A strange rumor about Li Qingzhao

A few days ago, I saw an article in Jane about Li Qingzhao's appearance, which mentioned, "But Li Qingzhao didn't choose a concubine when she was a girl, which means that her appearance is not particularly outstanding, otherwise she would have chosen it."

Surprisingly, did Li Qingzhao participate in choosing concubines when she was a girl? It's unheard of.

I checked Li Qingzhao's information and there is nothing to say here. Li Qingzhao is neither an official nor a concubine. As usual, History of Song Dynasty has no biography. The so-called biography of Li Qingzhao by online writers is just a perfunctory word, which is pure fiction and has nothing to do with historical facts. Li's biography didn't say anything-it's normal for a biography to summarize the life of a master in 1000 words.

Li Qingzhao's chronicle is also not recorded.

The stock of Shuyu words is not large, so I won't say much here. The preface of Jin Shi Lu is basically an autobiography and is not mentioned.

The whole network search for "choosing a concubine for Li Qingzhao" was only mentioned in an article by Netease, but it was exactly the same as the information provided by this simple friend, with no source and no more information.

Searching for Zhihu is not an article.

There are many professionals in Zhihu, and people who study a historical figure often collect details, not only official history, but also anecdotal stories in unofficial history, so as to find out whether it is credible or not.

As a result, not only did the official history not mention these five words, but also there were no casual articles and no direct questions.

That's weird!

Asked directly about Jane's friend's source, he said, "This needs to be verified by someone. Li used to be an assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, which should be recorded in historical books. "

this ...

Doesn't that mean nothing? Tell me your source. There is no absolute causal relationship between Li as assistant minister in the official department and Li Qingzhao's participation in choosing concubines. This is not the early Qing Dynasty. In the early Qing dynasty, it was stipulated that women in the flag could not get married without participating in the draft. There was no such rule for choosing concubines in Song Dynasty, so it can't be proved that the father, the daughter of a senior official, must have participated in choosing concubines. Of course, this doesn't prove that she didn't participate, but the problem now is that if you say that she participated in choosing a concubine, you must come up with strong evidence, not an "argument" that can't be proved or denied. There should be historical records, but there is no historical data to check. I can't say there should be, but there is.

There is another saying that is even stranger-Kang Zhen said that Li Qingzhao took the initiative to be nice to Zhao Mingcheng.

Huh?

Can this prove that Li Qingzhao once participated in choosing concubines?

What's all this?

Did Li Qingzhao take the initiative to be nice to Zhao Mingcheng and participate in choosing a concubine?

Another problem

This Jane friend used Li Qingzhao's unsuccessful choice of concubine to prove that Li Qingzhao was not good-looking.

The thinking gap between people is really unusual.

If a person has participated in choosing a concubine, do you think her appearance is superior or inferior?

Whether you lose the election or not, can you participate in it?

For example, there are thousands of athletes participating in the Olympic Games, but only a few hundred have won medals. Can you say that people who haven't won medals in the Olympic Games are not good at sports?

Being able to participate in world-class competitions is a master beyond the reach of others.

If Li Qingzhao really participated in choosing a concubine, then her appearance should be very outstanding.

National beauty is not true, but it is undoubtedly outstanding.

But there is no evidence that Li Qingzhao participated in choosing a concubine. It is impossible to infer whether she is beautiful or not.

As for the marriage with Zhao Mingcheng, it can't prove that Li Qingzhao is a prostitute. Their marriage is not up to them. If parents want, it's settled. They have no room for comment.

As for Kang Zhen's saying that Li Qingzhao took the initiative to be nice to Zhao Mingcheng, it is nothing more than that many of Li Qingzhao's words are thoughts from the best of friends. Zhao Mingcheng, on the other hand, doesn't have so many works expressing his love for Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao is a good family. After marriage, she is an official's wife, a standard rich and idle person, who has plenty of time to write about her leisure, which makes her homesick. Zhao Mingcheng's specialty is epigraphy, that is, ancient Chinese characters. His literary achievements are not comparable to those of Li Qingzhao-not to mention his love works. Are there any poems handed down from ancient times in Zhao Mingcheng? He is not good at poetry, and of course he will not use poetry to express his love for Li Qingzhao. In some people's eyes, this imbalance is that Li Qingzhao took the initiative to be nice to Zhao Mingcheng, and Zhao Mingcheng despises Li Qingzhao.

According to Li Qingzhao's chronicle, these works are all after marriage, which can't prove that Li Qingzhao is chasing Zhao Mingcheng, and she is heartless, so Li Qingzhao is ugly.

Besides, even if you chase him, you can't prove that his pursuers are ugly.

Besides, back to that sentence, ancient marriage was not decided by the parties. Did Li Can catch up with the place she wanted to catch up with? In the era when Li Qingzhao lived, it was the upper limit for girls in boudoir to grieve for spring and autumn. How dare she put her thoughts on men to the pen? Even if I have it in my heart, I dare not form words and give people a handle. Only when you get married can you write about love aboveboard.

Li Qingzhao wrote many words about missing her husband, which proved that she loved Zhao Mingcheng very much. Does Zhao Mingcheng love Li Qingzhao? Who does the sweetness in Li Qingzhao's ci come from?

Is Li Qingzhao beautiful?

There is no strong evidence that she is beautiful, and there is no evidence that she is ugly.

Perhaps, she must not be ugly-if she is ugly, she will be recorded. In the patriarchal society, the ugliness of women is a sin, and the ugliness of talented women is a big joke, which can cover up a hundred handsome guys and give a great psychological balance to mediocre people. Then, if Li Qingzhao is ugly, how can she not be written down?
