A river of spring water flows eastward

When is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past? Xiao Lou had another east wind last night, and the homeland could not look back at the middle of the moon. The carved fence jade should still be there, but Zhu Yan changed. Ask the jun how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing east!

This song "Yu Meiren, A Few Sentimentalities" was still in elementary school when I first came into contact with it, and hong Kong and Taiwan singer Teresa Teng lijun sang it on the radio. At that time, when I heard this song, I only felt that the tune was mournful and sad, but it did not lose its high pitch. So I noticed that I had found a lot of historical information about the word.

The author of this poem is Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty who loves beauty and is good at poetry but is willing to give up the country and mountains, a tragic figure of the times.

Li Yu's grandfather, Li Fu, was born into poverty and was a grassroots, but this person had great ambitions. After a period of coldness, Zhuang Zhicheng broke out a bloody road in the chaotic world of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, occupied a river and mountain south of the Yangtze River, and established the Southern Tang regime.

Li Fu, the former lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was a warrior, and he could not find the unique temperament and genes of the literati in him, although he also had one or two poems written by Feng Ya, but his reputation was not obvious.

Li Fuwen was not good at it, but the literary attainments of his children and grandchildren were quite profound, especially Li Yu was outstanding. Li Yu benefited so much from the political environment in jiangnan at that time and the shadow of his father and grandfather. After Li Fu occupied Jiangnan, he practiced benevolent government and recuperated the people in the territory, and did not easily start a war with the outside world, which made Jiangnan, which was already very rich, more prosperous without military disasters, and in the chaotic era of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the small court of the Southern Tang Dynasty became a rare piece of paradise in the world of strife.

Li Yu is a royal family, is a typical imperial third generation born with a golden spoon, the home country is worry-free naturally he does not need to worry much, every day in the flourishing style of Jiangnan Chun Street rain alley, do not think about other places to specialize in poetry, and even conceal the identity of micro-service to go out to study, is indeed a good learner, can write a popular word and sentence that has been passed down through the ages is nothing surprising.

The world is unpredictable, Jiangnan has nothing to do in the northern Central Plains, but it is chaotic, with the fall of the Tang Dynasty after the fall of Liang, Tang, Jin, And Han, the last imperial power fell into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty. After Zhao Kuangyin claimed that the emperor established the Northern Song Dynasty, he turned his attention to the fat meat of Jiangnan. It is really not an exaggeration to say that Jiangnan is fat, since ancient times, one-third of the world's wealth comes from Jiangnan, how can Zhao Kuangyin's eyes be red? Besides, the emperor can only have one, why do you want so many co-lords? Will you allow others to sleep next to you?

In the Fifth Dynasty later Zhou Dynasty, Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, under the pressure of Emperor Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty, had abolished the imperial title, claimed to be the lord of the state, and appointed Later Zhou as the suzerainty of Zhengzhou, and the Southern Tang became a vassal of the Northern Central Plains Dynasty, and its power became weaker and weaker. After Li Jing's death, when Li Yu became the lord of the country, the Central Plains once again changed the heavens, and later Zhou fell and the Zhao and Song dynasties were established.

Zhao Kuangyin was not as courteous as Chai Rong was when he was in power, and Zhao Kuangyin was able to give some face to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin tore off all the faces inside, and the great cause of unifying the world was unstoppable. He gave Li Yu two choices, either to surrender or to destroy the country.

Li Yushang hesitated zhao kuangyin but had no patience, he sent the general Cao Bin to cross the Yangtze River by water and directly attack the capital of southern Tang, but did not encounter much resistance to the demise of southern Tang, and the later lord Li Yu was taken prisoner.

Zhao Kuangyin ordered Cao Bin to escort Li Yu, along with his family, to the Song capital of Tokyo. Forty years of home country, three thousand miles of mountains and rivers. Fengge Dragon Tower Lian Xiaohan, Yushu Qiongzhi as a smoke lotus, how many have you ever known Gange? Once classified as a vassal, Shen Waist Pan sideburns are consumed. The most is the day of the hasty resignation of the temple, and the church still plays a parting song and weeps at gong'e. This poem is a portrayal of Li Yu's state of mind at that time, the situation is not controlled, Li Yu had to obey the arrangement of fate and go to the north.

Li Yu is an amorous seed, I don't know how many red-faced idiots are all served by his talented temperament and appearance, and there is naturally no shortage of warblers and swallows around him. Li Yu's incompetence in ruling the country is first-class in poetry, and the big bridesmaids who grew up in Jiangnan have always looked up to the literati and inkers who are good at poetry, not to mention Li Yu, who is still the lord of the country, then it is not strange to take the initiative to give hugs.

Li Yu, who resigned from the temple in a hurry, could give up everything, but he could not give up the group of women around him. However, Cao Bin was instructed by Zhao Kuangyin to allow Li Yu to take only his wife Xiao Zhouhou's concubine Concubine Miao and a number of elderly palace women, while the rest of them all stayed in Jiangnan to fend for themselves.

Here I want to talk about this lady alone, she is a mixed-race Child of Hu han, with white skin and beautiful curly hair hanging down her shoulders, and her nose bridge is high and her eyes are deeply concave. Her real name was not originally called Miao Niang, she was born into poverty, and she made a living by picking lotuses when she was at home. After work, I wanted to find my own fun and entertain myself, and I practiced a superb dance skill without a teacher. When he was sixteen years old, Li Yu, who was once taken out to study by weifu during his dance, accidentally saw that this little girl's stunning dance style made Li Yu addicted and amazed, and immediately took her into the palace to collect her money. Li Yu saw that her appearance was different from other women, especially her pair of eye-catching eyes, which made Li Yu can't help but be deeply immersed in it, and specially changed her name to "Lady Miao".

She has a certain reputation in the history of the development of feminism in China's feudal society, but most of them are negative evaluations. Because of the needs of art, and in order to practice her dance skills to the pinnacle of perfection to please Li Yu, she did not hesitate to wrap her feet into the shape of a rice dumpling. She succeeded, and when the three-inch golden lotus danced on the golden lotus platform that was only three feet in surplus, this scene not only surprised Li Yu again but also amazed the world. Li Yu ordered all the women in the Southern Tang Dynasty who could sing and dance to follow the example of Lady Miao, and it became fashionable to wrap their feet and wrap their feet.

This wind was unstoppable and quickly spread to the whole country, and since then, the door of women's foot binding has not been out of the second door, and this bad habit has continued for thousands of years, until the beginning of the Qing Dynasty was slowly stopped. Of course, there is still a debate in the historiography of whether the woman is the initiator of the woman's foot binding, and there will be no more details in this article.

Under the care of Cao Bin, Li Yu and his family crossed the river north and traveled a long way to Tokyo. In the south, Zhao Kuangyin did not have the intention of embarrassing Li Yu anymore, but only generously gave Li Yu the title of "disobedient waiter", and found an official residence at random and let him live in Bieliang. Sometimes li yu was invited to a banquet in a good mood and discussed poetry with Li Yu on the banquet.

Although Zhao Kuangyin was born as a military general and was an emperor, he had considerable respect for the literati, and this respect was engraved in his bones, which directly affected the national development strategy of the Song dynasty. Li Yu could think so far, the king of the fallen country could get a little respect from the lord was already burning incense, if the future days are still like this, it is really thankful.

However, less than a year after Li Yu came to Bieliang, Zhao Kuangyin died in the ancient myth of candlelight axe shadow, and his brother Zhao Guangyi took the throne, that is, Song Taizong.

Whether Zhao Guangyi was chest Tao or nurturing, compared to Zhao Kuangyin, the difference was more than a little and a half. At the ceremony of surrender, Zhao Guangyi, who was only a prince at the time, coveted the beauty of Xiao Zhouhou and Miao Niang beside Li Yu, but he could only bear it because of his identity.

Since he had already become emperor, there was no need to endure any longer, and Zhao Guangyi sent a eunuch from the inner court to send a message to Li Yu, asking Xiao Zhouhou to enter the palace for a banquet, and only allowed her to go alone. No matter how dull Li Yu was, he knew what was going on, but the people had to bow their heads under the low eaves, and the big green hat had to bite their teeth and stiffen it. This feeling made Li Yu's heart stir like a knife, and he didn't want to die.

Xiao Zhouhou was Li Yu's second wife, she was originally Li Yu's sister-in-law, during Li Yu's reign, she often went to the palace to visit her sister, and did not want to contact Li Yu after the two had an affair. After the great Zhou died young, Li Yu then straightened her out and became the queen of the country. After the collapse of the country, Xiao Zhouhou followed Li Yu to Bieliang without abandoning him.

In the face of Hehe Huangwei, Xiao Zhouhou was forced to give in. Xiao Zhou, who collapsed after returning from the palace, cried and scolded Li Yu incessantly, and Li Yu could only cover his face with his sleeve and be speechless.

The same is true of endless lust, and after Zhao Guangyi finished Xiao Zhou, he extended his claws to Lady Miao. One day in 978 AD, it was still the eunuchs of the inner court who came to Li Yu's official residence to pass on the edict, and the emperor ordered lady to enter the palace to dance.

Bad luck came again, but at this time, Lady Miao's face was calm, she stood in front of Li Yu without saying anything, just bowed to Li Yu in a polite manner, and then turned away and never found a trace.

What happened after that is not recorded in the history, but there is a lot of it in the history of the wild. In order to adjust the taste, Song Taizong erected a six-foot-high gold cast lotus platform on the Tailiu pond in the imperial garden, which was still a trophy brought back by Cao Bin when he conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was originally cast by Li Yu for Lady Miao, and then took it out for Lady To use.

When she ascended the lotus platform, she did not start dancing according to the musician's instructions, but knelt down and prayed three times in the direction of Jiangnan, and then jumped into the Tailiu Pool. By the time the awakened guards hurriedly salvaged Lady Miao, a wisp of fang's soul had already been destroyed.

Zhao Guangyi, whose face was iron blue, was greatly enraged, and he ordered that the golden lotus platform be destroyed and reforged into gold ingots, in short, he did not want to see this ominous thing again.

When Li Yu learned of the death of Lady Miao, the people had been numb and the tears had dried up, and in great sorrow, he thought of his own life situation and the life situation of the people around him, and he couldn't help but write the opening song that sang the desperate words that have been sung for thousands of years, "Yu Meiren, a few more sorrowful", and poured out his anger on this word.

Li Yu knew that Zhao Guangyi, who had many eyes and ears, would see this song sooner or later, and all he could do now was to quietly wait for death to come.

Sure enough, this song made Zhao Guangyi angry and angry at Li Yu. He ordered the eunuchs in the inner court to bring a pot of poisoned wine to Li Yu, and asked Li Yu to drink the wine in front of the eunuch. The poison contained in the wine is called "lead to the machine", and after drinking it, the whole body contracts and finally dies of pain. When Li Yu was poisoned, his body shrank into a miserable mess, and a generation of poetry ended in tragedy.

A hundred years after Li Yu's death, Zhao Guangyi's descendants also produced a figure like Li Yu. He was also a descendant of the imperial family, he was also full of talent, he not only specialized in poetry but also good at calligraphy and painting, he also became the emperor and became the lord of the country, he was also taken prisoner to the north and finally imprisoned in the Five Kingdoms City of Ning'an, and his wife and daughter also followed in the footsteps of Xiao Zhou hou and were humiliated and slaughtered. He was Zhao Tuo, emperor of the Song Dynasty, and a figure of equal importance to Li Yu in the history of Chinese literature.
