Who are the characters mentioned in the costume TV series?

"Eight beauties of Qinhuai" refers to the eight famous prostitutes in Nanqu of Qinhuai River in Nanjing in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, so it is also called "Eight beauties of Jinling". Who are these eight people? The relevant information is not consistent. In the Ming Dynasty, the old man Yu recorded Liu, Li, Chen Yuanyuan, Koubaimen, Bian Yujing, Li and Dong Xiaowan in Banqiao Miscellanies. Zheng Jingsheng of Taiwan Province Province replaced Ma Xianglan with Zheng Tuoniang in The Mystery of Dong Xiaowan. The book Shunzhi and Princess Hubei, co-authored by Wang Deheng and Chen, has changed a lot. Li Shiniang, Gong and Huang were added, while Koubaimen and Bian Yujing were removed.

Yu, the author of Banqiao Miscellanies, and Eight Colors of Qinhuai are contemporaries and have lived in Jinling for a long time. They are frequent visitors on the Qinhuai River. It seems that what they said is true. In addition, the names of Eight Colors of Qinhuai carved by Ye in the late Qing Dynasty, the description of Eight Colors of Jinling in Rugao Ink Garden, the former residence of Dong Xiaowan and Mao Bijiang, and the novel Dong Xiaowan, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai, co-authored by Liu are also the same as Banqiao Miscellanies. (Zhou) According to

Eight beauties in Qinhuai refer to eight talented women who left sad love stories on the banks of Qinhuai River in Nanjing in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

There are two versions of the eight famous prostitutes in Qinhuai in the late Ming Dynasty:

, Li,,, Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing, Koubaimen, Chen Yuanyuan

Li Xiangjun Li Koumei Chen Liu

Also known as "Jinling Eight Colors". Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing, Li, Kou Baimen and others were written in Banqiao Miscellanies. Later generations called Liu, Chen Yuanyuan the Eight Masters.

The eight of them have several similarities. First, they all have patriotic national integrity. Except Ma Xianglan, all the people in Bayan, Qinhuai experienced the great turmoil of regime change from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. At that time, many corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty were afraid of death and betrayed their country for glory. In sharp contrast with them, the Eight Swallows in Qinhuai, although a woman who is oppressed at the bottom of society, can show lofty national solar terms at the critical moment of national survival. Then, they have high attainments in poetry and painting. All eight of them can write poems and draw pictures, but most of them have been lost. Only Liu's works have been preserved. They are diligent in writing and try their best to express their feelings about life.

The Palace Museum once exhibited "Orchid Scroll" in Ma Xianglan, and the Wuxi Museum also exhibited Dong Xiaowan's butterfly picture in Nanjing. The last point is that they are very loyal to love and friendship. Qinhuai Bamei was forced to go to a brothel. Who ever thought about the life of a comedian? They all want to find a congenial husband for life, but their kindness has always been based on love and friendship, but it has gone through ups and downs. This is certainly the tragedy of women in society at that time, and it also reflects their own noble quality.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost no one did not know the eight beauties of Jinling, who were famous for their beauty and brilliance. There were more than 1000 literati who came here at that time. The fate of many all-powerful historical figures is closely related to them. Beauty loves heroes, and prostitutes love talents. Their brilliance charmed not only ordinary people, but also many heroes and talents, and even changed history.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qinhuai River was full of goulan tiles, singing and dancing, and singing all night. Among them, there are many brothels, full of dusty women's world, and it has become the most prosperous place for singing and dancing in the Ming Dynasty. Many brothels accept virgins whose parents are dead and helpless. They taught him piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, singing and dancing. When I grow up, I will become a signboard in the brothel. Liu, Li, Bian Yujing, Zheng Tuoniang, Koubaimen, Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, the eight beauties of Jinling, were all cultivated into the "stunning" Qinhuai River by brothel women.

Bayan is not only first-class in appearance and figure, but also proficient in poetry, song and dance. What's more commendable is that they care about the world affairs, keep close contact with the writers of Fu She after Lindong's party, give directions and write passionately, and really don't let go of a man. Among them, the love affair between Li, Bian Yujing, Dong Xiaowan and Fang Yizhi and Mao Xiang, the four sons of Jinling, is described as a beautiful talk by contemporary people.

I'm afraid the Four Childes of Jinling was a pivotal figure in the literary world at that time. The complex society founded by them is another important literary society with political color after Lindong Party. The four sons of Jinling are famous families with first-class poetry. Among them, Fang Yizhi was both civil and military, and made many contributions to the Ming Dynasty. He was appointed imperial academy of Emperor Chongzhen. After the demise of the Ming dynasty, he ran for the restoration of the Ming dynasty, and served as the official position of Wang in Nanming and the prime minister of the emperor. When it was a foregone conclusion that the Qing Dynasty unified the whole country, he actively prepared for anti-Qing restoration activities. At that time, thousands of people longed for his name and defected. His grandson Fang Bao was the founder of Tongcheng School.

Liu, Kou Baimen and others in Eight Heroes are all famous historical officials in the late Ming Dynasty. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, many people in Bayan were hunted down for political reasons. Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan also appeared in the lives of all-powerful historical figures at that time.

At that time, Wu Sangui, a general in the late Ming Dynasty, was under Li Zicheng, the king of Zhuang. He took control of the Great Wall fortress and played a vital role in resisting the Qing soldiers. Chen Yuanyuan was given to Wu Sangui with great affection. The two have deep feelings. Later, another of Li Zicheng's men was going to rob Chen Yuanyuan. Wu Sangui was infatuated with her, so he was furious: "I can't even protect a woman with heavy weapons in my hand!" When the general is angry, he becomes a beauty. From then on, Wu Sangui turned against him. After all, it is difficult for the peasant army to defeat the well-trained regular army. The Qing army entered the customs and was wiped out like a gust of wind. Li Zicheng became a tragic hero in history. After the Qing Dynasty unified the world, Wu Sangui was named King Pan of Southwest China because of his high merit. If Chen Yuanyuan hadn't been robbed at that time, Wu Sangui wouldn't have turned against each other. It is still unknown whether there will really be a Great Qing Dynasty in history.

This is a legend, not credible.

Jinling is colorful, and its fate is closely linked with that of the emperor. Behind many historical events, we can find many strange and unusual behaviors of emperors and princes that are difficult for ordinary people to understand from their fate. Heroes love beautiful women, and Jinling is extremely gorgeous!
