Tang Dynasty Boling native Cui Hu , very beautiful in appearance, aloof and aloof in character, rarely interacting with others. In the twelfth year of Tang Zhenyuan ( Tang Dezong Li Shi reigned) Jinshi and .
On the Qingming Festival one year, he went to the southern suburbs of the capital alone and saw a family. The yard covers an area of about one acre. The flowers, plants and trees in the yard grow densely and lushly, but it is quiet, as if no one is there.
Cui Hu borrowed water
After knocking on the door for a long time, he saw a girl, looked at him through the crack in the door and asked: "Who are you?" Cui Hu told her his name and begged: " I went out alone to enjoy the spring outing, and I felt very thirsty, so I wanted to ask you for a glass of water." The girl turned back into the house, brought a glass of water out, opened the door, let him enter the courtyard, and moved a chair for him. sit. But he stood alone leaning on the horizontal branch of a small peach tree, looking very affectionate. (Backed by the green leaves and red flowers, the girl) is enchanting and extremely beautiful. Cui Hu wanted to strike up a conversation with her, but she didn't answer. Instead, she kept looking at him affectionately. When Cui Hu said goodbye and left, the girl walked to the door silently, as if she couldn't bear the feeling of separation, and returned to the hospital sadly.
Hand-written peach blossom poems
Cui Hu also returned to the capital with a reluctant heart and has never been there since. During the Qingming Festival of the next year, Cui Hu suddenly remembered the girl. He could no longer suppress his longing for her, so he hurriedly went to look for her. When I got there, I saw that the courtyard gate and walls were still the same, but the courtyard door was locked with a lock. So I wrote a poem on the left door of the courtyard gate: "On this day last year, in this door, the human face and the peach blossoms reflected each other's red color. I don't know where the human faces have gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze."
Peach Blossom Girl
A few days later, By chance, Cui Hu went to the southern suburbs of the capital again and stopped by to visit the girl. Hearing crying in the house, he knocked on the door and asked. An old man opened the door and came out and asked, "Are you Cui Hu?" Cui Hu replied, "I am Cui Hu." The old man cried loudly again: "You were the one who killed me. My daughter." Cui Hu stood up in shock, not knowing how to answer.
Peach Blossom Girl
The old man said: "My daughter has just grown up. She also reads some poems and books on weekdays. She has not yet been engaged to get married. Since last year, she has often been in a trance and lost her mind. When I came back from a trip during the Qingming Festival this year, I cried bitterly when I saw the poem on the door. I couldn't help but fell ill and had been on hunger strike for several days. Now I am lying in bed, dying. The reason why my daughter has not found her husband's family for so long is because she wants to find a reliable person. She was given to me to take care of her until she died. If she died prematurely because of you, wouldn't it be you who killed her?" After that, she burst into tears.
Cui Hu also felt sad and asked to come into the house to see the girl. Cui Hu was moved to tears by the woman's deep emotion. He hugged the woman's head and said, "I'm here!" After shouting for a while, the girl opened her eyes. When the woman opened her eyes, she saw in front of her The person she missed day and night was half cured immediately and recovered within a few days. The old man married his daughter to Cui Hu.
