Which celebrities live in Qinhuai?

At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, touching legends have been circulating along Qinhuai River, among which Qinhuai Eight Colors are the most popular. A generation of beautiful women, whether sad or crazy, are all talented women with a long history, which are left to future generations to comment on.

Qinhuai Bayan

Dong Xiaowan

Dong Xiaowan is a native of Jinling, and her talent is the highest among Qinhuai geisha. "The natural posture is smart and beautiful." She loves Li Bai very much and compares herself to Li Bai. She painted many poems and paintings. A butterfly she painted when she was fifteen years old is still in Wuxi Museum. The love between her and Mao Bijiang, because Mao Bijiang wrote an article "Memories of Mei Ying 'an" to commemorate her, made them the most admirable erotic story of the combination of talented people and beautiful women in Qinhuai brothel. Dong Xiaowan's story of crossing the border with a talented person and a beautiful woman is similar to some stories in Pu Songling's Liaozhai. Mao Bijiang is an outstanding romantic talent, but he is poor. After he fell in love with Dong Xiaowan, it was the money that paid 3,000 yuan for Dong Xiaowan to be redeemed and let them grow old together.

After the demise of Nanming, Mao Bijiang did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty like Qian, Gong Dingshan, but left Nanjing and fled abroad. After Mao and Dong fled to Yancheng, Mao Bijiang was unfortunately seriously ill. Dong Xiaowan waited on him and took good care of him, which kept him alive. But Dong Xiaowan became seriously ill because of overwork. After fleeing to Rugao, Jiangsu, a few days later, a generation of famous prostitutes was destroyed in troubled times at the age of 27.

Bian Yujing

Wu Meicun wrote a poem for Wu Sangui, "Mourning all six armies, rushing to the crown and being angry is beautiful". Wu Meicun was a great poet as famous as Qian in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is a famous scenic spot in Nanjing-Jiming Temple, where Wu Meicun once lived. The love between Wu Meicun and Bian Yujing, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai, is a euphemistic and sad story, which almost influenced Wu Meicun's later life. Especially in Wu Meicun's later years, Wu Meicun wrote many poems to regret this love.

Mei Ku

"Water is like a horizontal eye". Mei Ku, who claimed to be Mrs. Yokobo, enjoyed all the splendor before her death and got a grand ceremony after her death. As Mrs. Shangshu, she was awarded the title of "one-product knighthood" by the Qing Empire. After his death, all the nobles and scholars in Beijing went to mourn. In many places, especially south of the Yangtze River, scholars hold memorial ceremonies. But her most romantic experience is a love story with Huai Yu, the author of Banqiao Miscellanies.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the reputation of Qinhuai geisha was in full swing. Qinhuai geisha is somewhat different from geisha in other places. Qinhuai geisha is the product of Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrat culture. Many years after Gu Mei's death, Yuan Mei, a great poet in Qing Dynasty, still praised her. According to research, the Grand View Garden in A Dream of Red Mansions was written according to Suiyuan, where Yuan Mei lived. Helpless, it was burned by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom together with more than 300,000 books of Yuan Mei.

Liu

I remember that unofficial history Zhongji was first born in Guijiayuan, Shengze. Her real name is Yang, love, and Liu is "Yu". Fu, the leader of Fushe, was the first greasy guest to record her intimate relationship. This is a very important clue to her relationship with the political circles in the late Ming Dynasty when she began to enter the society. Then there is a famous story. So the Confucian scholars dressed up and went to Songjiang to visit Chen Wozi, handed in a business card and called themselves "female brothers". She wants to marry Chen Zilong. This karma has achieved nothing. Unofficial history said that Chen Zilong was "evil in nature and inaccessible", which seems to be not the real reason.

Hsiang Chun Li

Li was a famous prostitute in Qinhuai in the late Ming Dynasty. She is the most romantic tragic figure in the downfall of Nanming. From Li, we can see a microcosm of Nanming's tragedy. Li studied all the skills of artists since childhood. She is proficient in all kinds of beautiful poems, music, bamboo slips and pipa. She is especially good at Nanqu and has a sweet voice, which has won the appreciation of tourists all over the world. Hou Fangyu, a native of Henan, came to Jinling to apply for a job because he admired Jiangnan culture. Hou Fangyu is charming and talented, and is a celebrity of "Fu She". He met Mao Bijiang, Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi on the Qinhuai River, and called them the four sons. They gather in Qinhuai Louguan all day, talking about poetry and having fun with prostitutes. Wu once described his dissolute life in Qinhuai Opera House. "Recently, he was furious and extravagant, and spent a lot of money to get drunk." The old singer and the young man are lying as wild as fools. "It is conceivable that four childe in qinhuai song building with laughter.

Ma Xianglan

In the corner of Xinghualou, spring pigeons are singing, and Shen Shuixiang is lazy to go downstairs. Cut the pomegranate into a new look, and don't let anyone see the jade hook.

This poem was written by a poet named Lu at that time. He laughed at the new skirt, which covered his feet and made people invisible. Ma Xianglan is not only famous for her poems, plays and paintings, but also famous for her big feet among Qinhuai geisha.

Although Ma Xianglan is a singer, she never receives vulgar customers. She herself is highly accomplished in painting, calligraphy and drama. Modern Ci Hai contains Ma Xianglan's ci poems. She fell in love with Wang Dengya, a talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, and has always loved him deeply. On Wang Dengya's seventieth birthday, she specially raised funds to buy a big boat and led hundreds of prostitutes from Qinhuai to Wang Fu, Suzhou to celebrate Wang Dengya's birthday. Wherever the ship went, it was spectacular for a while, and people along the coast rushed to see the beauty of Qinhuai geisha. When she was 50 years old, her beauty remained the same. She was also pursued by a young man and proposed to her. Ma Xianglan replied: "There is a brothel woman who is over 500 years old. She picked up a dustpan and broom to be her new wife." . Ma Xianglan's words became a beautiful talk for a while.

Ma Xianglan was buried under Bifeng Temple in Bailuzhou Park beside Qinhuai River after his death. Although she is a geisha, she still occupies a place in Qinhuai culture and China culture.

Koubaimen

Kou Baimen walked out of the brothel at the age of eighteen and married Zhu Guobi, a hero of the small court in Nanming. At that time, the wedding ceremony was the biggest grand wedding in Nanjing since the Ming Dynasty. According to the rules at that time, the wedding of prostitutes must be held quietly at night. However, regardless of etiquette, Zhu Guobi carried Koubaimen in a sedan chair with eight colors. Five thousand soldiers stood in front of Zhu's house in Nanjing Wuding Bridge with double "hi" lanterns. Blowing all the way, the suona was deafening and the salute was empty. A brothel singer's wedding actually surpassed that of a rich woman. This moved Koubaimen all his life. So later, the small court in Nanming failed and Zhu Guobi was imprisoned in Beijing. In order to survive, Zhu Guobi intends to sell all the maids at home to redeem his life. Although Kou Baimen was saddened by Zhu Guobi's disloyalty, after making a decision with Zhu Guobi, he still raised 22,000 gold for Zhu Guobi.

Since then, Kou Baimen has returned to Qinhuai Opera House, where he indulged in dreams every day, got together with literati and poets, and unfortunately fell ill. At that time, there was a scholar named Han Sheng who was related to Koubaimen. However, during Koubaimen's illness, one night, when Koubaimen begged him to sleep beside her, Han Sheng pushed Koubaimen's hand away, abandoned her and molested one of her handmaids in the next room. After listening to this, Koubaimen was heartbroken and his condition became more and more urgent. A few days later, a generation of chivalrous and affectionate prostitutes died tragically.

Yuanyuan Chen

Chen Yuanyuan, like The Story Of Diu Sim and Shi, played a "disaster" role in major events at the critical moment of history. She not only made Wu Sangui furious, but also led the Qing soldiers into the customs. She also gave the big fellow Jiangshan to Manchu, and accused Wu of being a big traitor. At the same time, she also let Li Zicheng, known as a million-man army, completely fail. A geisha played a big joke on the historical hero when the historical situation changed suddenly.

Chen Yuanyuan's story was deposited in Qinhuai River like the dregs of history. When history faded, some light began to shine on her. Lu Ciyun, a Qing Dynasty person, described her in "A New Record of Jade Beginning", saying that "the sound is absolutely out of the world, and the color is absolutely out of the world". Because of this, she brought disaster to the Han people who still went to China. And this disaster has been going on for hundreds of years. The closed-door policy of the Qing Dynasty, the entry of Eight-Nation Alliance, the burning of Yuanmingyuan and the signing of treaty of nanking are the continuation of this disaster.
