Who was the most handsome man in ancient China? This question seems difficult to answer, but in fact the ancients have already given the answer. He is Pan An, who is both talented and beautiful. It is often heard that people use "better looking than Pan An" to praise other people's appearance, or to brag about themselves. In the minds of the world, Pan An has become synonymous with handsomeness. If he is one-third as good-looking as him, he will be enough to stand out in front of his friends. If you are so proud, you will be woken up by your handsomeness even when you fall asleep.
There have always been different opinions on the list of the four most beautiful men in ancient times, but no matter which ranking, Pan An must be on the list, and he is ranked first, so he is recognized as the number one in ancient times. Beautiful man, as the saying goes, "Iron-made Pan An, handsome man with flowing water". Maybe you will question Pan An's handsomeness, thinking that he is not as beautiful as the legend says, but has been exaggerated. This only shows that you are ignorant.
There are many handsome and beautiful men, but very few are as stunning as Pan An. History books only evaluate him in three words, which is "beautiful appearance". Don’t underestimate just three words. It can be regarded as the highest standard for describing a man’s appearance. “Beauty” refers to a very outstanding appearance, “zi” means extraordinary temperament, and “yi” can be understood as a dignified appearance and literary accomplishment. A certain realm.
Pan An, who was born in a Confucian family, has been reading poetry and books since he was a child. Youdao said that "poems and books are in his belly, and he is Chinese". In addition, his appearance is so outstanding that he has become a It immediately became the center of attention everywhere, with a high rate of return. There was an endless stream of people running to admire it and asking for autographs. If Pan An lived in modern times and hosted a live broadcast at random, it is estimated that the platform's server would be down in all likelihood. Rewards would be indispensable, and he would instantly become a highly sought-after internet celebrity.
According to "Shishuo Xinyu": "Pan Yue (Pan An) had a wonderful appearance and a good expression. When he was young, he was taken to Luoyang Road. When a woman meets a woman, she will always linger with her hands and arms." "Translated into vernacular: Every time Pan An goes on the street, even though he is relatively low-key, there are still a large number of fans chasing the carriage he is riding in. Most of them are young girls who have not yet left the court, and there are also some women who are married. As a result, Luoyang City is the most prosperous city. The streets are overcrowded.
In order to express their love for their idol Pan An, fans presented flowers and fruits one after another. Even if Pan An was unwilling to accept them, they would put the gifts in his carriage. Every time after returning home, Pan An's car was filled with all kinds of flowers and fruits, leaving behind the allusion of "throwing fruit into the car", which shows how great Pan An's charm is. Handsome men are usually labeled as scumbags. They are dissatisfied with new ideas, dislike the old, and are half-hearted about relationships.
However, Pan An is different. He is so handsome and unrestrained, and his talents are also very outstanding. He once studied at Luoyang Imperial College and had the most enviable academic qualifications at the time, but he was very dedicated to feelings and only He loves his wife Yang Rongji and is simply a great man. When Pan An was twelve years old, he got engaged to Yang Rongji, who was ten years old. When he grew up, he married Yang Rongji. The two had a good relationship and a deep love for each other. As a husband, Pan An never changed his mind despite the temptation of the colorful world.
More than 20 years later, Yang Rongji died of illness. Pan An was heartbroken and never forgot about his wife. He wrote three mourning poems in succession to commemorate his wife. The sincerity was so touching that even Li Shangyin was very fond of him. Admired by Li Shangyin, he once said: "Only Anren can make sacrifices, and how could Song Yu solve the problem of summoning souls." His handsome appearance, excellent literary talent, and single-minded mentality aroused the jealousy of many people, which led to Pan An's unsatisfactory career and eventually he was punished by the three tribes. , why exactly?
Pan An was unlucky. He took refuge with Queen Jia Nanfeng in his early years, which indirectly led to the deposing of the crown prince. He was beaten and complained about his behavior, and was later demoted to serve as a county magistrate in another place. Not long after, due to his outstanding political achievements, the imperial court transferred him back to the capital and became the chief clerk under Tai Fu Yang Jun. I thought things would turn out differently, but I didn't expect that Yang Jun would be convicted, and his staff would also be punished. Pan An's name must be on the list.
At the critical moment, his friend Gongsun Hong came to help and saved Pan An from death, and sent him to Chang'an as the county magistrate. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Sun Xiu is a complete villain. He used to work under Pan An. Pan An once punished Sun Xiu for making mistakes, and he has been resented by him ever since. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Sima Lun usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Sun Xiu suddenly became the prime minister. He began to take revenge on Pan An.
Sun Xiu, who was successful as a villain, ordered others to fabricate evidence to frame Pan An and Shi Chong for conspiring to rebel. Sima Lun listened to Sun Xiu's slander and ordered the arrest of Pan An and the execution of his three clansmen. There is no need to blame anyone. No one could save Pan An this time. Not only Pan An himself, but also his mother, brothers and children were not spared. How could it be so tragic? As the most beautiful man in ancient times, Pan An's ending is indeed regrettable.
