The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China's feudal society, and it was also the most glorious and prosperous period in the history of poetry.
The one we are going to talk about today is one of the four famous talented women of the Tang Dynasty: Li Ye
She can be regarded as the most powerful female Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty"The Biography of Tang Caizi" praised her: "Beautiful appearance, depressed expression, concentrate on Hanmo, good at playing the piano, and especially work rhythm." ”A song "Eight Solstice" has been passed down to future generations, and the sentence "close relatives to sparse couples" expresses the emotions of women all over the world. Because of his rich love experience, he wrote a famous poem when he fell in love, and many people in later generations jokingly called Li Ye a "love brain".
But in my opinion, Li Ye has never been a low-level love brain. 
"It's better to be famous early, too late, and not so happy. ”This sentence comes from the mouth of the talented girl Zhang Ailing. If you travel to the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty and become famous early, it may not be so happy, especially a little woman. In the spring of April 713, a little girl was born in the Li family manor in Wuxing, Huzhou, Zhejiang. This little girl is Li Ye. 
Suddenly, the Li family was full of guests and friends, the roses were in full bloom, and Li's father picked up the little girl to enjoy the flowers and poems in order to show the talent of the young daughter. Looking at it, Li Ye said casually:"After a long time, my mind is chaotic. ”Maybe the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Because "frame" and "marry" are homophonic, which means that they miss marriage and are upset and have no intention of growing. As soon as this poem came out, everyone present cast appreciative eyes, and they were all amazed by the talent of Li Ye, a little girl. But only Li Ye's father was sad and not happy for his daughter's poems at all. Because in the eyes of Li Ye's father, this poem is ominous, "framed", homophonic "married", the daughter knows the chaotic mood of the woman to be married at a young age, I am afraid that she will be a lost woman in the future! Since then, this poem has made Li Ye's father feel like a fish in his throat and unforgettable. Seeing his daughter grow up day by day and become more and more talented, Li Ye's father was very worried about what his daughter would do in the future. Within a few years, Li's father sent the talented Li Ye to the Yuzhen Taoist Temple near her hometown to become a monk, hoping that she would meditate and cultivate herself there and stick to the way of women. Since then, Li Ye has changed his name to Li Jilan. Li Jilan in the Taoist temple is as affectionate as a rose, her mind is chaotic, and she yearns for the wonderful world outside. Her melodious piano sound, her amorous verses. Not to mention a thousand years ago, but now who doesn't love such a talented and very romantic beauty? 
Therefore, the Taoist temple gradually became lively, and most of them were literati and ink writers, and later they all became her fans. After coming and going, people jokingly called her"Amorous Woman". If she used to be a young lady raised in the deep boudoir, then now she is an unrestrained Feiyan. The Taoist temple is pure and comfortable, so that Li Ye can concentrate on ink and music in his spare time, and use these elegant things to kill time. It's just that she is also talented, so in the past few years, she has achieved good results. Therefore, everyone knows that there is a beautiful woman in Yuzhen Temple who is not only handsome, but also talented. 
The eighteen-year-old girl is the time when the spring heart sprouts, and in this best year, she will soon usher in her first love-Xie Lingyun's tenth grandson, Shi Jiaoran. Shi Jiaoran has a personable demeanor and talks extraordinary, so in daily contact, Li Ye admires Shi Jiaoran more and more, and his heart is quietly agreeing. 
At that time, Li Ye used all his poetry to write love poems, and his feelings of admiration jumped on the paper one by one. She boldly wrote:"The ruler is like the remnant snow, and it becomes a double carp. If you want to know what's in your heart, look at the book in your belly. ”This made Shi Jiaoran, who was dedicated to cultivating Buddhism, very helpless, and then he had to reply to Li Ye with a poem "Answer to Li Jilan" to politely refuse, the poem said:The goddess came to try it and dyed her clothes. The Zen heart can't afford it, and the old flowers are returned. The concubine is intentional and ruthless, even if Li Ye is lovesick, he is still helpless after all. Because Shi Jiaoran is a monk who has been a monk for many years, and he is more than 20 years older than Li Ye. Therefore, from any point of view, there is no possibility for the two of them. This ignorant relationship was strangled in the cradle like this, and Shi Jiaoran after that was like a kite with a broken string, and Li Ye could no longer find any trace of him. 
The end of his first love did not make Li Ye lose his confidence in love. She believes that there are flowers and butterflies, drinking fragrant tea every day, meeting poetry friends, and sometimes playing the piano and painting, and living a good life! Such a comfortable life will make Li Ye's nourished face radiant, and change the decadence and loss of the past. 
There is talent behind such a delicate face, so it naturally attracted Yan Bojun and Zhu Fang in the future.
Yan Bojun, a man as dazzling as the sun, struck Li Ye's devastated heart with the delicacy of spring breeze and rain. In the afternoon when the willow green wind is soft, they take a boat on the sparkling lake, holding hands to enjoy the picturesque scenery. When the interest comes, I will also chant poems against you, and you will say the love words one by one. In the depths of her love, Li Ye completely let go of her former emotional wounds, and desperately loved the man in front of her, because she thought that this moment would last forever. 
It's just that she overestimated Yan Bojun's love for her, and in the face of the future, Yan Bojun resolutely abandoned Li Ye and turned around to marry the daughter of a wealthy family. Her sweetheart's mind has changed, and Li Ye may have been unwilling and complaining in her heart, but she didn't keep it, because she also has her own self-esteem and bottom line, and only gave a song "Sending Yan Twenty-six to Yan County", which can be regarded as an explanation for this relationship. The poem says:Outside the flowing water, the lonely boat is returning to the west. Affection is everywhere in the grass, everywhere. The concubine dreamed through Wu Yuan, and Jun traveled to Yanxi. Returning to visit each other, Mo Xue Ruan Lang is a fan. 
The last failed relationship did not make this **unruly woman change her temperament, for her: love needs to be pursued with courage and a sincere treatment. This time, Li Ye met his student Zhu Fang by chance.
The two got acquainted with their talents, talked about poetry and lyricism, talked about the past and the present, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and the more they talked, the more they fell in love, until the sun set, they said goodbye. Zhu Fang should not have left a tender poem when he was leaving:"The new flowers on the ancient shore bloom a branch, and there is separation under the flowers on the shore; Mo brushed Luo's sleeves and fell, which is when the pedestrian broke his bowels. ”Since then, every afternoon, Li Jilan and Zhu Fang meet by the river, play in the mountains and rivers, and sing poems and duets. If he didn't see him for a day, Zhu Fang knew that Li Jilan would be locked and it was inconvenient to go out of the Taoist temple, so he would go as a pilgrim, quietly go into his girlfriend's cloud room, drink tea and listen to the piano, and complain to each other. Time flickered for more than half a year, Zhu Fang was called to Jiangxi as an official, Li Jilan could not accompany him as a Taoist priest, and the two lovers had to say goodbye in tears. When parting, Li Ye had tears in his eyes, and looked at Zhu Fang hand in hand, with only disappointment in his eyes.
Zhu Fang is not a person with little affection, in the face of such a scene, he has to sigh that his love is deep and shallow, and he makes people happy. When he was reluctant to give up, he wrote "Farewell Li Jilan":"The new flowers on the ancient shore bloom a branch, and there is separation under the flowers on the shore; Don't brush the sleeves of the flowers, it is when the pedestrian's intestines are broken. Li Ye understood that Zhu Fang's affection for him was true, and it was also true that the emperor's order could not be disobeyed. Feelings came to my heart in an instant, and I immediately wrote "Sending Zhu Fang" to comfort this fateThe poem says:Looking at the water and trying to climb the mountain, the mountain is high and the lake is wide. Lovesickness has no dawn, looking at each other for years. Lush mountains and trees, and wild flowers. Say goodbye to infinite affection, and say it when we meet. Countless late nights that are difficult to sleep peacefully, the moonlight carries the cool breeze on the face, Li Ye strokes the piano in front of the window, and the voice of resentment turns into a song "Spring Resentment":On the fence of the hundred-foot well, several peaches have turned red. Nian Jun Liaohaibei, throw away the concubine Song Jiadong.
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Li Jilan wiped away her tears and groaned:"The moon is silent when leaving people, the moon is bright, and people are affectionate; After farewell, lovesickness is like the moon, and the water between the clouds reaches the layer city. ”Good sentence"Water from the clouds to the city". It can be seen that Li Jilan's love for Zhu Fang is deep and attentive. She always silently remembers the small gathering before parting with her lover, and recalls the happiness of the fairy town (the meaning of the city) in the clouds. Because of this poem, she was praised by the great poet Liu Changqing as "the poet among women". This long-distance relationship was finally defeated by time. Later, she wrote the famous poem "Lovesick Resentment" in Acacia, which was praised by later generations. The humane sea is deep, not half lovesick. The sea still has an end, and the lovesickness is endless. Carry the piano to the high-rise building, and the building is full of moonlight. Playing the acacia song, the strings were broken for a while.
Then when he was not confused, Li Ye looked down on feelings and saw through the essence of feelings. She began to realize that those feelings in the mortal world were fleeting and fleeting, so she condensed her lifelong feelings into poetry and left the famous "Eight Solstice":From near to far east and west, to deep to shallow clear stream. As high as the sun and the moon, from relatives to husband and wife. After going through so much, Li Ye, who has seen everything, just wants to spend her old age in peace, she hopes to return to the time when she first entered the Yuzhen Temple, taste tea and flowers, chant poems, and live a clean and comfortable life.
However, when those poems reached the eyes of the emperor, Li Ye's stable life was shattered. The emperor couldn't put down Li Ye's poems, and he was very much looking forward to seeing his style. So Li Ye was ordered to enter Beijing to face the saint, and on the way to it, he reluctantly wrote a poem "Grace Chased into the Old Man of Beiguangling". The poem says:There is no talent and many diseases, but the false name reaches nine times. Shame on the crown of the flowery hair, more ashamed of the mirror decay. Chixin North Que follows the grass, and the South Mountain looks at the old peak. The laurel tree can not stay wild guests, and the sand gulls go out of Pupu to meet. When the emperor saw Li Ye, who had a beautiful face and a detached temperament, he felt a little melancholy in his heart when he didn't meet each other. Gao Zhongwu once spoke highly of Li Ye in "Zhongxing Qi Collection":The upper is less than Ban Ji (Jieyu), and the lower is more than Han Ying (Lan Ying). Not to the twilight, but also a handsome woman. It can be seen that Li Ye is indeed a rare beauty.
I thought that I would be able to live a pure life this time, but the good times did not last long, and the difficulty of Fengtian happened out of time. After Zhu Zhu's rebellion, he admired Li Ye's talent very much and charged Li Ye to write poems for him. The situation was critical at that time, and in order to save his life, Li Ye had to write poems praising Zhu Jun. Unexpectedly, the situation changed dramatically later, the emperor led the army to recover the lost territory, and Li Ye was charged with rebellion because he wrote poems to traitorsIn the end, he died under the stick, ending his bumpy life in the most tragic way.
A generation of talented women died under heavy punishment, which is all regrettable. But her calmness and enthusiasm in the face of feelings made the man ashamed.
Someone wrote: Loving someone is a big gamble, what to bet on? It's about sincerity, time, experience, strength and even moneyCompared with Li Ye, Shi Jiaoran is too wooden, Yan Bojun is too utilitarian, and Zhu Fang is too shallow, and their love for their feelings is less than half of Li Ye's. She has been amorous in her life, but every relationship is frank and warm; Ordinary men use their talents to exchange fame and fortune for themselves, but Li Ye only hopes to exchange his talents for a lover's sinceritySuch a woman is not a vulgar love brain
