Therefore, when Liu Qi was finally recommended to serve as county magistrate in Hangzhou, the news came and prostitutes in Tokyo sobbed. On the day of departure, no one else saw Liu Qi off, but prostitutes!
After reading Yu Shi Ming Yan edited by Feng Menglong, I couldn't help sobbing when I read the twelfth volume. A thousand years later, some contemporary women only have the ability to sell meat, while ancient prostitutes can play chess and calligraphy. Apart from prostitution, their comprehensive quality far exceeds that of their contemporaries.
Looking through the history of ancient Chinese literature, few writers have not had close contact with prostitutes. In other words, many famous books we read today still exude the vanity of prostitutes between the lines.
The twelve volumes of Yu Shi Ming Yan are Liu Yong, the one who wrote "Where do you wake up tonight?" The word "young man, Yang Liuan wind and waning moon" later became a portrayal of the real life of many literati. With a hip flask in one hand and a sweet shoulder in the other, he wrote as many quips and quatrains as possible in a drunken and gentle village!
Yongyong went to Tokyo with his father when he was young. His name is Liu, because he ranks seventh in the family. Liu Yingjun is brilliant, unique in the field of ci, and unwilling to make friends with dignitaries, so he goes to the Chu Pavilion to stay every night, but the famous prostitutes in Beijing don't know him.
Moreover, if a prostitute says that she doesn't know Liu Qi, she will be laughed at and proud to be friends with the first gifted scholar of her time. It can be seen that prostitutes at that time did not necessarily value money, but men's talent. Therefore, prostitutes in Tokyo spread the slogan:
I don't want to wear silk, but I want to follow Liu; If the king doesn't want to call, he is willing to get Liu Qi's phone number. I don't want two thousand gold, I want seven hearts on the willow tree; I don't want to see immortals, but I want to know all aspects of willow trees.
At that time, prostitutes' moral integrity and attention to talents were difficult for contemporary people to achieve.
Liu has no job and is unwilling to support his parents. Three famous prostitutes in Beijing are vying to support him. The three famous prostitutes are Chen Shishi, Zhao Xiangxiang and Lacker. A famous prostitute spent all her money, but she just wanted to sleep with one of the seven officials and get a sentence and a poem. Therefore, when Liu Qi was finally recommended to serve as county magistrate in Hangzhou, the news came and prostitutes in Tokyo sobbed. On the day of departure, no one else saw Liu Qi off, but prostitutes! Seven poems as evidence:
The countryside is shaded by trees and ten teams of red skirts. Say goodbye to each other, and horses and chariots will go quickly. Stealing tears, stealing tears, that is with you!
The word "red skirt" refers to a prostitute, but there are as many as ten lines, and there are endless words. The whole pavilion is a long and short pavilion.
Seven willows reluctantly bid farewell to the capital. Passing Jiangzhou, I heard that there were prostitutes there, so I stopped. When he came to the residence of a prostitute named Xie, Xie was copying Liu Qi's words in his study. When Liu Qi reported himself, Xie immediately knelt down and said, "I wonder if there are any immortals."
You see, all gifted scholars Liu Qi are immortals. Liu and Xie stayed for five days. When breaking up, Xie vowed to be Liu Qi's servant all his life, never to receive guests again, waiting for Liu Qi's return.
Liu Qi returned to Beijing after three years as an official in Hangzhou. The prostitutes in Tokyo cheered, and Liu Qi mingled with them day after day. Who knows that there is a villain complaining about Liu Qi's "style problem", which is detrimental to the image of cadres. Therefore, Liu Qi was dismissed.
After Liu dismissed from office, he became more unruly. Many prostitutes comforted him and asked the bird officer what to do. We will raise you! thank
Xie went to the Western Ocean with Liu Qi two months later and was buried next to Liu Qi's tomb. Since the second year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, prostitutes have come to pay homage to sweep, and the atmosphere has gradually evolved to the people. Others also took part in worship and cleansing, which is called "funeral burial". The place where Liu Qi was buried is called Paradise Scenic Area, and later generations have poems describing it:
In the paradise scenic spot, prostitutes are like clouds, and the seven graves are full of romantic willows. The ridiculous gentry has less pity than all red skirts.
Gentry refers to dignitaries. This poem satirizes that officials at that time were not as talented as prostitutes. Liu Qi's style is more casual, which I think is understandable. How dare people who pursue progress make friends with him? However, Liu Qi was frustrated in the officialdom, and finally had to cherish his talented prostitutes, so that his inspiration never faded, leaving many popular "Liu Ci" for our descendants.
