Life of the characters

According to Zhang bangji's Mo Zhuang man Lu in Song Dynasty, Wu cailuan is a Taoist in Chengdu. But before that, many beautiful legends have been attached to Wu cailuan, so that this versatile female calligrapher has gradually evolved into a fairy in myth. In Tang Pei Chuan's legend Wenxiao, it is said that Wu cailuan lived in seclusion in the west mountain near Nanchang. Later, she came down from the west mountain, met and married Wenxiao, a poor scholar. Wenxiao's family is poor and can't support herself. She shares weal and woe with Wenxiao. Cailuan writes a rhyme book every day to let Wenxiao sell for a living. After ten years of living, each strides a tiger. In the collection of fairy tales adapted by Du Guangting, a Taoist scholar at the end of Tang Dynasty, Wu cailuan is endowed with the mysterious image of a cross tiger female immortal: cailuan is the daughter of Wu Meng who was ordered by Wu Xi'an during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Ding Yi, a man of virtue, gave Wu Meng Tao. Cailuan's teacher is Xiuying, the daughter of Ding Yizhi, and she has a deep sense of Tao. There are Jinling Wenxiao, which is placed in the Hangguan of Hongzhou. August 15 is the day of Xu Zhenjun's rise. The ladies of the temple gather and sing together, which is called "paying the wish". Wen Xiao suddenly saw a Shu, very beautiful, namely Wu cailuan. The song that he trod contains the name of Wenxiao and the words of immortals. The song says, "if you can accompany Zhixian altar, you should have Wenxiao driving cailuan. You should have xiuru and Jiazhang. Qiongtai is not afraid of snow and frost." Wen Xiao felt very strange, so he followed him. When he entered the pine forest, he lived like an official, surrounded by bodyguards. Wen Xiao repeatedly asked him why. Cailuan said, "this should not be lightly discharged. I should suffer for my son." A moment later, an emissary in yellow came and said, "Wu cailuan was banished as a wife of the people because of his selfish desire." Cailuan and Wenxiao became a couple. Later, they all rode tigers into the king of Yue mountain and ascended to heaven. Later, they were known as "the relatives of immortals.". These two beautiful romantic legends praise Wu cailuan's unswerving commitment to love.

personal works

The heart is like a piece of jade pot ice, without any trace of dust invasion, haze but jade pot all regardless, Yaotai straight to the highest level. What is the use of competition? Floating clouds do not hinder the bright moon. Whatever you call, cattle and horses can answer, and you are willing to put fiber into the city of Italy. He lives in a city, in a mountain, in a puppet field, where things are easy to do. - one of Wu cailuan's poems on women's crown
