Xiangbulou is a memoir written by scholar Chen Peizhi during Jiaqing period. The object of memory is his concubine Wang, whom the author used to call.
When he was fourteen, Wang Xian took a fancy to him because of his outstanding talent. After some investigation, I am more interested in Wang Xian.
So Lao Wang betrothed his precious daughter Wang Duan to him. Wang Duan was fifteen when he got engaged.
Who is Wang Duan?
She was a famous poetess in Qing Dynasty, and the Wangs were handsome from ancestors to nephews.
Wang Duan was born in a high-level intellectual family and was gifted. He has been a poet since he was a child. There are handed down works "Selected Poems of Thirty Schools in Ming Dynasty" and "Poems on Natural Learning".
When Wang Duan officially married the Chen family at the age of 18, Chen Peizhi sighed: "The end will be Jia, and there is no need to kiss those who are called sages below." Those who are familiar with the gains and losses of historical biography and poetry school are all taught by the monarch. "
This kind of treatment was unimaginable in that feudal hierarchy, when men were superior to women.

In the vast sea of people, Chen Peizhi can be selected by Wang Duan's father, which is undoubtedly a good piece of jade.
Chen Peizhi's father, Chen Wenshu, is a celebrity in Qiantang. He is very talented and charming, and he worships Yuan Mei all his life.
He recruited female disciples from Yuan Mei and attracted more than 30 people. Wang Duan also studied poetry with his father-in-law.
Influenced by such a family, Chen Peizhi's reputation is early, and it is not surprising that he can be chosen as the son-in-law of Dong Chuang by Wang Xianxuan.
"It looks like Wei's, but it's slightly like Wen Taizhen. The economy of the article is like Jia Changsha, and it is like Zhou Gongjin. "
This is what people say about him.
It can be seen that Chen Peizhi is a rich and talented son-in-law.

In real life, some people are brilliant and rich, which causes most others to complain. They felt that fate was unfair and gave all the good things to one person.
In fact, there is a direct causal relationship, but most people do not realize it.
Any family with scholarly family always needs a generation of ZTE.
Because of its outstanding talent and natural taste, ZTE will choose a woman with both morality, talent and appearance as the first choice in mate selection; Ancient women generally didn't go to school, and next time they would choose smart, virtuous and beautiful women. Such women have temperament.
If you can choose, no one will choose an ugly person as a partner. Not to mention ZTE's talented people.
What's more, it was an era when people didn't want a house or a car, and many good women also wanted to marry a noble and talented husband.

Because the scholarly family attaches great importance to the inheritance of poetic rites, coupled with the good genetic combination of parents and grandparents, this family has a high probability of producing talented children with high value.
Those who can travel around literature and history usually have a few dollars at home.
Huang Chao has a poem called Fuju, which is a famous poem. You can feel its brilliance.
But his family has been selling salt for generations. In ancient times, intellectuals, farmers, workers and businessmen had the lowest position in business, and smuggling salt was not a legal occupation, so even if the Huang family had money, no good woman would marry.
Huang Chao is ugly, probably because his father failed to marry a beautiful wife. Not only did Huang Chao not get a decent family background, but he also didn't get a good skin.
Although Huang Chao was brilliant, he was repeatedly renamed in the imperial examination because of these two points, which led him to rise up in a rage and become a peasant leader against the Tang Dynasty.

After Wang Duan married the Chen family, he could still enjoy literature and history poems. Because the Chen family is an enlightened family, it benefits from the profound knowledge and cultivation of its parents.
Wang Duan gave birth to two sons for the author. The first one died young and the second one was sickly. In order to compose poems, Wang Duan reads books and watches morning chickens every day, but still doesn't sleep.
So she soon lost sleep, and reading and writing took a lot of energy and physical strength, so she could not give birth to a better child.
In view of this, Wang Duan discussed with his elders many times to marry a concubine for the author.
At that time, many women in the brothel took the initiative to throw themselves at each other and were willing to be concubines of their masters. However, Chen Peizhi is a dutiful son and not a lecherous. He is worried that these people can't be filial to him when they enter the house.
What's more, he has to go out to be an official, so the responsibility of taking care of his parents and Wang Duan naturally falls on my aunt, so he wrote: Cai Lanshuxuan, this fact is impossible.
Later, by chance, he met Sharla Cheung, because he wrote several poems, and they fell in love at first sight.
Sharla Cheung explicitly refused to make a fuss and married him in a low-key way.

Sharla Cheung and the author's three views can be said to be in perfect harmony.
The author attaches importance to friendship, and so does Sharla Cheung. The author attaches importance to filial piety, so does Sharla Cheung. There are many pen and ink records in this paper, which can reflect these two qualities of Sharla Cheung.
When the author wanted to be an official in a distant place, Sharla Cheung suggested that he find another bosom friend so that he could take care of his diet and daily life there. On his deathbed, Sharla Cheung still spoke hand in hand, urging the author to take office early, so as not to be delayed by his children's affair.
When Wang Duan was ill, Sharla Cheung felt naught and took care of Wang Duan in every possible way until he forgot to eat or sleep.
When the author's grandmother and father were seriously ill, Sharla Cheung was unable to support the elderly.
Due to overwork, Sharla Cheung soon suffered from hemoptysis. He was afraid of people's worries and forbeared to say anything, which eventually led to his early death.

After Sharla Cheung's death, Wang Duan wrote a poem to mourn, Tai Taigong wrote a biography, and the Chen family mourned all the time. Wang Duan also ordered his children to serve Sharla Cheung for three years.
In ancient times, for a concubine, this kind of treatment was almost unimaginable.
I really admire Chen Peizhi. There are not only two wives at home, but also they can be quiet, which is very rare. And both wives sincerely advised him to marry another concubine, which made me admire him deeply.
As a man, Chen Peizhi is undoubtedly very successful. The secret of success lies in choosing a concubine not only for beauty, but also for morality.

After reading this article, I am thinking about a problem. Do girls like Ji Zi still exist in today's society?
I don't think there will be.
Now girls' slogan for marriage is: "After marriage, my quality of life must not be reduced!"
This slogan is also very loud in the media, which has covered almost all unmarried women in China.
If they have read Memories of a Sweet Cabin, Sharla Cheung's marriage life is undoubtedly of no quality, even a "poverty alleviation marriage" that they despise and laugh at.
The marriage of young men in today's society comes from two mountains: one is a house without a loan, and the other is a huge bride price. Both are directly related to the woman's quality of life.
I always thought that couples should share joys and sorrows, but when I carefully observed the social reality, I found that the marriage standard of girls now is that I can only share joys and sorrows with you, and I can never go through hardships with you, because that will reduce my quality of life.

Compared with the previous Autumn Lights, I don't like this article very much.
The style of this article is a bit seriously polished, and the author especially likes to use allusions, or pronouns and pronouns, almost every three or five sentences. Language is far less ethereal and fluent than Qiu Guang.
Wang Guowei wrote "separation and non-separation" in "Words on Earth". If you don't have superb language control ability, blindly replacing words with classics will only make the works fade and split, making people look like flowers in the fog.
In addition, 12000 words of "The Past of Xianglou" only quoted the authors Wang Duan and Sharla Cheung, and each person's elegy reached more than 2,000 words. I almost read a paragraph and quoted two sentences, which made people feel very cumbersome.
10
Sharla Cheung and the author were married for just over two years, and then they died.
The author died at the age of 33, and Wang Duan has been ill. Later, she became a female Taoist, but she also died at the age of 46.
In my opinion, they are all lovely, and the family loves each other, but unfortunately their life span is not long.
