The autumn moon in the Han Palace is probably related to the autumn in the Han Palace. Autumn in the Palace of Han Dynasty is a drama at the end of Yuan Dynasty, written by Ma Zhiyuan. Autumn Colors in Han Palace tells the story of Wang Zhaojun and his relatives. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, most of the founding fathers were born in cloth, while concubines and maids were born in humble backgrounds. Based on this tradition, there is no insurmountable gap between palace ladies and concubines in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, every maid-in-waiting has a dream that one day she will get the chance to be loved by the emperor. However, Wang Zhaojun lived in the palace for several years, but he never even saw the shadow of the emperor.
Ge Hong's Miscellanies of Jingxi introduced a story that was widely circulated in later generations. Mao Yanshou, a court painter, failed to ask Wang Zhaojun for a bribe, so he ordered a mole on Wang Zhaojun's portrait to make Wang Zhaojun's appearance look more ordinary. Because there were too many ladies-in-waiting, Emperor Han Yuan only chose ladies-in-waiting based on the portraits presented by painters. In this way, Wang Zhaojun, who has amazing beauty, was drowned in many maids. This is unofficial history, not to be trusted. According to the biography of the Southern Xiongnu in the Later Han Dynasty, "Zhaojun is from Nanjun. At the beginning, in Yuan Di, he was elected to the court because of his good family. At that time, Xie Han was called to Korea, and the emperor gave it to five maids. How old was Zhao Jun when he entered the palace? He was not allowed to see the royal family, and he accumulated sadness and resentment. He asked the court to order him to do it. Called to leave the meeting, the emperor called five women to show that Zhaojun was rich, Ming Han Palace, Gu Gui, moved around. When the emperor saw the earthquake, he wanted to keep it, but it was difficult to break his promise, so he went with the Huns. "
As can be seen from the above text, the reason why Wang Zhaojun took the initiative to marry the Xiongnu was because "Zhao Jun was only a few years old when he entered the palace, and he was not allowed to see the royal family, and he was deeply resentful." It is better to go to a foreign country than to live a lonely life in the palace and let youth grow old year after year. So after hearing that there was a chance to kiss, Wang Zhaojun volunteered decisively. However, although life in the palace is lonely, it is also very calm. Huns live in the grassland desert, and no one knows what will happen in the future. Li Bai has a poem saying: "The Han family is in the Qin month, with a shadow; Once on the jade pass, the end of the world is gone forever. " Du Fu obviously sympathized with Wang Zhaojun. He wrote "Song of Tatar" on her jade guitar, telling her eternal sorrow. This poem. As a politician, Wang Anshi looks at this problem from another angle. He thought it was not a bad thing for Zhaojun to go to the fort, and wrote a poem saying, "Hann doesn't know himself, and life is fortunate to know each other." It is unknown whether Wang Zhaojun was full of grief and indignation when he left the fortress. In any case, this is not an easy life choice for her. Although this is a political marriage, Wang Zhaojun's idea may not be complicated, and he does not have the purpose of "solidarity and friendship between Han and Hungary for generations". This statement is obviously a forced interpretation of history by ideology. Later, Zhao Jun gave birth to two sons in Xiongnu. After Uhaanyehe's death, his son succeeded to the throne and wanted to marry Zhaojun. After the death of his father, his son can marry his stepmother, and after the death of his brother, his brother can marry his sister-in-law. This is a vulgar thing, and it is a matter of course in Xiongnu. However, Zhaojun found it hard to accept, so he wrote to Emperor Han Chengdi to seek a return, and he made a decree that he could not respect Sinology and follow the customs. Zhaojun later had to obey. In the Tang Dynasty, Jason Wu said in the Interpretation of Yuefu Ancient Poems that Zhaojun didn't want to remarry with Uhaanyehe's son, so "Zhaojun swallowed medicine and died". Is it because of these rumors that "Zhao Jun complained" in history? Zhaojun's ending was quite satisfactory. Hanwu the Great, which was being broadcasted a while ago, was burned to death by the Xiongnu and their relatives in the Han Dynasty. Although it is a fictional plot, it also reflects the tragic fate of the maid to some extent.
The resentment of the servant girl is a traditional topic. There are many themes describing the grievances of maids in Han Yuefu, such as "Yu Ban resentment", "Zhao Jun resentment" and "Zhao Jun sorrow". Later, it even formed a poetic style dedicated to describing the harem, called Gongci. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Hu wrote a five-character quatrain "Gong Ci": "Thousands of miles away, a maid-in-waiting lived here for twenty years. He Manzi, see how she tries to hold back her tears. " It is a masterpiece describing ladies-in-waiting, writing about the deep resentment of ladies-in-waiting. Wang Jian, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and Hua Rui, the wife of Shu after the Five Dynasties, all wrote hundreds of palace poems. Maids-in-waiting live in the deep palace and are not free. After a long time, it will naturally produce resentment. On the other hand, Zou Yang, a poet in the Western Han Dynasty, once lamented in "Letter to Liang Wang in Prison": "Women are neither beautiful nor evil, and they are jealous when they enter the palace." Three thousand concubines and ladies-in-waiting, all they can think about is competing with the emperor, how can they not be jealous? However, the bitterness of the autumn moon in Han Palace is not always fragile in my heart. Gong E in Han Dynasty was strong and could accompany the emperor to ride horses and hunt, and her activities in the palace were less restricted than those of later ladies. Therefore, their complaints are not dull and delicate.
There were also maids in the Han Dynasty who didn't complain. There is an interesting folklore that there was a maid-in-waiting named Yuanxiao in the Han Dynasty, and jiaozi did a good job. She misses her parents and sisters at home very much every day. Her sincerity touched the emperor. After that, on the fifteenth day of the first month of each year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty approved every household to make glutinous rice balls and light lanterns, so that the queen's ladies-in-waiting could leave the palace to have fun with the people. On that day, Yuanxiao wrote the word "Yuanxiao" on the lantern, and took jiaozi, who was wrapped by himself, out of the palace to reunite with his family.
Let's put aside the bitterness of distant years, listen to the autumn moon in the Han Palace and enjoy fifteen Yuan Xiao. Isn't it soon?
