Sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and shy flowers", this is the ultimate praise of ancient poets for beauty. In the land of Wuyue in the Spring and Autumn Period, a woman named Shi Yiguang was called Xi Shi by later generations because of her stunning appearance, and her story, like her beauty, has been passed down through the ages, but it is also full of tragedy and helplessness. Today, let's walk into that period of history together, feel the tears of Xi Shi, and think about the cruelty of history and the complexity of human nature.
Xi Shi's birthplace, Yue Kingdom, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and simple folk customs, compared with Wu Kingdom, Yue Kingdom is small, but has a unique cultural customs. The state of Wu was a large and wealthy country, known for its lavish architecture and elaborate costumes. Behind these two countries, however, lies an imminent war.
Xi Shi, as part of the Yue Kingdom, her fate is closely linked to the fate of the country. Her beauty, which should have been the capital of her life, has become the shackles of her fate. She was selected as the "tribute" of the Yue Kingdom and sent to the Wu State to become the favorite concubine of Wu Wangfucha. However, this was not a voluntary choice, but a forced sacrifice.
In the state of Wu, Xi Shi won the favor of Wu Wangfu with his alluring appearance and elegant demeanor. However, her heart was full of pain and helplessness. She knew that she was a "beauty trick" sent by Yue Guo, and her task was to confuse King Wu through her beauty and charm, buy time for Yue Guo, and prepare to fight back.
Xi Shi's life in the Kingdom of Wu, although it seems to be infinite on the surface, is actually full of pain and helplessness. She had to force a smile in front of King Wu, but her heart was full of longing for her hometown and relatives. Her tears have become a true portrayal of her heart, and they are also her helplessness to fate.
However, Shih Tzu was not struck down by fate. She used her wisdom and courage to successfully complete the task assigned to her by Yue Guo. She used her position and influence to provide a large amount of intelligence to the Yue State, helping the Yue State successfully counterattack the Wu State and finally achieve the country's rejuvenation.
In the end, Shih Tzu's sacrifice was not duly rewarded. After the victory of the Yue Kingdom, she did not receive the respect and treatment she deserved, but was forced to become a victim of politics again. She was forced to leave Wu and return to Yue, but her life did not change for the better. Her life in Vietnam was full of loneliness and loneliness.
The story of Xi Shi allows us to see the cruelty of history. In those days, women were seen as objects that could be given and exchanged at will.
At the same time, the story of Shih Tzu also shows us the complexity of human nature. In the state of Wu, she was a tool to be used, and her beauty and wisdom were used to confuse the king of Wu and buy time for the kingdom of Yue. In Yueguo, she is a forgotten hero, and her sacrifice and dedication have not been duly rewarded.
The story of Xi Shi is a story full of tragedy and helplessness. Her beauty and wisdom, which should have been the capital of her life, have become the shackles of her fate. Her tears are a testimony of history and a reflection of human nature.
In today's world, living in an era of relative peace and freedom, we should cherish what we have, while also remembering that history is our mirror and humanity is our compass. We should respect history and understand human nature, so that we can better face the future and create a better life.
The Yue Nu world is white, and the Jianhu Lake is cool in May. "Although thousands of years have passed since the story of Xi Shi, our beauty and wisdom, her sacrifice and dedication, still shock and move us. Her story makes us think about how we should treat history and how we should treat humanity.
In the modern society, although we have moved away from that era full of wars and tragedies, we can still learn a lot from the story of Xi Shi. We should respect history and understand human nature, so that we can better face the future and create a better life.
At the same time, we should also think about the status and destiny of women in modern society. While we have come a long way, there are still many inequalities and injustices. We should work to change this so that every woman can be treated with the respect and treatment she deserves.
The story of Xi Shi, although full of tragedy and helplessness, also shows us the power of beauty and wisdom. "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan". Although thousands of years have passed, our beauty and wisdom, her sacrifice and dedication, still shock and move us.
