Chapter 358 I take care of my sister in society

"What we are going to talk about next is Cai Wenji. Cai Wenji's name is Yan, and her original name is Zhaoji. Because she wanted to avoid the name of Jin Emperor Sima Zhao, she changed her name to Wenji. She is the daughter of Cai Yong, a great literary figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty. She is proficient in astronomy and mathematics, and can write He is proficient in articles, can compose poems and poems, is very sharp-tongued and eloquent, and is also a musical genius."

"I feel like this one is also a hexagonal warrior."

"Talented women seem to have a hard life, and so does Cai Wenji."

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation was turbulent. Due to the invasion of the Huns, Cai Wenji was captured by the Huns and married to King Zuoxian. She suffered a painful life in a foreign land. Twelve years later, Cao Cao unified the north and redeemed Cai Wenji with a lot of money. But she had already The Xiongnu gave birth to two sons, and after they returned, they still suffered from the separation of mother and son."

"Cai Wenji completed four hundred volumes of the continuation of the Hanshu in her lifetime, filling in the missing gaps in the Hanshu, and leaving behind the soul-stirring eighteen pieces of Hujia. She also wrote the first autobiographical five-character long narrative poem of grief and indignation."

Wuyou was flipping through the information while talking, and at the same time turned on the computer and found some film and television clips about Cai Wenji to show everyone.

After Cai Wenji finished telling her story, she rested for a while before continuing: "The next person is Ban Zhao. The three Ban Zhao brothers and sisters are very powerful. Her brother is the Ban Chao we talked about before."

"Ban Zhao was a versatile scholar and was extremely proficient in astronomy. She inherited her brother's legacy and independently completed the List of Hundred Officials and Officials, as well as the Sixth Astronomical Chronicle, making the Han Dynasty complete."

"Because she was talented in learning and moral, she was often called into the palace to teach the queen and concubines, so people called her Cao Jia Jia."

"Here, we would like to tell Ban Zhao that it is okay to write other books, but it is better not to write the female commandments."

"We don't know what Ban Zhao was thinking when he wrote the Women's Commandments, but we do know that the whole chapter of the Women's Commandments revolves around the superiority of men and the inferiority of women. It is a derogation of women and a shackle that women wear on themselves. By the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Neo-Confucianism was developed. At that time, women's commandments were praised and their status was elevated. After the Ming Dynasty, they became the basis for persecuting women."

"In modern times, many people have criticized the Women's Commandment, believing that the three obediences and four virtues in it obliterate women's independent personality. It is the embodiment of evil ethics and cannibalistic feudal system."

"No one criticizes Ban Zhao's achievements in the field of history. However, in modern times, many people do not agree with the book Women's Commandments, especially women, who have begun to criticize it."

"So, everyone in the class, why don't we just write it?"

Under the canopy

Ban Zhao, who was entering the palace to visit Deng Sui, changed his expression slightly.

"how come?"

Deng Sui looked at her: "Teacher, we have watched many live broadcasts. Women in later generations are indeed more free. People in later generations pay attention to the independence of personality. They no longer agree with the concept and behavior of sacrificing themselves for the clan. They pay attention to It’s about individual feelings, so it’s natural for the teacher’s female admonishment to be criticized.”

Ban Zhao lowered his head and thought.

After a long time, he said: "Well, if many women suffer because of my women's commandments, I won't write it."

Deng Sui held Ban Zhao's hand: "I understand what the teacher means. The teacher wrote the women's commandment to secretly advise the princes in the court, to limit the exclusive power of the relatives, and to have a motherly heart for your daughter."

The Female Commandments is a book written by Ban Zhao to his daughter. He gave it to her before she got married to teach her what to do after getting married. This book is a reflection of the mother's deep love and responsibility for her daughter.

Ban Zhao also didn't expect that future generations would praise female admonishment to such an extent.

"The teacher's commandments for women are beneficial to men in many aspects, so they naturally respect them... If you ask me, I still need to write these commandments for women, but they need to be changed. They no longer only teach women to be weak, but to teach women to be strong and self-reliant."

Ban Zhao's eyes gradually changed, and there were stars twinkling in her eyes. "Okay, since the fairy said that the female commandments I wrote are shackles that bind women, then I will break these shackles myself."

After Wuyou finished telling Ban Zhao, he said with a smile: "We have told the story of Shangguan Wan'er, so I won't go into details here. The person we are talking about next is Su Hui. Many people may not know her, but Mentioning Xuanji Tu, many people should know who this person is."

"Su Hui was one of the three most talented women in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the author of a collection of palindrome poems."

"Su Hui's husband, Dou Tao, was framed and sent to Liusha. Before they parted, he and Su Hui vowed to be inseparable and parted in tears. Su Hui's heart remained unchanged even after death, but the husband's heart could change. Dou Tao soon arrived at Liusha. Just don't marry the bride. After Su Hui found out, she wrote poems about her longing, sadness, anger, loneliness and resentment and woven them into eight-inch pieces of brocade. This brocade was named Xuanji Picture."

"The Xuanji Picture is an eight-inch square handkerchief. The handkerchief has twenty-nine rows and twenty-nine columns, a total of 841 characters. These characters can be turned into poems by rotating up and down, vertically and horizontally, in reverse order, and can form three, four, and four. There are a total of 7,958 poems of five, six and seven characters, which can be said to be a masterpiece of genius."

"In addition to Xuanji Pictures, Su Hui also wrote more than 5,000 poems, but many of them have been lost and no one has compiled them."

"Like Zhuo Wenjun, Su Hui's talent saved her husband."

"After reading the poem on Xuanji's picture, Dou Tao was extremely ashamed and regretful. He sent his bride away and welcomed Su Hui back. The couple reconciled as before."

Wuyou couldn't help but sigh again: "Such a short line in history seems to have a happy ending, but it contains the bitterness of a woman, as well as the sorrow and resentment after the love is shattered, what to say and It’s as good as ever, how can a broken mirror be made whole again?”

"Okay, let's speed up and talk about a few more talented women."

"Xue Tao, a female poet in the Tang Dynasty, made a kind of pink paper to write poems, which was named Xue Tao Jian. She also wrote many poems, which were famous for her clear words and beautiful sentences, and some of them were thoughtful and caring about reality. works, which are rare.”

"Yu Xuanji was also a talented woman in the Tang Dynasty. She could write poems at the age of seven. When she was eleven or twelve, her poems were circulated in Chang'an, and she was praised as a poetic child by people at the time."

"But such a talented woman couldn't stand the relationship and was executed for murder, ending her miserable life."

Wuyou found some stories about Yu Xuanji and played them to everyone.

"So, whenever you can't believe a man's words, don't put all your hopes on men. There is a saying in future generations. If you can believe a man's words, a sow can climb a tree. Girls in future generations They also often say that they feel sorry for a man who will be unlucky for the rest of his life... So, Yu Xuanji, we want to be more open-minded. This man is not good, so just throw him away. With our looks and talents, the next one will be even better."

"There are many things that a person can do in this life. Love between a man and a woman can only account for a small part of life. It's the icing on the cake, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. We sisters are invincible, and in the end it harms others and ourselves."

When Wuyou said this, he stood up and pointed at himself and said: "Look at me, I'm already in my twenties. I don't have a man here, but I'm living a pretty good life. Sisters, listen to me. , you should cherish yourself at all times.”

After finishing the persuasion, Wuyou sat down and laughed: "The person we are going to talk about next is really a powerful person. She has lived a very free and easy life. She does whatever others don't agree with, and she doesn't suffer for anyone else."

Her words really aroused everyone's curiosity.

Really...

Some of the talented women mentioned earlier are really talented, but they are also really in love. Many talented women live their lives... living around men, as if they can't survive without men.

Although the love story sounds quite poignant, it is always disappointing.

"Who is this? She is the famous Li Qingzhao. The young girls of later generations like her very much. They often say that Sister Zhao is beautiful and wild. We even gave her the nickname Li Qingzhao."
