Speaking of the four beautiful men in ancient China, the first thing we think of is the beauty of Song Yuruo Pan'an, the Lanling King wearing a mask, and Wei Jiu, who was watched to death. It can be said that few people know their big names. All four of them were born beautiful and talented, but unfortunately none of them died well, and none of them died normally. (How did the four beautiful men in China die)
The four beauties of ancient China: Pan An, Lanling Wang, Song Yu, and Wei Jie
The four beauties of ancient China: Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Marten Cicada, and Yang Yuhuan
The four great talents of ancient China: Tang Yin, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing
The four talented women of ancient China: Cai Wenji, Li Qingzhao, Shangguan Wan'er, and Zhuo Wenjun
First, the first beautiful man in ancient times, Pan An
Pan An is known as the "first beautiful man in ancient times", he is the first of the four beautiful men in ancient China. What everyone calls "Looking like Pan'an" is talking about him. He is not only very handsome, but also very stylish, and the ancients described him with three words: "beauty, posture, and instrumentation." It is said that every time Pan An goes out, there will be many beautiful women chasing him, even the old woman is fascinated by it, which shows that he is a very attractive and beautiful man.
He came out very handsome and beautiful, and very talented. He was a famous writer and politician in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the allusion to the white-haired and tragic autumn originated from him. In literature, Pan An and Lu Ji are called "Pan Jiang Lu Hai", and "Qiu Xingfu" is one of his masterpieces. It is a pity that such a beautiful man, in the end, could not end well, and was framed by villains to destroy the three tribes.
Second, the most tragic beautiful man Lanling King
One of the four most beautiful men in ancient times, King Lanling can be said to be the most tragic one to die, because he was killed by his own relatives. He was known as the God of War, and in addition to being very handsome, he was also a great general with great military achievements. Unfortunately, the later lord Gao Wei was a careful emperor. Just because Lanling King said the wrong thing, he was jealous of him and gave poisoned wine to poison Lanling King to death.
It is said that Lanling Wang, one of the four beautiful men in ancient times, was not yet 30 years old when he died. It can be said that the Lanling King died with despair of this world. LanLing King's life is too perfect, and perfect people are often jealous. There is no saying: Wood shows the forest, and the wind will destroy it. But it is also because he is too perfect and his death is tragic, so many people feel sorry for him.
Third, the depressed Song Yu
Song Yu was a man of the Warring States period and one of the four beautiful men of ancient China. He liked to resign, and was a cifu artist after Qu Yuan, with the same name as Tang Le and Jing Cha. His works include "Nine Debates", "Wind Endowment", "Gao Tang Fu", "Deng Disciple Lustful Endowment", "Divine Daughter Endowment" and so on. Although Song Yu's achievements are difficult to compare with Qu Yuan's, he is the direct inheritor of Qu Yuan's poetic art.
"Look like Pan An, beautiful like Song Yu", Song Yu is more than 500 years earlier than Pan An, who is also a beautiful man, and it can even be said that in the history of china for the first 3,000 years, Song Yu was the biggest "handsome man". Although Song Yu is handsome and very talented, he was born poor and had a bad career. It can be said that he ended up depressed with regret,
Fourth, Wei Jiu, who was watched to death
Wei Jiu, one of the four beautiful men in ancient China, was only 27 years old when he died, and it is said that he was watched to death. When Wei Jiu was five years old, his appearance was different from ordinary people, and his grandfather Wei Jiu said that Wei Jiu was different, but he was old enough not to see the day when he grew up. When Wei Jie was young, he took a sheep cart to the street market, and everyone who saw him thought it was a jade man, and people went to watch him. The hussar general Wang Ji was Wei Jie's uncle, handsome and handsome, and had a graceful posture, and every time he saw Wei Jie, he sighed and said that Zhu Yu was beside him, and he felt that his appearance was ugly. He once told others that traveling with Wei Jie was like having a bright bead next to him, shining brightly.
When Wei Jiu traveled from Yuzhang County to Kyoto (present-day Nanjing), people had already heard of his fame, and those who came to see him surrounded him like a wall. Wei Jiu originally had a weak illness, and his body could not bear to be tired, and eventually became seriously ill and died. At that time, people said that they had seen Wei Jie die. This is the origin of the idiom "look at the killing of Wei Jie".
