Chen Yuanyuan was originally a geisha in Kunshan and once lived in Qinhuai. Because of its outstanding color and art, it is associated with major historical events, so the Qing people listed her as one of the "Eight Wonders of Qinhuai" and called her "the daughter of the former Jinling master's family".
Chen Yuanyuan's original surname was Xing, Yuan, Yuan and Fang, and she was adopted by her adoptive mother Chen, so she changed her surname to Chen. She is beautiful in color, good at singing and dancing, and good in color and art.
In the last years of Chongzhen, the peasant rebels in Li Zicheng were a great threat to the imperial court, and Emperor Chongzhen was restless day and night. Zhou Kui, the consort of Jiading Bo, wanted to find a stunning beauty for the emperor to relieve his anxiety, so she left Tian Wan, Tian Fei's brother, to seek beauty in Jiangnan. After Tian Wan found Chen Yuanyuan, he was fascinated by his beauty and took it for himself.
Soon Li Zicheng's team approached the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen called Shanhaiguan in Wu Sangui Town. Tian Tian worried about peasant uprisings all day, so he set up.
The banquet was for Wu Sangui, and Yuan Yuan led the chorus into the hall to perform. Wu Sangui was ecstatic after seeing Yuanyuan, and hugged Yuanyuan as the hostess. After drinking too much, three patrolmen reported that it was protruding. Go up to Wu in fear and say, "What will happen if you come?" Wu Sangui said: "You can see the gift with a round face, and I will protect your family first." Before Tian Tian could answer, Wu Sangui accepted Yuan Yuan's farewell speech.
Wu Sangui persuaded his father, who was in charge of the imperial camp, to leave Yuan Yuan in the capital, in order to prevent his colleagues from causing trouble and let the emperor know.
After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Wu Sangui's father surrendered to the insurgents, and Chen Yuanyuan was captured by Li's men. When Wu Sangui promised to surrender to Li Zicheng, Wen Yuanyuan was occupied by Li Zhi's Ministry and shouted angrily, "What can a gentleman do if he doesn't protect himself?" So he surrendered and the Qing army went to war with the peasant army. This is what Wu Meicun said in "Qinyuan Qu": "The six armies are all lost, and they are angry and become a beauty."
After Li Zicheng was defeated, he killed Wu's father and 38 people in his family, and then left Beijing. To avenge his father's death, Wu Sangui pursued the peasant army to Shanxi day and night. At this time, the Ministry of Wu will search for Chen Yuanyuan in the capital, fly it, lead Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan from Qin to Shu, and then monopolize Yunnan.
During the Shunzhi period, Wu was promoted to the king of Yunnan and wanted to be a princess. Yuan Yuan excused herself and dismissed her, so Wu Sangui didn't marry her. I didn't want to be jealous of the princess I married, so I framed and killed Wu's love, and Yuan Yuan lived alone in another hospital. After falling out of favor, she gradually moved away from Wu. Wu had plotted to kill her. When Yuan Yuan learned this, he begged to have a haircut and embroider Buddha at Guo Hua Temple in Wuhua Mountain.
Later, Wu Sangui declared independence in Yunnan, and Emperor Kangxi sent troops to Yunnan. 168 1 winter, Kunming city broke. After Wu Sangui's death, Chen Yuanyuan also sank into the lotus pond outside the temple and was buried beside the pond after his death. Until the end of Qing Dynasty, there were two small films of Chen Yuanyuan and stone poems left by Chi Pan in the temple.
Second, the chivalrous Li
Li, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai River, carries a silk fan with her. The fan is white plain silk with a colorful peach blossom picture painted on it, so it is called "Peach Blossom Fan". This fan was not painted by a famous artist, but why did Li regard it as a treasure? It turns out that the peach blossom on this fan is not painted with dye, but written with Li's blood, which embodies her touching love story with her lover and is all her hopes in this life.
Li is the red girl in the building beside Qinhuai River. This Xiangmei building is beautifully built and located by the water. Standing on the railing upstairs, you can see the Qinhuai River with clear smoke and water and colorful paintings. The owner of Xiangmei Building is Aunt Li. When she was young, she was also a matchmaker by the Qinhuai River. When she was old, she used her savings to build the Xiangmei Mansion, adopted several adopted daughters and entertained guests with poems and wine. She is quite famous in Nanjing. Li is the most face-saving person. The girl grew up beside Aunt Li. She wrote poems, played the piano and painted songs and dances. She was trained by Aunt Li to be proficient in everything, and she also learned from Aunt Li's generous chivalry in temperament. It is really lovely. Li's appearance has her own characteristics. She is petite, with fine features and slightly upturned lips, which is somewhat playful. She looks like a lovely person. Because she is petite and fragrant, with a fragrant word in her name, all the guests call her "Xiangfan Pendant", which really suits her charm.
Lou is one of the more advanced prostitutes in Qinhuai River. The girls in this prostitute building are mostly street performers who smile and don't sell themselves. Li is such a typical example. Because Aunt Li is generous and elegant, the guests in Meixiang Building are mostly literati and loyal ministers. Influenced by dopted mother Li, he was quite good at distinguishing good from bad and loyal subjects and traitors since he was a child. Li was only sixteen when he first met and fell in love at first sight.
Hou Fangyu was born in Shangqiu, Henan. His grandfather, Hou Zhipu, was Tai Changqing of the Ming Dynasty, and his father, Hou Yao, was a senior minister of the household department, both of whom were honest and loyal ministers. I studied poetry with Ni, a famous scholar in my hometown since childhood. Min Hui is versatile and has made rapid progress.
One is a charming young man, and the other is a brothel girl who is tender and affectionate. After several contacts, they both fell in love and were inseparable.
Third, Liu Jun Shi Ru has a strong character.
Liu was a famous geisha talented woman during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. She is strong, upright, intelligent and courageous, and her reputation is no less than that of Li and Bian Yujing.
Liu's name is, the word is like this, and the fine print is very awkward. His real name is Liu Ai. Because he read a sentence by Xin Qiji: "I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this", so he gave himself such a name; Later, it was called "Hedong Jun" and "Hong". She is a native of Jiaxing, born in the fifty years of Wanli in Ming Dynasty. When she was young, she was smart and eager to learn. However, due to her poor family, she was abducted and sold to Wujiang as a maid since she was a child. When she was young, she fell into Zhangtai, changed her name to Liu Yin, and shuttled between Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jinling in troubled times. Because of her beauty and talent, she became a famous girl in Qinhuai. She left many anecdotes and literary manuscripts, such as Grass in the Middle of the Lake, No Seal and Letters.
Liu befriended Zhang Bin, the leader of Nanming Society, and was congenial to Chen, but Chen was unfortunately defeated and died in the anti-Qing uprising. Liu's choice of spouse is very demanding. Many celebrities have failed to marry her, and some are still in the friendship stage. Finally, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, in her twenties, she married Qian, a famous bureaucratic leader who was over half a year old. After Qian married Liu, he built the magnificent "Crimson Cloud Building" and "Red Bean Pavilion" in Yushan, and the golden house was hidden with charming flowers. Liu had a daughter after his death. Some Dream of Red Mansions think that the crimson designed by Cao Xueqin comes from Liu's crimson cloud building.
Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, the Qing army went to Beijing to build a small court in Nanjing, and Liu Zaiming supported him as the minister of rites. Soon, the Qing army went south, and Enemy at the Gates and Liu advised Qian to throw himself into the water. Money was speechless, and finally went down to the pool to try the water and said, "It's too cold to go down." . Liu "desperately sank into the pool", but gave the money a hard hug. So money is ashamed to see it. Qian Jiangqing went to Beijing, but Liu stayed in Nanjing. Qian was an assistant minister of etiquette in the Qing Dynasty and a bachelor of Hanlin. Influenced by the Liu family, he resigned after half a year. Later, because of the case, I ate two lawsuits. Liu bribed him to get out of prison when he was ill, and encouraged him to contact Qu Shizhen, who was still resisting. Liu's support and comfort to the Qing government showed her strong patriotic national integrity. Qian's relegation should have been criticized by later generations, but it was Liu's righteous act that diluted people's dislike for him.
Yu Dafu recorded Liu's poem "I smell the spring room" in "Entertainment in Summer". As far as literary talent is concerned, she can be called "eight beauties in Qinhuai". After reading her poems, Chen Yinque, a famous scholar, felt "stunned" and praised Liu's "clear words and beautiful sentences". Qing people thought that her letters were "more beautiful than the Six Dynasties, and she loved Ban Cai deeply". Liu Ye is proficient in temperament, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and his paintings are also very famous. Her painting skills are simple and beautiful. Calligraphy has won the admiration of future generations, calling it "iron fist with silver hook, which once collected wonderful traces."
After Qian died in 1666, villagers gathered and robbed his property. In order to protect the property of money, the Liu family committed suicide with silks. Although the villain was scared away, a generation of talented women ended their lives like this. Liu was buried in Fushui Mountain Villa in Yushan after his death. Her daughter 17 years old, married the son of Wuxi Yusen Zhao.
I chose her because although she has a little chivalry in her brow, she does not lose the gentleness of women.
Fourth, Gu Meisheng's chivalrous heart.
Gu Meisheng, that is, Mei Ku, Nanjing Shangyuan people. According to Banqiao Miscellanies, "Gu Meisheng's eyebrows, also called eyebrows, are good at holding the night monarch. Zhuang Yan is beautiful and elegant, and her manners are superior; The sideburns are like clouds, the peach blossoms are full of beard, the bow becomes slender, and the waist becomes light. Know everything about literature and history, be good at painting orchids, follow the horse and keep the truth, and if you win, people will be the first in Nanqu. " It can be seen that she not only has the elegant demeanor of a lady, but also has literary talent and skill.
Huai Yu, a famous scholar, has a close friendship with Gu Mei. After Gu and Liu Fang made a husband-and-wife agreement, they soon broke their word and married Gong Dingshan, one of the "Three Masters of Jiangzuo" who had already fallen to the Qing Dynasty, and Liu died for it. The palace liked him very much and called him "Shante". Later, he married Gu and was honored as a product. Gong is a senior official of the etiquette department of the Qing court, and celebrities in Beijing are respected as masters. Whenever a guest asks for Gong's poems and calligraphy, he ghostwrites. Gu's fame is growing. Gu Zengzeng used Gong's political position several times to resist the generosity of Qing people.
1657, Gong Sui revisited Jinling and stayed at the Hidden Garden in Dayoufang Lane, Qinhuai River. One day, she told Gong, who was writing a poem, that she met Yan, who was dressed as a monk, at Wendeqiao. Gong was taken aback. It turned out that the whole thing was a Peixian juren. When the Qing soldiers went south, he advised Shi Kefa to lead an army north to stop Shandong. In recent years, he preached anti-Qing and regaining sight everywhere and pursued the Qing court. Just talking, he fled into the hidden garden of Yan City, Zhongcun Hall. At this time, he was surrounded by the Qing army. Under the protection of the black genius, Yan finally escaped. So the great genius Yuan Mei praised him and said, "Courtesy is virtue, love is virtue, and chivalry is dignity." .
1664 In late autumn, Mei Ku died in Tiecross Hutong, Beijing, and all cars were lost. Yan, Liu Jingting and Yu Bei, who are far away from Jiangnan, also held a memorial service for her in Luzhou, Anhui. Gong also built a Miaoguang Pavilion in Beijing Changbang Temple, and wrote the Legend of White Gate Willow for it, which was spread all over the world.
Because "the temples are like clouds, the peach blossoms are full of beard, the bow becomes slender, and the waist is light and elegant", choose her.
5. Bianyujing, Embroidering Buddha in Changzhai.
Bianyujing Famous Tournament, also known as Saisai, was named Yujing because it came from "the Taoist of Yujing".
She was born in an official family in Qinhuai, and her two sisters were reduced to geisha because of her father's early death. The frontier fortress is omnipotent in poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting, especially in small letters. She also knows literature and history. She is skilled in painting and writes like a cloud. "She writes more than ten papers at a time" and likes to draw graceful branches, especially orchids.
18 years old, traveling in Wumen, living in Tiger Hill, and traveling between Qinhuai and Suzhou. She was a famous singer in Qinhuai area in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Frontier fortress generally can't see well-treated guests, but when they meet beautiful friends, they talk like clouds and are fascinating. Bian Sai had a marriage with Wu Meicun, a famous poet in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.
In the spring of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Wu Meicun sent his brother Wu Zhiyan to Chengdu to be the magistrate in the Shengchu Building outside Shuiximen. Here, he met frontier sisters who came to see Wu Zhiyan off. Seeing the noble and refined temperament of frontier fortress, I can't help but think of two poems widely circulated in the south of the Yangtze River: "Wine seeks frontier fortress, and the bottom of flowers is Chen Yuan". During the dinner, Wu tried out the literary talent of frontier fortress, which made Wu unable to resist dumping. After that, the two contacted frequently and their feelings became deeper and deeper.
Later, Wu received a letter from Bian in Changganli apartment. When he knew that Bian was going to marry him, his heart was very contradictory. When Wu heard the news, Tian Wan, the favorite concubine of Emperor Chongzhen and his younger brother, recently came to Jinling to choose a concubine and took a fancy to Chen Yuanyuan and Bian Sai. Wu chickened out in front of the powerful prince's uncle, only played a few songs in the frontier fortress's apartment and left sadly.
Two years later, frontier fortress married a warlord. Because she was not satisfied, she gave the maid a gentle gift and begged for it. She became a monk in Suzhou and attached herself to 70-year-old famous doctors Zheng Baoyu and Zheng Zhubie. The frontier fortress embroidered Buddha for a long time and held martial law in class. In order to repay Zheng's kindness, he spent three years tattooing Zheng.
At this time, Wu Meicun became an official and depressed. One day in the seventh year of Shunzhi, frontier fortress saw Wu's four poems "Looking Back on the Qinhe River" at home, only to know that Wu missed her. A few months later, the two finally met in Taicang. Bian Sai played the piano for Wu, and Wu didn't remember. As a gift, he wrote "Listening to a female Taoist while playing the piano in Yujing". The poem tells the story of the frontier during these ten years, and points out the bleak situation of the Qing army in Jiangnan and Yujing. After the frontier fortress, he lived in seclusion in Huishan, Wuxi, and died more than ten years later. Buried in Jin Lin, Tuoan, Huishan.
Six, just draw a brilliant Ma Xianglan.
Ma Xianglan (1548— 1604) is a poetess and painter in the Ming Dynasty. According to Qin Huai Guang Ji, her name is true, the word is Lan Xiang, the fine print is Xuan Er, and the word is Moonracer. Because she ranks fourth in the family, she is called "Si Niang". She is witty and good at poetry and painting, especially Zhu Lan, so she is called "Lan Xiang". Although her appearance is not outstanding, she "looks like an ordinary person", but she "looks open and clean, like a leaf warbler in spring, eager to express her words and serve people skillfully."
Ma's painting attainments are high. At that time, Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin wrote 72 poems for Painting Orchids in Ma Xianglan three times, which were included in Cao Yin's Dongting Collection. In the Historical Biography of Painting in Past Dynasties, her painting skills were evaluated as "green imitating purple gu, bamboo imitating Zhongji, all of which can attack its rhyme". Among the exquisite paintings and calligraphy in the Forbidden City in Beijing, there is Ma Shi's Zalan Atlas, which is unique. Her paintings have always been regarded as treasures abroad. Ma Shi is also very talented in literature. He has written two volumes of poems of Lan Xiang Collection and a script of Sansheng Biography. Ma Shi is versatile, has a good grasp of melody, can sing and dance, and can also write and direct plays. In the teaching workshop, the troupe she teaches can perform The Complete Works of The West Chamber, and those who learn skills with it can get a true biography.
Ma Shi grew up in Nanjing, but unfortunately he fell into the dust since he was a child. But she is broad-minded, despises chivalry and often spends money to help teenagers. She lives in Qinhuai scenic spot, which attracts many tourists and has a close friendship with the gifted scholar king in the south of the Yangtze River. Her letter to Wang was included in Letters of Celebrities of Past Dynasties. On Wang's 70th birthday, Ma Jizi bought a boat to carry dozens of geisha, and went to Suzhou to buy wine for his birthday. He "feasted for months, singing and dancing", and cure a disease couldn't afford it when he came back. Finally, he passed away at the age of 57. After his death, Ma was buried in his mansion, near Bifeng Temple in Bailuzhou Park.
, romantic woman Koubaimen
Kou Baimen, whose real name is Mei, was one of the "Eight Colors of Qinhuai" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.
Banqiao Miscellanies said: "The white door is beautiful; Ups and downs, can tune, good at painting orchids, know each other rhymes, can recite poems, but slippery and eager to learn "It is precisely because the white door is simple and not smooth that it determines her marriage tragedy.
In the late spring of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Guobi, a famous hero, came to Kou's house in Chaoku Street with the help of his entourage. After several contacts, Bai Menying was very impressed with him, polite and gentle, so she agreed when Zhu proposed. It was an autumn night, and 17-year-old Koubaimen boarded the sedan chair in heavy makeup. It was the custom at that time that musicians in Jinling in the Ming Dynasty got married at night. Zhu Guobi sent 5,000 soldiers with red lights from Wuding Bridge to Zhu Fu, the inner bridge, in order to show the charm and grandeur, which was unprecedented and became the biggest wedding scene in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Zhu Guobi is a smooth and cunning bureaucrat. It was a temporary need for him to marry Koubaimen. After a few months, his meager feelings gradually exposed, so he left Kou aside and still wandered between Zhangtaiyan Liuxiang.
1645, the Qing army went south. Zhu Guobi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and soon entered the capital, and was * * * by the Qing court. Zhu wants to sell her maid together with Koubaimen. Baimen said to Zhu Yun, "If the proceeds from selling my concubine are only a few hundred dollars ... if I return my concubine to the south, I will get 10 thousand yuan in January to report it to the public." Zhu thought for a moment and agreed. Koubaimen took the servant girl Douer back to Jinling. With the help of the sisters in the old courtyard, Kou raised 20,000 silver to redeem Zhu Guobi.
At this point, Zhu wanted to fulfill his dream, but was rejected by Kou. She said, "You redeemed me with silver, and now I will redeem you with silver."
No.1 Jinling, Kou's family, is called Nvxia. She "built a garden pavilion, was a guest, returned to the literati every day, and was drunk and hot, or sang or cried, and lamented that the beauty was late and the red beans fell." Later, he returned to Jinling from a dutiful son in Yangzhou, but he was not satisfied. Finally, he lived in a happy family and died of illness. At that time, Qian, the leader of the literary world offering wine, wrote a poem "Koubaimen" in his eulogy, saying: "The Kou sisters have always been wild and have been fascinated by flowers for eighteen years. Today, Qinhuai is afraid of each other, so as not to touch red tears. Xia, read your grace. Who knows Columbine? The loess is immortal, and the fragrant pill is fragrant. "
Eight, glamorous Dong Xiaowan
Dong Xiaowan, whose real name is Bai, whose word is purple, or The History of Purple Girls, are all admired by Li Bai. Born in Suzhou, a businessman who made a living by embroidery, his father died of a sudden illness when he was thirteen. Two years later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, chaos approached Suzhou. Mother Bai planned to pack up her belongings and flee, only to find that there was no money to follow, and she was ill in bed. The burden of life fell on fifteen-year-old Dong Bai. This kind of feeling is like she has developed an arrogant character and refused to bow her head to borrow money from others. In desperation, she made a living as an entertainer in the painting boat on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, and changed her name to Xiaowan to make a living and help her mother with her medical expenses.
During his artistic career, he quickly became famous on Qinhuai River because of his detached and brilliant personality. However, it was rewarded by literati and ignored by secular villains. I left Nanjing in a rage and was forced by life to return to my old job in Bantang brothel, but I never sold myself to busk. After getting to know Sun Shan, who was born after having obtained the provincial examination, he was once called one of the "Four Childes". After they had known each other for some time, Dong Xiaowan appreciated his personality and conversation, so he got acquainted with himself. Because he has an official residence in Maobijiang, he just became a concubine. But Dong Xiaowan didn't feel sad because of the deviation of the position, instead, she waited on her elders more thoughtfully than the maid. While she is famous in the countryside because of her profound knowledge and mastery of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Xiaowan takes good care of her husband. It is also a good dish, and its name ranks among the "Top Ten Famous Chefs in Past Dynasties". Now Yangzhou's famous points are: stuffing fragrant winter candy and rolling crisp winter candy, all made by her.
However, after a few years of happiness, the war broke out again. Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, the Qing army went south, and wars broke out everywhere. After the family fled, their property was also lost as much as possible. After the war, the whole life has been difficult. As the saying goes, it never rains but it pours At this time, Mao Bijiang fell ill. Xiaowan always takes care of her seriously ill husband. After crossing the border, Xiaowan got osteopathy, as if he had a serious illness. It is in this poor and hungry living environment that Xiaowan's physique has been extremely scarce. As a result, in the first month of the eighth year of Shunzhi, Dong Xiaowan, who had been a good princess and wife for nine years, finally closed her tired eyes, and she walked so peacefully in the tears of risking her family.
