Cao Cao spent a lot of money to save Cai Wenji. What is the story between them?

The Three Kingdoms is an era when men fought in the battlefield and made great achievements. The glory of civil servants and military commanders shines in each other and has been passed down to this day.

Chae Yeon, like a rose suddenly sprouting from the desert, is not so dazzling, but it is also amazing.

She is one of the few female figures recorded in history books. Although she is not a queen-level figure like Wu Zetian, she is also talented and can save her husband's life by herself, which has the function of wringing Kun. Two thousand years later, historians are still quite curious about her, and will not hesitate to get to the bottom of it because they are flushed in the debate.

What kind of woman is this?

1. Cai Yan, from a famous family in Zaohui, named Wenxi, was born in Pixian County, Chenliu County (now Qixian County, Henan Province), and was a famous writer. She is the only daughter of Cai Yong, a literary master of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and her mother's name is Zhao Dancer.

According to the Records of the Later Han Dynasty, the wife of Chen Zuo Dong Si, the daughter of Cai Yong in the same county, was named Yan, whose name was Yuexi. Knowledgeable, eloquent, and better than temperament. Historically, Cai Wenji was knowledgeable since he was a child, and he learned music well. This is due to the excellent genes and glorious traditions in her family.

Cai Wenji was originally from Guanlong area, and his great-grandfather moved to Qixian county. Her grandfather Cai Ling and her second grandfather Cai Zhi broke up that year. Grandpa stayed in Qixian, and the second grandpa moved to Luoyang.

Cai family is a big family in Qixian county. Cai Yong's previous generations were all businessmen, and his family was very rich. However, the status of businessmen in that era was not high. In Cai Yong's generation, the Cai family gave up business and embarked on a career.

Father Cai Yong is knowledgeable and well-read. His calligraphy is praised by the world and he has made great achievements in literature. His works have been passed down to this day. Cai Yong, knowledgeable in astronomy, long temperament, like a great genius. Because of his well-off family, Cai's family has a lot of books, and Yang Ci, a famous man in the late Han Dynasty, and even Cao Cao are frequent visitors to his family.

When Cai Yong was 45 years old, she had Cai Wenji, her only daughter, so Cai Wenji was very favored since childhood. Cai Yong passed on her unique skills, and as a talented woman with high IQ, she was also passed on by Teacher Cai.

Saint Amethyst also said: Cai Wenji can play the piano.

Impressed, Cai Wenji is not only precocious, but also can often ask celebrities for advice, and he is very talented in music.

According to Zhu Wenchang's Qin History in Song Dynasty, when Cai Wenji was 65,438+00 years old, her father discovered his musical talent and began to teach her to learn piano. After only two years, Wenxi achieved something in piano art.

In the Preface to Hu Jia's Songs in the Tang Dynasty, it was said that "Cai Wenji is good at playing the piano, which can help him leave Luan and throw himself into a crane", which shows that his piano skills are extremely high.

Cai's family education is very strict. Cai Wenji once wrote a "woman's commandment", which probably means that a woman should pay attention to her external image, always take care of her skin and keep her mind at peace. Do your hair well, don't mess it up, it's rude.

Paying equal attention to beauty and wisdom is not an empty talk in Cai Wenji. She is not only brilliant, outstanding in temperament, but also has the ability to sink fish and fall geese, so she has many fans and followers. Cao Cao also admired Cai Wenji at that time, but at that time, his great cause had not been completed, and Cai Wenji was still young, so this matter ran aground temporarily.

In A.D. 189, Dong Zhuo led an army into Chang 'an. If I had known Cai Yong's name, I would have made him a counselor and worshipped Zuo as my teacher. This year, Cai Wenji 12 years old.

2. Twisted Marriage Although Cai Wenji is very talented, she still hasn't got rid of the tragic fate of ancient women.

192, 16-year-old Cai Wenji married Wei Zhongdao, the son-in-law of Hedong clan. Wei Zhongdao is familiar with classics and is also one of the gifted scholars. They are a perfect couple. Unexpectedly, one year after marriage, Wei Zhongdao suddenly became seriously ill and died.

The husband's family didn't give him a good look, thinking Wenxi was dead. In desperation, she had to go home and live.

This summer, Dong Zhuo was killed, Wang Yun was in power, and his companions were killed. Cai Yong suffered the aftermath and died in prison. My mother died two years later.

Alone, Cai Wenji encountered chaos in Li Jue and Guo Si. Coincidentally, Li Jue's subordinate Hu Bing captured her, and Hu Bing, who captured her, betrayed Li Jue and defected to Meiji County, Xihe, the stronghold of Nanting in the southern Xiongnu.

After thousands of miles of wandering, Cai Wenji finally failed to escape the trick of fate. She was given to the Southern Xiongnu as a trophy. This line is 12.

12 years, gave birth to a son and a daughter for Zuo.

12 years, Cao Cao fought in the battlefield and swept the northern heroes.

12 years later, Cao Cao heard that Cai Wenji was captured and went to Xiongnu, and quickly sent an envoy Dong Si to communicate and coordinate, expressing his willingness to spend a lot of money to redeem this strange girl from Xiongnu.

So there is an eternal story of "Wen Xi returned to Han".

After returning to the Central Plains, Cao Cao asked Cai Wenji to help Cao Wei compile history books, hoping that she would finish Hanshu.

In fact, Cai Wenji is definitely not very happy at the moment. After all, she has been a mother and lived in the frontier 12 years. For everything in my hometown, I have already changed from familiar to unfamiliar.

Because her parents were long gone, when she needed protection most, no superhero stood up and told her: I'm not afraid.

But my hometown is my hometown after all. Rich products and relatively stable life. As a woman, she doesn't have much choice.

She is in a dilemma.

In Cai Wenji's "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia", a few words also expressed her mood at this time:

How warm the east wind should be, and the son of heaven in the Han family is happy with Buyang. Hu Qiang sang and danced, and the two countries made love and went to war. Suddenly, every Chinese ambassador called Jin and sent his daughter to redeem me. I am so happy to be alive, and I am so happy to meet the holy king, so I say goodbye to my second son for no reason. Nine times out of ten, two beats are both sad and happy. Who is living in two emotions? So what if you have a thousand things to give up? She is just a weak woman without any background. Cao Cao kindly redeemed her, and she couldn't help but receive this feeling. Unfortunately, mother and son, mother and daughter, can never meet again.

Cao Cao soon found a talent for Cai Wenji-Dong Si. Dongsi is both civil and military, young and handsome, brilliant in literary talent, tall and handsome, and Wenxi has found a good home.

But later, Dong Si, as the captain of the wasteland, committed a capital crime, and Cao Cao was helpless and ordered to be beheaded.

After hearing this, Cai Wenji ran barefoot to find Wang Wei to intercede, and talked with Kan Kan in front of many civil servants and military commanders, without changing his face, defending her husband's innocence.

Cai Wenji's lofty sentiments moved Cao Cao, and he ordered the pardon of Dong Si.

3. Cao Wei's life is relatively stable, and Cao attaches great importance to Cao Wenji. Cai Wenji can finally show his talent and create with peace of mind.

His five-character poems "Poem of Mourning Anger" and "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" are all excellent works, each word is sincere, telling his own story and experience, with tears in his smile, which makes people feel the same, but sad without pity.

This is an artistic height that few people have achieved for thousands of years.

Zhu's copula says: The author of "Hu Jia" was also done by Cai. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, many scholars were interested in coquettish, but they chose this song and didn't record it. They think that although they don't have the instruction of Chu language, they can't speak their own words in grief, and they should groan for being virtuous and not ill. It means that there were many literati writing poems and articles in the Han Dynasty, but Cai Wenji's article was the first one. Because this work is different from the commonly used words in the past, it is sad but not hurt, and the language is gorgeous, which is much stronger than those literati who groan without illness.

Guo Moruo also said that this work is Qu Yuan's favorite poem besides Li Sao. He even commented that this work is much higher than Du Fu's Seven Poems in Tonggu County, which is amazing but irrefutable.

Because Cai Wenji's writing style is really great!

After writing the piano music "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia", Cai Wenji felt dissatisfied. Soon after, he wrote a five-character poem "Sorrow and indignation" to express his life experience. Although it is called grief and indignation, it doesn't mean all sadness.

The significance of this poem, as mentioned above, is homesickness on the one hand and deep maternal love for one's children on the other. Unfortunately, they can't have both. Fortunately, in the north under the rule of Prime Minister Cao, life is stable, people live and work in peace and contentment, and finally they can settle down.

Guo Moruo, a historian, raised three questions about the original author of Poems of Sorrow and Indignation, which were refuted on the spot by Tan Qixiang, the main founder and pioneer of historical geography in China. After in-depth research, Guo Moruo wrote the play Cai Wenji, which reproduces the story of a generation of strange girls.

In any case, this five-character poem is a masterpiece.

4. Cai Wenji, a female historian, has a good memory and is a rare genius in past dynasties. If put in today's "Chinese Poetry Conference", she can still be among the best. As mentioned earlier, Cao Cao hoped that Cai Wenji would go back to study history. Later, Dongsi was in trouble, and Cai Wenji went to intercede.

Another reason for Cao Cao's leniency is that he put forward a condition euphemistically, hoping that Cai Wenji would write down the books he could remember in those years. After the troubled times came, the Cai family courtyard changed hands several times, and those precious books had already disappeared.

Cao Cao said, "I first heard that there are many graves in my wife's house. How can I remember?"

Cai Wenji: "In the past, my dead father gave me 4,000 books. I lost my life, but there were no survivors. I recited more than 400 articles today. " This is a conversation between two people at that time. Cao Cao asked how much you could remember.

Cai Wenji said: There used to be more than 4,000 books. I haven't read these books for more than ten years, and I can only remember more than 400.

This is a pleasant surprise for Cao Cao. Even now, how many people can clearly remember the enlightenment book and write it down word by word without reading the previous textbook 12?

Cai Wenji can.

When Cao Cao heard this, he said that he would arrange for ten officials to listen to Cai Wenji's dictation, take shorthand and record it.

But Cai Wenji felt that it was inconvenient for men and women to give and receive, so he asked Cao Cao for a pen and paper and a courtyard. After eight years of uninterrupted memory and writing, he really restored the works he had seen in those years.

Later, Cai Wenji spent three years sorting out Continued Han compiled by his father, and published more than 400 works. These works are still a valuable asset, which is of great reference significance for historians to study history.

Wang can, one of the "seven sons of Jian' an", once wrote poems to praise this talented woman:

In the young boudoir, the wisdom argued the piano, and Hu Yue cried.

After returning, only butterflies and flowers were left, but Qinyuan was not there for a day. In 249, Cai Wenji died at the age of 73. Throughout the dynasties, many scholars and poets recorded the legendary story of Cai Wenji in various genres. From 6: 438 to 9: 78, Beijing Film Studio started shooting the color feature film Cai Wenji.

In today's Cai Wangzhuang Village, Lisan Town, Lantian County, southeast of Xi City, Shaanxi Province, there is also a Cai Wenji Memorial Hall, which was built spontaneously by villagers in 199 1 year.

In 2008, in Pi Town, Qi County, my hometown, the villagers also spontaneously built the Cai Wenji Memorial Hall, the Moon's Return to Han Garden and the Moon's Temple to commemorate this historical wonder.
