Folk story: "Afraid of wife"

Men in China have been afraid of their wives for a long time, and there are many interesting stories in history. Zhuan Xu, a butcher-born soldier in the Spring and Autumn Period, was listed as one of the "Five Assassins" in ancient times along with Cao Mo, Yurang, Nie Zheng and Jing Ke. He went down in history for successfully assassinating Wu Wangliao with the "Fishbone Sword" (one of the two small swords made by Ou Yezi, the master of sword casting), and was included in Historical Records and Biography of Assassins by Sima Qian. According to Yuejueshu, during the Warring States Period, Wu Zixu saw that Zhuan Xu was going to fight with many people. His wife came out to call him and immediately followed him home obediently. Wu Zixu wondered: How can a knight be afraid of a woman? So he hurried to ask why, and Zhuan Xu told him: He who can give in to a woman can reach out to all men. Yuan Mei quoted Yue Jueshu as saying: "Zhuan Xu has great courage in fighting with others. When he hears his wife's phone, he will call back. Isn't it the beginning of pecking hens? " "。 Zhuan Xu practiced his theory that "those who can give in to a woman's hand can reach out to all men" with practical actions. Sure enough, Zhuan Xu was later recommended by Wu Zixu to Wu Gongzi Guang (later Prince Wu and Lu) and performed very well. He stabbed the world with a fish-intestines sword, and Wu Wangliao was killed on the spot, and Zhuan Xu himself was killed on the spot. He died with a smile on his face, generous and worthy of his mission. Wang Dao, the actual founder of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was born in a noble family in the Central Plains and lived in Zaifu. In charge of Yuan Di, Ming Di and Emperor Cheng, he was subordinate to his brother Wang Dun, who was in charge of military affairs in six states, and Wang Jiazhong's children were also very prominent. At that time, there was a saying that "the king and the horse, * * * the world". Wang Dao, who is so awesome, is also a wife-fearing master. He once took a concubine behind his wife's back. One day, my wife finally found out and came to find out. Wang Dao, who was talking to others, learned that his wife was coming, and quickly ran away with the ox cart. Cattle carts naturally don't run fast. The Prime Minister Wang was in a hurry, and the bird's tail was also used as a whip. It happened that the shaft was very long, the bird's tail was very short, and it was difficult for the cow to reach it. He was anxious, and others laughed to death. Later, someone made up a joke and suggested giving him nine tin later. There are two things that must be given: short axis and long tail. Emperor Wen of Sui, the Emperor of Sui Dynasty, was more afraid of his wife than Wang Dao, and had the same effect. Emperor Wendi's wife, Queen Dugu, is a political genius. She made outstanding contributions in the process of helping Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty seize the throne. She was called "Two Saints" with Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, who was usually afraid of her. At that time, there was a traitor named Wei Chijiong. He has a beautiful granddaughter, and Emperor Wendi of Sui feels glad. When Dugu learned about it, Yan Feng was furious and sent someone to kill the little beauty. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was extremely indignant at the death of his sweetheart, but he dared not challenge his wife. Instead, he rode out of the imperial garden alone and went straight into the barren hills for more than 30 miles. The minister caught up with him, stopped the horse and protested bitterly. Emperor Wendi sighed: "I am the son of heaven, but I am not free! "In the horse for a long time, just back to the palace in the middle of the night. The next day, I listened to my wife's words and dared not expect anything anymore. According to Humor IV in the 248th chapter of Tai Ping Guang Ji, Guan Guogong Ren Huan in the Tang Dynasty was particularly afraid of his wife. He once said to a man, "A wife makes you afraid of her for three periods. When she first got married, she sat in the bridal chamber like a bodhisattva. Isn't anyone afraid of bodhisattvas? After a long time, I gave birth to a child and looked like a tiger protecting a calf. Nobody is afraid of tigers? When you get older, your face will wrinkle like a wax gourd ghost that absorbs the essence of people in Buddhist scriptures. Nobody's afraid of ghosts? Because these people are afraid of their wives, what's strange about this? " Theorists are all amazed at this wonderful statement. When Emperor Taizong was in power, the prime minister Fang was afraid of his wife's bad reputation and outstanding political achievements, which became a topic that has been passed down through the ages. One day, when the original dynasty ended, Fang lingered in the dynasty and didn't go home. Emperor Taizong was very surprised. He asked him and only listened to him. He asked the emperor not to get angry with his wife before he dared to go home. Emperor Taizong was surprised, but he didn't expect Fang to be so afraid of his wife. It's outrageous to be so weak. Emperor Taizong was very angry and deliberately gave him a few Maggie to kill his wife. Of course Fang didn't dare. Emperor Taizong asked the queen to go out and persuade Fang's wife, but naturally he flatly refused. Emperor Taizong was furious and personally offered his wife a glass of wine, saying, "If you agree with your husband to accept the beautiful woman I sent you, then drink this poisoned wine. This is absolutely impossible! Without saying anything, Mrs. Fang took the poisoned wine and drank it in one gulp. When Emperor Taizong saw this, he was greatly shocked and sighed, "I am still afraid of such a woman, let alone Ling Xuan." "Emperor Taizong took a thick vinegar to scare Fang's wife, but unexpectedly he scared himself and everyone. And jealousy, as an allusion to "jealousy", also comes from this. Yao Chen, a famous man in the Northern Song Dynasty, was wild and uninhibited, proud of the world, and regarded wealth as dirt. Although he was an official (his father was Taichang Shao Qing and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Xiliang), he didn't like taking a bus, didn't mix officialdom, and lived in seclusion in Longqiu. The locals don't know his origin, so they call him Fang. In the third year of Yuanfeng (1080), Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou as an assistant for Wutai poetry case, and they met unexpectedly and became friends. Chen Nian's house in Longqiu is called Zhuojinchi, which is spacious and gorgeous. There are a group of geisha at home. When the guests came, they ate and drank with singing and dancing. Chen Nian's wife, Liu, is grumpy and jealous. Whenever Chen Huan sings and dances, she is jealous (which is understandable). Shouted with a wooden stick and slammed into the wall (of course, she didn't dare to hit Chen Nian, otherwise she would be punished by divorcing her wife), so Su Shi wrote a poem to Chen Jichang: "The lay man in Longqiu is also poor, talking about sleepless nights; Suddenly I heard the roar of the lion in Hedong. I landed on crutches and felt at a loss. "Su Shi was just complaining and poking fun at old friends. However, I didn't expect that "Perilla's articles are world-famous". Chen Jichang became famous overnight and became a typical wife-fearing woman. Hedong is the county seat of the Liu family, implying the Liu family. The word "lion roar" comes from Buddhism, which means "Tathagata's correct voice" and is a metaphor for majesty. Later, this story was written by Hong Mai in Song Dynasty as Three Stories of Rongzhai, which was widely circulated. Since then, the story of the lion's roar has been established, and it is still an adjective of a fierce wife. Because Yao Chen's ci was seasonal, people later called people who were afraid of their wives "seasonal fetishes".
