Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-31

Exquisite dice and red beans, do you know if you are lovesick?

The hills overlap and the gold is extinguished, and the sideburns and clouds want to be fragrant and snowy. Lazy to draw moth eyebrows, late to make up and groom. Before and after the flowers, the flowers reflect each other. The new post embroidered Luo shirt, double golden partridge. Wen Tingyun is a famous writer, poet and lyricist in the Tang Dynasty, one of the important writers of the Huajian School, and is respected as the originator of the "Huajian School".

It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover. Yijun's heart is like the water of the West River, flowing east day and night. Yu Xuanji, formerly known as Yu Youwei, was a talented woman in the late Tang Dynasty.

Yu Xuanji, formerly known as Yu Youwei, showed extraordinary talent in her childhood. When she was only 11 years old, her poems attracted the attention of Wen Tingyun, a great poet in Jinghua at the time.

Wen Tingyun made a special trip to visit Yu Youwei. Yu Youwei impressed Wen Tingyun with an impromptu poem "Riverside Willow". Emerald even the barren shore, smoke into the far building;The shadow paves the spring water, and the flowers fall on the fisherman's head. The root of the old Tibetan fish cave, the bottom of the branch is a passenger boat;Xiao Xiao's stormy night, frightening dreams add to sorrow. Since then, Wen Tingyun has been Yu Youwei's teacher.

Wen Tingyun later left Chang'an, and Yu Youwei missed it a lot. She wrote a poem to send to Feiqing, expressing her deep affection for Wen Tingyun.

A few years later, Wen Tingyun returned to Chang'an. There are only two things to do every time I see Yu Youwei, one is to help Yu Youwei, and the other is to guide Yu Youwei in learning. Maybe it's because of the ugly face, maybe it's the huge age difference, maybe it's because of the shame of being dirty, although Wen Tingyun is very fond of Yu Youwei, she has never crossed the line, but Yu Youwei's heart has long been deeply tied to him.

Later, Li Yi took a fancy to Yu Youwei, so he asked Wen Tingyun to introduce him. Li Yi was born in a famous family and was dignified, so the thirteen-year-old Yu Youwei married Li Yi as a concubine. Li Yi's wife, Pei Shi, whipped Yu Youwei after learning the news, forcing Li Yi to sweep her out of the house, Li Yi was cowardly and did not dare to obey, and sent her to Xianyiguan in the suburbs of Beijing as a Taoist priest, promising to come to pick her up, and from then on take the number of Yu Xuanji. She looked forward to it every day, and waited for three years, but learned that Li Yi had already gone to Yangzhou with his wife to serve as an official. Even the letter was never left, and the fish was painful, so he wrote the one, easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it was rare to have a lover.

Since then, Yu Xuanji no longer believes in love in the world, and has lived an uninhibited life, she indulges in lust wantonly, trying to anesthetize her soul. Once, she suspected that the maid was having an affair with a guest, so she tortured her to extract a confession, resulting in her death. She secretly buried the body in the backyard. Later, someone saw flies gathering in one place in the backyard and reported them. In the end, Yu Xuanji was sentenced to beheading and died at the age of 26.

Maybe Wen Tingyun is hindered by the world and doesn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, maybe he wants his beloved to have a better life. But his choice led to a tragic end.
