need for you to be like this. In fact, you can't blame Yuan Zhen for this. After all, at that time, it was important to be well-matched. Cui Yingying comes from an ordinary family, while Wei Cong comes from an official family. If it were you, who would you marry?"

"That's true, but isn't it a bit scumbag?"

"It's true, but it's just a little bit."

Jiang Ning said: "Compared to Yuan Zhen's subsequent experiences, this is nothing."

"Teacher Jiang Ning, what other experiences does Yuan Zhen have in the future?"

"Don't worry, I'll talk to everyone slowly."

Jiang Ning picked up the drawing board again, and then drew another woman.

"This woman's name is Xue Tao, a famous talented woman in the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, she is 10 years older than Yuan Zhen. But Yuan Zhen didn't mind. Once, when Yuan Zhen was transferred to Shu, he saw Xue Tao. Facing this famous talented woman in the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Zhen used his fame skills again and wrote a series of love poems to Xue Tao. Facing Yuan Zhen’s talent, this well-known talented woman Xue Tao quickly fell. . But it is a pity that although Xue Tao is a talented woman, she is a happy girl. Yuan Zhen is already a high-ranking official at this time, and it is impossible for him to marry such a woman. In the end, Xue Tao became a monk after he could no longer wait for Yuan Zhen. Got a female Taoist priest.”

"But it was not over. Later, Yuan Zhen met another woman named Liu Caichun. Like Xue Tao, Liu Caichun was also a well-known talented woman. However, generally speaking, Yuan Zhen evaluated Liu Caichun slightly less than Xue Tao. But Yuan Zhen also liked her very much. Liu Caichun believed that although Liu Caichun's poetry and prose were inferior to Xue Tao's, his appearance was superior to Xue Tao's. At this time, Yuan Zhen was already the governor and the top leader of Shu, and Liu Caichun was also married to a wife. But because of Yuan Zhen's talent and Power, the two have been together for seven years, and outsiders dare not say a word..."

When it comes to this.

In the live broadcast room, everyone felt like their eyes were about to fall off. (End of chapter)
