Tang Wan

Tang Wan

Tang Wan (about 1130-1156), the word Huixian, has been quiet, smart and talented since childhood. She was Lu You's first wife. She fell in love with Lu you. Later, she was separated because of her mother's prejudice. As a result, she wrote down the famous "hairpin Phoenix" (the world is thin). Not long after she wrote down "hairpin Phoenix", Tang Wan, a beautiful woman, died of depression. As a result, many of Lu You's masterpieces in commemoration of beautiful women have been created.

The Lu family used an exquisite Phoenix hairpin as a keepsake to engage with the Tang family. Lu you was 20 years old (Shaoxing 14) and combined with Tang Wan. Unexpectedly, Tang Wan's brilliant talent and intimate relationship with Lu You have aroused Lu You's dissatisfaction (a woman without talent is virtue. Lu You also said when he wrote the epitaph for a woman surnamed sun that talent is not a woman's business). Later, Lu's mother thought that Tang Wan had completely delayed her son's future, so she ordered Lu you to leave Tang Wan. Lu you once built another courtyard to house Tang Wan. When his mother noticed, she ordered Lu you to marry another obedient Wang's daughter. Tang Wan then married Zhao Shicheng, a royal descendant of Tongjun. In 1155 A.D. (the 25th year of Shaoxing), Lu you went to Shenyuan to relax after the failure of the ceremony examination, and met Tang Wan by chance. They were very sad. Lu You sentimentally inscribed on the wall a poem "Chai tou Feng" (red crisp hand). In 1156, Tang Wan came to Shen Yuan again to catch a glimpse of Lu You's inscription. He was so moved that he and Yi Yi wrote Chai tou Feng. In the autumn of the same year, he died of depression.

agree in opinion

Generally speaking, Tang Wan is Lu You's cousin, but actually they are not cousins. The earliest record of chaitoufeng is the sequel to the old age written by Chen Hu of the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, there is the Houcun poetry by Liu Kezhuang. However, neither Chen nor Liu mentioned that Lu and Tang were cousins in their works.

According to historical data, Lu You's grandfather was Tang Jie, a famous official of the Northern Song Dynasty, who lived in the three dynasties of Renzong, Yingzong and Shenzong. All his grandsons were named after the word "heart". There is no way to follow the word "door". Liu Kezhuang's "Houcun Shihua" mentioned: "a certain family changed to a certain official, and Lu had a foreign relationship.". A certain surname is the Tang surname, and a certain officer is Zhao Shicheng, the son of the same county. What he meant was that Tang married Zhao Shicheng instead, and Zhao Shicheng had an in laws relationship with Lu. Lu You's aunt, the Tang family, is the wife of Qian Chen, the descendant of Qian Yu, the king of Wu and Yue, and the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of Lu, the tenth daughter of emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty. Zhao Shicheng is the nephew of the eldest princess of Qin and Lu, and the cousin of Qian Chen, Lu You's uncle. He is of the same generation as Lu you.

After the divorce, Lu You married another woman. The bride's surname was Wang, and she soon gave birth to a child. The Tang family was indignant and felt that they would lose face if they did not marry their daughter. So he married his daughter to Zhao Shicheng, another scholar, who was also famous at that time. This scholar is very kind to Tang Wan. He is a close friend of the Tang family and a literary friend of Lu you. He admires Lu You and sympathizes with Tang Wan. He wants to make her happy.

Cousins

Most later works agree that Lu You and Tang Wan are cousins. However, some scholars have also raised doubts about this. They have examined Baoqing xukuaiji Zhi. Tang Wan's father, Tang Hong, is the son of Tang Xiang, Honglu Shaoqing, a native of Shanyin (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), and Lu's mother is the granddaughter of Tang Jie, a native of Jiangling (now Hubei). Although they share the same surname, they are not related by race and blood. Since Tang Hong and Lu's mother are not brothers and sisters, Lu You and Tang Wan can not be cousins. Although the unofficial history notes have the disadvantages of collecting hearsay and no time for textual research, Liu Kezhuang and others are closely related to Lu You's age after all, and their remarks should be based on the facts. Therefore, up to now, there are some data to prove whether Lu You and Tang Wan are cousins or not. Experts in the investigation of related genealogy found that Lu You's cousins do not have Tang Wan, and some other information also proves this from the side. Therefore, there is a conclusion about their relationship: Lu You and Tang Wan are not cousins.

The origin of chaitoufeng

It is said that one day when Lu you visited Shen Yuan, he happened to meet Tang Wan and his wife in the garden. Both sides are embarrassed. When Tang Wan's husband knew that their relationship was not over, he took the initiative to arrange an opportunity for them to have a private conversation. He said, "your cousin is here. You are relatives. Why don't you get together?" So Tang Wan came to Lu you with a maid and a pot of wine. Each side said what happened after the separation, knowing that the fate of this life has been exhausted, and there is no chance to get back together. Endless sadness. Tang Wan offered Lu you a glass of wine. After drinking, Lu you wrote the song Chai tou Feng in Shen Yuan. I finished writing and left.

After Shen Yuan left, Tang Wan was deeply grieved. On the wall and a song of the same Qupai words.

Emotional experience

Poetry tells my heart

Born in a scholarly family, Lu You is a patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. Tang Wan, the character of Huixian, is quiet and smart since childhood. He is not good at words but understanding. Lu You, who is of the same age, has the same feelings. They spent a good time together as pure teenagers. With the growth of age, a kind of lingering feelings gradually breed in their hearts.

Lu You and Tang Wan are both good at poetry in their youth. They often use poetry to express their feelings. They sing poems to each other, singing in pairs, like a pair of butterflies dancing in the flowers, with happiness and harmony in their eyes. The parents and friends of the two families also thought that they were made in heaven, so the Lu family used a beautiful Phoenix hairpin as a keepsake to make the marriage of the Tang family. As an adult, Tang Wan became the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. From then on, Lu You and Tang Wan were more happy and deeply in love. They were intoxicated in their world and left their fame and fortune out of the sky. The newly married Lu you stayed in the gentle village, and had no time to attend to the exam work and become an official. Lu You's mother, the Tang family, is a dignified and domineering woman. She hoped that her son Lu you would become a successful official in order to shine in the family. Seeing the current situation, she was very dissatisfied. She reprimanded Tang Wan several times as an aunt and even as a mother-in-law, ordering her to attach importance to her husband's future in the imperial examination and to be indifferent to her children. However, Lu and Tang were deeply attached to each other, and their situation had not improved significantly. Lu's mother is disgusted with her daughter-in-law and thinks that Tang Wan is really the broom of the Tang family, which will delay her son's future. So she came to Wuliang nunnery in the suburb and asked the nun to calculate her fate. After some calculation, Miaoyin said, "Tang Wan doesn't agree with Lu you. First, he misleads him, but eventually he will die." Lu's mother was so scared that she forced Lu you to abandon Tang Wan. Lu You's heart is as sad as a knife. He has always been filial. In the face of his determined mother, he has no choice but to cry secretly.

It's hard for a mother to disobey her order, so she divorces her wife

Forced by his mother's fate, Lu You has to promise to send Tang Wan back to her mother's home. In this way, a pair of affectionate mandarin ducks will be broken up by the unreasonable filial piety, secular utilitarianism and mysterious fate. Lu You and Tang Wan are inseparable. They can't bear to go there, so they don't get together. So they quietly build another courtyard to settle Tang Wan. As soon as they have a chance, Lu You goes to meet Tang Wan again. But she couldn't stop the fire, and the shrewd mother Lu soon noticed it. He ordered them to break off their relationship and marry another obedient Wang's daughter for Lu You, which completely cut off the long-lasting love between Lu and Tang.

In desperation, Lu you had to pick up his grievances. Under the supervision of his mother, he emphasized the imperial examination. With his solid knowledge and brilliant literary thinking, he won the appreciation of Lu Fu, the examiner, and was recommended as the leader. But at the same time, it was also hated by Qin Hui, the prime minister. So in the next spring, when the ceremony department held an examination, Lu You's paper was rejected. Lu You's official career suffered wind and rain at the beginning.

Meet again in Shenyuan

When Lu you returned to his hometown, the scenery of his hometown remained the same, and his face was new. Seeing things and thinking of people makes me feel desolate. In order to relieve his melancholy, Lu you lived a dissolute life. On a beautiful spring afternoon, Lu You strolled to the Shen garden of Yuji temple. I met my ex-wife Tang Wan in the garden. In that moment, time and eyes solidified, trance confused, eyes full of ignorance is feeling, is resentment, is thinking, is pity. At this time, Tang Wan was married to Zhao Shicheng, a scholar of the same county. Zhao Shicheng was a descendant of the royal family. He was a generous and affectionate scholar. He showed sincere sympathy and understanding for Tang Wan who had suffered emotional setbacks. Tang wansatin's hurt heart has gradually recovered, and began to sprout new feelings. The unexpected encounter with Lu you at this time will undoubtedly reopen Tang Wan's closed mind, and the old tender feelings and grievances that have been accumulated for a long time will burst out at once. The weak Tang Wan can hardly bear this feeling. In the past few years, though Lu You has been suppressing his yearning for Tang Wan through hard reading and poetry, at this moment, the old feelings buried in his heart can't help gushing out. The four eyes are opposite, with thousands of thoughts and feelings, but I don't know where to start. This time, Tang Wan and her husband, Zhao Shicheng, visited Shen garden together. Zhao Shicheng was waiting for her to eat. After a long period of trance, Tang Wan, who has been the wife of others, finally takes a heavy step. After leaving a deep glance, he walks away, leaving only Lu You in a daze among the flowers.

When the breeze blows, Lu You wakes up. He follows Tang Wan's figure and comes to the willows beside the pond. In the distance, Tang Wan and Zhao Shicheng are eating on the waterside pavilion in the pond. Looking at Tang Wan, he lowered his head and frowned, intentionally or unintentionally stretched out his red sleeves and drank with Zhao Shicheng. This familiar scene can be seen clearly
