Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in ancient China, used to be a nun. In the desperate situation, she did not give up on herself. In the end, she used a poem and a pomegranate dress to complete her life counterattack.
Speaking of Tang poetry, many people will have many names in their minds! Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Wang Wei, Du Mu, Li Shangyin. These people are all famous poets, and classic poems are also on-board. But most of these poems are just expressing feelings and talking about masturbation. So it can only be called a poet, and even if a politician can write poetry, he is not called a poet. For them, poetry can be a weapon.
Yuan Tiangang’s prophecy
One day in 626 AD, the master of Xiangshu Yuan Tiangang came to Wu Zetian’s home, and everyone knew that Yuan Tiangang’s relatives were quasi. The Wu family naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, so Wu Zetian's mother, Yang, summoned all her sons and let Yuan Tiangang look at each other one by one. That year, Wu Zetian was just a baby in swaddling clothes. When she was carried out by a nurse, she wore boy clothes.
Yuan Tiangang was shocked after seeing it and said two words. The first sentence: Long eyebrows and phoenix eyes are too expensive. The second sentence: If you are a woman, you should have the appearance of the emperor. Z3z
mediocre twelve years
In 637 AD, Wu Zetian was entrusted to the palace. He was thirteen years old and was named a fifth-tier talented person. Li Shimin gave him the name "Wu Mei" and later named Wu Meiniang.
daughter entered the palace so young and became the emperor's concubine. Mother Yang couldn't help crying a lot, but Wu Zetian said: The emperor who serves the sacred Ming, how good is it? It seems that Wu Zetian is very ambitious. After
entered the palace, Wu Zetian was unwilling to be just a little talented person and tried his best to express himself. Once, Tang Taizong got a group of fierce horses, which was extremely difficult to tame. Wu Zetian was waiting by his side at that time, and Tang Taizong asked her how to deal with it. Wu Zetian said that she could tame the horse, but she needed three things: a whip, an iron rod and a dagger. Start whipping it with a whip. If the horse refuses to accept it, hit it on the head with an iron rod. If it refuses, then use a dagger to cut its neck. Since then, Taizong has alienated her.
In 649 AD, Tang Taizong became seriously ill. At this time, Wu Zetian was 25 years old and had been in the palace for 12 years before he knew it, but he was still just a talented person. As a woman, her talents and ambitions could not be displayed, and her youth was about to be ruined in this deep palace.
During the period when Li Shimin was seriously ill, Wu Zetian and Li Zhi hooked up. After the death of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, according to practice, Wu Zetian had to enter the Ganye Temple with Li Shimin's other concubines without children. At this time, Li Zhi became the emperor with great beauty.
A stepmother who is a nun and a son who is an emperor seems to have no intersection. The counterattack of a poem
Tang Gaozong Li Zhi is usually fine to recite poems, and is essentially a literary youth. The rivalry between the queen of the harem and Concubine Xiao Shu moved him upset. At this time, Wu Zetian, who was far away in the Ganye Temple, wrote a poem for Li Zhi.
Ruyi Niang
Tang: Wu Zetian
sees Zhu Chengbi thinking one after another, haggard and divorced as Yijun.
did not believe that she shed tears recently, unpacking the pomegranate dress.
Translation:
recently missed you very much, thinking of a trance look, confusion of thoughts, and mistakenly regarded red as green; the body is also getting haggard day by day, not because of anything else, just because I miss you too much.
I miss you but can't see you, I can only wash my face with tears all day long. I sent you a dress. The pomegranate dress we wore when we first met. If you don’t believe me, you can open the box and look at the tears on the dress.
This poem is very well written! The first two sentences of
poems tell the pain of lovesickness.
"Look at Zhu Chengbi" is quoted from the last two sentences of Wang Sengru of the Southern and Northern Dynasties' "Ye Sorrow Shows Zhu Bin Poems". Through the comparison of the two colors, it metaphors the desolation of being alone and being alone.
"Thinking" is the first of Wu Zetian. In the past, there were only "snows" (Tang Gaoshi's "Farewell to Dong Da": the north wind blows wild geese and snow) and "rains" (Tang Dumu's "Ching Ming": rains during the Qingming season.)
Wu Zetian concretized his longing for this invisible and intangible thing, which can better reflect his endless yearning for Li Zhi.
"Haggard and divorced as reminiscence of the king", expressing his bluntness, the image of a woman who is thinner than the "yellow flower" is vividly on the paper, and the picture isFull. The last two sentences of
's poem, wrote Wu Zetian's true temperament. You may not believe these words, but the pomegranate skirt can testify.
"Pomegranate Dress" comes from "Wuqi Song" by Emperor Liang Yuan, Xiao Yi: "Furong is a dress with pomegranate". In the poem of Emperor Liang Yuan, "Pomegranate Dress" is extraordinary, it represents love and marriage. The "pomegranate skirt" sent to Li Zhi may be a testimony of the love between the two. Wu Zetian wanted to use the pomegranate skirt to recall Li Zhi's original memory.
In Li Bai’s "Long Lovesickness": "If you don’t believe that your concubine has broken your heart, come back and take a look before the mirror" is very similar to the last two sentences. It is said that after seeing Li Bai’s poem, Li Bai’s wife told Li Bai, haven’t you heard of Empress Wu’s poem ? After Li Bai heard this, "really lost." Maybe Li Bai's wife questioned Li Bai's plagiarism of Wu Zetian's two sentences, and Li Bai felt very shameless.
When I believed you were in love, I did that kind of thing with you. Have you forgotten what happened under the pomegranate skirt? What about your promise to me? Don’t admit it?
Okay, a beautiful poem, and finally it's a mess.
This poem is just right!
If Wu Zetian wrote this every day as soon as he entered the Ganye Temple, no one would think it was false. She wrote this poem about a year after entering the Ganye Temple. Just imagine that a woman with both talents and appearance will tell you lovesickness. How many people can't afford to feel compassion due to the suffering, let alone the old lover Li Zhi?
Li Zhi has to work on state affairs during the day, and at night he has to face the fight between two women. He is bored. No one in this palace can understand. Wu Zetian's poems were sent at just the right time. After reading it, Li Zhi remembered the joys of the past with Wu Zetian, and was very ashamed. The poem
once again binds the hearts of two lonely people together.
Later, Gaozong took Wu Zetian back to the palace and petted her alone. After the death of Li Zhi, Wu Zetian became the only female emperor in Chinese history by virtue of her talent and political ability.
If Wu Zetian hadn't written this poem back then, he might have died alone in the Ganye Temple.
Presumably, when Wu Zetian was in his old age, thinking back to his life, he would definitely feel that it was not Yuan Tiangang’s prophecy that saved him, but his original poem. It was his unyielding to fate and his positive attitude towards the future. Attitude towards life.
Beethoven said: I want to hold the throat of fate, it must not make me succumb. The sentence
is given to myself and to everyone who has read this article.
hope you will get rid of the shackles of fate as soon as possible, and strangle the throat of fate. Desperate comeback, counterattack life.
