On August 10th, Zhao Mingcheng went out to socialize again. Li Qingzhao was sitting at home alone with nothing to do. He wanted to read a book, but he didn’t want to There was no historical classics that she liked in the room he was in. There was only a book called "Rhyme" on the table.

There is almost no written history in Hanchuang, and the road ends here. Brother Kong Fang, who works in Qingzhou, is happy to cause trouble all day long. I refuse to write poems and chat behind closed doors. I sleep in bed with sweet fragrance and have good thoughts. In silence I found my best friend, Mr. Wuyou, Zi Xuzi.

The first sentence of this poem uses an allusion to Yuan Shu to describe the situation in which the author is in a room where there is no history of writing, and satirizes Zhao Mingcheng's spiritual deficiencies. The second sentence explains the reason. "Kong Fang" means money, saying that Zhao Mingcheng is running around for money all day long. In Li Qingzhao's eyes, he is just a common man. He socializes every day and is causing trouble. In the third sentence, the author also writes about his own state of mind, saying that poetry should close the door and not be disturbed by the outside world, so that only good sentences can be written. And under such circumstances, she also met two good friends, named Zixu and Wuyou. Interesting Facts about Li Qingzhao

That day, Li Qingzhao put on this dress and went to the street. He saw an old man selling an ancient book called "Ancient Epigraphy and Stone Research". This was the ancient book that Li Qingzhao had been longing for for a long time but could not get. She immediately asked the old man the price of the book, and the old man said that the book would cost thirty taels anyway. But Li Qingzhao searched everywhere and only found about ten taels of silver.

One year during the Double Ninth Festival, when Zhao Mingcheng was working as an official in another place, Li Qingzhao wrote a song called "Drunk Flower Yin" and sent it to her husband. After Zhao Mingcheng received it, he admired his wife's lyrics skills very much. But he was unwilling to succumb to his wife, so he closed the door and after three days and three nights of studying hard behind closed doors, he finally wrote fifty words and incorporated some of his wife's words into it. He showed these words to his friend Lu Defu. After reading it, Lu Defu said: Among these words, three sentences are the best. Zhao Mingcheng quickly asked which three sentences they were. Lu Defu said: There is no way to be in ecstasy. The west wind blows behind the curtain, and people are thinner than yellow flowers. And these three lines are exactly the three lines of Li Qingzhao that Zhao Mingcheng added to his lyrics.

Li Qingzhao and her husband Zhao Mingcheng are both intellectuals and often study together. They often play a little game called book gambling. That is, one party comes up with an allusion, and the other party has to tell where the broken allusion comes from. The winning party can have a cup of tea, but the losing party not only has no tea to drink, but also has to accept the ridicule of the other party. In fact, the person who wins is usually Li Qingzhao. She is so proud after winning that she spills tea on her clothes. This is the allusion to the poem by Nalan Xingde, a famous poet from the Qing Dynasty, "Betting on books will dissipate the fragrance of tea. At that time, it was just ordinary."

"The most talented woman of all time" - Li Qingzhao. Later generations commented a lot about her, but when talking about Li Qingzhao, her husband, Zhao Mingcheng, cannot be forgotten. Zhao Mingcheng was born in 1081, two years older than Li Qingzhao. His father was Zhao Tingzhi, the prime minister of the dynasty.

When Zhao Mingcheng was young, he was very similar to Li Qingzhao. Both of them lived with their parents in Bianjing because their father was an official.

Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao are a rare match. After marriage, the two played in harmony and had similar interests. They enjoyed collecting epigraphy, calligraphy and paintings. Two years later, Zhao Mingcheng entered the court as an official, but his career was not smooth sailing and was even affected by party strife. Later, due to party disputes, Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao had no choice but to return to Qingzhou and lived a life in the fields and countryside. From the nobles to the common people, the gap can be imagined. However, the two of them have the same interests and hobbies. This period of time in Qingzhou was the happiest and harmonious time for the couple. The two often studied knowledge. This period was also the most successful period for Zhao Mingcheng's gold and stone career.

When Zhao Mingcheng was the prefect of Jiangning, he was dismissed from office because of a rebellion and deserted the battle. This incident made Li Qingzhao feel extremely humiliated. Although the couple had no quarrels in their subsequent lives, Li Qingzhao became cold and distant from Zhao Mingcheng. In 1129, due to rebellion, they had no choice but to start their escape life. Passing through Wujiang River, Li Qingzhao could not help but recite "Summer Quatrains" to express his inner resentment. But Zhao Mingcheng had a different feeling in his heart after hearing this. He felt extremely ashamed. After that, he became even more depressed and depressed, and soon died of illness.

After Zhao Mingcheng died, Li Qingzhao began a lonely and helpless life. Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao have no descendants, which is a very strange thing.

After Zhao Mingcheng died, he left fifteen boxes of collections and books to Li Qingzhao. Before he died, he explained one by one how Li Qingzhao should arrange his collection. Zhao Mingcheng was able to give his collection a home, but he never considered the home of his so-called beloved wife. In other words, "people are inferior to things." Li Qingzhao's work style

Li Qingzhao is a rare female official in history and is known as Yi'an layman. Whether it is career or love, they have extremely high pursuits. She saw things that others couldn't see, thought about things that others couldn't think about, and took on more responsibilities. A woman from feudal society with a modern female personality, she transcends the time and space where she lives, so she is destined to be misunderstood by others. She is burdened with a heavy hatred of the country and the family. The hardships in life make her utopia go further and further away.

Ancient portraits of Li Qingzhao

Li Qingzhao’s works reflect patriotism, judgment of the current situation, and pursuit of equality between men and women. She pioneered the patriotism of Chinese female writers, and she allowed us to see another side of Chinese women besides their emotional life. Zhu of the Song Dynasty said that she was the first woman in the dynasty. Modern writer Hu Shi commented that the most wonderful thing about Li Qingzhao was that he used line drawing to write lyrics, so he could influence many people. Therefore, future generations should also promote vernacular writing. The literary world in the Northern Song Dynasty was mainly dominated by Xiao Ling, and Li Qingzhao started slow poetry after that. She would not follow the trend and use the writing style of the time, but created her own system. Li Qingzhao is good at using metaphors to describe objects and express aspirations. I like to use some well-known allusions and use popular language to let people understand the meaning of the text. Li Qingzhao is good at using language to express the beauty of music. Words themselves are a kind of lyrics. She can extract vivid literary language from spoken language, which is the best display of her personal skills. Using words and music to control emotions, Li Qingzhao stood from a female perspective and used lyrical techniques to show the innocence of a girl and the different states of a woman and a widow, each with her own style of farewell and lovesickness. Inheriting the writing techniques of the graceful school and having its own innovations. Li Qingzhao's later years

Li Qingzhao's later years were miserable. Zhao Mingcheng's death, the loss of calligraphy and paintings, Zhang Ruzhou's deception, and the country's cowardice all plunged her life into a sea of ??endless suffering, but the most tragic thing was that she was old and helpless.

Ancient Portrait of Li Qingzhao

Li Qingzhao felt that the world was as turbulent as a flood, and she was a lone boat floating in it. The troubles in her love life and the national crisis both left her mentally and physically exhausted. But what makes her feel coldest is that her value as an ordinary woman cannot be realized.

The elderly Li Qingzhao has no husband, no children, and only a small courtyard. She has no relatives and no ability to worry about state affairs.

Sweeping the fallen leaves every autumn, except for the occasional visit from one or two friends, her house was deserted. One day, an old friend came to see her with his little daughter. Li Qingzhao saw that this little girl was very smart, cute and intelligent, just like herself when she was a child. She thought that she had no children and apprentices, so she pulled the little girl and said, "You are of learning age now. I am already old. Come and learn from me. I am willing to give you what I have learned throughout my life." But she didn't expect the little girl to open her mouth. He said: "It is virtue for a woman to have no talent."

Childish words are unbridled, but Li Qingzhao suddenly felt cold. It turned out that outsiders saw her this way. Fortunately, she always felt that she cared about national affairs and wrote books to pass it on. Karma is a respected thing, but it turns out that the world is full of misunderstandings about people like her. This terrible feeling made her breath short, as if she were falling into an abyss, and the people around her looked at her like a weirdo. The tragedy of Li Qingzhao is that as an intellectual, she is at the top of society, but as a woman, she is at the bottom of society. She will never have the chance to realize many of her ideas. Evaluation of Li Qingzhao

There are many great women in history, but there are very few in the history of literature. Li Qingzhao is one of the rare ones. The poetry of the Song Dynasty in my country reached its peak, and Li Qingzhao's contribution was of great importance. Her lyrics are gorgeous and lingering, so she has received high praise in the history of literature.

Stills of Li Qingzhao

Li Qingzhao’s lyrics are fresh, natural and eclectic. And because she is a woman, her perspective is more unique, so people think very highly of Li Qingzhao. All her testimonials come from literature. Some people commented that she was stunningly beautiful in China, while others commented that she was proud of China in terms of poetry.

However, the evaluation of Li Qingzhao’s private life is not so positive. Li Qingzhao originally had a very happy married life, and she and her husband were in love with each other, and they had many sexual topics. However, such days did not last long, and Li Qingzhao's husband died. Li Qingzhao's second marriage was very unfortunate. He divorced three months after the marriage. In order to get a smooth divorce, he almost went through two years of prison life. In that era, a sudden marriage and divorce would undoubtedly be criticized, let alone a divorce after remarriage. From then on, Li Qingzhao began a lonely and helpless life until his death. This remarriage seems normal now, but at that time, it was really unethical and unruly, so people's evaluation of Li Qingzhao began to plummet, thinking that she was not a virtuous woman and so on.

Li Qingzhao had a rough life. Although his first marriage was arranged by his parents, he lived a happy life for several years after the marriage. The second paragraph was chosen by me, but the result was not satisfactory. But fortunately, she has always lived her own life and never cared about the judgment of the world.
