Cai Wenji: The First Female Poet

Chae Yeon (177-? ), Cai Wenji, formerly known as Evonne, was renamed Moon Hee and Chen Liulai (now Qixian County, Henan Province), the daughter of Cai Yong, a famous poetess and pianist in the Three Kingdoms period. The history books say that she is "knowledgeable and talented, but she is also better at melody." Father Cai Yong is a close friend of Cao Cao and the daughter of Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cai Wenji married Wei Zhongdao at the age of 16. Wei family was a clan in Hedong at that time, and Wei Zhongdao was an excellent university student. The couple loved each other very much, but it didn't last long. Less than a year later, Wei Zhongdao died of hemoptysis. Without giving birth to a son and a half, the Wei family thought she killed her husband. At that time, Cai Wenji was just arrogant and resolutely returned to his family despite his father's opposition.

After his father died in prison, Wenxi was taken away by the Huns. She was only twenty-three years old and was accepted as a princess by Zuo. She spent twelve spring and autumn outside the Great Wall and gave birth to two sons. During this time, she also learned to play Hu Jia and some foreign languages.

In the 13th year of Jian 'an (208), Cao Cao remembered his friend Cai Yong's friendship, learned that Moon Hee was living in the southern Xiongnu, sent messengers to redeem him, and remarried Liu Chen Dongsi at the age of 35 (when the famous "Battle of Red Cliffs" broke out). Later, Dongsi committed a crime and died. Cai Yan personally pleaded with Cao Cao, during the severe winter. The history contains "Peng Shouxing, kowtowing and repenting, with a clear and sad tone." Wenxi was married three times in her life, and her fate was bumpy. Ding M described her marriage in Ive, Cai Bo.

Cai Wenji is well-read and talented in music. At the age of six, she recognized the broken string through the wall. When she grows up, she is a piano superman. Combined with his own tragic experience, he created a sad and heartbreaking piano music "Eighteen Beats by Hu Jia". After her marriage with Dong Si, she became sentimental, lived in two places, and wrote two sorrowful poems, the first autobiographical five-character narrative poem in the history of China's poetry. At the request of Cao Cao, she recited her father's lost books with her excellent memory, and wrote them clearly, inheriting her father's career and making great contributions to the preservation and dissemination of China's classical cultural classics.

Cai Yan's final destination has not been recorded in the history books, which has become another puzzle left by history to the world. Cai Wenji and Dong Si have a son and a daughter. The daughter married Sima Shi, the son of Sima Yi.
