Zhu Shuzhen

Zhu Shuzhen

Zhu Shuzhen (about 1135-1180), a hermit, was born in Qiantang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province) and was named Haining in the middle of Zhejiang Province in Siku Quanshu. His ancestral home is Shezhou, Anhui Province. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, she was living and is said to be Zhu Xi's niece.

Zhu Shuzhen was born in an official family. Her father was an official in the west of Zhejiang Province. You Yinghui has a broad knowledge of classics and history, is good at writing and painting, and is proficient in rhythm, especially in poetry. She is known as a talented woman.

After Zhu Shuzhen passed away, her parents burned her manuscripts. The rest of his life can not be examined, and there is no final conclusion. His works include "heartbroken Ci" and "collection of heartbroken poems", which were handed down from generation to generation.

Life of the characters

He came from an official family

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Qiantang (today's Hangzhou) in Zhejiang Province had a large garden in the south of the city. The garden was divided into East and west gardens. Among the two gardens, there were Guitang, Shuige, Xilou, Xueji, Yilu Pavilion, etc. This garden belongs to the Zhu family, who has been an official for generations. Zhu Shuzhen, the miss of the Zhu family, lives a carefree life in it all day long. "It's cool to stay in the west of Yuehua building, and the wind blows through the lotus fragrance." "I have nothing to do with the fence alone, and I can read the incomplete books in the cool water and wind." At a young age, Zhu Shuzhen knew poetry, calligraphy and painting, and was familiar with music. She also helped her father Zhu Yanling clean up antiques.

Zhu Shuzhen spent her childhood happily. She gradually became sensible and had her own lover. The warm sunshine and the warm spring breeze gently caress the willows; the flowers in the garden, the quiet path, the fragrance of flowers, the scenery of spring is so charming! But soon the lover left her. From then on, although she was at home, her heart was thousands of miles away. After the Qingming Festival, the clouds are shrouded in the gorgeous building. Zhu Shuzhen in the building can't stop her thoughts when she looks back on her early joy.

When I woke up from my afternoon nap that day, the warbler's chirp came from outside the window. It was so beautiful. I don't know whether the bird was in the shadow of the green poplar, next to the crabapple, or on the branch of the red apricot? She tried to track down the bird's call, and suddenly remembered that it was also this time of year. In such an environment, the two of them were in love with each other, and the bird kept singing. How happy she was then, she said: "YingYing and Yanyan stop laughing and try to get to know each other with Shanqi.". Gradually, a wisp of sadness of separation with the bird's call constantly floated into the window, full of small buildings, wrapped Zhu Shuzhen tightly, soaked her heart.

Another year has passed, and Zhu Shuzhen's yearning is getting deeper and deeper. She thinks of her lover who is far away from home. Everything she sees makes her worried. She tries every means to get rid of this kind of distress. "She has twelve years of work to spare," but "worries come from heaven.". The sorrow of separation gradually deepened. First, it was "the twelve songs of dying buildings, one song of dying, one song of sorrow". Later, it was: "ten thousand sceneries can't be blown into the curtain, but the general heart can't do all kinds of worries", "singing the window and listening to the banana rain at night, ten thousand slanting worries hidden in a leaf." From a song of sorrow to all kinds of sorrow to ten thousand oblique sorrow, it is "pour out all kinds of hatred, turn into words of sorrow." Zhu Shuzhen has gone from missing to grieving to resenting.

When it's time for spring cold, Zhu Shuzhen drinks alone in the garden. But she can't help but think of the happy scenes in the past. She gradually falls asleep on the table. Suddenly, she sees her lover who is yearning for so much. They are so happy to meet each other. They are silent. They are about to embrace each other Then, she awoke helplessly. She was upset and melancholy. She understood that "it's easy to see in heaven, but it's hard to see in Iraq." By this time, Zhu Shuzhen was in her early twenties.

Unhappy marriage

Early marriage was popular in the past. After 20 years old, she was an old girl. Her father was an official and her mother was snobbish. She forced Zhu Shuzhen to marry a local official. At this time, Zhu Shuzhen's heart was dead. She married a common official hastily. At the beginning, she also held great hope for her husband, hoping that he would have great ambition. She wrote many poems to encourage him: "don't carve a piece of jade, the trickle will eventually accumulate into a deep pool.". "Hong pigeon feather instrument when raising, Feiteng sooner or later to see the sky." Unfortunately, her husband had no ambition. He was working in Wu, Yue, Jing and Chu provinces to collect money. At first, he worked as an official, and Zhu Shuzhen followed him. However, he gradually showed his impatience. This feeling is reflected in her "tears in spring". In the poem "spring day with tears", it is written that the East and the West are not free, and the river flows thousands of miles; there is no letter from the wild goose, and the cuckoo is sad to see off the guests. On the bird song sky beauty, flowers willow shadow diffuse Ying eyes; tall buildings melancholy with hurdles for a long time, heart by white clouds South floating. Zhu Shuzhen also once blamed herself. She felt that she was not a woman. She should take good care of the housework and serve her husband. But her husband really made her sad. A kind of inertia has slowly penetrated into his skin during his official career, making him feel very comfortable doing nothing,

He spent his spare time in a brothel. There are four types of prostitutes in the Song Dynasty: one is the government prostitutes directly controlled by the government, including Geisha in the Northern Song Dynasty's brothels and prostitutes managed by the local governments. Some are mainly entertainment services, some are mainly sexual services. The second is the voice prostitutes owned by bureaucrats and the rich, who serve their masters and friends with their skills or color. Third, geisha in the cultural market mainly serve the audience with their skills and sometimes undertake some official duties. There are also geisha who engage in sexual services. Fourth, pure commercial commercial prostitutes, some mainly accompany wine, some mainly prostitution. However, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the two.

Zhu Shuzhen's husband is only a small official, he is mainly mixed in commercial prostitutes, sometimes he even took prostitutes home. One day, her husband came home drunk again and threw up his bedroom like a pig in bed. Later, her husband even beat her. She was so sad that she couldn't bear it. She had to separate from her husband.

Living in Bianjing

Zhu Shuzhen is a famous talented woman. At that time, Wei dangzheng, the wife of prime minister Zeng Bu, lived in the capital Bianjing. She also lived a lonely life. She was also a woman who was good at writing lyrics. She was willing to hand over Zhu Shuzhen to Bianjing and recited poems and lyrics from afar. She often had a feast, laughed, sang and danced. She became a guest of Zeng Bu's wife Wei Huan and also met some noble ladies She lived a colorful life, but she couldn't get rid of the feeling of loss

In the first spring of Beijing, singing and dancing are really outstanding. I only worry that the dawn people are scattered and turn into a cloud in Wushan.

But Bianjing's activities broadened her vision of life after all. In this period of life, she met the people she liked, just like a withered tree in spring. She regained the glory of life. In the yellow plum season with smoke and dew, she came to the lake to meet her lover and play together. In the misty rain, they strolled hand in hand and enjoyed the lotus in the lake. They came to a very quiet place, sat down, whispered and loved each other. She was tender and charming. She could no longer restrain the fire of love in her heart. She threw herself into her lover's arms and let him go Holding, kneading, in silence, infatuated with the happiness of a beautiful human relationship. "Yaojiao is not afraid of guessing, but sleeps with her clothes." At this time, she especially cherishes the beautiful spring light. She hopes that the myriads of Chuiyang outside the building will tie the spring light. Even if spring must go back, if it can't stay, she will follow spring because of the wind to see where spring will go. But spring will leave. When spring is deep, green mountains and rivers are all over, in the drizzling rain water, listen to the cry of the cuckoo. At this time, she asks spring with wine that spring won't come back When she answered, what she left behind was sadness and loss. At that time, Zhu Shuzhen was immersed in a deep love affair and sighed about the shortness of life and the perishability of youth.

Only men are allowed to have sex with prostitutes. Although women are in pursuit of pure love, as long as they don't act according to feudal ethics, people will curse them. Some people regard Zhu Shuzhen's life in Bianjing as a "trip to Sangpu", and even belittle her as a "Maiden".

My hometown

Zhu Shuzhen is immersed in late love, but Jin Bing conquers Bianjing. Song Huizong and song qinzong are captured. She is separated from her lover in the war. She goes back to her mother's home in Qiantang, Zhejiang Province. Her parents think that her daughter has lost her family's face and burned all her poems. Today, there are not a hundred left. Some people have compiled it, which is called heartbroken collection .

After returning to her hometown, she is still looking forward to finding her sweetheart. As she grows older, she increasingly feels the impermanence and emptiness of human affairs. Zhu Shuzhen said, "when it comes to spring, I sit down at the bottom of the curtain. When people ask about it, they say," I can't bear to see the spring. " It's the same with those who have broken their intestines. " This is the real record of people at that time.

She wrote in Magnolia Chunyuan:

"To walk alone, to sit alone, to sing alone, to drink alone, to lie alone. Standing up, I feel sad, but I feel cold in spring. Who can see the situation, tears said that no half of the residual makeup. Worry about disease phase is still, pick out the cold lamp dream

Finally, she died in sadness and loneliness, and people don't know in which year she died.
