There was the Tang Dynasty, with an open atmosphere and prosperous culture. There were many female poets with brilliant literary talent and many excellent works, and Li Jilan, who was active in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, was one of them. However, when Li Jilan was a child, her father asserted that she would become a wicked woman in the future, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to end well, and the final result was indeed so. What the hell is going on here?

Li Ye's word Jilan is famous all over the world. He was active in the period when the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline. He was brilliant since childhood and was quite able to compose poems. When Li Jilan was 6 years old, she attended a family gathering, and her father asked her to compose a poem impromptu in order to show off her agility and poetic talent. Facing the house full of elders, Li Jilan, who was still childish, didn't get stage fright at all. Pointing at the rose outside, he opened his mouth and wrote a poem, which surprised everyone at that time.

Supposedly, Li Fu should be happy with his daughter's appearance. Unexpectedly, instead of smiling at his face, he pointed to two lines in the poem and said, "You are so cunning and unruly at an early age. You must be a wicked woman when you grow up. In that case, I'll send you to become a monk and think about it in a quiet place, lest you stay at home and become a disaster. "

The family was greatly shocked after hearing this, so they asked Li Fu why. Li Fu sighed lightly, and then explained: "The poem's' shelf' is a homonym of' marriage'. This woman is not yet old, but she knows that the woman to be married is upset. If she doesn't control it, will she grow up?" ("When I was six years old at the beginning, I wrote" Rose Poems ":'I didn't stand up when I passed, but my mood was chaotic.' When his father saw him, he said,' This woman is very clever, and I am afraid she will be a woman who has lost her virginity.' "See" biography of Tang talented person ").

Sure enough, four years later, Li Jilan was sent to Shuzhong (now Shengzhou City, Zhejiang Province) to become a monk, when she was only 1 years old. What Li Fu didn't expect, however, was that Li Jilan was out of his control, but he became more free and loose. In addition to reading classics, he wrote poems, learned Chinese characters and played the piano every day. In a blink of an eye, Li Jilan has grown to the age of 16. Because he was tired of the boring life in the Taoist temple, he began to sing with the taxi people outside the temple, and gradually became famous in the local area.

During the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was quite open. Women could not only wear "topless clothes", but also take part in activities traditionally reserved for men, such as riding horses, playing ball games, fencing and poetry meetings. Moreover, in these occasions, men and women reward each other and sing in harmony, which has long forgotten the stale concept of "men and women giving and receiving without kissing". Instead of being attacked by the literati class, these phenomena were praised by them to some extent.

Therefore, Li Jilan's association with celebrities as a female Taoist has gradually become a unique and beautiful "landscape" in the local area. As he grew older, Li Jilan's personality became more open, and the scope of making friends became wider and wider. He often met his poetry friends and wrote poems while drinking in Kaiyuan Temple in Wucheng, and the atmosphere was quite active. In every poetry and wine conference, Li Jilan was undoubtedly the "focus person".

Of course, elegant topics are not always discussed in poetry and wine conferences. Sometimes, when the wine is full of enthusiasm, Li Jilan will also talk about some "dirty jokes" with his poetry friends. Although the way is obscure, the scale is quite large. In this regard, Gao Zhongwu, an anthologist of Tang poetry, once commented in "Qi Ji between Zhongxing" that "a scholar has a hundred lines, a woman is only four virtues, but Ji Lan is not. The form and spirit are both masculine and poetic, which is rare since Bao Zhao. "It is too open to Li Jilan's character, which means a lot of criticism.

Li Jilan has a wide range of friends, such as great poet Liu Changqing, "Cha Sheng" Lu Yu and famous monk Jiao Ran, and celebrities Zhu Fang, Han Yi, Yan Bojun, Xiao Shuzi, etc. Among them, Zhu Fang and Lu Yu also had a sincere and enthusiastic relationship with her for many years, but unfortunately they all ended without results. Although Li Jilan's love life is bumpy, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and his activities are not limited to the middle school, but as far away as Yangzhou, where scholars gather, and he has made a splash there.

Li Jilan's poems are so famous that later generations called them "the four great poetesss of the Tang Dynasty" together with Xue Tao, Yu Xuanji and Liu Caichun. Not only that, even Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, who loved literature and art, heard about Li Jilan's poems, and when he was very interested, he ordered her to enter Beijing to be a saint, which delighted him. However, when Li Jilan rushed to Chang 'an with excitement, she was unfortunately confronted with "An Shi Rebellion". As a result, instead of seeing the emperor, she became "neglected" because of the war.

Many years later, when Li Jilan appeared in the public eye again, his identity had changed to "anti-Party". It turns out that during the reign of Tang Dezong, with the support of the rebels in Jingyuan Town, the Secretary General and Qiu Zhu Ba launched a mutiny in Chang 'an, which not only drove the emperor out of the capital, but also arrogated to himself the title of emperor, suffering from Guanzhong for more than a year. During Zhu Zhi's rebellion, Li Jilan had close contacts with him, wrote frequent letters, and even wrote several ode poems for him.

Therefore, when Zhu Qiu was defeated and Tang Dezong returned to Chang 'an, he was arrested out of resentment against Li Jilan. At first, Tang Dezong had a good impression on Li Jilan, and called her "Jun Yu" more than once. Now, when he saw her, he was furious. First, he blamed why he didn't learn Yan Juchuan's poem: "Holding a ritual vessel, he cried in vain, but he dared not speak." Then he ordered the guards to beat her to death with a stick, and she was under construction for five years (784). It is really embarrassing that a generation of talented women ended up with such a sad ending.

Li Jilan, a woman with amorous feelings, wrote a poem, saying many things contrary to her will, so she didn't record it. The emperor rebuked the capital again, called Ji Lan to blame him, and said, "Why don't you learn from Yan Juchuan's poem:' Holding a ritual vessel and weeping in vain, remembering that a wise gentleman dared not speak'?" He ordered it to be culled. See "Fengtianlu Volume I" written by Zhao Yuanyi of the Tang Dynasty.
