Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Eternal beauty, Diao Chan has no place to find

Diao Chan is known as one of the four beauties in ancient China, but she is nowhere to be found in historical records, and her image is entirely fictional in literary works.During the Three Kingdoms period, there were quite a few beauties who looked like real people. They were placed in the patriarchal society, especially in the turbulent times, and they could hardly escape the predestined fate of beauties, prey, gifts, personal belongings, substitutes, and discarded objects.But they are also like mirrors, showing some men, and even some of the real faces of the whole society that are often covered up.

In ancient China, there were four pictures of beauties: Xishi Huansha, Zhaojun went out of the fortress, Diao Chan worshiped the moon, and the imperial concubine was drunk.People are shown by pictures, Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, and Concubine Yang are superior to other beauties in the past, and they are also known as the four beauties of ancient China.Among them, Xishi was born in Zhuluo (now Zhujinan, Zhejiang Province) in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is recorded in "Wuyue Chunqiu Goujian Conspiracy Biography" and "Yue Jueshu" and other historical books; ) people, "Hanshu·Yuandi Ji", "Hanshu·Xiongnu Biography", "Hanshu·Southern Huns Biography" and other historical books, as well as "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" are also recorded; Born in Yongle, Puzhou, Tang Dynasty (now Yongji, Shanxi Province), both the new and old "Book of Tang" are recorded in "Biography of Empress and Concubine", even the year of birth 719 and the year of death 756 can be claimed.Only Diaochan is different. No matter whether it is "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" or "Three Kingdoms", her name cannot be found.In today's China, some people claim that she is from Mizhi in northern Shaanxi, referring to her as the ancestor of "Auntie Mizhi". I don't know what kind of DNA test has been done.It is very likely that, just as some people "researched" Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian in the past few years, there are indeed real traces of such people, and it comes from the so-called innovative thinking of developing the tourism economy.

Diao Chan is actually a fictional image of a beautiful woman in a literary work.From the widespread circulation of the stories of the Three Kingdoms in the Tang Dynasty, to the love of saying "three points" by Pinghua artists in the Song Dynasty, and the popularity of the Three Kingdoms opera in the Yuan Dynasty, folk reports and literary processing have become more and more colorful.During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Yuan Dynasty (1321-1323), the Yu family of Xin'an published "Quanxiang Sanguozhi Pinghua", and Diaochan appeared for the first time in ancient times. Diaochan in "Pinghua" is surnamed Ren, who was originally Lu Bu's wife, and the husband and wife have been separated for many years.She wandered into Wang Yun's mansion, burning incense in the back garden to pray for an early return home. When the husband and wife were reunited, she was accidentally bumped into by Wang Yun.Wang Yun gave Diaochan a lot of gold, pearls and satin, promised to let her meet Lv Bu, but gave her to Dong Zhuo.Two days later, Lv Bu went to see Dong Zhuo and saw Diao Chan. Then he realized that Dong Zhuo's new wife was actually his own wife, so while Dong Zhuo was drunk and lying in the mud, he stabbed the old thief to death with his sword.Later, the Yuan drama "Lianhuanji" was published. Diaochan was the daughter of Ren Ang, a native of Muer Village in Xinzhou (now Xinxian County, Shanxi Province), with a small character of Hongchang. It's called Diaochan.Emperor Ling bestowed Diaochan to General Ding Yuan, and Ding Yuan bestowed her on his adopted son Lu Bu, who married her.The yellow turbans became chaotic, the two were separated, and Diao Chan fled to Wang Yun's mansion.After Dong Zhuo took power, Cai Yong presented Wang Yun with a series of tricks, and Wang Yun used Diao Chan to achieve a series of tricks, separated Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and killed Dong Zhuo under the guise of Yintai abdication.It is not difficult for people with a discerning eye to see that the eighth chapter "Wang Situ cleverly used a series of tricks/Dong Taishi made trouble at Fengyi Pavilion" written by Luo Guanzhong, and the first half of the ninth chapter "Eliminating the Violent Lv Bu and Helping Situ" are exactly in "Pinghua" and Yuan Zaju Based on related stories, adjust the identities and relationships of the characters, increase the plot waves and details, and re-create it.In the meantime, Diao Chan has become a stunning geisha who was selected into Wang Yun's mansion since she was a child, and she understands righteousness. In order to repay Wang Yun's kindness of nurturing her as her own daughter for many years, she is willing to sacrifice herself and wedge herself between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. , So as to help Wang Yun achieve a series of tricks.After that, Diaochan became Lu Bu's concubine, as explained in the nineteenth chapter "Cao Cao's Fighting Brigade in Xiapi City/Lu Bu's Death in Baimenlou".But in the next twentieth chapter, it only mentioned that Cao Cao "carried Lu Bu's wife and daughter back to Xudu", leaving nothing about Diao Chan's later fate.

The absence of Luo Guanzhong's payment is not due to omissions, but because some words in "Three Kingdoms" made him embarrassed. The text of "The Biography of Lu Bu" states: "Zhuo often envoys Bu to guard the central pavilion, and Bu has an affair with Zhuo's maidservant. He is afraid that things will be discovered, and he feels uneasy." Whether this "servant maid" is Diao Chan, the cause and effect of the affair Life and death, there is a gap that comes and goes without a trace. Biography of Lu Bu quoted from "Heroes" in Pei's annotations, which involved Lu Bu's "wife" twice, and the daughter born to him by this "wife" was going to marry Yuan Shu's son politically, at least thirteen or fourteen years old, and the "wife" was At least thirty years old, and Diao Chan can't get along.In "Guan Yu Biography", Pei Zhu also quoted "Shu Ji" and wrote:

Duke Cao and Liu Bei besieged Lu Bu at Xiapi, and Guan Yu asked the Duke, "Bu sent Qin Yilu to ask for help and beg for his wife." The public agreed.Before it was broken, it was repeatedly opened to the public.The public suspects that it has a different color, so I will go to see it first, because I will keep it for myself.Yu felt uneasy.This is no different from what is said in "Wei Shi Chun Qiu". "Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals" can be found in "Ming Emperor Ji" Pei's Note, saying that Qin's wife was surnamed Du, and she belonged to Cao Cao's posthumous son Qin Lang. Cao Cao "loved him very much" and said to the guests, "Is there anyone who loves a fake child like an orphan?" .During the reign of Emperor Wei and Ming Dynasty, from the official Qin Lang to General Xiaoqi, he was very favored and trusted.These two paragraphs of Pei's annotations can be described as remarkable. The facts are based on "Shu Ji" and supported by "Wei Shi Chunqiu", so there is no need to question it at will.The wife of Lu Bu's general Qin Yilu must be a stunning beauty, and Guan Yu, who easily does not ask for help, "repeatedly entrusted to the public" and "begged to be married as his wife".Because of Guan Yu's uncharacteristic behavior, Cao Cao "suspected that she had a different color", took advantage of his power, and took the first step, sent someone to "welcome" Qin Yilu's wife to "see", and immediately "keep her for himself", regardless of Guan Yu's reaction.Sure enough, Guan Yu was "uneasy", and later returned to Liu Bei, which may have nothing to do with it.If only Cao Cao is involved in this beauty-winning drama, the novelist's wonderful pen can naturally be used to his heart's content.Just like in the second half of the sixteenth chapter "Cao Mengde's defeat in the water", the wife of Cao Cao's uncle Zhang Ji, who occupied Zhang Xiu's surrendered general Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, "had fun and didn't want to return", causing Zhang Xiu to rebel and burn Cao Ying. I had no choice but to flee in embarrassment. The eldest son Cao Ang, brother Cao Anmin, and Ai Jiang Dianwei all died for him, so I had to write at least one and a half chapters.However, it happens that Guan Yu is also involved, and Guan Yu is the first intentional occupant. If it is written, it will definitely tarnish Guan Yu's glorious image.Song and Yuan artists who said "three points" didn't care about this, insisting that Qin's wife was Diao Chan; Yuan Zaju even had a "Guan Yu Cut Diao Chan under the Moon", showing that Guan Yu was robbed of his love, and he was so angry that he simply came to everyone to occupy him. no.Since Luo Guanzhong wanted to respect Liu and suppress Cao, and especially to beautify Guan Yu, he had to keep taboo on this sensitive topic for his respect.Therefore, the final ending of Diao Chan, a fictionalized beauty, cannot even be tested in novels, and it is even more difficult to force it to match the records in historical records.

Even so, this Diaochan came alive unexpectedly, ranking among the four beauties in ancient China, not only radiant in the novel, but also shocking in the hearts of the world. Why?From the perspective of artistic aesthetics, of course, it can be interpreted with the popular theory that typical images both originate from life and are higher than life.But among the numerous Diao Chan fans since ancient times and today, it is definitely not a certain theory that plays a role, but the identification with the charm of beautiful women.Before Diao Chan, a woman like Xishi who washes gauze, the reason why a beautiful woman can surpass a hundred thousand soldiers is because of her posture of sinking a fish and falling a wild goose. The old enemy Yue Wang Goujian took a horse, thus giving the latter a wonderful turning point, ten years of lessons, ten years of reunion, revitalization, and the destruction of Wu.Wang Zhaojun also came from the folk, and the water of the Xiangxi River made her a natural beauty, but "it was a few years old in the palace, and she was not allowed to see the imperial court", and it was only when Emperor Liu Shi of the Han Yuan Dynasty gave her to Huhanxie Shanyu, the Hun, that she was "unknown". Rich and beautiful decorations, bright Han Palace, Gu Jingpei back, moving left and right", "surprised" and regretted, "wanted to keep it", it can no longer be done (see "Book of the Later Han·Southern Xiongnu Biography").

After Diao Chan, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, who "emphasizes sex and thinks about the country", used all means to publicize incest, snatched Yang Yuhuan from his son King Shou, and made her a noble concubine. Concubine Yu Yang's stunning beauty is enough to make "the six palaces of pink and black colorless" (see Bai Juyi).As for Diao Chan, Wang Yun decided to use her to separate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, because Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were "both lustful" in his fancy. Enter the chain meter.Sure enough, as soon as Lu Bu saw Diao Chan "coming out with gorgeous makeup", he "asked who it was"; when Dong Zhuo saw Diao Chan "turning around in his palm in surprise", "a new branch of a beautiful flower winds up", he praised him as "a man among the real gods" Also", after being accepted as a concubine, she was even more "fascinated by sex, and did not leave the board for more than a month" (see the eighth chapter).The charm of Diao Chan's beauty is full of rivalry with Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun before her, and Concubine Yang later, and it is widely spread and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Who cares if she seems to be there or not?

However, the charm of beauty is also a modern term I use.In ancient China, from the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties that have written records and cultural relics can be confirmed, no matter how the whole society merged and fell apart, and dynasties changed, it was covered with a patriarchal center.Especially after the Western Han Dynasty's "supreme Confucianism", the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Principles, the Three Obediences and the Four Virtues, concentrated all discourse power in the hands of men, except for a few powerful women who did "occasionally show off" due to fate, 90% Women above 9.9, including those talented and strong women who are lucky enough to take photos in historical records, are actually all in the eyes of men.Among the beauties, compared with many other ordinary women, the biggest uniqueness is that they are called "stunners". "Stunner"

The term comes from "Zuo Zhuan" in the 28th year of Zhao Gong: "A husband has a beauty, enough to move people." The original meaning refers to all kinds of outstanding characters, but as the patriarchal society becomes more and more solid, this kind of The general reference to sex became more and more vague, and finally evolved into a specific reference to stunning beauties.This kind of specific designation itself has Chinese characteristics, and has always focused on the female sex contained in "food, sex, and sex", which is more characteristic and more characteristic. The term "excellent beauty" means, to put it bluntly, a superb female sex, which is enough to achieve the effect of "transferring people" ("Hanshu · Biography of Foreign Relatives").In ancient China, the discourse power to judge female sex and the patent right to enjoy female sex were one and the same, two in one, all controlled by men. The more powerful a man, the more opportunities to appreciate and enjoy female sex.Although they did not talk about "measurements", "sexy" or "artificial" in those days, they pursued the beauty of natural appearance, body posture and skin color, but it has been refined to the eyebrows, eyes, nose, Mouth, lips, teeth, neck, waist, fingers, feet, even hair, and voice are all in a supernatural state. The threshold for being shortlisted for beauties is quite high. The figure is basically square, and all cheap pan-beauties are called beauties. Naturally, exquisite beauty can be encountered but not sought after.Only in this way, once encountering a superb beauty, a man with power will often develop a lustful nature.It was precisely this point that Wang Yun saw for sure, so he used the beauty Diaochan as the buckle connecting Dong and Lu, and was able to successfully implement the chain plan.It would be too prudish to insist on Diao Chan's political awareness of caring about "major national affairs" and would rather "be willing to die".

Now that she has become a stunner, Diaochan can't escape the predestined fate of being men's prey, gifts, private belongings, and even substitutes and discarded objects.In Wang Yun's side, she accidentally became a political prey. Situ Wang Yun, who was in the high position of "Three Dukes", did not hesitate to condescend to "kowtow and worship", and quickly hunted her down as a backup of political gifts.The first step is to affix this political gift with Wang Yun's "Little Girl" brand name, package it and give it to the lustful Lu Bu.Lu Bu felt hot all over when he saw it, and was eager to keep it as a private property in the house, so he put a chain button on the quilt.In the second step, Wang Yun took the same political gift and sexually bribed another lustful man, Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo immediately laughed at Diao Chan as his private property, and was also put on a chain buckle.In just two steps, this stunner has become a rare political substitute in Wang Yun's series of schemes by virtue of her natural beauty.One buckle and two rings in succession, so it entered the third step. In order to fight for this beauty, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu turned against each other.This leads to the fourth step. Wang Yun, the chief designer of the serial plan, further contacted Lv Bu and formed an alliance with him. Lv Bu personally killed Dong Zhuo.Lu Bu became the winner of the US war, took Diaochan as his concubine, and turned her into a private property as he wished.At that moment, Wang Yun no longer needed Diao Chan, Diao Chan was no different from the chief designer's political waste.A few years later, Lu Bu was killed in the Baimen Tower, and she served as Lu Bu's war relics. She was either killed in the war, or was trampled to death by the rebellious army, or was "carried back to Xudu" by Cao Cao, and the Lu family's personal belongings were taken from her. It became Cao's personal property.

This is indeed just talking, and it cannot be equated with Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, and Yang Guifei, and it should be regarded as a real thing that happened in history.However, in the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms period, there were many stunning beauties who had similar fates, and the most outstanding one was Empress Zhen.According to the "Three Kingdoms · Wei Shu · Concubine Biography", Zhen Hou was born in Zhongshan Wuji (now Zhengding, Hebei) at the end of the Han Dynasty. He was born in a bureaucratic scholar-bureaucrat family in December of the fifth year of Lingdi Guanghe (182).When she was young, someone showed her a picture and said, "This girl is precious, it is unspeakable."Smart since childhood, "not easy to tease". "Nine-year-old, fond of books, easy to read by sight", born with a beautiful appearance and wisdom.After becoming an adult, she became the wife of Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Xi. In the seventh year of Xiandi Jian'an (202), Yuan Xi served as the governor of Youzhou, and she stayed in Jizhou to serve her mother-in-law.In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Cao Cao broke through the city of Ye. Cao Pi entered Yuan's mansion first. It's Xi's wife."Cao Pi immediately "groomed her hair in a bun and wiped her face with a towel", and was amazed when she found that Zhen's "extraordinary appearance".As soon as Cao Pi left, Empress Liu let out a sigh of relief: "Don't worry about death!" As expected, when Cao Cao heard that Cao Pi liked the Zhen family, he immediately "married him", and Cao Pi also "favored" the Zhen family. .It is very obvious that Zhen became Yuan Xi's wife when she was a teenager, and Cao Pi's concubine when she was 24, not because of her appearance and wisdom, but because of her "extraordinary appearance" of a natural beauty.Cao Pi had already found out that she was Yuan Xi's wife. He knew that Yuan Xi was still alive at the time, but as the victor of the war, all the people, property, and things that belonged to the loser became his spoils of war, and he took Zhen's family as his own. Pets are a matter of course. After being regarded as a personal "favorite" by Cao Pi, the Zhen family gave birth to Cao Pi's son Cao Rui, who later became Emperor Wei Ming, and his daughter, Princess Anxiang.No matter how much Cao Pi dotes on her, she is always cautious, and in accordance with the feudal imperial morality, she has repeatedly advised Cao Pi to "ask for Shuyuan widely and succeed her heirs with abundance".Among Cao Pi's many concubines, there was a family named Ren who offended him because of his "temperament and disobedience", so he decided to send him out.The Zhen family took the initiative to persuade: "Ren is a famous family member of the township party, but his virtue and concubines are not as good as him. How can we send him?"This incident shows that even during the period of being "favored", the Zhen family was only one of Cao Pi's many private "favorites", and his words did not carry much weight.In the first month of the first year of Yankang (220) of Emperor Xian, Cao Pi was the throne of Wei, and did not make Zhen's queen; in June, when he marched south, he left Zhen's in Yecheng. "Three Kingdoms", "Wei Lue" and "Wei Shu" all avoided the reason. Now, according to the year, Zhen was 38 years old at that time. inevitable.This is definitely not my wild speculation. In her original biography, the follow-up records are clear evidence.In October of the first year of Wei Huangchu (220), that is, four months after Cao Pi's southern expedition, the Han Dynasty of the Wei Dynasty flourished, and Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor by "practicing Yan".After Cao Pi became emperor, Liu Xie, the former Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and the current Duke of Shanyang, immediately "served his second daughter as a concubine to Wei" and presented a generous political gift; "The more frustrated".Zhen Shi, who was so gentle and docile before, will inevitably "complain" after "getting more frustrated".Complaints spread to Cao Pi's ears, "The emperor was furious, and in June of the second year (221), he sent an envoy to die and was buried in Ye."This natural beauty has hurriedly walked through 17 years of life by Cao Pi's side, from a war prey to a private pet, and a patriarchal abandonment. He died at only 39 years old.During his lifetime, he was not regarded as a queen or empress, and only his mother was valued by his son after death. After Cao Rui succeeded Cao Pi as Emperor Ming in the first year of Taihe (227), he only "chased his posthumous mother, Mrs. Zhen, as Empress Wenzhao".Compared with Diao Chan, although Empress Zhen lacked some kind of gift and experience as a substitute, and her prosperous life was slightly longer, the basic trajectory of fate is not fundamentally different. Another obvious example is Jiangdong Erqiao.Qiao, "Three Kingdoms" as "bridge". "Zhou Yu's Biography" records that in the third year of Jian'an (198), Zhou Yu defected to Sun Ce and was appointed as Jianwei Zhonglang General. "Yu was twenty-four years old, and everyone in Wuzhong called him Zhou Lang." He was a "strong and handsome" handsome man.Sun Ce was the same age as him, also known as Sun Lang, "Yi Yingda has long been successful", and when they were teenagers, "they made a good relationship, and the same love cuts off the gold".Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce to "attack Anhui (now Qianjiang County, Anhui) and pull them out. At that time, there were two daughters of Qiao Gong and two daughters, both of whom were beautiful. Ce Zina Bridge and Yuna Bridge".Two young and beautiful men who are sworn brothers marry two beautiful girls of national beauty who are sisters. Not only in the Three Kingdoms period, but also throughout ancient and modern times, it is a story that is hard to come by.But a word "De" and a word "Na" more or less imply some Spring and Autumn brushwork. Pei Zhu quoted "Jiang Biao Zhuan" as saying, "Ce calmly played with Yu and said: 'Although the two daughters of Mr. Qiao are displaced, it is enough to have us as husbands.'" The word "play" is even more strange.The Duke of Qiao mentioned in the two quotations is generally considered to be the "Liang Guo (Liang Guo in the Han Dynasty belonged to the Yuzhou Governor's Department, located in the south of Shangqiu, Henan Province) Qiaoxuan" who appreciated the young Cao Cao in "Emperor Wu Ji", in the seventh year of Jian'an (202) Cao Cao once "sent envoys to worship in the ether".Judging from Sun Ce's words, after Qiao Xuan died of illness in the Guanghe reign of Emperor Ling (178-184), his two daughters lost their husbands in their infancy and were "displaced" among the people. They were at least in their teens and twenties at the time.The so-called "get" is actually captured. The two beauties are his war prey, and the prey can naturally be "accepted" as private property in the house. There is no need to consult Erqiao at all (although Erqiao will be willing if he does). .Taking this dictatorial matter as a good and beautiful thing and speaking it in a "joke" way, it highlights Sun Ce's warlord-style patriarchal complacency.Although there is no trace of the second bridge in the relevant historical records, it can be presumed that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu died young and both became widows.Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said in his poem that "if the east wind is not with Zhou Lang, Tongquechun will lock Erqiao deeply", which is purely a historical hypothesis.But if the hypothesis is established, Er Qiao will become Cao Cao's war prey in the Battle of Chibi. I really don't know how he will treat Er Qiao and how he will repay "Qiao Gong"?Letting go of the assumptions now, and just telling the facts, even the two daughters of the former Taiwei and a famous scholar Qiao Xuan suffered from "displacement" in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. Isn't it hard to imagine the fate of other beauties? The beauties who have not suffered from being displaced, and who belong to noble and dignitary families, also cannot control their own destiny.The female side of Liu Bei's two political marriages is essentially a political gift.The last time he married Mrs. Sun, Liu Bei was already half a hundred years old. Sun Quan was twenty-nine years old at the time, and his younger sister was no more than twenty years old (otherwise she would have married early), but Sun Quan wanted to be "solid" with Liu Bei. ", she had to follow her brother's order to make a political gift.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that she will also monitor Liu Bei for Sun Quan, just like an undercover agent, a spy substitute.Give her the name Sun Shangxiang, but it is unknown in "Three Kingdoms", only incidentally mentioned in "Fa Zheng Zhuan" and "Zhao Yun Biography".This beauty can be called a strange woman and a strong woman, "talented and fierce, with the style of brothers".After marrying Liu Bei, "more than a hundred maidservants served the master with swords in person", so that "every time the former master entered, his heart was always dignified".Of course, this was not accepted by Liu Bei sincerely. When he led the army into Shu, he left her in Jingzhou, and Zhao Yun was left "specially in charge of internal affairs" to control her.Sun Quan finally understood that the marriage plan was in vain, so he "sent a boat to welcome his sister"; Mrs. Sun wanted to make another bet before leaving, "return the empress to Wu", but Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei "reined in the river", After recapturing Adou, only let Madam Sun go back.Mrs. Sun's return to Wu was tantamount to a political outcast for both Sun and Liu, and the ending was sad and lamentable.The last time she married Empress Mu, Liu Mao's widow was also a political gift, which was given to Liu Bei by Fazheng, Wu Yi and others in collusion.Fazheng donated land and people, so he became the number one political celebrity after Liu Bei entered Shu.Wu Yi sacrificed his younger sister, and also got the benefit of being appointed as the official chariot and cavalry general.Fortunately, the sacrificed person finally became Empress Mu, and the ending was far better than Mrs. Sun. Similar to Diao Chan, these beauties of the Three Kingdoms are like mirrors, reflecting the real faces of some men and even the whole society that are often concealed.The mirror of Qin Yilu's wife, Du's, not only reflects Cao Cao's lustful nature, but also the same as Zhang Ji's wife in Wancheng, who is so addicted to beauty that he dares to dispose of any major event—such as the victory or defeat of a war, such as the recruitment of talents—in spite of everything. Regardless, it can be said that Guan Yu is full of lust; and it shows that Guan Yu also has a mortal lust, and he is not as inhuman as he exaggerates, and he can sit still no matter how beautiful he is.Regardless of Cao Cao, Guan Yu like this is more humane and restores the true nature of life.The mirror of Zhen's mainly reflects that Cao Pi not only has the style of being a father, but also has a lustful nature, and he does not hesitate to start chaos and abandon him in the end. In the latter point, even Lu Bu is inferior to himself.Secondly, it also shows another character of Cao Cao, that is, employing talents regardless of morality and ethics, and good women are also regardless of morality and ethics, which will attract Kong Rong's irony.It's a pity that Kong Rong was too rigid about poetry and etiquette and heirs. He almost knew that Cao Cao was not the only feudal statesman.After Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Xie, who changed the positions of monarchs and ministers, "served the second daughter as a concubine to Wei", regardless of himself. That is, those under the age of twelve will be raised at home for the time being)", Cao Pi is actually his uncle and old man; As Liu Xie's uncle and old man, Cao Pi also accepted Liu Xie's two nieces according to his order, adding "love", which shows that they have always been the same thing, only talking about estrus in four seasons, uncle and old man possessed Even if the niece is petty, what's the big deal about possessing other people's wives?Compared with them, Fazheng and Wu Yi reflected in Empress Mu's mirror are nothing short of insignificant. However, it is not possible to generalize and regard the romantic figures of the Three Kingdoms as both lustful and incestuous.Guan Yu is clearly distinguished from Cao Cao.Liu Bei's joy and anger are invisible, and the turtle has meat hidden in its belly. After all, political considerations in marrying Empress Mu outweighed the confusion of female sex, and it is quite different from Cao Cao.Although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are two young and beautiful men, although they "accepted" the bridge and the small bridge respectively by "winning", and Sun Ce even made "joking" jokes, but there is no doubt that he really loves those two beautiful girls. .Faced with the seduction of women, Zhao Yun is the one who is most able to maintain integrity and maintain the moral dignity of a man. "Zhao Yun Biography" quoted from "Yun Bie Zhuan" wrote that after Liu Bei pacified the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, he appointed Zhao Yun as a partial general and led the Guiyang prefect to replace the original prefect Zhao Fan.Zhao Fan's widowed sister-in-law, Fan's family, "has a national beauty, and Fan wants to match the cloud."Zhao Yun refused, saying: "Similar to the same surname, Brother Qing is like my brother." He resolutely refused to agree.Others persuaded Zhao Yun to accept the Fan family, but Zhao Yun still insisted that Zhao Fan was forced to surrender, "unpredictable", not to mention that "there are many women in the world", after all, he did not do that. "Fan Guo fled, Yun Wuxian intervened."If it were Cao's father and son, or Lu Bu and his ilk, they would be 100% like those abusive officials who need beauties, money, and treasures today, and they would have embraced Fan's family long ago.Another example is Zhuge Liang, who is also of high moral character and does not envy women. "Zhuge Liang's Biography" quoted from "Xiangyang Ji" said that Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Miannan, chose Zhuge Liang for his son-in-law.Zhuge Liang agreed to marry this ugly girl, "send her immediately", and never married another in his life.This is in line with Cao Cao's 13 surnamed queens, wives, Zhaoyi, and concubines in "The Biography of the Prince of Wu Wen", not including his ex-wives, Mrs. In contrast, there is a world of difference.Therefore, Cao Cao is undoubtedly superior to Zhuge Liang in terms of merit, but Cao Cao cannot be compared with Zhuge Liang in terms of morality.Beauty, as a special mirror that lasts for generations, cannot be underestimated. A man who respects power wantonly hunts and enjoys beauties, not only happened to those warlords and nobles who were in troubled times in the early Three Kingdoms period, their second and third generations also enjoyed it and indulged without restraint.In the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Yan, the Marquis of the Duxiang and the General of Chariots and Cavalry, was originally the "surname" of the Liu family.His wife Hu's "beautiful" entered the palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager in the first month of the twelfth year of Jianxing (234). ".In terms of family lineage, Liu Yan and Liu Chan should be distant uncles and nephews, and the Hu family should be Liu Chan's aunt.But the natural beauties are "beautiful" to eat, no matter what uncles, aunts and nephews, if they are hunted, they will stay in the palace for "fun", and they will be released only when the "fun" is enough.Of course, a fig leaf was pulled, saying that "the queen mother ordered special stay", and the queen mother was used to cover up people's eyes and ears.Liu Yan knew that the Hu family had "privileged interests with the successor", so he did not dare to provoke Liu Chan, and his anger was all on the Hu family.I thought that no matter how "beautiful" you are, you can only be my private property in the house alone, and now you are giving me a cuckold. There are many natural beauties, how can I keep you?So he ordered the soldiers to beat Hu Shi, even hit Hu Shi in the face with the sole of his shoe, "and then abandon him."The Hu family was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. After becoming a waste of her husband's family, she sued the emperor's "lover", so "Yan sat in prison".Naturally, the officials under the imperial edict could not pursue Liu Yan's crimes of insulting, corporal punishment, and abandoning the current emperor's "mistress", and punished him for "anti-national supreme leader". The absurd conclusion of "not a place to be walked", "Yan actually abandoned the market". In the history of China's "rule of law" where words are used to replace law, this is so absurd that it may be called an out-of-print.Looking at Hu's out of print now, the characteristics of her beauty, private, prey, and discarded objects are vivid; looking at Liu Yan and Liu Chan, they look like "rivals in love", but they are actually the same. Even more so than Liu Chan is Sun Quan's grandson, Sun Hao, the last emperor of Wu.In the first year of Yuanxing (264), Sun Hao was immediately crowned emperor by Prime Minister Puyang Xing and Zuo General Zhang Buyong. He was 23 years old at the time.In August of that year, Zhang Bu was promoted to general of hussars and added to the rank of servant because of his meritorious service; one of his daughters was also regarded as a beauty by Sun Hao, who was "favored".But "Hao had achieved his ambitions, was rude and arrogant, had many taboos, was fond of wine and sex, and was disappointed in both big and small." Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu especially "repented of it".Someone informed Sun Hao that in November of that year, Sun Hao "Zhu Xing, Bu".After killing Zhang Bu, he asked Zhang Meiren: "Where is your father?" Zhang replied: "The thief (already) killed him." Sun Hao immediately "furious" and "killed" Zhang Meiren.When his anger calmed down, Sun Hao, who was "good at wine and color", "thought about his color" again, and assigned a skilled worker to "carve wood to make a beautiful image, and always put it on the side of the seat".He also asked the left and right, "Does Bufu have a daughter?" The left and right told him that Zhang Bu's eldest daughter married Feng Chun, the son of the former Wei Wei Feng Chao.As soon as Sun Hao heard this, he immediately sent someone to "take his pure wife into the palace, she is very favored, worshiped as Mrs. Zuo, had banquets with her day and night, and did not listen to government affairs". Insufficient "house banquet" made the palace Shangfang use gold to make thousands of Huasui, Buyao, and fake buns, and ordered the maids of the palace to wear these gold ornaments "to sumo" to cheer for their "house banquet". .The collision of sumo wrestling often leads to gold jewelry "failing day and night, and making new ones", and some craftsmen look for opportunities to steal, leaving the house empty. After Mrs. Zhang died, Sun Hao "buried her in the garden" and "made a tomb" and ordered the craftsmen to "carve cypresses to make wooden figures" and put them in the tomb "as a guard for soldiers". Weighing".Sun Hao "cured the funeral in the house and did not come out for half a year", which caused people in the country to rumor that he was dead, and the person who came back in the name of Sun Hao was not himself, but his brother-in-law He Du who "looked like a good-looking man".In the history of Chinese emperors' obsession with women and lewdness, this may be regarded as an out-of-print "heavenly king" level. Li Longji in Tang Dynasty was beyond the reach of Yang Yuhuan.Pei Songzhi annotated "Three Kingdoms·Wu Shu·Concubine Biography" and especially cited "Jiang Biao Zhuan" for detailed records, so that future generations can know that there are such people and such things in the world. Chen Shou wrote "Three Kingdoms · Wei Shu · Biography of Concubines", and wrote a preface, which deserves the attention of future generations.First of all, he quoted "Yi": "The upright position of men is outside, and the upright position of women is inside. Men and women are upright, and the righteousness of heaven and earth is also." Secondly, he used "two concubines and concubines, Yu Dao cloned" and "Ren and Si with concubines, Zhou Shi Yongxi" as a comparison, and proposed that "abolition, prosperity, survival, and permanence are the reasons for this" lies in whether "the system of empresses and concubines of the Ming Dynasty, and the virtues of heaven and earth" can be achieved.Then he sighed with emotion: "The extravagance and indulgence in the last days have caused resentment among men and women, and moved them to be kind. Only color is admiration, not self-satisfaction, so the mausoleum of wind and mausoleum is delayed and the outline is destroyed. Wouldn't it be a pity? Woo hoo Those who have a country and a family can learn from it forever!" The basic meaning of these words is quite precise, "men and women are right", and the harmony between men and women is indeed unchangeable through the ages, and it is related to the "great righteousness of heaven and earth" of "abolition, prosperity, survival and death". "Woeser is admiration, but not selfishness" will indeed lead to "the mausoleum of wind and religion is delayed and the outline is destroyed". From ancient times to the present, "those who have a country and a family" should "learn forever".But he did not see that the relationship between men and women in heaven and earth has both a biological aspect and a more social aspect. It is by no means simply a combination of heaven and earth as mentioned in "Book of Changes". Since three generations, men and women have never been equal. , never harmonized. The preaching of "men and women are right", the basic believers mainly exist in the folk, and the existence is not pure; As for those rulers who control economic, political, military, cultural, and religious power, quite a few people have never believed in it, except for some of them who can indeed be morally self-disciplined.They say one thing and do another, whether it is an honest gentleman like Wang Yun, or a powerful man like Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Liu Chan, Sun Hao, or even the hypocrites of the past dynasties. They are nothing more than spiritual and physical objects graded by "color", and the stunning beauties among them are nothing more than the highest-grade, labeled stunners.Stunners are also things, just like other women, they can all be "desireless and extravagant", and use them as prey, gifts, private things, substitutes, and abandoned things according to the change of time, place, and conditions.The so-called "since ancient times, beauties are more miserable than life" is a sad summary of this social and historical trend. It is so in "troubled times" and "end times", and it is not much better in "government times" and "prosperous times". Just the difference.Even in today's China, many men still can't look in the mirrors of the beauties of the Three Kingdoms, otherwise their ugly faces will be fully exposed.There is a slogan "food and beauty, let the sense of taste and vision relax", which is quite worthy of people's thinking. In fact, the female issue with beautiful women as the node has always been a global social and historical issue.As early as the 12th century BC, the Achaeans in the southern part of the Greek peninsula and the Trojans in the northern part of Asia Minor fought a tribal war that lasted 10 years for the Spartan beauty Helen, and the Greeks were eventually destroyed. the city of Troy.Human beings have entered the 21st century, and the overall level of civilization is much higher. However, in some African countries, regions and tribes, girls still have to undergo "circumcision", and kings can still "choose concubines" every year.Even in civilization-leading countries, women have the right to be queen, president, prime minister, prime minister, secretary of state, and CEO. Princess Diana of the United Kingdom, who was born in a commoner family, can compete with Prince Charles, pursue personal freedom of love, and challenge hereditary kingship and patriarchy. Once known as "the most beautiful woman in the world" and "Mona Lisa of the twentieth century", the 79-year-old former famous Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida can justifiably be 34 years younger than her The Spanish real estate agent Javier Rigo Rifoles got married, which still only shows that women's fortunes have improved and their status has improved, and it is by no means "men and women are the same".The US "Fortune" magazine selected the 31 most powerful people in the world in 2006. There were only 2 women. One was the current US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and the other was one of the founders of the Gates Foundation alongside her husband Bill Gates.梅琳达·盖茨，男女比例的过分悬殊即为一个铁证。 风行全球的“选美”活动五花八门，表面上仿佛是崇尚女性美，实际上骨子里都是男人在变相猎艳，满足意淫，而不是女人在主动比美。通常多由男人“选”出来的“美”，无论封“后”称“姐”，事后总有不少的美女沦为富豪巨贾、政要名流甚至黑帮头子的新妇、二奶或者小蜜，就证明了诸多“选美”在现代文明包装下的男权购“物”实质。前不久，据英国媒体披露，奥地利首都维也纳国家剧院附近的公厕里，安装了一批外形酷似女人性感嘴唇的小便池，池内竟然还有一排雪白的牙齿和一条鲜红的舌头。制造商纽合德，以及设计“女人嘴唇小便池”的专家们，究竟将女性当作什么，难道还需要作分析吗？而所有这些，较之美国前总统克林顿的“拉链门”不乏后继之人，甚或后来居上，以及明娼、暗娼、“红灯区”广泛存在，国际间的贩卖性奴隶事件时有所闻，又都成了小焉者也。固然不容许以一当十，以偏概全，但只要不睁着眼睛说瞎话，谁能说，女性人格已经普遍得到充分尊重了呢？借全球“他山之石”，攻当今中国之“玉”，未尝没有必要。
