Didn't Liu Can Lan Zhi die of a peacock flying southeast? Why?

I don't know,

1, reason

China's Traditional and Excessive Filial Piety. Marriage is not based on the feelings of men and women, but on the likes and dislikes of parents and other people's remarks-"the name of parents, the words of matchmakers." Whether parents' likes and dislikes are correct or not, children must accept them unconditionally.

2. Introduction to the original text

Peacock Flying Southeast is the first narrative poem in the history of China literature, and it is also the pinnacle of Yuefu poetry. Later generations praised it and Mulan poems of the Northern Dynasties as "double walls of Yuefu". Peacock Flying Southeast is based on a marriage tragedy in Lujiang County during the reign of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The original title was "Ancient Poems for Jiao Zhongqing's Wife", and it was named because the first sentence of the poem was "Peacock flies southeast and wanders in five miles". The whole poem has more than 350 sentences, 1700 words. Mainly tells the story that Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi were forced to separate and both committed suicide.

3. Significance

Accused the ruthlessness of feudal ethics, and praised Jiao and Liu's sincere feelings and rebellious spirit. As the longest narrative poem in ancient history, "Peacock Flying Southeast" is concise, ingenious and vivid, which not only shapes the image of Liu Jiao and his wife as soul mates and unyielding, but also vividly depicts Jiao Mu's stubbornness and Liu Xiong's insolence. At last, the article conceives the myth that both Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing became peacocks after their death, and places people's strong desire to pursue love freedom and a happy life.

This is a satire on the destruction of feudal ethics, and no one can get rid of this shackles. Therefore, Liu Lanzhi must die in order to explain the cruelty of reality more deeply and make people think.
