Dunwen, whose name is Xiaowen, has an unknown birth and death. According to Yu Huai's miscellany of Banqiao, dunwen is intelligent in nature and has a little knowledge of the meaning of words. All Tang poems are catchy. She is the granddaughter of the famous Pipa player Dunren: "she was given the pipa to protect her fingers, but she was not willing to compete in learning. Learning to play the guqin, the song of songs is three fold. It's cool and cool, and the God is with it. So it's called the heart of the Qin. "

Grandfather Dunren

From the existing historical data, we only know that dunwen was born in the turbulent era, and his grandfather Dunren was dependent on each other, because his family was poor, he entered the brothel. Dun Ren, dun Wen's grandfather, was a Northern Qu master of Nanjiao cemetery in Zhengde period (1506-1521). Qishanlin called Dunren "the first musician in the history of traditional Chinese opera to be recorded in the literature" in his Anthology of Ming and Qing Qu in Anhui Province. At that time, Nanqu was popular in the south, and no one paid attention to Beiqu. The famous Qushi Dunren went to Beijing with Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houli during the Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty, and learned more than 50 sets of Beiqu. His pronunciation was based on Zhongyuan phonology and qionglin elegant rhyme, but he Liangjun, who had a profound study of temperament, hired him as a tutor at home in his later years He said with emotion: "when Dunren was in Zhengde, he drove to Beijing to teach his grave and learned. For 50 years, he sang for the banquet. All of them were time songs (i.e. Southern songs). No one asked about these words (i.e. northern songs). Don't want to die, meet a bosom friend. (see he Liangjun's on Qu) advocated by he Liangjun, Professor Dunren and the actors in he Liangjun's family class all know Beiqu, and gradually Beiqu is valued in the south. Dunren, a talented man, and he Liangjun, a bosom friend of Du Qu, also discussed the singing methods of Beiqu. There are many records about Dunren's comments on Qu in he Liangjun's Si you Zhai Cong Shuo and Shen Defu's Gu Qu Za Yan, which have a great influence on later researchers of Qu theory. Dunren passed away for many years. Dunwen missed his grandfather very much. He often recalled that "pass on the northern legacy and walk to the southeast alone" (Shende Rune) sometimes recorded this situation. Mei Dingzuo (1549-1615) wrote a poem about this situation. In his Dunji sit and talk about Zhengde's southern tour, Mei Dingzuo said: Emperor Wu visited the old capital when he was in the south, and fireworks were traveling to the East. Change clothes don't set palace Yang around, cufu new field yucaoping. All over the selection of tancao, the wind blows, and suddenly the sound of the golden bullet chasing the warbler is heard. Baonu goes to yourenyuan. Who can remember the name of fangqu?! After listening to dunwen's memories, Mei Dingzuo described the rest of Dunren's artistic activities in poems. Like dunwen, this enlightened scholar showed his respect for the famous composer Dunren who had made contributions.

The singing girl of Hongji Jinling

Dunwen grew up with his grandfather Dunren. He was influenced by his grandfather's teaching and his playing and singing skills were gradually improved. It was because Dunren "opened his boudoir to teach his granddaughter" that dunwen grew up in the music. He was especially able to play Qin Qingge and integrate into the music, becoming the singer of the red Jinling. Dunwen is versatile and often sings her own lyrics. In Ming Ci Zong, there are some lyrics created and sung by her, such as Dianjiang lip: "just grow banana, Bi screen window, wind and rain, sound Du Yu? Don't understand spring? Where is spring going today? Speechless, red flow, cross-strait Yang gags. With tears in his eyes, he cherishes spring egg red. In fact, it is exactly the portrayal of dunwen himself. Dunwen's brothel life is full of bitter tears, but he is unable to jump out of the sea of fire. Like the falling red of late spring, he is just like a lamb to be slaughtered. Wang Ruan Ting's "Qinhuai Miscellaneous Poems" says: "the old courtyard is romantic, the past of the pear garden is full of tears, the white hair in front of the bottle talks about Tianbao, and the ten niangs are scattered in the world." This is Wang Ruan Ting's lament on the past. There are few good sceneries in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as the sun is shining and the moon is falling.

Miserable life experience

Dunwen's life experience is very miserable, Yu Huai's "miscellaneous notes of Banqiao" says: "in the Qingxi river of Pingwu, you are born in a lonely family, and you are often beaten by your father. In the end, he served as a soldier for those surnamed Li, and was implicated in prison. Although he was protected by his love, he still stayed at Niutou In miscellany of Banqiao, Yu Huai records the people and events of Nanjing brothel singing hall in the late Ming Dynasty, remembering his wandering life in Nanjing. He wrote a biography of dunwen in a sympathetic style, truly recording dunwen's miserable life. It is not difficult to see the tragic experience of the singers at that time. In order to save dunwen from the mud, Yu Huai and his friends went to visit him. At this time, dunwen was "haggard and pitiful". For Xie Yuhuai and others, "he played the piano and played the song" farewell to the Phoenix and leave the Luan "like an ape singing cuckoos." Yu Huai couldn't bear to listen to it. Later, Yu Huai found someone to rescue dunwen, who had been driven out of his home and was homeless, from the mud. However, dunwen, who had suffered a lot, was always frowning, angry and depressed. Fortunately, they met the prince who was helping the poor. They fell in love with each other. Unexpectedly, a strange disaster fell from the sky and the prince was killed suddenly. The light of hope in front of dunwen's eyes was extinguished, and dunwen was forced to wander around again, After that, he was carried away by a strong man, and he didn't know what to end up with.

comment

At the end of dunwen's biography, Yu Huai sighed with great emotion: "ho! A beautiful woman has a poor life, especially if she is a zither player! How special Deep sympathy spilled between the lines. Such a beautiful and intelligent talented woman as dunwen was born in humiliation, grew up in humiliation, and finally avoided a tragic ending. Yu Huai's true record full of blood and tears is a facsimile record of the suffering and humiliating women's blood and tears in ancient times. On the road of life full of bitterness, dunwen, who has been tempered by the wind and dust since childhood, struggles in the bitter sea of life with a cavity of sadness and resentment, leaving eternal hatred. In fact, dunwen's fate is a miniature of the talented women in ancient art circles.
