In ancient times, women's lives were relatively monotonous, and they did not have as many ways to entertain modern women. They spend their boring days at home chatting with friends or sisters, playing the piano, and having fun.
If they had asked a few good sisters to go shopping and play like they do now, it would have been considered immoral in society at the time.
Since the rise of poetry, literati have been keen to drink and write poems, and even make couplets. But it will never be easy through the ages, and it will take luck to help. To this day, some of the Magic Links still have to be properly linked.
In the Song Dynasty, culture flourished, talented women were produced in large numbers, and even the literary talents of some talented women were amazing. Kaifeng has an only daughter, her father became rich in business, and hired a teacher for her to teach her to read.
When the girl entered marriageable age, her father began to worry about her life's affairs, and he decided to ask a matchmaker to help her find a suitable husband. He made it clear that the other party's family conditions do not have to be too superior, as long as the daughter likes it.
However, the young girl has a clear opinion on the matter of marriage, and she insists that her future partner must be talented, and only then can she have a common language with her.
Otherwise, she would rather be single than marry, and she would not lower her standards to find someone who is inferior to herself.
After some hard work, the matchmaker finally selected three very good young people. She told the girl about their interests and family backgrounds. Judging by the data, these three young people are very talented.
The worst one is also a lifter, and the other two are jinshi, which makes the girl feel very difficult to choose. So she came up with a couplet: "The spring water in the cave is inexhaustible."
She asked the matchmaker to tell the three young men that if anyone could make a satisfactory match, they could marry her. The first answer to the genius is "the mountain breeze is coming", this answer is very neat, almost impeccable, and the artistic conception is also very good.
The second genius's answer is "smoke billowing from the house", which is obviously not as good as the first. The third genius's answer is "alpine pines and cypresses are perennial", which is a very good answer and very atmospheric.
However, the girl still chose the first talent. Who do you think has the better answer?
