1. An interesting story about the Tang Dynasty: In the palace of the Tang Dynasty, in order to win over people's hearts, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty wanted to take a concubine for the prime minister Fang Xuanling. The minister's wife interfered out of jealousy and refused to let him.
Taizong had no choice but to ask the minister's wife to choose between drinking poisonous wine or taking a concubine.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fang was indeed a bit staunch and would rather die than bow her head in front of the emperor.
So he picked up the cup of "poisonous wine" and drank it in one gulp.
When Mrs. Fang finished the drink with tears in her eyes, she realized that the glass was not poisonous wine, but strong vinegar with a sweet and sour aroma.
Since then, "jealousy" and "jealousy" have been fused, and "jealousy" has become a metaphor for jealousy.
2. Interesting customs of the Tang Dynasty: 1. Swing custom: Swinging was popular during the Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival in the Tang Dynasty. It did not require much physical strength, and the venue was not restricted. Its movements were light and its postures were graceful. It was popular among women, especially women.
The palace ladies loved it, and it was also known as the "half-immortal play" in the court, which shows its high admiration.
Wang Wei once wrote a famous saying: "The Cuju flies over the flying birds many times, and the swings compete with each other out of the weeping poplar trees."
At that time, people believed that swinging on the swing could drive away demons and evil diseases and bring peace and good fortune. Every household would tie red cloth on the beams of the swing. There are more than 30 poems describing the scene of young girls swinging on the swing in "The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty".
