Luo Yin’s Xi Shi’s famous sayings through the ages: If Xi Shi conquered the country of Wu, who would it be if the country of Yue fell? Xi Shi (Luo Yin) The rise and fall of the country will come naturally, so why should the people of Wu blame Xi Shi? If Xi Shi conquers Wu and overthrows him, who will be the one who will overthrow Yue? Appreciation: Historically, many of the poems praising Xi Shi have attributed the death of Wu to female sex, objectively excusing or mitigating the culpability of the feudal rulers. The uniqueness of Luo Yin's little poem is that it opposes this traditional concept, breaks the argument that "women are a disaster", and shines out the brilliance of new thoughts. "When the country rises and falls, why should the people of Wu blame Xi Shi?" As soon as he started, the poet clearly stated his point of view and opposed imposing the responsibility of the country's collapse on women like Xi Shi. The "time" here refers to the various complex factors that contribute to the success or failure of a country. "Zi Shi" means that Wu's demise had its own profound reasons and should not be blamed on Xi Shi personally. This is undoubtedly a correct view. Some people think that there is an element of fatalism here, but it is actually due to misunderstanding. "Why bother?" The persuasive tone contained a sarcastic tone: You yourself have missed important national affairs, but you want to blame a weak woman. Why bother! Of course, the object of ridicule is not ordinary Wu people, but the rulers of Wu and their helpers. "If Xi Shi overthrows the Wu Kingdom, who will come after the Yue Kingdom falls?" The following two sentences cleverly use a logical inference: if Xi Shi is the culprit who overthrew the Wu Kingdom, then the King of Yue did not favor his daughter. Sex, who can be blamed for the subsequent demise of the Yue Kingdom? The sharp criticism is expressed in a tactful questioning tone, which does not appear to be tense at all. However, because the facts themselves have strong logical power, they still feel sharp when read. Luo Yin's attitude against marrying sinful women is consistent. During the reign of Emperor Xizong in Guangming (880-881), Huang Chao's rebel army invaded Chang'an, and the emperor fled to Sichuan in a panic. He did not return to the capital until the first year of Guangqi (885). The poet has a quatrain in "The Emperor's Happiness to Shu" to record this incident: "Mawei Mountain is green and green, and I saw Luan Yu lucky to return to Shu. Aman should have something to say under the spring, but this time he will not blame Concubine Yang." "Aman" means "Ah Mao" is the nickname of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The previous time, Xuanzong fled to Shu to escape the Anshi Rebellion, and hanged Concubine Yang in Maweipo to curb the world's population. This time, Xizong once again caused chaos and fled, but could not find a new scapegoat. The poet deliberately asked Xuanzong, who was under Jiuquan, to come out and speak out, and warned later emperors not to blame others. The irony is bitter enough. Comparing it with "Xishi", one chants the history and the other reflects the time. The subject matter is different, but the spiritual essence is the same. From this point of view, the significance of "Xishi" goes beyond reversing the verdict of history!
