Who did ancient Qin Xianglian refer to?

Qin Xianglian, a traditional opera figure in China, has been regarded as a victim of the patriarchal era for many years, and is a typical example worthy of sympathy. In contrast, her husband, Chen Shimei, whose name is well-known to all women and children, has simply become synonymous with "liking the new and hating the old" and "moral corruption", so that if someone is called "Chen Shimei" today, it means that that person has been publicly sentenced to life imprisonment by a moral court, his image and social achievements will be greatly reduced, and even his future life path may undergo earth-shaking changes.

It is Chen Shimei's moral difference that reflects Qin Xianglian's loneliness and helplessness in front of the public, which really makes people feel sympathy and tears. But to tell you the truth, I don't think highly of Qin Xianglian, and I think his practice really misled the sight and ideas of future generations. I don't agree with what Chen Shimei did, and I don't encourage more people from Chen Shimei to appear today. I just look at Qin Xianglian from the perspective of life itself and find that she really doesn't deserve everyone's sympathy.

I believe that when Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian got married, they must be a suitable person who was very happy with you, and I certainly didn't intend to divorce. A marriage can last for a long time, and the important factor must be coordination, mutual trust and support. In Qin Xianglian's view, it is worthy of respect to support men to compete for fame and fortune. However, it is obviously smart to regard this kind of effort as the seed of "sowing a millet in spring" and expect to harvest 10 thousand grains in autumn one day, which is very risky. Although Qin Xianglian was not born in an era when women could be independent and self-reliant, she may not have never heard of the exclamation of "repenting her husband to find a seal" in past dynasties. It is said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If you lift your husband to a height you can't reach, you may bear all the consequences of an unbalanced marriage. Just imagine, if Qin Xianglian nagged all day and only let Chen Shimei have a village pavilion at most, there would never be such an earth-shattering tragedy. Qin Xianglian's heart is higher than the sky, but he doesn't want to be rich. His life is as thin as paper without happiness.

Qin Xianglian is actually a very vicious woman. If you don't get it, it's ruined. Chen Shimei betrayed her and completely destroyed him with the help of the so-called organization. If he can't get it himself, he can't enjoy a rich life. Straw cutter, want to come to Baolongtu, there is no specific and detailed principle division, and there is no judicial justice. A weak woman dragged her child and cried to tell the grievances of being abandoned. It is natural that the Chief Executive was furious and killed them first. Chen Shimei's head fell to the ground, and Qin Xianglian certainly stopped crying. The purpose has been achieved. He looked coldly at the shock and sadness of the princess and the queen mother, and took a pair of orphans home to be his widow. Every time I think about it, I feel a chill seeping from my spine: Chen Shimei died at the hands of this woman after all. He is the top scholar among men, and this Qin Xianglian is also a rare hero among women. You hate me and poison me, so this couple is a perfect match.

From the perspective of Chen Shimei as a man, marrying a woman should be to make a living, but she is forced to expect her husband's success all day. One day, if I'm in Longmen, I look back at Chai Men Mountain's wife and ask for multiple returns as a hero, only to find that the difference is too big to be coordinated. Princess Xu over there, suitable, rich and prosperous, changed conditions, the result naturally changed. At the same time, the so-called moral force can't solve this dilemma. You can imagine his helplessness and sadness before his death.

What is Qin Xianglian's sympathy? A woman can't blame others for being rude. There is no essential difference between a divorced woman and a widow. Qin Xianglian's choice and practice prove that she is by no means a kind person. In a society ruled by man, the dignity of individual life is often violated unscrupulously. I believe no man wants to be Chen Shimei. When the contradictions accumulated in the past cannot reconcile the earth-shaking changes in the future, men are wrong to choose anyway. Just because of marrying a woman like Qin Xianglian, it is like a machine that winds up at any time and needs constant struggle. When some results were finally achieved, women's own conditions could not keep up with the changes, so everything was destroyed by this smart-looking but stupid woman.

For thousands of years, we have been living in a pan-moral social environment. Morality has become a fig leaf. As long as the conduct is tenable, what this person has done in his life will be more easily recognized by the society. On the contrary, as long as there are some so-called stains on the so-called morality, all other Excellence will be finished, and his social life will be regarded as an alternative career. Some of Clinton's private lives are disorderly, but this does not prevent him from becoming a great president. If this matter is put on any official in our country, his political career will come to an end and all his previous efforts will not be recognized. At this time, moral ability was exaggerated and lost its original function. Chen Shimei is at least the top scholar of the dynasty. He has talent and ambition to show, and he can make more contributions to society. But he was beheaded. He was beheaded, not because he had any political achievements as an official, but because he had moral defects. If he continues to marry Qin Xianglian against his will, he can continue to live. In this sense, Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian are symbols and their tragedies are the tragedies of a very long time. As long as there are people who pity Qin and spit on Chen, it is impossible to avoid such a tragic moral tragedy from happening again.

Generally speaking, people who tell stories and sing operas have the habit of reporting themselves as soon as they appear. Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian both mentioned in the drama My Beauty that they are Zhou Junren from Huguang. So, where is Huguang Zhou Jun? Huguang was a province from the Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. Including present-day Hubei and Hunan. Zhou Jun is located in Hubei Province, which is now danjiangkou city.

Regarding whether there really are Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian in the history of Zhou Jun, people in danjiangkou city are almost unanimous: "Chen Shimei is from Danjiang." "Qin Xianglian is from Qinjialou, Laojun County, Liu Liping." ...

If Zhou Jun has Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian in history, are there any historical documents or cultural relics to prove it? The 76-year-old child spent 10 years to find out the ins and outs of Chen Shimei, collected a large number of literature and history materials and folklore, and wrote a 400,000-word monograph "The Secret History of Chennian Valley". Surprisingly, Mr Tong Lao thinks that there is no such person as Chen Shimei in history. The prototype of Chen Shimei in My Case-solving is a man named Chen Niangu.

Not only that, Mr Tong Lao also thinks that Chen Niangu in life and Chen Shimei in opera are diametrically opposite figures. He said, when I was a child, I heard the old man say that Chen Shimei in the play was Laogu.

Chen Niangu is an honest official. He didn't offend his classmates for personal gain, and his classmates deliberately wrote a script to insult him. I've been trying to figure this out.

In Mr. Tong Lao's book, Chen Shimei has become an ancient valley. They are all surnamed Chen, but there is a difference between the two words.

Chennian Valley is from Zhou Jun. Born in the first five years of the Ming Dynasty, he is smart and studious. In the eighth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, Chen Niangu was admitted as a juren, and in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, he was admitted to Jinshi. Chennian Valley has been used by the emperor shunzhi for many times because of its outstanding achievements. He served as deputy minister and chief secretary of the inspection department of Sishidao, Guizhou Province. In the tenth year of Kangxi, Chen Niangu was promoted to doctor and assistant minister. In the 23rd year of Kangxi, he returned to China with his wife.

According to the textual research of Mr. Tong Lao, Chennian Valley is not only smooth in officialdom, but also understandable in moral quality, and there is no greed for money to kill his wife and children.

Moreover, Tong also found that Chennian Valley's nickname is Cooked Beauty, which he came up with when he was at school. Because at that time, scholars were rarely commensurate with their names, but generally with their font sizes. According to his font size, we can also call Laogu Chen Shumei. In this way, Chennian Valley and Chen Shumei are equivalent.

Chen Shumei and Chen Shimei are very close, separated by only one word.

Since Chen Shumei is the prototype of Chen Shimei's life, how can we explain that the records and legends of Chen Shumei and his wife are so different, because she has outstanding political achievements, never been a husband or abandoned a bad wife? Besides, Chen Shumei was a native of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. How could Bao Zheng of the Song Dynasty be defeated?

How did My Case-solving come out?

According to children's textual research, the play was compiled as follows: In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty, your classmates Qiu Menglin and Hu Mengdie all sought official positions from Beijing, but they were politely refused after being told the truth. Qiu and Hu were greatly dissatisfied. They think that Chen Shumei helped him when he was studying. Now that his career is over, he is ungrateful and doesn't care about old feelings.

Qiu Menglin and Hu Mengdie, who returned home with a grudge, arrived in Nanyang, Henan Province and met the local opera pipa. The two saw that the play was ungrateful, so they made a plan. They did not hesitate to spend money and asked the troupe to transform the story of pipa according to their own wishes. The ungrateful hero in the trick was replaced by their bitter Chen Shumei, who invented a new play that they thought was better than the pipa.

The content of the play is similar, but the name has been changed. I dare not use my real name to hide my eyes and ears. Instead, they turned Chen Shimei and Chen Shimei into Xu. The performance of The Story of Pipa in Henan, Shaanxi and Hubei really resonated with the audience. Later, according to the wishes of the audience, it was adapted into Chen Shimei, and Bao Qingtian won the prize.

As a result, the events of the Qing Dynasty were "deduced" to the Song Dynasty, and the title of the play became My Beautiful Case.

What Qiu and Hu didn't expect was that they vented their personal grievances on impulse, which led to an irreparable historical injustice.

We did find Qiu Menglin's name in the list of Jinshi in previous editions of County Records. He and Chen Shumei were scholars in the same year, which further proved their classmates' theory.

As another hero in the play, Chen Shimei's wives, Mr. Qin Xianglian and Mr. Tong, believe that Qin Xianglian and Chen Shimei are both dramatic figures and artistic images. Her real life prototype is Qin Xinlian, a native of Qinjialou, Liu Liping, Zhou Jun. She is Chen Shumei's second wife. Husband and wife respect each other as guests, grow old together, and there is no plot made up in the play at all. In order to hide from others, the dramatist changed Qin Xinlian to Qin Xianglian.

In danjiangkou city, we have heard many times that Zhou Jun has never performed My Case.

Peng Shubin, former head of danjiangkou city Henan Opera Troupe, said that he just never acted. After liberation, although no one took it seriously, they didn't act. Because no one saw it and there was no box office. As for me, I played Chen Shimei, but that was somewhere else. When I was the head of the regiment, our regiment once wrote and rehearsed a play at 1985, which was to intercede for Chen Shimei.

After all, the book "The Secret History of Chennian Valley" and the play "Chen Shimei Shouts Injustice" are literary and artistic creations, which are inevitably romantic. Danjiangkou literature and history materials have discussed this matter.

Zhou Jun has never performed "My Beautiful Case".

Danjiangkou literature and history materials were compiled by CPPCC danjiangkou city Literature and History Information Committee. It is an extension and supplement of local chronicles, serious and reliable.

In the first series of this literature and history data, we saw an article "People and Things in Chen Shimei". The article comes straight to the point: It is an indisputable fact that Zhou Jun has an old valley, and the focus of the dispute is whether Chen Shimei alludes to Chen Shumei.

Cai, former vice chairman of danjiangkou city, said that three old people could prove that Chennian Valley was mature and beautiful. One of them is Chen Tang, a retired teacher from the former No.1 Middle School. He is the tenth generation descendant of Chennian Valley. He once heard from his grandfather that his great-great grandfather's name was Chennian Valley with a beautiful name, and there was a cenotaph behind his house. He also heard that Chen Shimei was alluding to Chennian Valley.

In the attitude of being responsible for history and future generations, the three old people confirmed each other and figured out the origin of the beauty of the old valley: Mencius wrote in the article "On Gao Zizhang": "The harvest of the five grains is also the beauty of planting; If you are unfamiliar, it is better to be awkward. Furen also cares about familiarity. " Chen Niangu thought he was called Niangu, and Xiaomi was only beautiful when it was ripe, so he named it Cooked Beauty.

The article also fully affirmed the insults and taunts of old classmates in Chennian Valley, and the main facts were exactly the same as those described in children's books.

The tenth generation grandson of Chennian Valley has passed away. We know that Chen Tang has a younger brother named Chen. He is still alive and lives in Wuhan. Old Chen Man Miracle has a happy family. His lover is a teacher and has retired. They have two daughters and a son. They should be the eleventh generation grandchildren of Chennian Valley.

For the story of Chen Niangu and later Chen Shimei, Chen Miracle heard it from his grandfather and father long ago. Chen said that when I was young, I saw ancestral tablets enshrined in shrines at home, including Chen Yiqi and Chennian Valley. I still clearly remember that Chen Niangu's nickname is Shumei, and his tomb is behind my house. Later, the water reservoir was flooded. When I was young, my father said that when my grandfather was young, a troupe from Henan came to our county to perform My Beautiful Case. At that time, my grandfather's four brothers invited some relatives and friends. When they arrived at the theater, they smashed the theater box, beat the actors and drove the troupe out of the county. Since then, the play has never been staged in our county.

A legend can reflect a period of history. How many legends can a period of history deduce? For this story, can we conclude that Chen Shimei is Chen Shumei, because this is the goal that playwrights are eager to achieve; But Chen Shumei was not Chen Shimei, because Chen Shumei was not ungrateful and killed his wife and children.

We don't need to reverse Chen Shimei's conviction, because he is just a character in a fictional play. We also don't need to reverse Chen Shumei's conviction, because Chen Shumei has been aboveboard all his life, and there is no reversal.

We just need to let people know about a period of history and know that Chen Shumei named Chen Shimei is a good man.
