and Li Qingzhao’s lyrics are combined with his own personal experience and his own true emotions, fully integrating his emotions into his lyrics.
It can be seen from Li Qingzhao's lyrics that Li Qingzhao was different from other women at the time. She was more willing to write her private affairs generously into her lyrics so as to tell everyone about them.
As a woman, Li Qingzhao’s pattern also makes us sigh. Li Qingzhao's poems were also written according to the three periods of her life, namely the girlhood, the young womanhood and the old womanhood.
The writing styles of these three periods are also different. In the early stage, he praised the beauty of life and was full of hope for life, while in the later stage, he was full of emotion about life.
Although Li Qingzhao experienced many ups and downs and the ending was not happy, after marrying her husband Zhao Mingcheng, the couple also lived a harmonious life for a long time, which made Li Qingzhao and her husband Zhao Mingcheng very affectionate.
After her husband Zhao Mingcheng left home, Li Qingzhao suffered from lovesickness for a time. In order to court her husband after a rain, Li Qingzhao wrote the masterpiece " Ugly Slave ". The words are very bold and impressive. People yearn for it, and this poem has been recited to this day.
01 Li Qingzhao became a talented woman and met Zhao Mingcheng
Li Qingzhao was born in Song Dynasty . Other poets in the same period as her include Su Shi, Qin Guan and Xin Qiji. As the only female poet among them, she has outstanding appearance. , is praised by future generations as the most talented woman throughout the ages.
mentioned at the beginning that Li Qingzhao’s life can be summarized into three periods, starting with Li Qingzhao’s girlhood.
The origin of Li Qingzhao's life experience is also very simple. It can be described as a cultivation system. Now it is a proper " Bai Fumei" .
First of all, it is Li Qingzhao’s grandfather. Her grandfather was once the prime minister of the Song Dynasty and was from a serious and famous family.
In such a family, it is natural to attach great importance to the cultivation of children, so Li Qingzhao's mother was nurtured by her family and influenced by the family environment. also read poetry and books, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. is a veritable master. Lady.
Although Li Qingzhao’s father Li Gefei did not have such a big background, he was also a disciple of the Su family. Under such a family environment, and coupled with Li Qingzhao’s talent and intelligence, liked reading and writing since he was a child, and soon became a Stand out among your peers.
It is said that Li Qingzhao wrote his first work " Ru Meng Ling " at the age of 16. This poem could be said to be a blockbuster at the time and was loved by many people. It caused a lot of excitement in the literary world at that time. Big sensation.
Until now, the poem "Ru Meng Ling" has been included in the textbooks we have learned many times, and we have been asked to memorize and study it since childhood. Li Qingzhao was able to write such a masterpiece at the age of 16. He can really be described as a talented woman. .
Especially the line "" in "Ru Meng Ling" I often remember that the sun is setting in the creek pavilion, and I am so drunk that I don't know where I'm going. I returned to the boat late after my excitement, and strayed into the depths of the lotus root. Fighting for the crossing, fighting for the crossing, surprising the beach "Oll" is even called a famous saying through the ages and is often mentioned.
In this poem, Li Qingzhao will also express according to his own mood, like "It rained last night and the wind blew heavily. I couldn't sleep and I was worried. The person behind the curtain said that the crabapple is still the same. Do you know it? It should be green, fat, red and thin." " is describing my unhappiness at that time.
At a young age, Li Qingzhao has already surpassed many poets in the literary world and is highly accomplished in lyric creation. His lyrics have also attracted the appreciation and research of many people.
In addition to Ru Meng, Li Qingzhao also wrote an article about words " Theory of Words " . In this article, Li Qingzhao boldly and directly expressed his views on this, and wrote about his views on words. The understanding of words and the arrangement of related forms.
also compared the style and format of his lyrics with those of other poets. also directly and boldly pointed out what he thought were errors in the lyrics form of Su Shi, Xin Qiji and others, and proposed "Ci is not a family." "The theoretical proposition of .
One of the comments is like this . Although Liu Yong's lyrics have a harmonious rhythm, the sentence is vulgar. Su Shi, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu just write lyrics that are not consistent with the rhythm.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong 's words can only make people laugh, but cannot be read at all. Qin Guan has real emotions, but is not down to earth. Huang Tingjian has quite substantial content, but it does have minor flaws.
It can be seen from this that Li Qingzhao can be said to have evaluated all the works and poets in the literary world. The content is also very direct. This is also an introduction to most of his girlhood. This period was also the created by Li Qingzhao. peak period.
With the end of Li Qingzhao’s fulfilling and happy girlhood, after meeting her future husband Zhao Mingcheng, Li Qingzhao’s young womanhood gradually began.
As a very famous talented woman at the time, Li Qingzhao, coupled with her handsome appearance and strong family background, his future husband was naturally not much different.
And his later husband Zhao Mingcheng, given the conditions and social status at the time, would still be a "national husband" figure today.
First of all, his father Zhao Tingzhi was a famous important minister in the Song Dynasty. In modern terms, Zhao Mingcheng was a proper second-generation official at that time.
And one of his hobbies also proves his rich family background , that is collecting gold and stones. This hobby is not something that anyone can afford. It is very luxurious in the past and now.
As for Zhao Mingcheng himself, he was also trained and influenced by his father. He read poetry and books and was proficient in various poems. His father hoped that Zhao Mingcheng could be like himself and embark on the road of becoming an official. He has an official position and inherits himself.
Zhao Mingcheng has indeed done it. He also has a poetic atmosphere and a noble atmosphere of a young man. He is very suave, handsome and unrestrained, and is admired by many women.
Therefore, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng can be said to be a perfect match in terms of their family backgrounds, personal abilities, and junior high school appearance.
After they met, they were also attracted by each other's temperament and outstanding appearance. When the two of them get along together, they are in a state of mutual appreciation.
But these are just additional conditions. What really brought Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao together was Zhao Mingcheng's sincerity towards Li Qingzhao.
After Zhao Mingcheng understood what he was thinking, he directly expressed his love for Li Qingzhao and told his father directly that he hoped to go to Li Qingzhao's house to propose marriage and take Li Qingzhao as his wife.
With the consent of both parents, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng became husband and wife, and Li Qingzhao also officially started her period as a young woman.
02 Li Qingzhao wrote "The Ugly Slave" in pursuit of love after the rain.
After marriage, the two were inseparable, playing the piano and the harp in harmony . They were inseparable and loving each other all day long. In addition, the two have many common interests, which makes the two feel more connected with each other.
It is said that Li Qingzhao, like Zhao Mingcheng, also likes to collect various epigraphic cultural relics. After the two of them got together, they became more like husband and wife, collecting and tasting together. Various types of gold and stone, even wrote a book " gold and stone record " together.
The interaction between the couple was passed down by word of mouth by many people in the history of the Song Dynasty at that time. They were a model couple famous throughout the ages.
However, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng lived in the late Song Dynasty, and the court was in turmoil. Li Qingzhao's father was affected and dismissed from his post, and the family was forced to leave the capital and return to his hometown.
Even though Li Qingzhao's father was later exonerated, Zhao Mingcheng's father died due to political struggles. Zhao Mingcheng was influenced by his father and lost his official position.
The two could only pack their bags and return to their original hometown in Qingzhou. Here, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng started a new life. They stayed there for ten years. During these ten years, their daily life was to recite poems and compose poems. , competition endorsement, lives a peaceful life like a couple of gods and gods.
A lot of interesting things happened between the husband and wife when they were together. A heavy rain was very artistic. In such an environment, Li Qingzhao boldly proposed to her husband, and after the proposal, he wrote a letter. The first poem is "Ugly Slave", and the content of this poem was very bold in the Song Dynasty at that time.
The content of this poem is as follows: A gust of wind and rain came in the evening, washing away the scorching light. Put aside the music, but put on light makeup on the water chestnut flowers. The crimson silk threads are thin and the ice is shiny, and the snow is greasy and fragrant. Laughing at Tan Lang, the pillow on the pillow of the gauze kitchen is cool tonight.
It was summer when I wrote this poem. One evening, it suddenly rained and the wind blew, taking away the heat of the day and making the rainy night fresh and cool. At this time, Li Qingzhao was in the same mood. I feel very comfortable. I am sitting at home and arranging my makeup in front of the mirror;
is wearing dark red satin, which makes her look very delicate and beautiful. Moreover, the thin layer of satin makes the skin glow and loom under the color. Look Her clothes were very white, tender and crystal clear; then Li Qingzhao, wearing makeup and tulle, lay there patting the pillow mat next to him, calling his husband "love husband" and extending an invitation.
Just these few sentences make us feel the ambiguous atmosphere between the two at that time, and we can also see the charming style of Li Qingzhao's stunning dress at that time.
The " snow greasy Suxiang" has aroused our infinite reverie. Now that we have realized the meaning contained in it, it is subtle yet beautiful.
Although the style and content of this poem have been sought after and liked by many people, it still caused a lot of controversy in the social context of the time.
We all know that ancient times were a society with very strict feudal ethics. Especially women, they were not even allowed to appear in public, let alone write down the things that happened in their boudoir and tell it to others.
Therefore, many people attach the words , "debauchery" and "superficial" to this poem. However, if you taste this poem carefully, you can also discover the mystery, whether it is the description of the environment or the whole process. The descriptions contain a lot of artistic beauty, and the sentences are also very elegantly written, and there are many things worth appreciating.
How did Li Qingzhao’s husband Zhao Mingcheng feel when he saw such a scene? And how? I like to let this side go. As a man and husband, Zhao Mingcheng can be said to be very happy in his heart. But in ancient times, except for the face and nose, women were not allowed to show other skin to outsiders.
Zhao Mingcheng saw such an unrestrained scene with such thoughts. As a man, he also showed a rare shyness. was even more embarrassed when he saw this poem written by Li Qingzhao.
But Li Qingzhao's approach undoubtedly pleased Zhao Mingcheng, brought the couple closer, and deepened their relationship.
However, happy times are always short-lived. The couple did not live a happy life for long. Zhao Mingcheng died of illness when he reached middle age, leaving Li Qingzhao alone.
When Zhao Mingcheng passed away, Li Qingzhao was only in his forties. From then on, the departure of her husband, the decline of the family, and caused Li Qingzhao's life to decline from its peak.
03 Li Qingzhao’s painful later years
With the appearance of Li Qingzhao’s second husband, it also heralded that Li Qingzhao had entered the last period of his life, which was also the beginning of all painful times. This also corresponds to the sentence, "When he was young How happy you are, how painful it is when you are old." If Zhao Mingcheng knew how Li Qingzhao ended his life, he would definitely feel sad.
Li Qingzhao's second husband was named Zhang Ruzhou. He was a new top scholar at the time. He had read poetry and books since he was a child. Naturally, he had heard about Li Qingzhao's name for a long time and had read Li Qingzhao's famous works, so he began to pay attention to Li Qingzhao. Pursue.
Since Zhao Mingcheng's death, Li Qingzhao's life has become desolate and lonely with the decline of her family, being alone all day long.
Therefore, facing Zhang Ruzhou's pursuit and hoping that he could have someone to rely on in his later years, Li Qingzhao agreed and started the second marriage in his life.
But compared to Zhao Mingcheng, Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruzhou's marriage was not happy, was not smooth, , and there were not so many common languages and common hobbies between the two people.
This resulted in little intersection and communication between the two people, and they became increasingly indifferent. Although Li Qingzhao wanted to find someone to rely on, the two people could not communicate at all. This kind of life not only made Li Qingzhao dull, but also very boring. of depression.
Moreover, during their relationship after marriage, Li Qingzhao also felt that Zhang Ruzhou didn't like him at all, valued his talent, and simply wanted to make money by writing lyrics.
’s biggest purpose was the gold and stone that he and Zhao Mingcheng had collected before. ’s consideration for him was only for others to see, which the proud Li Qingzhao simply could not accept.
In this way, Li Qingzhao came up with the idea of separating from Zhang Ruzhou, but in ancient times, only the husband wrote the divorce letter . In other words, only the husband had the right to propose separation. In particular, the Song Dynasty emphasized that women should abide by the "three obediences and four virtues" and advocated "a woman should not marry two husbands."
means that once a woman marries, she must stay with her husband forever. The "same life" here means that even if her husband dies, she cannot remarry or remarry another person..
Moreover, the Song Dynasty specially formulated laws for this purpose. The wife was not allowed to initiate separation, and only the husband had this right.
Moreover, Li Qingzhao’s second marriage to Zhang Ruzhou has aroused a lot of discussion. Now he wants to take the initiative to separate from Zhang Ruzhou, which is like a fantasy. However, Li Qingzhao is not an ordinary woman. Her thoughts are also very advanced. He was very assertive, and finally let Li Qingzhao do it.
It turns out that Li Qingzhao made a real-name report against her husband Zhang Ruzhou and sent him to jail. used this to fulfill his desire for divorce. At this point, we have to sigh that Li Qingzhao is really an incredible woman. In this era, she dared to make such a request. It's very difficult, and reporting her husband for divorce is even more unexpected.
but "state-owned laws, families have family rules." Although Li Qingzhao successfully reported the crime and Zhang Ruzhou was found guilty and imprisoned, Li Qingzhao, as the reporter, also violated the criminal law because of this behavior.
If a woman takes the initiative to initiate a divorce, she has already violated the regulations. In addition, reporting her husband is one of the following crimes in the Song Dynasty and will also lead to imprisonment.
In this way, Li Qingzhao sent his second husband Zhang Ruzhou to the prison cell, also sent himself to the prison cell, , but the divorce was successful because of this.
I have to say that if Li Qingzhao had lived in modern times, she would have been a role model for women in the new era. Although her thoughts were not tolerated by the secular world in the Song Dynasty, it also proved that her thoughts were very advanced.
In this way, Li Qingzhao was imprisoned for seven days, and was finally rescued by his friends. After he was released, Li Qingzhao once again lived a lonely life in his later years.
However, because of his previous experience, Li Qingzhao became more and more depressed. In this way, Li Qingzhao died in his lonely and painful later life, ending his arduous and short life.
Summary
Li Qingzhao is really a strange woman. Her life is full of legends, including her glorious girlhood, sweet young womanhood and painful old age.
But her character is also worth learning from every girl. Whether it is love or marriage, she must dare to love and hate, and be full of enthusiasm. loves with ecstasy and hates with determination. is also very decisive in leaving. is A pure woman who transcends the world.
And relying on her talent, she also created many lyrics that are praised by future generations. She is a shining pearl in the history of ancient literature and has contributed a lot of content worthy of reference to our country's literature.
When our future generations read and study Li Qingzhao's lyrics, we should also consider Li Qingzhao's mood at the time and appreciate it carefully.
