Born in poverty, Yan Lingbin was adopted by a Bustard in a brothel in pingkangli lane. Yan Lingbin was very intelligent and good-looking when she was young.

She became a famous prostitute of that era.

The prostitutes in brothels in Tang Dynasty can be divided into three classes according to the different objects of reception: the first-class prostitutes mainly receive high-ranking officials and nobles, celebrities and refined scholars; the middle-class prostitutes go to the arms of rich businessmen and small and medium-sized officials; the lower class prostitutes, regardless of their trade status, as long as they are willing to pay money, greet each other with a smile. There are also top-quality products in the top-quality products, which is the so-called "all know".

At that time, there were only three people in pingkangli Lane who could really be recognized by the guests, namely Zheng Juju, Xue Chuer and Yan Lingbin. Zheng Juju, the first of the three, is famous for her great general demeanor and her ability to deal with awkward situations quickly. Later, she gradually grew old and retired with arrogance.

During the reign of emperor Dezong and Emperor Qianfu of Tang Dynasty, the vassal town was under the exclusive power of eunuch, but the ordinary court officials had no power and had nothing to do all day. So they went to pingkangli lane, where the brothel song hall was concentrated, to hold a meeting of culture and wine every day. They found a name at random and gathered together to fill the void of life and relieve their depression by means of sound, color, culture and wine.

In addition to leisure officials, literati and refined scholars were often invited to make fun of such meetings. In addition to orchestrating, singing and dancing and accompanying girls, there must also be a famous prostitute with outstanding talent and appearance, wide knowledge and good words to host the banquet program. This kind of program host is called "Duzhi". "Duzhi" is not easy to do. In addition to appearance and behavior, we must also be good at adjusting and arranging. We should not only create the atmosphere of the whole venue, but also make everyone happy. As far as personal quality is concerned, we should be able to speak and sing, be good at poetry and literature, and be comprehensive.

My heart is full of promise

Yan Lingbin's charming friends, such as cloud, but she is not particularly biased to any one, not to mention the heart of each other. People think that she is used to seeing red men and green women. She has no spring wave in her heart. She thinks that her weak body can't bear the carnal indulgence But no one thought that this beautiful girl's heart had already been secretly promised.

Who is the lucky man? This is even more unexpected, he turned out to be the "fierce wanton singer" Liu Chichi in Chang'an City, that is, a poor boy who sings elegy for others. Although Liu Chichi was a low professional, he was versatile. He not only had a clear voice, but also composed his own lyrics, wrote poems and compositions. He was sincere and affectionate. The two fell in love with each other, and they had similar life experiences and feelings. They often comforted each other and took pity on each other, resulting in true feelings. In private, they vow to each other for life, but under the current situation, they can only go back and forth secretly. When they have saved enough money to redeem the brothel for Yan Lingbin, they will be married.

die

Yan Lingbin, who was wearing thin clothes to host the wine and culture meeting for the guests in the cold season, got a slight illness because he felt cold after sweating. I wanted to recuperate for a few days and I would get better, but because of my weak constitution, my illness became more and more serious, and finally I was unable to get up.

One warm afternoon with the sun, Yan Lingbin reluctantly propped up his weak body and went to the porch to sit down. At this time, the spring is coming to an end, and the petals of red flowers are falling in the spring breeze. Catkins are flying all over the sky like snow. Seeing this scene, Yan can't help but think of his life experience, weak and sick body, just like the flowers and plants in front of him. One day, he will wither in the spring of life. She could not help but put two lines of tears on her pale cheek, then turned back to the room and chanted:

The rest of the breath is three or five, and the flower has two or three branches;

If you say goodbye to a bottle of wine, you'll have no later period.

She seems to have some premonition of life. Taking advantage of her better spirits these days, she transcribed many copies of this sad little poem on Huanhua paper and sent it to some friends who have close contacts on weekdays. She also attached a short note saying, "please take the time to come and say goodbye to the sick girl who is holding a banquet to serve the guests this time."

Many friends came to the meeting one after another when they saw Yan Lingbin's gloomy invitation.

It's a night without wind and moon. Yan Lingqi shakes his body slightly. His thin face is wearing a hard smile. He is sick and presides over the banquet. The guests don't want to mention the sad things and try their best to drink happily. With Yan Lingbin's skillful arrangement, we all talked about a lot of interesting new poems. It seems that we are eager to finish what we have to say. Finally, Yan Lingbin's smile could not be maintained any longer, and he said to you in tears: "I will soon die, spring flowers and Autumn Moon. I used to wait for you to spend a lot of happy time, but now I have no time to meet again. Here I would like to make a final request to you, that is, I hope you can send me some farewell articles. I can't thank you enough!" Then I fell to the table and wept, but I couldn't help myself. But at this time, who has the heart to say goodbye?

After the banquet, Yan Lingbin's condition went from bad to worse. A few days later, this gorgeous brothel prostitute finally died when she was young. She is like a delicate flower, in the most exuberant open time, the spring breeze scattered petals, regret withered in the merciless streamer.

Yan Lingbin used to be a cash cow in the hands of her bustard. When people died, the tree withered. She thought that she could get some rich sacrificial gifts from the guests who usually supported her. Unexpectedly, all the guests followed Yan Lingbin's instructions and sent her farewell articles and mourning poems. The bustard didn't understand its value. She felt extremely disappointed and angrily threw all the poems out of yicui's building to the street outside the window. She also nagged: "what's the use of these?"

Eulogize and mourn

When Liu Chi heard the news of Yan Lingbin's death, he was almost mad. Because they are nameless, he can't visit Yan Lingbin, who is ill, and he can't say goodbye to her. Now she's gone to heaven. Because of the obstruction of the bustard, he can't go to her to mourn. His grief can't be poured out. He's so depressed that he's heartbroken.

It is said that many poems and essays in memory of Yan Lingbin were thrown out of yicui's building, and Liu Chichi ran to collect them. He carefully picked up the flying papers and collected them in his arms page by page. After Yan Lingbin was buried in the suburbs, Liu Chichi ran to her grave every day and sang all the poems he had found to the lovers underground

Canchun Fubing drink, this night is the injury;

Once the dream is over, the wind will blow for a few days.

Lonely Luan only looks into the mirror, and only Yan lazily returns to Liang;

How can you show your kindness? It's a cup of sour wine.

Liu Chi Chi's song is sad and moving. He sings his infinite grief with his poems. Those who hear it can't help but shed tears. Many of Yan Lingbin's old friends often come to her grave to mourn and stand there quietly listening to Liu Chichi's singing. One of his most popular poems is:

Yesterday, when I was searching for a fairy, I suddenly found my car at the door;

Life must come here, but the way of heaven is hard to discuss.

The guests are all together, who will be the drum basin;

I can't bear the old eyebrow marks on my sleeve.

It is said that when Liu Chi first sang this poem in front of Yan Lingbin's grave, it was a quiet and deserted evening. He was singing and was sleepy. In the dim light, he saw Yan Lingbin standing at the grave and nodding to him frequently. He seemed to like listening to this poem very much. Liu Chichi suddenly woke up. Looking from the grave, only the paper flags fluttered in the cool wind, and no more Yan Lingbin's shadow could be seen. But from then on, he firmly believed that Yan Lingbin must like this poem, so he often began to sing, hoping to call back her Fangying again.

Mourning Poems

When he met with cuoda, he called Tuotuo envoys to sing in the future. Tuotuo still recorded four chapters.
