Life is long and fleeting, some people see dust, others see stars

According to legend, In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty , the prefect of Nan'an in Jiangxi had an only daughter named Du Liniang. Du Liniang was born with beauty. Although she was not the most beautiful girl in the country, she was still pretty and beautiful. She came from a scholarly family. Liniang's character was naturally gentle and elegant. However, it may be because her parents were too busy and neglected to accompany her. Liniang had been a bit sentimental since she was a child.

Although Liniang is already in her prime, it is the time when love begins and girls are pregnant, but because of the strict discipline at home, Liniang usually stays at home and has almost no chance to meet the love of her dreams. When there was really nothing to do, Liniang begged her father to hire a teacher to teach him. It was rare for his daughter to make a request for him, so his father visited the whole city and specially invited the old scholar Chen Zuiliang to teach Liniang.

Although Chen Zuiliang is a bit pedantic, he is also dedicated in teaching knowledge; one day Chen Zuiliang talked about "Guan Guan Jujiu" in Book of Songs . Seeing that Liniang was confused, he explained to him the beautiful love story in it. . Liniang was originally a young girl in love. After listening to this song, she became even more yearning for love and wished she could find a husband and live together together.

After some time, Liniang returned from her spring outing. She was really tired. She quickly fell asleep on the bed with the setting sun by the window. Not long after he fell asleep, he saw a scholar holding a willow branch and inviting him to go out and compose poems. For some reason, she felt no longer sleepy, so Liniang followed the scholar and recited poems. Liniang's heart was filled with excitement when she saw that the scholar was as handsome as a jade tree in the wind, and that he was also knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I don’t know how much time passed, but the scholar hugged her gently. Liniang closed her eyes shyly. The scholar just bowed her head and kissed her. Liniang’s whole body went limp, and she allowed the scholar to hold her in his arms all the way to the Peony Pavilion. In the pavilion, There is no need to go into details about Yun Yu.

Deep in love, Liniang suddenly woke up, looked at the sunset outside the window, and suddenly realized that it was just a dream. After that, Liniang always missed the lover in her dream, looked for the footprints in her dreams countless times, and sat quietly in the Peony Pavilion countless times, but she never saw the scholar, even in her dreams. As time passed, Liniang became lovesick and fell ill. Her father searched for famous doctors but could not find a cure. Unfortunately, Liniang could not tell the reason. In the end, Liniang died because of this.

At this time, Liniang's father was promoted to the post of Huaiyang's comfort envoy. Before leaving, his father was so sad that he finally followed the family's advice and buried his daughter under the plum tree in the back garden, and built a "Plum Blossom" there. Temple". Liniang died of lovesickness, and a ray of fragrant soul wandered to the underworld. Seeing that the wandering soul had not entered the reincarnation, the judge asked about the cause of death. After Liniang recounted this dream love, the judge checked the marriage blog and found that Liniang was indeed married to the new top scholar Liu Mengmei , so he allowed Liniang to return to the world as a wandering soul and live in Meihua. Meihua Temple is waiting for the new champion.

At this time, scholar Liu Mengmei was on her way to Beijing to take the exam. For some unknown reason, she suddenly contracted a cold and had to stay in Meihua Nunnery. It is strange to say that Liu Mengmei stopped taking medicine soon after she moved into the nunnery. And get better. When Liniang came back from the underworld, she saw Liu Mengmei staying in the nunnery. With just one glance, Liniang realized that this scholar was the lover of her dreams. That night, Liniang came and knocked on the door of the scholar's room. She thought she would need some explanation, but it turned out that the scholar had the same dream and was equally deeply in love with the person in the dream. Liu Mengmei did not dislike Liniang's wandering spirit, but instead comforted her. From then on, the two fell in love with each other and lived a close-knit couple life in this plum blossom nunnery.

After a while, the Taoist nun who was guarding Meihua Temple discovered a problem, so Liu Mengmei simply told her the reason. The Taoist nun was also a deeply affectionate person, so the two immediately discussed whether they could resurrect Liniang. The next day, the two men quietly dug up Liniang's grave. The two people who dug the grave were shocked by the scene in the coffin. It turned out that Liniang's body was as if it were still alive, without any change. That night Liniang returned to her own body as a wandering soul, and they became a real couple within two days.

After the two became husband and wife, Liniang accompanied Liu Mengmei all the way to Kyoto to take the exam. After taking the exam, Liu Mengmei thought of giving Liniang a surprise, so she went directly to Huaiyang to find Liniang's father. At this time, Du's father was already the governor. As soon as he arrived at the door of Du's mansion, Liu Mengmei claimed to be the Du family's son-in-law. Du's father was furious, thinking that this man was just here to get relatives, and this excuse was too casual. You must know that his only daughter has been dead for almost three years.

Originally, Father Du was going to just beat Liu Mengmei, but when he heard that Liu Mengmei dug up her daughter's grave, he became even more angry. Originally, Du's father had always felt sorry for his daughter's death, but now someone came out and said he was his son-in-law and dug up his daughter's grave. This was simply unforgivable, so Du's father decided to execute Liu Mengmei according to law.

When Liu Mengmei was being imprisoned, the imperial court sent someone to summon Du Mansion. It turned out that Liu Mengmei had become the number one scholar in high school, so Liu Mengmei was able to escape. However, because Du's father witnessed his daughter's burial with his own eyes, he did not believe in the theory of his daughter's resurrection. Instead, he thought that the number one scholar might be a goblin, so he wrote a memorial and submitted it to the emperor.

The emperor was naturally interested in such a strange thing, and immediately brought Liniang, Zhuangyuanlang and Du's father to the court for verification in court. Afterwards, the emperor used many methods to finally determine that Liniang was the real person, so he ordered the father and daughter to recognize each other and return home immediately to get married.

Tang Xianzu has a saying: "People like Du Liniang can be said to have the ears of a lover. I don't know where the love comes from, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Those who live but cannot die, and those who die but cannot be resurrected are both. It’s not about love.”

Only people like Liniang can truly be called sentimental people. Her feelings burst out unconsciously, and she fell deeper and deeper. When you are alive, you are willing to die for love, and after you die, you are also willing to live for love. Those who live unwilling to die for love, and those who die but cannot be resurrected because of love, cannot be regarded as truly having feelings!
