Who were the beauties in the early Ming Dynasty?

A native of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province

Liu Moxie, a woman from the capital in the early Ming Dynasty, was a legendary figure. She had two wonders in her life, one of which was her imperial gift

's title of "female scholar", and Erqi was her secret contact in the rest of her life to support her old emperor. In the end, she died on this latter one.

Liu Moxie was born into an ordinary scholar's family in Nanjing at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. His parents died young, and the young Liu Moxie was adopted by his uncle's family. Her uncle was an idle man with no children. He loved his niece who was an orphan very much. Seeing that she was very smart, he often taught her some famous poems. The young Liu Moxie could remember them after hearing them three times, and she could also remember them. Comment based on your own understanding. Seeing that little Moye was well-behaved and cute, his uncle always took her with him every time he attended poetry gatherings among literary friends. At such times, little Moye was particularly happy. At the poetry gathering, she stared attentively with her big black eyes shining. Adults who read poems and essays.

Except for occasionally teasing this sweet-looking little girl, those poetic literati paid no attention to her.

On a day when the sweet osmanthus was fragrant, a group of literary friends held a literary party in a garden. As usual, little Moxie was brought to the party by his uncle. The title of the poem this time is "Ode to Flowers of the Four Seasons", and each person will write a poem on plain paper. Little Moye was very interested when he saw the adults bowing their heads and meditating, or waving their pens. So he asked his uncle for paper and pen, and quietly wrote a seven-character quatrain:

Sanqiu Guizi Mei Qiantang , with sparse shadows and plain makeup;

Ten miles of hibiscus bloom from the water, and the spring breeze fills the courtyard with peaches and plums.

At this time, Mo Xie's uncle had not finished writing. Little Mo Xie tugged at his uncle's lapel and handed him the written poem. The uncle took the poem and read it. He was very satisfied, so he recited it to everyone. Immediately, everyone at the literary meeting was amazed. This short four-line poem perfectly summarizes autumn osmanthus, winter plum blossom, summer hibiscus, and spring peach and plum, representative flowers of the four seasons. Although the poetic meaning is not novel, it was written by a nine-year-old girl. The poem is sophisticated and natural. Why don't all the literati praise it! From then on, little Moxie became a formal member of the literary society, sitting on an equal footing with adults, writing poems and essays. Her reputation spread like wildfire, and she became known to everyone in Nanjing as: "The Goddess Child."

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and all the heroes rose up. Nanjing also became a place of war. In the turmoil where life was at risk, no one cared about poetry. Naturally, Liu Moxie, the "child goddess", had no one. Concerned.

Zhu Yuanzhang defeated all the heroes, defeated the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty and became the Ming Taizu. The capital was settled in Nanjing, and the city of Nanjing returned to its former peace and prosperity. At this time, Liu Moxie, who was in his prime, appeared in people's sight again. By this time, Liu Moye had become a mature and capable young woman. With her poetic talent and reputation, she frequently appeared at the poetry receptions of the Dukes and became a celebrity in the high-end social circle, especially by some socialites. The love of a lady. She had a very close relationship with Princess Dachang, the daughter of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and was a frequent visitor to Princess Dachang. In this way, her reputation spread to Taizu Ming Dynasty through Princess Dachang.

Although Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty was born into a poor family, he also loved arty elegance. Hearing his daughter talk about a talented woman in the capital, he specially summoned her to the palace for an interview. Liu Moxie did not panic in front of the emperor and responded with ease. Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he immediately gave her the title of "Female Scholar".

According to the practice of imperial examinations, scholars are the basic qualifications that can be obtained by passing the "county examination"; there is no need for the emperor's order at all. The emperor only presides over the "palace examination" and selects the number one scholar from among the Jinshi. Now the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty personally gave Liu Moxie the title of "Female Scholar", which can be said to be a bit nondescript and very funny; but since it was the emperor who opened the door, no one can say that it is inappropriate. From then on, Liu Moxie has an emperor The unique title of "female scholar" given by the emperor.

Liu Moxie not only has a strange name, but his life experience is also unpredictable. After the war, Liu Moxie appeared as a single woman. Sometimes she dressed up as a noble lady, with all her makeup shining brightly; Find out her identity. Some people say that she was married, and her husband was a wealthy businessman who died in the war, but left her a large amount of money, making her a rich widow; others said that she met an expert from outside the world during the war and taught her Illusion magic can cure difficult and miscellaneous diseases for people, and can also enchant people's minds. Some people say that she once became a nun and practiced in the Qingdeng Ancient Temple, and thus developed good calligraphy and poetry.

Since she never spoke about her experiences to others, this was all just speculation.

Now, Liu Moxie seems to have an identity with the title of "Female Scholar". Although ordinary scholars do not have much status and can be picked up by bowing their heads, Liu Moxie is different from others because she is a special scholar gifted by the emperor, the only one in the country, and she has unknowingly gained "knowledge". With the honor of being a third-level official, coupled with her close friendship with the eldest princess, everyone was in awe of her. She made friends with dignitaries, scholars and celebrities. Because of her intelligence and open-minded personality, she became a "famous woman" in the capital who was very comfortable and able to get around. She could always get things done in both directions.

Later, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang died. At this time, the prince had passed away before him, so the emperor's grandson Yunzhang succeeded him as Emperor Hui of Ming Dynasty. Emperor Hui was afraid that the power of the vassal kings entrusted by Taizu of the Ming Dynasty would expand and affect his own political power, so he followed the strategies of his ministers Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng and adopted the policy of reducing the vassal state. Zhu He, the king of Yan who was entrusted to Yan, was very dissatisfied with this. With the military power in his hands, he raised the banner of "Qingjun side" and raised troops from Yanjing to the south. In fact, he wanted to compete for Emperor Hui's throne. Emperor Hui hurriedly sent a large army, but King Yan's army was well-trained and brave, and the two sides fought bloody battles for four years. The princess's husband, Prince Consort Mei Yin, was ordered to lead heavy troops to garrison in Huainan as a barrier to protect Nanjing. After several battles, Zhu Di's troops gradually captured some northern cities, and many northern garrison troops were overwhelmed by the army. After that, they surrendered to King Yan one after another. King Yan's army was approaching Huainan, and the situation was urgent. There was a rumor in Nanjing that Mei Yin, the Prince-in-law, also wanted to surrender. For a time, the officials and people in the city were in panic. Mao Dafang, the deputy censor of the capital, wanted to write a letter to find out Mei Yin's attitude, but amid the chaos of war, he could not find anyone to take the risk to deliver the letter. At this moment, Liu Moxie volunteered to stand up. Because she had been involved in high-ranking officials for a long time, she knew the political situation very well. In times of crisis, she deliberately used her special abilities to help the court. Because Liu Moxie was a close friend of Mei Yin's wife, it was natural for her to deliver the message. Mao Dafang immediately wrote a poem and note, and secretly gave relevant instructions. Liu Moye left Nanjing with the poem and note.

After passing through the smoke-filled journey, Liu Moxie arrived at the Huai'an defense line and paid homage to Mei Yin. Mei Yin was surprised when she saw that the close friend of her wife, the eldest princess, had arrived. Of course, she was greeted with hospitality. When he arrived at the Commander's Mansion, Liu Moxie took out Mao Dafang's poetry note and read it loudly to Mei Yin:

How is the news about Youyan? Hearing the Tao, the general's will is undiminished:

Even if a fire dragon turns over the axis of the earth, don't teach the cavalry to cross the Tianhe River.

Prime Minister Xiao in Guanzhong's cause, and Ma Fubo's meritorious service;

There is no compensation for being old and failing, and the west wind once became a tragedy!

Because it was to test Mei Yin’s attitude, the meaning of this poem was written in a tortuous and euphemistic way. Mei Yin did not understand Liu Moye’s intention of sending the poem to Baili for a while, so he asked: “What is the purpose of this poem?” "What do you mean?" Liu Moxie felt that Mei Yin seemed to have the same intention, so he simply pointed out: "Master Mao is worried about the west wind because he is worried that the leaves will lose their old branches!" Mei Yin suddenly understood and confessed quickly: "Shi Jun" It is natural for a country to be loyal to its emperor. If Mei led his troops to resist the enemy, he would never let the fallen leaves of the branches dance in the wind!" Liu Moxie confirmed his feeling and returned to Nanjing overnight to pass the news to Mao Dafang.

After that, the King of Yan made a large-scale march southward. After discovering Mei Yin's determination to resist, he had to bypass his defenses and cross the river from Yangzhou to take the capital directly. The king of the valley, Zhu Sui, surrendered, and Xue Yan opened the Jinchuan Gate to welcome the Yan army. Nanjing was soon captured, and a fire broke out in the palace. When Zhu Di entered the palace, Emperor Hui had disappeared.

Zhu Di, King of Yan, established himself as emperor and was called Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. He changed the Yuan Dynasty to Yongle and reorganized the imperial court.

As soon as Mei Yin died, the female scholar Liu Moxie was immediately arrested. At that time, many family members of princes and literati, out of admiration for the talent and ability of the female scholar, came forward to intercede with the court on her behalf. It is generally believed that she is just a prostitute, without a husband, children, or an official position. How could she participate in the political activities of the struggle for the throne? She must have been wronged. Later, after many evidences were discovered one after another, people no longer dared to intercede for her and asked for bail. They just marveled at why this woman took such unexpected actions.

Liu Moxie was already in his mid-teens at this time. After experiencing prosperity, he chose a political path full of difficulties and dangers. What happened now seems to be expected, so he can deal with life and death at ease. .

In prison, she laughed and cursed very naturally. She named and ridiculed some weak old ministers who took advantage of the situation, and showed her firm belief to her heart's content.

One day, Xue Yan, the young minister of Dali Temple, went to inspect the prison. He was originally a former minister of Emperor Hui, and he was instrumental in opening the Jinchuan gate to welcome Zhu Di into the capital, so he became a favorite of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing his shameless complacency, Liu Moxie spat at him and laughed loudly and recited:

Three dynasties of elders and two courtiers, inchworms, dragons and snakes looked at bending and stretching;

With your head down and your shoulders down, you are so noble, and you are welcoming the new king outside Jinchuan Gate.

This poem just opened Xue Yan's scars. He couldn't help but become angry and angry. Before leaving, he ordered the jailer to hang Liu Moxie that night. In this way, the female scholar ended her legendary life, leaving people with countless wonders and puzzles

Beside the West Lake in Hangzhou, there are two beautiful tombs that often make tourists lament: one is that of Su Xiao, a famous poetic prostitute in the Southern Qi Dynasty. The small solitary tomb is located by the Xileng Bridge; the other is buried with Feng Xiaoqing, the resentful daughter of the early Ming Dynasty, and remains silent among the plum trees at the foot of the solitary mountain. Two lonely graves covered with green grass add a bit of sadness to the shores of the West Lake. People who come here to pay their respects will inevitably recall the sad story of the two unfortunate beauties.

Feng Xiaoqing was originally a daughter of an aristocratic family in Guangling (now Yangzhou). His ancestors followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the Southern and Northern Expeditions, and Feng Xiaoqing's father was named the Grand Administrator of Guangling. Feng Xiaoqing's childhood was full of fine clothes and fine food, calling maids and slaves. Xiaoqing has been beautiful and elegant since she was a child, smart and intelligent, and is deeply loved by her parents. When Xiao Qing was ten years old, an old nun came to the prefecture to beg for alms. She saw that Xiao Qing was smart and cute, so she called her to her side. The old nun caressed Xiao Qing's head and slowly said, "Young lady has a charming face and an extraordinary fortune. Let me teach you a passage to see if you like it?" Xiao Qing was very curious and nodded with interest. The old nun closed his eyes and hands and recited a long section of Buddhist scriptures. After finishing reciting, he opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing knew that he was testing himself, so he immediately closed his eyes and repeated the Buddhist sutra that the old nun had just recited, and it turned out to be word for word.

The old nun looked surprised, then shook his head, turned around and said solemnly to Xiaoqing's mother: "This girl is wise and ill-fated, and she is willing to become a disciple. If you can't bear to give up, don't let her study." If you are literate, you may still have thirty years of life!" It means that if Feng Xiaoqing is reluctant to become a monk and teaches her to read and write, she will not even live to be thirty years old.

Feng's mother was shocked when she heard this, but she believed that with her family's conditions, Xiaoqing could live comfortably no matter what. This old nun must be trying to be mysterious, how can you believe it! After sending away the beggar nun, Feng's mother still trained her daughter as before.

Who knows that there will be unforeseen events in the sky and misfortunes and blessings for people. In the fourth year of Jianwen, King Zhu Di of Yan seized the throne of Emperor Jianwen in the name of "Jingnan". When Zhu Di marched into Nanjing, Feng Xiaoqing's father, as a minister of Emperor Jianwen, led troops to resolutely block it. When Zhu Di conquered the world, the Feng family naturally became his target, killing the entire family. Feng Xiaoqing, who was still young and had hairpins, happened to be out with a distant relative, Mrs. Yang, and survived. In panic, he fled to Hangzhou with Mrs. Yang.

In the city of Hangzhou, Feng Xiaoqing had no relatives, so he had to stay in the home of Feng Yuan's wife, who had once had a relationship with Feng's father. Feng Yuanwai was a rich man who ran the silk business. His family was rich and powerful. Seeing that Feng Xiaoqing was alone and pitiful, he took her in.

Moving into the Feng family, she didn’t have to worry about food, clothing and housing. However, overnight she was reduced from a prefect’s daughter to an orphan girl, leaving Feng Xiaoqing immersed in grief and melancholy. It's the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, and Feng's wife's house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very lively. When Mrs. Yang saw Xiao Qing sitting alone in the room, she forced her out to look at the lights. Feng Tong, the eldest young master of the Feng family, was a Confucian businessman who was proficient in writing and calligraphy. He made many riddles and hung them on the lamps. When Feng Xiaoqing came out, most of the lantern riddles had been guessed. When she came closer to look, she was attracted by the riddle:

The old home in Yubashan is said to be the end of the world in tears when meeting people;

The beauty is accompanied by the rain in the middle of the night, and the flowers are constantly sad and falling.

The answer to this lantern riddle was immediately guessed by Feng Xiaoqing. It was the red candle. But what attracted her more was the riddle of this quatrain, which seemed to be a reflection of her state of mind at this time, and she couldn't help but stand in a daze.

Feng Xiaoqing’s strange expression was noticed by the eldest young master of the Feng family who made the mystery, and he couldn’t help but feel pity. He had known that there was a young lady in distress living in his house. He had heard people say how talented and beautiful she was, but he was a married man and did not dare to visit at will. When he saw Feng Xiaoqing today, he immediately guessed her identity.

A few days later, there was a spring snow in Hangzhou. There are several white plum trees outside Feng Xiaoqing's house. At this time, the plum blossoms are blooming in the snow, and the fragrance fills the small courtyard. There was a large plum tree planted in front of her boudoir in the old house in Guangling. Now that she was in a foreign land, she saw the familiar plum blossoms reflecting the snow again, and her dull mood suddenly became clear. So I found a porcelain basin, walked out of the room, went to the plum trees in the courtyard, and carefully collected the crystal snow from the plum petals, preparing to use it to make plum snow tea.

At this moment, Feng Tong, who also loves Meiya, walked into the small courtyard. He came specifically to see the plum blossoms. Two plum lovers met unexpectedly under a plum tree in the snow. So Feng Tong began to help Xiaoqing sweep away the plum snow. Before I knew it, I received a pot full of plum blossoms and snow. Feng Xiaoqing shyly invited Feng Tong into the house to cook and taste plum snow tea together, and Feng Tong happily accepted the order. The two spent a pleasant afternoon together, burning snow, drinking tea, and talking about poetry, and they were in perfect harmony.

After that conversation, Feng Tong could not help but always looking for opportunities to get close to Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing felt that Feng Tong was elegant, courteous, and warm-hearted, so she was very happy for Feng Tong to come see her. As a result, Feng Tong came to see Xiaoqing every three days without telling his wife Cui. Finally, the relationship between the two developed to the point where they couldn't bear to meet in secret and be separated every day. When spring came, Feng Tong The father made a request to take a concubine. Feng Yuanwai originally had a good impression of the smart and pleasant Xiao Qing. In addition, Feng Tong's first wife, Cui, had not given birth for three years after their marriage, so he readily accepted Feng Tong's marriage to Xiao Qing as his concubine. Although Mrs. Cui was deeply worried about this, since the old man nodded, she had no choice but to secretly gnash her teeth and hate him.

Xiaoqing and Feng Tong have a legitimate relationship, and they increasingly stay together day and night. Feng Xiaoqing thought that the disaster was over, but it would be peaceful. Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long. Just after the honeymoon, Feng Tong's first wife Cui Shi began to display her power as the eldest mistress. First, he strictly restricted Feng Tong's actions, and then he was picky about Feng Xiaoqing's life.

Because he was controlled by Cui, Feng Tong rarely had the opportunity to accompany her in Feng Xiaoqing's house. Xiaoqing fell into loneliness again. Because of that small period of good time, the loneliness now became more unbearable. Sitting in the room, Xiaoqing had no choice but to use poetry to relieve her sorrow. On this day, she was filled with emotion and wrote two quatrains like this:

Drying the curtains only worries about the lack of good times, rolling the curtains also worries about the wind; rolling and hanging the curtains is difficult, who can do it if you are not emotional? dawn!

The clouds in the Snow Pavilion are not flowing, the old clouds are pressing down on the new clouds; when I come and fall, my pen falls out of the window, and the beautiful pine trees are my building.

After writing the poem, the paper was spread out on the table, and Xiaoqing fell asleep. Mrs. Cui happened to be passing by at this time. Seeing the silence in the house, she sneaked in quietly to take a peek, and accidentally discovered the poem paper with still wet ink on the table. Mr. Cui, who was proficient in writing, actually understood the meaning of those two poems. Knowing that they were satirizing himself, he immediately became violent and made a noise.

After catching a clue, Ms. Cui will not let it go. She will force Feng Tong to send Xiaoqing out of the house, otherwise she will seek death. Due to Cui's fierce and domineering behavior, and the fact that her mother's family was a family friend of the Feng family and a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou, it was inconvenient to offend her, so Feng Tong had no choice but to send Xiaoqing to live in a Feng family villa in Gushan.

Feng Xiaoqing’s residence is close to the place where Lin Hejing, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, lived in seclusion. Although things have changed and the time has passed, a large area of ??ancient plum trees still remains here. Facing the plum tree that saw all the sorrow in the world, she couldn't help but secretly lament her lonely and miserable life experience. The unspoken tears turned into a bunch of tragic poems;

The blood and tears on the spring shirt flecked the gauze, blowing into the house of the virgin in the forest; the three hundred plum trees on the mountain suddenly changed into azaleas.

The cold rain cannot be heard through the quiet window, so I turn on the lamp and look at the Peony Pavilion. There are also idiots like me in the world, but Xiaoqing is the only one who is sad.

The heart of the country is not afraid of the height of the two peaks. Last night, the loving relatives were far away in my dreams; it is said that the Zhejiang tide has faith, and the Zhejiang tide is like the Guangling tide.

Xiaoqing gradually stopped thinking about food and food, and became sickly and languid. She was leaning on the hospital bed, holding her pipa, and played and sang her self-composed "Tian Xianzi" over and over again

Wenji married Zhaojun Sai, and Xiaoqing continued her love affair; she also lost a Mo Gangfeng , under the wheel of fire, get out quickly, and the world is cool and refreshing.

They are not a couple, so they can’t be regarded as lovesickness; they think, understand and discuss themselves, their hearts are there, their souls are there, they wear shirts and hold on to their skirts.

One day, Xiaoqing said to the old servant: "Immediately invite a clever painter to take a portrait of me, no matter how much money!" After the painter was invited, Feng Xiaoqing carefully applied makeup and put on his best clothes. He sat under the plum blossom tree and let the painter paint his portrait.

The artist drew carefully for two days and finally completed the picture of Xiao Qing leaning on plum blossoms. Xiao Qing took the painting and looked at it for a while, then turned to the artist and said: "My shape has been drawn, but my spirit has not been drawn!"< /p>

The painter started painting again. It took another two days to paint a lifelike portrait. Feng Xiaoqing still shook his head and sighed: "My expression is natural, but my demeanor is not flowing! Maybe it's because I am too reserved."

So, in the third portrait, Feng Xiaoqing was no longer serious. He was holding a posture on the ground, but was living and acting as usual, chatting and laughing with the old servant woman; fanning flowers to make tea; teasing the parrot; reading poetry and books; or walking among the plum trees. The painter grasped her charm in every move, every frown and every smile of hers, and spent four days painting it. In this painting, Xiao Qing is still standing against the plum tree. Vivid and lifelike, almost ready to be seen.

Feng Xiaoqing paid the painter a lot of money, then asked someone to frame the portrait and hang it beside his bed. He stared blankly at himself in the painting every day, as if he was communicating with her heart to heart.

Xinzhuang actually competes with Huatu, who is Zhaoyang? The thin figure is reflected in the spring water. You must pity me and I pity you.

Xiao Qing in the portrait remains as bright as ever, but Xiao Qing in life is getting weaker and weaker. She has no chance to meet her beloved husband again, so how can the portrait relieve her sorrow. She has no choice but to pray for happiness in the next life:

In front of Master Jishou Ciyun, don’t give birth to a child in the west; I would like a drop of poplar water to be sprinkled into a lotus in the world.

When Xiao Qiu comes, everything will wither. Early that morning, Xiao Qing, who was already extremely weak, asked the old servant woman to deliver a "farewell letter" to her only relative, Mrs. Yang. She also wrapped up several volumes of her poems and asked the old servant girl to find an opportunity to give them to the eldest young master of the Feng family. After everything was explained, she tried her best to cheer up, bathed in incense, and bowed twice in front of her portrait. She couldn't help crying loudly, and her cries became quieter and quieter, until she finally breathed her last and died. She was not yet eighteen years old this year, and she indeed fulfilled the old nun's prediction. Is this destiny or man-made?

When Feng Tong heard the news of Xiao Qing’s death, he rushed to the villa desperately, held Xiao Qing’s body and cried out in grief, shouting: "I owe you! I owe you!" Qing Qing When inspecting the relics, Feng Tong found three portraits of Xiaoqing during his lifetime, and brought them home together with the poems handed to him by the old servant woman, and treasured them like treasures. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the poem manuscript and the portrait were discovered by the shrew Cui, and they were all thrown into the fire. Feng Tong struggled to save and managed to grab some scattered poems.

Mrs. Yang was entrusted by Feng Xiaoqing to collect her poem manuscripts from various places, collect them and publish them in the world. The title of the book is "Burn the Remaining Manuscripts".

The fragrant grass in Xiling rides on the ground, and the inner message comes calling for spring. A glass of wine poured on Su Xiao's tomb. Do you know that I am the one you love?

Where are the two birds gathered in the painting, and the verdure is as green as the green luan. How many people pity Wencai nowadays? Also fight against Yuhan in the autumn wind!

The female leader of Yingying Jingu performs a song called Lizhu. It was worth the death of Lou Qian's predecessor, Ji Lun was originally Jie Fengliu.

How does Hibiscus feel when she wakes up? I see the flowers in the mirror reflecting in the water, I wonder who has more autumn thoughts?

Su Tanmei, a famous talented woman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, was known as "Jiangnan Su Chu" together with Chu Fangyu. He also had frequent contacts with the Four Sages of Zhejiang, Liu Bowen and others. They often participated in the very famous "Lanxi Meeting" in Zhejiang at that time, where they often talked loudly and recited poems and wrote poems.

It’s true that “beauties have a bad fate”. Su Tanmei was accidentally killed by Zhu Yuanzhang when she was just as young as a flower. Later, in order to express his regret, Zhu Yuanzhang erected a statue in front of Su Tanmei’s grave. "The Monument of Sin".

Chu Fangyu was one of the talented girls from Jiangnan in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. She was only 24 years old when she died. At the age of 14, she and Su Tanmei, another talented girl from Jiangnan, were known as "Jiangnan Chusu". Among the literati in western Zhejiang The famous poetry gathering---Lanxi Yazhu, surpassed all the sages with his poetry talent. Together with Su Tanmei, the two became close friends and sisters. In the early Ming Dynasty, Su Tanmei was accidentally killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. As a close friend, Chu Fang Yu was extremely grieved and vowed to redress Su Tanmei's grievances. Later, there was a legendary story that she disguised herself as a man, took the imperial examination and won the first prize, humiliating Zhu Yuanzhang in the hall!

Since childhood, Bei Bei Suffering from the war, all his family members died in the war, and he left his hometown with an old servant. On a cold winter day, he gave Zhu Yuanzhang a bowl of swill---it was said to be some kind of pearl, emerald and white jade soup, so that later Zhu Yuanzhang After becoming the emperor, he still remembered the person who gave alms back then. Finally, when Chu Fangyu explained the alms in the hall after becoming the number one scholar in high school, Zhu Yuanzhang admired his talent and beauty and wanted to make her his concubine. How could Chu Fangyu agree? , finally, after completing the last manuscript of his life, "Pearl, Jade and White Jade Soup", he committed suicide. The manuscript was published with the help of Song Lian, one of the "Four Sages in Western Zhejiang". It has been lost today. .When Song Lian saw the death of his literary friend, he sighed with regret, "What a pity! What a pity! What a pity!"
