After Liu Yong died, why didn't his relatives bury him?

Liu Yong indulged in debauchery for many years, physically and mentally hurt, and died in the home of Zhao Xiangxiang, a famous prostitute. He had neither family nor property, and no one asked him after his death. A group of famous prostitutes, such as Xie and Chen Shishi, saw his talent and infatuation and collected some money for his burial. Xie had planned to marry him and put on heavy mourning clothes for him, and all the existing prostitutes mourned for him. At the funeral, all the prostitutes in Tokyo came and half the city mourned. This is the story of "alloy burial of Liu Qi and prostitutes".

According to the thirty-sixth postscript of Ming Wanli's Zhenjiang County Records, Liu Yong was buried under Gu Beishan until Wang Anli knew Runzhou. However, literary historians have been vague after checking the information. After the Song Dynasty, there were also different opinions. To sum up, it says there are four points:

First, the burial in Xiangyang, Hubei. Song holds this view and hopes that Yu Fang Sheng Lan records that Liu Yong died in Xiangyang. On the day of his death, there was no money at home, and a group of prostitutes were buried outside the south gate. Going to the grave every spring is called "hanging Liu Qi", also called "going to the romantic tomb". It has gradually formed a custom that people who have not joined the "Liudiaohui" and "Romantic Tomb" are afraid to go for an outing in Lian Le Garden Scenic Area. This custom continued until the Song Dynasty moved south. Later generations have a poem "Cloud of Liu Yong's Tomb": Go to the scenic spot of Leyuan Garden to be a prostitute like a cloud, and go to the seven graves of Romantic Willow. It is ridiculous that the gentry are chased one after another, and the pity is not as good as the red dress.

Second, Huashan burial in Zaoyang, Hubei. Song Zeng Chen Da (Minhang) and Chen Yuan lyna hold this view. There is a record in Du Xing magazine: "Qi Qing's tomb is in Huashan, Zaoyang County, and every year Qingming poets gather under it to hang willows." Chen also wrote in "Guang Ji at the Age of Years": "Tibetan monks leave their remains, and prostitutes in western Beijing are buried in Huashan County. Later, in Tomb-Sweeping Day, tourists often drank from the grave, which was called "Hanging Liu Qi". "Zaoyang County Records" records: "The tomb of Liu Yiqing (that is, Liu Yong), a poet of the Song Dynasty, is in Huashan, Xinglong Town". It is said that Liu Yong traveled to Zaoyang in his later years, accompanied by musicians and geisha, and made a living by composing music and lyrics. Later, he died in Xinglong area of Zaoyang, and geisha pooled their money to bury him on Huashan Mountain, 3 kilometers northwest of Xinglong Town.

Third, the death of Jingkou, the burial of Beigushan or Yinshan. Ye Song Meng De (Shao Yun) holds this view. Ye recorded in "Summer Notes": Liu Yong "finally decided Tian as a foreign minister and died and swam in Runzhou Monastery. Wang was punctual and asked for the next time in order to pay for the burial. Where exactly did Wang Ho-fu bury Liu Yong? Ye Mengde, you're welcome. It is said that there is an extinct tomb of Liu Yong at the foot of Gubei Mountain. However, the Records of Dantu County written by Zheng De in Ming Dynasty recorded that Liu Yong's tomb in Tuntianlang was under the Tushan (Dantu), and the Records of Zhenjiang in Wanli not only recorded the same record, but also recorded some contents of Liu Yong's epitaph [1] found under the Tushan. Jiang Zhi, Shunzhi Town, written by Yu Xilu, a Zhenjiang scholar in the Yuan Dynasty, says in seven volumes: "Tushan is at the mouth of Xijiang River in the county, and the custom is to establish Tushan (Yu Xishi:' Tushan Jingkou Jun'). It used to belong to Garlic Mountain, but now it is renamed Yinshan. "However, Beigushan has been very famous since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and people don't call it' Tushan'. It can be seen that the "Earth Mountain" where Liu Yong's tomb is located is the "Yinshan Mountain" (there is still a place called Yinshanmen under the fifty-third slope of Zhenjiang today), which is the part north of Yuntai Mountain, not Beigushan Mountain. Zhao Yanyu, a poet in Zhenjiang in Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem "Pipa Yin" and hung it in front of Liu Yong's tomb. At the beginning of the last paragraph, he said, "The west smells like grass, so it is difficult to ask. My hometown is Qingming. "There are words like' Spring goes to spring, and the grave is destroyed'; In the next paragraph, there is "only in the depths of the earth mountain can the monument of Wang Lang be recorded" (referring to the remains of Liu Yong's tomb). It can be seen that the "Tushan" where Liu Yong's tomb is located is close to the "Western Jin Dynasty" (that is, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty). This word is not only circumstantial evidence that Liu Yong's tomb is under the "earth mountain", but also proof that "earth mountain" is "yin mountain". Ye Mingfeng, a textual research scholar in Qing Dynasty, also supported the theory of burying Zhenjiang in Qiaoxi Magazine. Liu Yong's hometown is Chong 'an, Fujian, and he also supports the theory of burying Zhenjiang. On a rectangular stone next to the bronze statue of Liu Yong in Liu Yong Memorial Hall, the words "Liu Yong's tomb returns to his hometown" are engraved, and there are several lines of inscriptions below: "In September 2004, when the new Liu Yong Memorial Hall in Wuyishan was completed, Liu Yong's tomb was moved here from Beigushan in Zhenjiang. A thousand-year-old wanderer returns to his hometown today, and a pronoun returns to his hometown. "

Fourth, the burial righteousness is right. Wang Qing Shi Zhecun (Yu Yang) holds this view. However, Wang Shizhen mentioned in "Parting Gan Yu Hua": "According to legend, he died in Jingkou and was buried by the king. Today, Yizheng cactus has Liu's tomb, but it is buried in Runzhou. " Yizheng was called Zhou Zhen in ancient times, and the tomb of Liu is in Yizheng cactus. Wang Shizhen once again mentioned in "Zhou Zhen quatrains": "The spring scenery in Jiangxiang is the most pitiful, and cold food is pure and wants to ban smoking. Who is weeping willow wasteland? " Poetry and prose confirm each other, so they can't be wrong. However, some people suspect that there is no cactus in Yizheng suburb. I wonder what is the basis of Wang Shizhen's Tomb of the Willow in the Cactus? In the Ming Dynasty, "No Talk on the Records of Yizhen County, Qin Long" contained: "Liu Yiqing's Tomb is near Xupu County". In the Qing Dynasty, it was also recorded in the Tomb of Yangzhou Prefecture Records in Jiaqing: "The tomb of Liu Yiqing, the foreign minister of wasteland, is near Xupu, Xiqili, Yizheng County". Accordingly, Liu Yong's tomb is more credible in Yizheng Xupu.

Because there was no biography of Liu Yong in the official history of the Song Dynasty, there was no record of Liu Yong in the collection of literati poems at that time, and even the date of birth and death of Liu Yong was inconclusive. Now the stories about his burial place are all from the notes of Song people and Qing people, which are recorded sporadically, and the rumors are different, which is even more difficult to draw a conclusion. This is also the poet's sorrow! But change the way of thinking: this is also the honor of the poet, so that people in more places can remember him and care about him! Luck and misfortune are all in one thought!
