Introduction: Speaking of female spies in ancient times, we have to mention Xi Shi. She was the woman sent by King Gou Jian of Yue to seduce King Wu Fu Chai. So what was the final outcome of Xi Shi? Let’s find out together! The beauty circulates for thousands of years. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Yue competed for hegemony.
The impression we later had on those elegant Jiangnan scholars who spoke soft and soft words, reciting poems and composing poems and drinking wine in meandering streams in the land of prosperous flowers and willows, in the gentle and prosperous countryside, had not yet matured and taken shape.
At that time, their strong and brave predecessors, armed with long swords and bloody winds, fought desperately in the land of Wu and Yue, and the sky and the earth turned yellow and gray.
Only one woman became the crimson color against this gray and rough background.
It was she, Xi Shi, who gave this miserable and hasty history another dimension, and framed it in a beautiful and soft way.
Since then, Xi Tzu has become a symbol, representing extreme and stunning beauty, representing the unique charm of women, and also representing many other things. She has been repeatedly written about in both secular and elegant cultures, and has entered the world more frequently than any famous beauty in history.
Idioms, sayings, and allusions.
In Chinese language and culture, the word Xi Shi cannot be replaced.
Even, in order to be safe and save trouble, people of all generations have reached a tacit understanding that all the most beautiful and fresh things are simply named after Xi Tzu: that kind of palace pet with gorgeous hair and elegant manners.
The dog is named Shih Tzu; the shellfish clam, with its tender, snow-white little tongue inside, is called Shih Tzu tongue; the puffer fish that gourmets dare to taste, with its light red, particularly delicate and delicious fish white, is called
When Xishi Ru was appointed as the general magistrate of Hangzhou, Su Dongpo liked to hang out in the West Lake.
One day in 1073, he had time to go boating on the lake with his friends.
The sky is bright and the water is beautiful, you can drink wine in the wind and feel at ease.
However, the sky in West Lake changes at every turn. It was clear and sunny just now, but suddenly there were raindrops and flakes of wind.
Fortunately, the West Lake is beautiful in both sunshine and rain, and the most nourishing poem "Drinking from the First Sunny and Later Rain on the Lake" that nourishes the West Lake also flows smoothly to the poet's pen: "The clear water is beautiful when the water is shining, the mountains are beautiful"
The color is empty and the rain is strange.
If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always better to put on light makeup and heavy makeup.
Only the most elegant and gorgeous women can compete with the beauty and charm of West Lake.
Come to think of it, when I was writing, how many beauties from ancient times to the present passed through Su Dongpo's mind.
This one is not consistent enough; that one is lacking a little bit.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred, and an image, as graceful as a startled dragon, leaped into his mind.
As soon as this poem came out, West Lake and Xishi were forever combined.
Zha Shenxing commented: How many West Lake poems have been swept away by the second language, but there is no trace of powder color.
Wu Yan said: Apart from heavy makeup and light sentences, what other words can be compared to the West Lake? It is true that later poets have touched the West Lake, who can be better? Therefore, the West Lake is also known as the West Lake, and the beauty of the West Lake has been described for thousands of years.
Rating.
In addition to this most famous poem, Dongpo also repeatedly calls Xizi and West Lake together in his poems: West Lake is really Xizi, and the smoke trees are dotting the eyebrows.
("Ci Yun Liu Jingwen Deng Jie Pavilion") The light smoke and sparse willows that decorate the West Lake are like the beauty of Xizi; only the West Lake is like Xizi, so it should be euphemistically called Junrong.
("Ci Yun Reply to Ma Zhongyu") Even the West Lake in Yingzhou has also benefited from the glory: Although the West Lake is small, it is still beautiful.
("Yun Delin opens the new West Lake again") How unrestrained Dongpo's talent is, no matter how expressive he writes about the scenery, how swaying his pen is? Sometimes he uses fine tea to describe a beautiful woman, sometimes he uses jade-huan flying swallows to describe body differences, which is always wonderful
Rich and clever, with frequent new ideas.
But he just likes to compare Xizi to West Lake again and again, never afraid of monotonous repetition, and never let West Lake become more involved with other beauties.
Dongpo firmly believed that the most beautiful woman in his mind must be paired with the most pleasant scenery to complement and complement each other.
King Helu of Wu was defeated by the Vietnamese army in the Battle of Li in 496 BC, and he himself died of wounds. The enmity between the two countries deepened.
After Fu Chai succeeded to the throne, he made great efforts and vowed to avenge his father.
Just as Gou Jian took the initiative to challenge, Fu Cha led the Wu army to defeat the Yue army.
Gou Jian was captured. With the assistance of Fan Li, Wen Zhong and other ministers, he bribed the Wu Taizai Bo with generous gifts and beauty, so that he could avoid death.
After that, the king of Yue and his queen waited for the state of Wu to become hostages and treated the king of Wu humbly.
After all kinds of humiliation, the King of Yue finally returned to his country. He worked hard and tried his best to survive. He also adopted Wen Zhong's strategy of offering beautiful women and rare treasures to his husband, making him extravagant and despondent.
In the end, Gou Jian finally led the Vietnamese army to successfully defeat Wu and avenge his previous humiliation.
In total, it has been about 2,490 years since Gou Jian led the Vietnamese army to defeat the Wu division in 473 BC, Fu Chai committed suicide, the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, and Xi Shi left the famous Guanwa Palace.
Time and space have passed, but Xi Shi’s story is still known to women and children.
The most popular version is: Gou Jian was a slave in the State of Wu. After being allowed to return to the country by Fu Chai, after many years of management, the national power of the State of Yue gradually became stronger, but he still did not relax.
He ordered to visit beauties all over the country to continue to confuse King Wu.
Fan Li went to the bank of Huansha River at the foot of Zhuluo Mountain in Zhuji to find Xi Shi, a well-deserved firewood seller (some say Huansha Girl).
After returning to the capital, Xi Shi made her appearance, and she was indeed the most beautiful.
Fan Li and Xi Shi fell in love with each other at this time. Although they were entangled in every possible way and for the sake of the country, they had to put aside their personal relationship and agreed to get married after the destruction of Wu.
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were carefully trained in many ways, decorated with Luo, taught how to walk gracefully, learned in Tucheng, and walked in the alleys of the capital. After three years of learning, they were dedicated to Wu.
("Wu Yue Chun Qiu") He was sent to King Wu Fu Chai. Fu Chai was really dazzled and ignored the government affairs.
