Historical Features of Biography of Lienv
Introduction: Zuo Zhuan is the first historical book in China with detailed narration. Although people are not the focus of narrative because of the style of chronology and the purpose of keeping records, many vivid characters have been created in the narrative process, including more than 100 female characters (about 30 can be described). Biography of Lienv is the first female-centered narrative history in China and the first female history in China. Because of the obvious color of women's education and the admiration of the ruling class in later generations, Biography of Lienv has become a women's education reading material to standardize women's values. Biography of Lienv involves more than 100 female characters, of which more than 20 are coincident with Zuozhuan. By comparison, we can find that the image of the same character in the two books is different. This paper selects the representative Mu Jiang to discuss, compares the image of Mu Jiang in Zuo Zhuan and Lienv Zhuan, and analyzes the author and his view of women in his time. 1. The women in the image of Mu Jiang in Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period (female princes and nobles) were named after their names, words, numbers and surnames. Names, characters and numbers are usually composed of eight materials: mother's country name, husband's country name, mother's surname, mother's surname, husband's surname, ranking, husband's death and self-death. Therefore, the name "Jiang" in Mujiang is the surname of matriarchal family, and the name "March" in Xuangongyuan can be proved by the fact that husband and wife are ginger until they are together. According to "Heart has May", Mrs. Qiu Jiang ... in autumn and August, she buried my Xiaojiang again in the ninth year of Xianggong, and "Mu" was posthumous title. According to Dong in the Spring and Autumn Period, posthumous title's textual research shows that Mu is a kind of beauty in pre-Qin posthumous title, and Mu Jiang's life experience also accords with Mu. Liu Xiang gave a completely different explanation to Mu Jiang posthumous title in Biography of Women, which will be discussed in the next section. This part first talks about the image of Mu Jiang in Zuo Zhuan. The record of Mu Jiang in Zuo Zhuan began in Xuande year and ended in Xianggong twenty-three years. We can see a comprehensive wooden river, which can be divided into ritual wooden river, abusive wooden river and reflective wooden river. 1. Nine Years for the Public by the ceremonial Mu Jiang: Xia, Ji Wenzi, Weaver Girl, giving orders and enjoying in public. In the fifth chapter of Hanshu, Mu Jiang went out to worship, saying, "Doctors are diligent in enduring humiliation, never forgetting their predecessors' heirs and giving to the living. You still have hope! Dare to worship the doctor's diligence. " And was given the pawn stamp of "green clothes". It's about Moon Hee's mourning for Ji Bo's return to the Song State, and Lu's successful banquet for Ji Wenzi. Mujiang came out of the room and bowed down twice to thank Ji Wenzi for his hard work. He praised Moon Hee for living up to Gong Xuan's expectations and called himself a widow. Mujiang finished the last chapter of green, and then went back to his room. The last chapter of "Green Clothes" is "",mourning for the wind. I think of the ancients, and I really got my heart. "Mu's poems express the meaning of mourning and publicizing the public, because it has already been mentioned that' I don't forget my predecessor' and' there is still hope for my predecessor'. At this time, mourning and publicity can be said to be reasonable. In addition, I noticed that Mujiang called himself a "widow", which also reflected Mujiang's courtesy. Widows remarriage is a common phenomenon in the Spring and Autumn Period. Calling themselves "widows" shows that they want to be faithful. Mu Jiang's ceremony can also be seen in the illustration of The Book of Songs, Green Clothes, Eleven Years for the Public. He said: Shengbo's mother didn't hire me, and Mujiang said: I don't care. It's about Shengbo's mother and uncle living together, and there is no matchmaking ceremony. Mujiang doesn't treat Shengbo's mother as family. 2. Mu Jiang's "Sixteen Years of Being a Duke" contains: Xuanbo crossed Mu Jiang and wanted to go to Ji and Meng to take his room. Will line, mu Jiang sent male, make the second son. It is difficult for people to sue for money, saying, please replace it. Jiang was angry, and his son held back. His son rushed over and pointed out that women can't, but they are all kings. It is said that Mujiang is having an affair with Xuanbo. In order to help Xuanbo, Mu Jiang forced Chenggong to expel Ji Wenzi and Meng Xianzi. After the decline of Chenggong, Mu Jiang threatened to abolish Chenggong. Xuanbo refers to Uncle Sun Shi's master, Uncle Sun Qiaoru. In addition to his uncle, Lu has two big families, Shi and Zi, who are the heads of households respectively. In other words, Mu Jiang ordered Chenggong to destroy Xuanbo's competitors in order to let his lover Xuanbo monopolize Lu. If Chenggong does not obey Mu Jiang, it will threaten Chenggong. However, it is worth noting that Mu Jiang only threatened to become a public official, and Zuo Zhuan did not record any actual actions taken by Mu Jiang. However, bribing Jin's right to destroy the relationship between Jin and Lu was entirely done by Xuanbo, and had nothing to do with Mu Jiang. In other words, Mujiang's fornication and two threats to become a public official, although this kind of behavior is impolite, actually did not cause serious adverse consequences. Another blasphemy done by Mujiang has caused adverse consequences. " "Twenty-three Years of" xianggong "contains: At the beginning, Zang Xuanshu married Zhu, gave birth to Jia, and died for it. Steproom and nephew, the aunt of Mujiang. Born, longer than the palace. Jiang loves it, so he represents it. Zangjia and Zangwei are casting roles. It is said that Mu Jiang violated the principle of the eldest son inheritance system and supported Zangge, who was born to his aunt, as the successor of Zang's family, which led to chaos in Zang's family, and Zang's family and Zangwei fled to their mother's uncle's country. 3. Reflection on Uncle Mu Jiang, Sun Qiaoru, was exiled in Chenggong for sixteen years. After he fled to Qi, he hooked up with Sheng Mengke, who was between Gao and Guo. Mu Jiang was imprisoned in the East Palace until his death. "Nine Years of" xianggong "recorded the event that Mu Jiang moved to the East Palace: he began to lament and met the" root ". Shi Yue: It refers to Gen Sui III .. "Sui" came out. You must be quick. Jiang said: die. The Book of Changes says: The chastity of Sui and Yuan Henry is beyond reproach ... being low and heartless is not Yuan. The country is not peaceful and cannot be said to be constant. It's harmful to your health. Abandoning one's position and being beautiful is not chastity. There are four virtues, "same" without blame. I didn't. What about Sui? I go astray, can I be blameless? I will die here, and I will get it. As Mu Jiang's divination moved to the East Palace, historians got an auspicious divination for him. Mu Jiang believes that those who have the four virtues of "Yuan Henry is true" will get the divination of Sui Dynasty, saying that there is no disaster, but they do not have these four virtues: they are low in status and heartless, so they cannot be said to be Yuan; It cannot be said that the country is unstable; Doing something that hurts yourself cannot be said to be beneficial; Abandoning widowhood and beautifying the heart of beauty cannot be said to be chastity. So Mujiang insisted that he would be imprisoned forever and eventually died in the East Palace. At this point, Mujiang has begun to reflect on himself. According to the records in Zuo Zhuan, we can also know that Mu Jiang has never been reborn again. At the same time, you can also see a smart and knowledgeable Mujiang. She is not only familiar with the Book of Songs, but also so familiar with the Book of Changes. She is a strange girl in Zuo Zhuan. 2. Biography of Women lists Mu Jiang as a villain. Why did Liu Xiang rewrite the image of Mujiang? Biography of Women is China's first special history of women. Through the transformation and praise of female characters in pre-Qin classics, a complete and theoretical female education system was formed. Biography of Lienv is divided into three parts: biography of mother instrument, biography of sage, biography of benevolence and wisdom, biography of chastity, biography of righteousness, biography of argument and biography of evil. The first six biographies are praise and praise for women, and the last biography is a criticism of women who committed disasters. Mu Jiang was regarded as a villain, and he was included in The Legend of Evil with Mo Xi, da ji, Bao Si, Xuan Jiang, Wen Jiang, Ai Jiang, Li Ji and The Last Month Of Summer. Lienv 1 pass. Mu Jiang in Biography of Women In Biography of Women, Liu Xiang called Mu Jiang "jiangmiao" because he was "smart and disorderly, so he called him Miao". Some commentators believe that Mu is the same as fallacy, which means that Mu Jiang has many fallacies in his life. But in fact, "mu" was a kind of beauty in the pre-Qin period, and only "what I saw was what I saw in my heart" could it be called "mu". So why does Liu Xiang have to call it jiangmiao? Because Liu Xiang wanted to highlight Mujiang's fault. "Biography of Xuan Lu and jiangmiao" says: jiangmiao is related to uncle Sun Xuanbo, whose name is Qiao Ru. Qiao Ru and Miao Jiang have gone to seek, and they are good at Lu. Jin and Chu fought in Yanling, and started to assist Jin. If you are willing to do it, Jiang will sue the public one by one, and you will be the king. If it is said in public, it will be difficult to advance. Please obey. And this goods Jin doctor, make his father xing stop, Xu killed, and took the minister. The events described are basically the same as those in Qi Huangong in the Sixteenth Year of Zuo Zhuan, but it should be noted that Zuo Zhuan is a chronicle of words and events, and Lienv is a personal biography history book, in which Lienv writes about Xuanbo's personal behavior, which is inevitably suspected of intentional confusion. As for Mu Jiang's reflection when he moved to the East Palace, Female Biography also held a negative attitude, thinking that Mu Jiang was "wise, but he could not hide his guilt. "Liu Xiang also quoted the poem" The anxiety of scholars can be said, but the anxiety of women can't be said "in the Book of Songs to explain Mu Jiang's behavior in trouble. In fact, Mujiang began to reflect on himself after Xuanbo was expelled from Lu, and there was no reincarnation from then on. How can he say, "I have nothing to say about women's anxiety?" "So it's not MuJiang, but Liu Xiang doesn't want to let MuJiang go. It is not difficult to see that Mu Jiang in Female Biography highlights the fact that Mu Jiang committed "* * *". Although he mentioned Mujiang's reflective behavior, he only showed that "his guilt can never be covered up". As for Mu Jiang, who is polite and poetic, Liu Xiang chose to ignore him and didn't mention it at all. 2. Through the previous analysis, we found that Mu Jiang in Zuo Zhuan experienced three processes: observing ceremony, violating ceremony and reflecting, while Mu Jiang in Lienv Zhuan only had one feature of disaster. In other words, Mu Jiang in Zuo Zhuan is a real historical figure, and Mu Jiang in Lienv Zhuan is a remolded figure. Through this change, we can see that Zuo Qiuming and Liu Xiang have different views on creation and women, and we can also see the different social atmosphere of the two eras. During the Spring and Autumn Period painted by Zuo Qiuming's portrait, the ceremony collapsed and the Confucian moral system was not yet established. At that time, there were marriage customs such as steaming and newspaper reporting, which destroyed the concept of chastity. Adultery among women was a common phenomenon. As a widow, Mujiang had an affair with Xuanbo. If there are no serious adverse consequences, this behavior itself will not be criticized too much. When Mu Jiang reflected on his infidelity, he mentioned "abandoning his position and doing good", which is actually a higher requirement. At the same time, it should be noted that Zuozhuan pays attention to annotations and remarks in order to truly and comprehensively reflect history. Biography of Women is a book for female teachers that clearly preaches. Its purpose is not to reproduce the historical truth, but to create a standardized theoretical system through the interpretation of historical figures. Ban Gu recorded Liu Xiang's motive of writing "Biography of Women" in "Biography of the King of Han Dynasty": being vulgar and extravagant, while Zhao and Wei were humble and superior to etiquette ... The preface was "Biography of Women", with eight articles to warn the emperor. It can be seen that one of the purposes of Liu Lienv Biography is to persuade Emperor Han Chengdi not to please women. However, there is still a problem at this time. Although Mujiang has "chaotic" behavior, in fact, she did not cause "disaster". Why should she be listed as a demon? There are two explanations in The Portrait of Liu Xiang: First, Liu Xiang partly attributed the disaster of Xuanbo to Mu Jiang, which may be due to the "historical view of female disaster", that is, there must be worse women behind bad men; Secondly, because Liu Xiang is a Confucian scholar out of Confucian classics, his core purpose is to maintain the Confucian ethical system. Since Mujiang violated the etiquette, it is unforgivable, so it is called "although it is good, it can't be compiled."
