Lu You was a famous poet and lyricist in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was an intelligent and diligent scholar since his childhood, and he studied under such literary greats as Mao Dezhao, Han Youkong and Lu Yangyuan, and was able to write poems at the age of twelve. At the age of twelve, he was able to write poems and essays. He was also awarded the position of Deng Shi Lang due to the shade of his ancestors.
At the age of twenty, under the order of his parents, Lu You married his cousin Tang Yuan. In terms of social status, the two were a good match for each other. Before the marriage of Lu You and Tang Yuan, Lu You studied twice at his uncle’s (Tang Yuan’s father) home, and the two were originally childhood friends, and after the marriage, they were very happy with each other.
Such a happy marriage should not have any problems. However, the mother-in-law has never been a vegetarian, otherwise how to achieve a sad love story?
Lu You’s mother, Tang Yuan’s mother-in-law is a loving mother, but also a strict mother. Such an excellent son, literary excellence, a talent, although no throne can be given to the next generation to inherit, but the choice of daughter-in-law standards must not be lowered. Originally, Tang Wan met this standard.
But three years after the marriage, Tang Wan still did not give birth to the crown prince oh no, is the child, which makes Lu mother heart very dissatisfied. Not only that, Lu’s mother originally thought, Lu You is not young, should first start a family, after the family can concentrate on having a son to take the imperial examinations double-pronged, by then the world (fame) has, offspring (ancient how much attention to the offspring we all know) also have, would not it be beautiful.
But the miscalculation, after the wedding Lu You not only did not restrain the mind, focus on reading, but is a beauty in the hands, from then on the king does not morning, become more wild than before the wedding. All day long, he stayed in the room and Tang Wan and Tang Wan to exchange poems, like an adult began to disobey his mother’s words, leaving the imperial examinations completely behind.
How can this be? Love is the biggest misconduct! Lu You his parents believe that his only function in this life is to win the imperial examinations to shine the Lu family, to have a few more children for them to then cultivate. What is the use of love between two young people? It’s not a good idea!
The man who is a mama’s boy has to be a mama’s boy, and even if he is not a mama’s boy, he has to be forced to become a mama’s boy. Lu You did not dare to oppose his mother’s order, but he could not bear to hurt Tang Yuan, so he had to repair the stacks openly and hide her in a hut in the countryside. Unfortunately, ginger is still old and hot, this kind of elementary school cheating routine was soon detected, Lu’s mother took it upon herself to send Tang Wan home.
Tang Wan’s father was furious, my daughter married to a small hereditary title family with no real power, it is already considered a dowry, how dare you withdraw from the marriage? Tang Wan’s father, who was not convinced, married Tang Wan to Zhao Shicheng, a member of the royal family.
After that, Lu You’s mother was also upset: my son has a throne waiting for you to inherit, what’s so great about marrying a royal family clan! She also arranged a marriage for Lu You. This set-up is very much like the southeast flight of the peacock, but unfortunately these two did not martyr.
The next year, Lu You’s new wife gave birth to a son. After three years, two more were added. Almost a year to bear a fruit, the seed “stable” very much.
Even so, Lu You was still “in love” with Tang Yuan. He was 31 years old when Lu You visited Shen Yuan in late spring and met Tang Yuan by chance, which aroused his undying love in his heart and wrote the legendary “Hairpin Head Phoenix”.
The red crispy hands, yellow vine wine, full of spring color of the palace wall willow. The East wind is bad, the love is thin, a heart of sorrow, a few years away. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
The spring is like the old days, people are thin and empty, the tears are red and moist. The peach blossoms have fallen and the pond is idle. The mountain alliance still exists, but it is difficult to entrust a brocade letter. Mo, mo, mo!
This poem, the person who wrote it may not be able to remember how much, look at the poem is really believed.
Tang Yuan, who saw the poem, was reminded of numerous sad things. She was forced to separate from her beloved due to her inability to bear children, and then remarried to Zhao Shicheng, a royal relative, with the reputation of being an abandoned woman. Although Zhao Shicheng loved her, the status between them was too unbalanced, so how could such an intelligent woman be happy? Moreover, Lu You’s love poem was known to everyone, so how could Tang Yuan, who was already a woman, feel embarrassed?
All these sorrows had been suppressed, but now they were all raised, how could they be suppressed again? This is how a beautiful woman of her generation perished.
Should I be moved?
After Lu You lost Tang Yuan, his children and grandchildren are very nourishing, but it is the male second Zhao Shicheng who does not appear often. Zhao Shicheng, as the son of Zhao Zhongzhi, the grandson of Emperor Taizong of Song, and the nephew of the tenth daughter of Emperor Renzong of Song, the Grand Princess of Qin and Lu, has a distinguished family. When he wanted to marry Tang Wan, many people in the family opposed, but he just married Tang Wan back, but also the scenery of the big event. After Tang Wan’s death, he never married again.
The literati always touted his ruthlessness as amorous. Time has changed, hundreds of years later, his negative heart has been forgotten, only this deep love to attract the eyes of countless viewers, and won countless praise.
