What does "Yunying" mean in "Yunying is unmarried"?

I don't remember when it happened. I read an article in a certain media, in which the author visited a great man's relative, an older unmarried young woman, and became a senior political cadre. There was a saying in the article that this lady "Yunying has not married yet". My heart thumped. Is this respect or blasphemy for the interviewee? If the author understood the origin of the allusion "Yunying is unmarried", he wouldn't make such a joke. Yun Ying is a prostitute. I wonder if the interviewee knows. If he knew, he wouldn't be furious, he would be in distress situation.

Have to start from Luo Yin. Luo Yin, the word Zhao Jian. Newcomers living in the late Tang Dynasty and the early Five Dynasties. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, he took ten imperial examinations, all of which ended in failure, so he took refuge in Wang Qian Liu, who was based in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and was awarded Si Xunlang by the official. Luo Yin was a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, enjoying a high reputation all over the world. Zhu Wen also came from the back beam to dig him out and asked him to be a doctor. Perhaps for various reasons, he didn't go. The Lee Dynasty in the Southern Tang Dynasty sent envoys to wuyue. Wu Yueren asked the envoy if he had seen Luo (Luo Yin, the official name of Shi Gui). The messenger said that he had never seen or known the man. Wu and Yue people were surprised and said, "What happened to Jiangdong?" ? ! "In modern terms: Luo Yin, with such a high reputation, is world-famous, but you people in the Southern Tang Dynasty don't know it. Isn't that stupid? The messenger of the Southern Tang Dynasty also cleverly replied: "I don't know, because I am unknown in the gold list. "You see, the trend of attaching importance to diplomas and degrees has existed since ancient times. No one will know your existence unless you take the Jinshi exam. Maybe that's what the messenger meant to say, and he despises Luo Yin's fame.

This is due to a sonnet by Luo Yin:

Zhong Ling was drunk for more than ten years, and saw Yunying in his hand. I'm not famous, I'm not married, and I may not be as good as others.

In Tang poetry, the title of the poem is "Cloud Shadow for Prostitutes" (I guess this title was added by later generations). There is also a footnote after the poem: "I hid in the first place and saw the old prostitute Yunying. Yun Ying said,' Luo Xiucai is not yet white! Give a poem. According to today's words, Luo Yin failed in the imperial examination and met the old prostitute Yunying. Yun Ying said, "Luo Xiucai, you haven't taken off Ding Bai's hat yet!" Luo Yin wrote this poem for her. Thus, Luo Yin was down and out before he went to wuyue. By the way, a scholar is a respectful name for a scholar, not a first-class fame, so Luo Yin is still Ding Bai.

Yunying's identity is so, is it inappropriate for the author in front to use "Yunying unmarried" on an elderly woman who deserves respect? ! Recently, two seven laws were posted, in which "cloud shadow" was mentioned. This fact was posted for everyone's good.

Note: 1. On the allusion of "Pei Xing meets Ying Ying";

During the reign of Tang Changqing, Pei Hang, a scholar, happened to meet Yunying, who was peerless in appearance. Pei Hang paid a high price to get a job in a jade pestle and mortar and married Yinger. Finally, the hanger and his wife entered the Yufeng Cave, where they became immortal couples. (See "Tai Ping Guang Ji" (Volume 50) Pei Heng. )

2. Is the allusion related to "Yun Ying is unmarried"?

It's okay. For "Yunying is unmarried", Yunying in front is a fairy and this is a prostitute. For allusions, see Chronicle of Tang Poetry and Biography of Talented Scholars in Tang Dynasty. Luo Yin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, took the exam for the first time and met Yunying, a geisha, in Zhong Ling. /kloc-after 0/2 years, I failed to meet Yunying for ten times. Knowing that she was still unmarried, I presented a poem saying, "Zhong Ling has been drunk for more than ten years, and she saw Yunying in the palm of her hand. I am not famous or married, and I may not be as good as others. "

It's a pity to see Yunying again later. In the Qing Dynasty, there is a sentence in Wu's Linjiang Fairy Encounters with the Old that "Jianghu always carries wine, and see Yunying again in ten years".
