How cold is the cold kiln in the story of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan?

Speaking of the love story between Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan, I think many netizens have heard about it. The love story of these two people is also very sad. What impressed me here was the cold kiln. Many people still remember it, right? How cold is this place? Let's follow me to reveal the secret!

Cold kiln is not cold, just a name. Wang Baochai did not abandon Xue Pinggui, and Xue Pinggui did not abandon Wang Baochai when he was in power. Their love broke through the feudal secular concept and never gave up, which is worth learning from the world.

There is a dilapidated cave in Wujiapo near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the south of Xi. The cave is engraved with the word "ancient cold kiln". According to legend, Wang Baochuan stayed in the cold kiln for 18 years, waiting for her husband Xue Pinggui to come back. Wang Baochuan was the daughter of Wang Yun, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Wang Yun has no sons, only three dry gold as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade. The two sisters are well matched, and parents want to find a son-in-law for their little daughter.

At that time, the area south of Chang 'an was surrounded by mountains and waters with beautiful scenery. Whenever bloom is warm in spring, the royal family, literati and poor people in Chang 'an, the capital of Beijing, like to come here to enjoy flowers and play in the water. This spring, Wang Baochuan also came to the southern suburbs for an outing with a few maids, only to meet a group of romantic childe to follow. At this time, a young scholar in shabby clothes next to him couldn't stand it anymore and boldly stepped forward to stop the rude behavior of this group of people. These villains swarmed and punched and kicked the scholar. The scholar only made a slight gesture, and with a slight bump, he knocked the worthless sons of Jinyi upside down. Knowing that they were no match for the scholar, they walked away swearing.

Wang Baochuan secretly admired the scholar's kung fu and courage. Seeing that the group of romantic childe had gone away, he quickly came forward to salute and thank him. The scholar was a little shy and repeatedly said, "It's natural, you don't have to be polite!" " "The more polite the scholar is, the more Wang Baochuan appreciates him and is full of praise. After a while, the two became acquainted. The scholar only said that his name was Xue Pinggui, his parents were dead, and his family was ruined, leaving him alone. In Wang Baochuan's view, this scholar is not only skilled in martial arts, but also knowledgeable and polite. Although he is poorly dressed, he can't hide his momentum and can't help but admire him. So they played together, singing birds and flowers all the way, lingering in spring, and a warm feeling echoed between them. Xue Pinggui knew that he was the daughter of the Prime Minister. He is not only handsome in appearance, but also so refined and unpretentious in manner, dignified and not arrogant, which really fascinates him, but he is ashamed to compete with him. When we parted at dusk, our eyes were full of attachment and disappointment.

Soon, my father urged my third daughter to get married quickly. Wang Baochuan had a brainwave and put forward the method of throwing hydrangea to decide lifelong events, and Wang Fu agreed. Baochuan thought that as soon as the news that he threw the wedding ball came out, his lover Xue Pinggui would come to attend, and then it was up to him to decide which side the hydrangea would fall on. Wang Fu secretly decided that until that day, he would tighten the door and let only some sons with status in. The rule of throwing the ball is "chicken marries chicken, dog marries dog", and those poor boys should not be allowed to take advantage. So the Wangs set up a tall colorful building in the yard, and set a good date for choosing a mate by throwing hydrangeas three times. After the news came out, the well-known sons rushed to the Wangs one after another, because everyone had already heard about Wang Jiasan's talent and appearance, and he was the daughter of the prime minister, and they all wanted to try their luck. The gate of the Wangs is really strict, and people who are not prominent are absolutely not allowed in. Smart Baochuan asked the personal maid who went on a spring outing with Xue Gongzi to quietly find Xue Pinggui outside the hospital, and asked her to take Xue Pinggui into the hospital through a side door.

The auspicious moment has arrived. After a burst of firecrackers, a colorful hydrangea is standing upstairs, and one is wearing a bright little hand. The dudes dressed in red and green in the yard downstairs caused a sensation, craning their necks to look forward to a godsend marriage. Wang Baochuan smiling, jade wrist, hydrangea, impartial, is playing in the corner of the courtyard cloth childe Xue Pinggui's head. When Wang Yun saw that the son-in-law who was thrown into the hydrangea turned out to be a young man in rags, he was furious and resolutely opposed at once. It turned out that Baochuan, who was crossed in his heart, knew that his father was poor and broke his promise. At this point, Baochuan decided not to let his father manipulate his lifelong events and married his sweetheart Xue Pinggui. Wang Yun broke off the father-daughter relationship with her in a rage.

At this time, Xue Pinggui had no place to live, so they moved into an old cave in Wujiapo. In the cold kiln, the husband and wife lived a hard life, but fortunately, the husband and wife respected each other and lived alone. That hard life was quite delicious. Although Wang Baochuan's father broke up with her, her mother couldn't give up this lovely little girl. She sends people to visit them from time to time and gives them some money to continue their lives. In the ninth year of Xian Tong, there was a rebellion on the border of Guizhou, which captured the frontier town and pushed northward. The imperial court sent troops to crusade, and in order to strengthen its forces, it also asked Shatuo troops to join the army to help. Xue Pinggui, who is both civil and military, joined Shatuo's army. Wang Baochuan is so reluctant to leave her husband, but Xue Lang is a great man with talent and knowledge, and he can't stay with him all his life. She dried her tears, packed for Xue Lang, and waved him to fight.

In the Shatuo army, Xue Pinggui was gradually valued by Zhu Xie, the leader, for his excellent martial arts and talents. After putting down the rebellion, Xue Pinggui had no time to return to Chang 'an to visit his long-lost wife, so he was stationed in Datong with the army. On one occasion, Xue Pinggui went hunting in the suburbs with the chief's family, and when he reached the edge of the cliff, the mount of Princess Chunhua, the daughter of Zhu Xie's red heart, was suddenly frightened out of control, and her hoof flew and almost fell off the cliff. Xue Pinggui, who followed closely, ran forward, stretched out his arm and tried to stop the princess's horse. Two horses came to the hillside, and Xue Pinggui dismounted to help the frightened Princess Chunhua, the little princess in the seed of love. When she saw that the rescuer was a handsome young Han warrior, she couldn't help but jump into Xue Pinggui's arms.

From that day on, Princess Chunhua fell madly in love with Xue Pinggui. Xue Pinggui has been waiting for him in Chang 'an cold kiln with his wife Wang Baochuan in his arms. He doesn't want to betray her sincere love. However, I have been unknown in Shatuo's army. If I don't grasp the step of Princess Chunhua, it will be difficult to get promoted in the future. Besides, if I annoy the princess, I don't know if I can stay here. After careful consideration, Xue Pinggui became the "Xu Ye" of Chief Shatuo, and his position in Shatuo's army naturally soared. Of course, he won't forget his married wife. He sent messengers to Wang Baochuan many times, bringing letters and silk to help the Iraqi people's lives, while Tang Ting's special envoy came to Datong to comfort them. Of course, he didn't tell her that he got married here. Wang Baochuan in the cold kiln has always been determined, making a living by spinning, and waiting for her lover to return home wholeheartedly.

Year after year passed, and Xue Pinggui never came home. Later, I never heard from you again. Did Xue Lang change his mind? No, this is a violent political turmoil. Xue Pinggui followed Shatuo's army to Yinshan. Yinshan and Chang 'an are far away, and there is no news. Xue Pinggui thought I don't know when to reunite with Bao Chuan. One year, the situation in Chang 'an was urgent and the Tang Dynasty lacked military strength. Shatuo soldiers helped Beijing to fight and save Tang.

Xue Pinggui came to Chang 'an with the army, and Xue Pinggui, who retired after success, went to the cold kiln in Wujiapo alone, and finally met his long-lost wife Wang Baochuan. Husband and wife meet and cry from noon to dusk. Wang Baochuan finally walked out of the cold kiln and was connected to Xue Pinggui's house. After eighteen years of hard work, Wang Baochuan finally has a happy family. And the story of Wang Baochuan's eighteen years' hard work in the cold kiln has become a legendary story.

Although this story is not recorded in historical materials, Wang Baochuan remained faithful to love, did not bow to feudal forces, and endured hardships for eighteen years, which fully demonstrated the noble sentiments of hardworking, brave, honest and loyal working women in ancient China, and thus won the sympathy and love of working people, which was passed down from generation to generation. It is said that the cave where she lives is called "cold kiln" (meaning poor cold kiln).

Nowadays, there are few shepherd's purse (a kind of wild vegetable) in the farmland near Qujiangchi. People say that Wang Baochuan dug it up when he was eating bran. In particular, the play "Wudianpo" has been staged for a long time since the Ming Dynasty, making the cold kiln famous. At that time, there were many temples and lush trees here, and people from all counties around Xi 'an went to worship. When visiting the cold kiln inside, the first thing that catches people's eyes is an exquisite small corner pavilion, named "Sifu Pavilion", which is a symbol of Wang Baochuan's climbing the mountain and looking forward to her husband's early return. After passing Sifu Pavilion and walking along the south slope, there are five halls at the foot of the cliff, which are called "Zhenlie Hall", with blue bricks and tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, which are very magnificent. In the temple, there are colorful statues of Wang Baochuan and Xue Pinggui, as well as images of Xue Pinggui surrendering to the red-maned spirited horse. Follow this line and enter a round brick door, which is the ancient courtyard of the cold kiln. There are two colorful buildings on the cliff, with upturned cornices and rustled pavilions. The following two kilns are "Bie Kiln" and "Exploration Kiln", where Wang Baochuan Bev and his mother poured wine to explore the statue of a woman. This is based on two plots in the drama Wudianpo. Going up the stairs from the "Bieyao" and passing through the Fairy Cave is the "Ruku Cave". According to legend, this is Wang Baochuan's humble abode. There is only a small heatable adobe sleeping platform in the cave. There is only a small window one foot square on the wall in front of the heatable adobe sleeping platform. The window frame is a few bent branches. It was dark in the cave, and there was only room for two people to turn around under the heatable adobe sleeping platform. To the east of the courtyard outside the window is the "Demon Horse Cave". According to legend, the cave where the demon horse was released in Xue Pinggui at this moment is 100 meters long, narrow and tortuous, dark and cold, and tourists need to grope before they can move forward. Out of another hole, into the back ditch. This is the location of Yichun Garden in Qin and Han Dynasties, with beautiful scenery and carefree beauty.
