Liu Xiu said, how good is Yin Lihua when you marry her?

Yin Lihua is a beautiful, virtuous, filial and knowledgeable woman.

Yin Lihua was the queen of Liu Xiu, Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. She comes from a big family in Xinye. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records: At the beginning of martial arts, I was in a new field, and I was delighted to hear its beauty. Therefore, Yin Lihua was recognized as a great beauty in Xinye at that time, and Liu Xiu made some promises to her before she became famous. Later, when Liu Xiu returned to Beijing, he saw that the motorcade holding Jin Wu (the official name) was extremely luxurious. He said with emotion: "The official should hold Jin Wu, and the wife should hold Yin Lihua."

In the first year (AD 23), Liu Xiu, who joined the rebels, gradually emerged, and he married Yin Lihua as he wished. Later, Yin Lihua's brother Yin Shi joined the Rebel Army and became Liu Xiu's right-hand man. Yin Lihua is not only beautiful but also modest. Although she is favored by Liu Xiu, she is not arrogant.

"The History of the Later Han Dynasty" records that when he became an emperor, he was elegant and wanted to respect his position, but later he made a firm statement. Because Guo had a son who refused to be a queen, he established Guo. After Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, he planned to establish Yin Li Huawei Queen. At that time, Guo Guiren gave birth to a son for Liu Xiu, but Yin Lihua did not give birth to a boy. So Yin Lihua refused to be the queen, and Liu Xiu had to chase Guo Guiren as the queen. In ancient times, the queen was the highest-ranking woman, and many concubines in the palace dreamed of climbing to this position. But the position of the queen is not attractive to Yin Lihua. He actually gave the easy-to-get position of the queen to Guo Guiren, who has children. This shows that she is not only virtuous, but also knowledgeable.

Although Yin Lihua didn't want to be a queen, Liu Xiu finally abolished Queen Guo and named Yin Lihua Queen. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty" records: After he ascended the throne, he was thrifty, did not like to play, and did not like to laugh and fight. I lost my father at the age of seven. Although it has been several decades, I have never stopped crying. After Yin Lihua became queen, she was still respectful and frugal. Although her father died when she was seven years old, although it has been decades since her father died, she cries every time she mentions her father.

We can see from Historical Records that Yin Lihua is a typical traditional woman in ancient times. She abides by filial piety, does not strive for fame and fortune, and can be arrogant after becoming famous. No wonder Liu Xiu likes her so much. It seems that he is not all greedy for Yin Lihua's beauty.
