Historical books commented that "Marrying a wife should be like Yin Lihua." What was the life of Yin Lihua in the Eastern Han Dynasty?

Yin Lihua is the second queen of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is known as the Queen Guanglie of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Because Liu Xiu had a famous saying in his early years, "Be an official, marry a wife, and become a beauty", which made this name very famous in the Spring and Autumn Period. So who is Yin Lihua? What charm does she have that makes Liu Xiu miss her so much?

Yin Lihua is in pursuit. Because of Sun Guanxiu, the seventh generation of Guanzhong, he was called Dr. Yin, and his surname was changed to Yin in later generations. At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Yin Jiaju moved to Xinye (now Xinye County, Henan Province). When Yin Lihua was born, although the Yin family had little political influence, it was a wealthy family with more than 700 hectares of fertile land. The size of the horses and servants can be compared with that of the princes at that time. Yin Lihua was not only born rich, but also dignified and beautiful. At that time, Liu Xiu's brother-in-law Deng Chen had a good relationship with the Yin family. Through this relationship, Liu Xiu met Yin Lihua by chance and couldn't help being fascinated by Yin Lihua, which led to the later "Lihua Sigh".

In 23 AD, Liu Yan was killed by Liu Xuan for no reason. Liu Xiu was shocked by the news. But in order to avoid Liu Xuan's suspicion, Liu Xiu did not dare to mourn his brother. He was eating and laughing as usual. At this time, he also had a happy event and married his beautiful wife Yin Lihua. Yin Lihua is virtuous. I think she can now understand Liu Xiu's inner pain very well. Therefore, Liu Xiu often advised Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu's feelings for Liu Xiucai became more and more profound.

Yin Lihua has been a prominent figure for 16 years. In the end, Liu Xiu chose Guo Shengtong and became his queen. She originally had an identity, but after being a concubine for so many years, Yin Lihua didn't complain at all. After Liu Xiu's death, Yin Lihua's son Liu Zhuang became emperor. However, she is very kind to the Guo family and treats them as her own. And she often told her children to treat the Guo family well, so in the era of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the Guo family was still favored by people.
