There are two villages at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain in Zhejiang Province, which are divided into east and west villages. Most people in the village are surnamed Shi, and Shi Yiguang lives in the West Village, so everyone calls him Shi. Shi often washes gauze with his friends by the river. At that time, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, wanted to confuse Fu Cha with beautiful women and others, including stone.

In order to see the beauty of the stone, many people rushed to the post office in the suburbs to meet them, so that the road was crowded with people. At that time, there was a rumor that the doctor in charge of recruiting scholars ordered that anyone who wanted to see beautiful women had to pay a penny first. So a cash box was set up in the post office to collect money, and it was full in an instant. After staying in the posthouse for three days, the money was countless, and it was shipped back to Vietnam to support the national finance.

Gou Jian, King of Yue, ordered musicians and teachers to sing and dance. After three years, someone asked me to dedicate the posthumous sacrifice to the king of Wu. When Dr. Fan saw the King of Wu, he bowed down and said, "Gou Jian, a thief and minister in the East China Sea, feels his gratitude. He searched all over the country and found a good singer and dancer for the mopping-up battle. " But Wu Zixu suggested, "I heard that Xia's death was a blessing, Yin's death was a blessing for da ji, and Zhou's death was a blessing. If it is a beautiful woman, the matter of national subjugation is also unacceptable to the king. "

The king of Wu didn't listen to his advice, so he immediately took the stone away, and built the Spring Night Palace in Gusutai, the Guanwa Palace on Lingyan Mountain, and a big pool for him to play with. Fu Cha likes stones very much. His method is to imitate the princess's style and ostentation. Since Fu Cha had Xi's family, he no longer cared about state affairs, so Gou Jian had enough time to recuperate and destroy Wu.

There are two theories about the ending of history:

* After the destruction of the State of Wu, Mrs. Gou Jian saw that the stone was beautiful and was afraid that Gou Jian would have a crush on her. The people of the State of Wu thought that the stone was an evil ghost that would bring disaster to the country and the people, so they put her in a leather bag and sank her to the bottom of the river. Later, some clams were found in the river. People say this is the tongue of stone, so clams are also called the tongue of stone.

Another way of saying it is to fall in love. After the downfall of the State of Wu, Fan Li quietly left at night without being rewarded by the King of Yue. From then on, I avoided Taihu Lake and spent the rest of my life happily.

Today, in Zhuji City, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province (formerly known as Jiyang County), there are still relics such as the Stone Temple and the gate of the ancient capital of Yue.

West Lake is also called Xizi Lake. Because Su Dongpo, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote a seven-character quatrain about the West Lake:

The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy.

If the West Lake is compared to the West Lake, heavy makeup and light makeup are always appropriate.

[Editor] Sink fish and fall wild goose

A popular misunderstanding is that the so-called "sinking fish means falling wild geese, closing the moon and putting flowers to shame", and sinking fish means beauty. Legend has it that she danced in the Puyang River in the ancient state of Yue. When the fish in the water saw her, they all sank to the bottom of the river in surprise.

In fact, it is an idiom, which is usually thought to come from Zhuangzi's Theory of Everything: "Mao Cong and Li Ji, people are beautiful, fish see deep, birds see high, and elk see sudden." Who knows the true face of the world? " It means animals can't feel the beauty of people.

Some people think that the Song Dynasty sang the poem "Huan Sha Pian" in the Tang Dynasty: "The bird is surprised as a pineapple, and the fish is afraid of the lotus." It is the origin of this idiom, so I think that sinking fish represents beauty.

[Editor] Dong Shi is effective

It is also an example for the boss and the ugly girl.

Xi Shi frowned because of a heart attack. Dong Shi, an ugly girl in Tongli, felt beautiful after seeing it, so she frowned like Xi Shi, but she was even uglier. As a result, people in the same room either hide or stay at home. The metaphor in Zhuangzi is that future generations do not measure their own conditions, but blindly imitate others, and the result is counterproductive.

"The 30th Story of a Dream of Red Mansions": Baoyu thought: Is this a silly girl, like a raised eyebrow burying flowers? Because he sighed to himself: if flowers are really buried, they can be said to be effective, not only not novel, but also disgusting!

How old was Zhao Jun when he entered the palace? He was not allowed to see the royal family, and he accumulated sadness and resentment. He asked the court to order him to do it. The emperor told Xie Han to leave the meeting and called five women to perform. Zhaojun is decorated with wealth and splendor, Guangming Han Palace, Gu Jingpei back, moved to the left and right.

Legend has it that when Zhao Jun went to the fortress, Wang Zhaojun was on his way to the desert, feeling sad about his fate, and he was far away from home, and suddenly he was bored, so he played the Song of Capture.

Therefore, the "wild goose" in "Falling Fish and Wild Goose" got its name.

Interpretation 1: the official name of the maid-in-waiting official after the Han Dynasty (the position is lower than that of concubines).

Interpretation 2: One of the characters in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is no record about the story of Diusim in the official history, only that Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo were having an affair with maids.

In the biography of the Three Kingdoms, it is mentioned that "Zhuo often keeps Lu Bu in the pavilion, and Lu Bu is having an affair with Zhuo's maid-in-waiting, fearing being found out, and his heart is uneasy", but the maid-in-waiting did not specify the name of the story of Dixin. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, she is the adopted daughter of Stuart Wangyun, beautiful and moving. When Fang was fifteen, he learned that Wang Yun was deeply helpless about Dong Zhuo's chaotic politics, so he gave his life to deal with rebels and thieves. The story of diusim later provoked Dong Zhuo's adopted son Lu Bu to assassinate Dong Zhuo. Since then, the story of Diusim has disappeared in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Some unofficial history said that the story of Diesim was Guan Yu's concubine, and the script of folk opera extended the story after the story of Diesim. In the story of Guan Yu's release of diusim, diusim's story was released by Guan Yu and finally disappeared. In Guan Yu's The Story of Diesim, he borrowed Jiang Taigong's masked beheading of da ji as a blueprint, revealing the disaster of beauty. Guan Yu was afraid that his beautiful appearance would bring chaos to the world.

It is worth mentioning that the story of Diusim is the only fiction among the four beauties in ancient China (the other three are Wang Zhaojun and Wang Zhaojun), which reflects the great influence of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, scholar Zhou found records about The Story Of Diu Sim in Volume 33 of Astrology and Han Shu Tongzhi. Hanshu records: "Before Cao Cao succeeded, he lured Dong Zhuo into The Story Of Diu Sim to confuse the monarch." However, A Brief History of Hanshu has been lost. Scholar Meng Fanren textual research: The story of Diesim, surnamed Ren, was born in Muer Village, Jiuyuan County, Bingzhou County. /kloc-at the age of 0/5, he was elected to the palace to take charge of the crown of the story of diusim (the hat of the attendants of the Han dynasty) worn by courtiers and changed his name to the story of diusim. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the court storm suddenly broke out, and the story of Diusim went out of the palace and was adopted by Stuart Wang Yun. Textual research: Diusim's hometown is Mu Zhi Village, three kilometers southeast of Xinzhou City, on the road from Taiyuan or Xinzhou to Wang Yudong.

Yang Guifei (the first day of June in the seventh year of Kaiyuan-July 15th in the fifteenth year of Tianbao) (7 19-756 AD), whose real name is Yuhuan, is so real.

[Editor] Life

Yang Yuhuan was born in Yongle period of Manchuria (now Yongji, Shaanxi). His ancestral home is Hongnong Huayin, and his father is Yang Xuanyan, the manager of Zhou Shu. She lost her father at the age of 10 and was adopted by her uncle Yang Xuangui. 16 years old (23rd year of Kaiyuan) (AD 733) married Li Mao, son of Xuanzong (son of Wu Huifei). Later, eunuch Gao Lishi once took Yang Yuhuan into the hot spring palace and met Xuanzong. Xuanzong fell in love with her at first sight. But because she was Weng's daughter-in-law, Xuanzong first arranged for her to become a monk and changed her name to Taizhen Palace. It was not until the Tianbao period (AD 745) five years later that she was demoted to a laity and canonized as a imperial concubine. At this time, Yang Yuhuan was 27 years old, while Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was 6 1 year old. Bai Juyi described her as "as long as she turned her head and smiled, there would be hundreds of spells, and the sixth house of makeup would go up in smoke."

Yang Guifei is in favor and rich. Many people were awarded official positions or awards: her eldest sister was named Mrs. Korea, her third sister was named Mrs. Guo and her eighth sister was named Mrs. Qin. His cousin Yang likes gambling, but he also makes officials enter the court and control the state affairs. After that, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty became more addicted to debauchery and became more corrupt politically. The Yang family's arrogance and arbitrariness made the ruling and opposition parties full of great resentment against them.

In the 14th year of Tianbao (AD 755), Fanyang, Pinglu and Hedong rebelled in An Lushan in the name of anti-Yang, and the soldiers directed at Chang 'an. The following year, when Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled to Shu with Yang Guifei and Yang, and passed the Ant Post Station (now the west of Xingping, Shaanxi), the accompanying imperial generals unanimously demanded the execution of Yang Guifei and Yang. Tang Xuanzong said, loyal to the country, the imperial concubine is not guilty. He wanted to pardon Yang Yuhuan, but the imperial guards all thought the imperial concubine was the beauty of the country. The Anshi rebellion was caused by the imperial concubine, so it is difficult to comfort and boost morale without punishing her. After accepting Gao Lishi's suggestion, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had to grant Yang Guifei the death penalty to protect himself. This is the allusion in Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow": "A soldier in the army will be embarrassed if he doesn't move." In the end, Yang Guifei was given a white silk. At the age of 38, she hanged herself under a pear tree in a Buddhist temple, while Yang died by the sword of the mutinous soldiers. After the Anshi Rebellion was put down, Xuanzong returned to the palace and sent someone to look for Yang Guifei's body, but he didn't find it.

Affectionate Tang Emperor seeks a unique beauty.

I stayed on the throne for many years, looking for it, but I never found it.

Until a child of Yang's family, he hardly grew up.

However, given such a beautiful fate, how could she not be known?

Only their two hearts know the oath.

In the hall of eternal life, on the seventh day of July.

In heaven, I hope to be a lovebird.

Growing together on the earth, two branches of a tree.

Heaven and earth may not last forever.
