Jia Yucun also gave a lot of examples of people born of good and evil, and we introduced them one by one according to the order of appearance.

20, the Year of the Turtle

Most of the nineteen celebrities who were born from good and evil introduced earlier can write and draw, they express their emotions and lead the trend mainly by the pen, and there are also a few who love to sing, and they write new songs and sing them themselves, but they are not professional. Li Guinian was a professional musician in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and later became so famous that he almost became the personal music consultant of Emperor Tang Ming.

Li Guinian sang well, was recognized as the first in the country at that time, he was also good at composing, arranging, and proficient in musical instruments such as baskets, drums, and pipa. When Li Guinian rested and came out of the palace, he would be invited by the ministers to perform, and he was tired of singing in the palace and his voice was uncomfortable, so he went the same. He is not afraid of offending the powerful, he just doesn't want to snub the enthusiasm of the fans, and he plays an instrument if he can't sing.

Li Guinian's status in the musical instrument performance world is like that of several current folk music performance masters, Chen Jun who plays the erhu, Fang Jinlong who plays the pipa, and Liu Ying who plays suona. Speaking of this, I suddenly thought that in three or four hundred years, maybe the audience will still be able to see this video of me, and maybe they will find audio and video recordings of several masters playing. But Li Guinian only left the lyrics he sang, which are now called Tang poems.

Li Guinian was extremely favored, and the mansion he built in Luoyang on the orders of the emperor exceeded the scale of ordinary princes and nobles. As long as Li Guinian is at home, his family is full of friends and lively, and Li Guinian not only makes friends with rich and powerful, there are indeed many dignitaries and dignitaries who come to visit, there are also down-and-out poets, folk singers, and dancers who write lyrics.

In addition to accompanying Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei in the palace, Li Guinian most often went to the house of Emperor Tang Ming's younger brother Qi Wang. Wang Wei, who is omnipotent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is a great talent, in the nineteenth year of Kaiyuan, he won the top prize, visited celebrities in Luoyang, and also went to Qiwangfu to walk around. Li Guinian was invited to perform in the Qiwang Mansion at that time, and Wang Wei, who was playing music, was shocked, so he wrote a lyric for Li Guinian to sing, "The rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow-colored." persuade the gentleman to drink a glass of wine, and there is no one in Yangguan in the west".

Wang Wei cried when he heard it, and this song became popular all over the country. At station B, listening to the command of Tomomi Nishimoto, Koji Yuzhi sang "Autumn Mood", and netizens all posted a barrage saying "cry first for respect", singing affectionately and touching the soul. Wang Wei wrote a few lyrics specifically for Li Guinian, which have been handed down such as "Jiangshang Presents Li Guinian", which was later renamed "Acacia". "Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. "After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Guinian, who had gray temples, lived in the south of the Yangtze River, and sang this song "Acacia", your uncle is your uncle, and after singing, he cried a lot.

Li Guinian finally died in Jiangnan, before he died, Du Fu also lived in Jiangnan, the two met with emotion, Du Fu wrote a poem "Jiangnan in the Year of Li Guinian", "It is common to see it in King Qi's house, and Cui Jiutang has heard it a few times before." It is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and the season of falling flowers is a good time." Wandering in troubled times, a sad word in the whole poem is useless, only the four words "falling flowers", if you lift weight, the memories are endless, and the emotion is infinite.

21, Huang Wan

After talking about the singer, I want to introduce the comedian Huang Wanyu, who has been in the palace for more than 30 years and specially performed the "military drama" for Emperor Tang Ming. "Joining the army" is an official position, in the past, there were officials who served in the army for corruption, and when they were accused, the emperor asked the actor to wear an official uniform, play the role of joining the army, and then let another actor play tricks on this corrupt official, which is called "joining the army play". It is a comedy performed by two people, similar to the cross talk now, teasing and teasing, Mr. Guo likes to say, Mr. Donkey has three hobbies, smoking, drinking, and perming his head, and Mr. Donkey is married to a young lady from a rich and noble family.

Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a "military drama", and in the late Tang Dynasty, the military drama developed into a multi-person performance, and the plot of the drama was also more complex, mainly comedy, and there were also dramas and tragedies, in addition to male characters, there were also female characters. It had a direct impact on the formation of Song and Jin miscellaneous operas, and the Yuan and Ming miscellaneous operas also influenced the formation of Peking Opera, Yue Opera and Henan Opera.

Although Huang Wanqiu is a play, he likes to joke and advise the emperor, and there are many records in the wild history. Once, Huang Wanqiu played the role of joining the army, and after the performance, Emperor Tang Minghuang had not finished his fun, so he ordered someone to throw Huang Wanqiu into the pool. Huang Wan sinks and floats in the water, making Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei laugh. After a while, the yellow banner climbed ashore like a chicken in soup. Emperor Tang Ming teased him at this time: "You just went to the Dragon King Palace, aren't you very happy, what new things you saw?" ”

Huang Manqiu thought that this was a good opportunity to advise the emperor, and said solemnly: "I have indeed seen something new in the water. I met Qu Yuan during the Warring States period and chatted with me a few words! When Tang Minghuang heard this, he became even more energetic and asked, "What did he say to you?" Huang Wanqiu smiled and said, "Qu Yuan told me that he ran into a faint monarch like King Chu Huai who did not listen to his advice, so he committed suicide by jumping into the river. Now that you are by the side of the Wise Lord, how did you end up like this? Huang Wanqiu's words satirized Emperor Tang Minghuang for making such nonsense, and he was about to become a faint king. said that Tang Minghuang couldn't cry or laugh, and he really relented in the future.

In the later part of the reign of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, he was indulged in polo all day long. There are already a lot of good horses in the palace, and they are trying to find ways to collect thousands of horses. Once, he asked Huang Wanqiu: "I want a thousand miles of horses, where can I find Bole, who is proficient in the Book of Horses, to help me choose a horse?" Huang Wanqiu said seriously: "The three prime ministers of the court and China today are all Bole who are proficient in the "Book of Horses". ”

Emperor Tang Ming said strangely: "I discuss national affairs with them every day, I only know that they are proficient in political affairs, and other knowledge also has their own strengths, some are good at writing, some are good at calligraphy, and some love to paint, but I have never heard that any of them can meet each other." Huang Wan smiled and said, "The horses ridden by the prime ministers who play polo with His Majesty are all BMWs, so they are all Soma experts." Huang Wanqiu sarcastically ridiculed the Tang Ming Emperor and his ministers that they should think more about national affairs and should not indulge in polo fields all day long. This made Emperor Tang Ming no longer mention the matter of horses.

Huang Wanqiu is an artist, and when the emperor is happy, he can persuade a few words, and there are many persuasions, and Emperor Tang Ming has a good idea, so it is inevitable that he will lose his temper with him. Once, when I wanted to hold a concert in the palace, I asked the eunuch to summon Huang Wanqiu, but Huang Wanqiu didn't arrive in time because of something. The emperor was furious, and sent people everywhere to look for him several times, and when Huang Wan entered the palace, he heard Emperor Tang Ming beating drums in the palace.

From the sound of the drums, Huang Wanqiu knew that the emperor was furious, and he was really a companion to the king! He begged the eunuch not to report his entry into the palace immediately. After a while, the drum beat was much slower, but still murderous. In the sound of drums, the emperor asked with a straight face, "Is Huang Wan here yet?" The yellow banner waved his hand again and again, and motioned to the people in the temple, telling them not to speak. It wasn't until the end of the song and a new drum song was played that the drum beat a few times, and Huang Wanqiu immediately entered the temple to pay respects.

Tang Minghuang asked, "What did you do just now?" Huang replied, "A relative of the family has come to see me, and I have sent him to the suburbs to ask the saint for forgiveness." At this time, the emperor's anger had subsided, and he was beating a drum and nodding his head at the same time. The eunuch revealed that Huang Wanqiu was waiting outside the palace gate as early as possible, and Emperor Tang Ming asked why Huang Wanqiu had come a long time ago and did not enter the palace? Huang explained that he could hear the joy and anger in the music, so he waited for the saint's anger to subside. Emperor Tang Ming said sternly: "My heart, how can I let you, a good slave, know the truth." "I didn't blame Huang Wanyu too much.

According to one theory, Huang Wanqiu was forced to perform for An Lushan in the Anshi Rebellion, and was guilty and killed after quelling the rebellion, and the other theory is that Huang Wanqiu fled south, and like Li Guinian, he died in Jiangnan.

22. Respect the new grind

Jing Xinmo is a court drama in the Five Dynasties period, the Later Tang Dynasty, and also performs dramas. Emperor Tang Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, like Emperor Tang Ming, was a ticket holder, singing and dancing, and sometimes appeared on the stage to perform with Youling. Once, when Tang Zhuangzong was performing, he shouted loudly, "Li Tianxia, where is Li Tianxia?" Li Tianxia is the stage name he gave himself, he called himself himself, which had a dramatic effect, but no one dared to answer such a shout.

Jing Xinmo ran up to him and slapped him, of course, gently. The emperor's face changed greatly, and the guards and other actors held Jing Xinmo down, and Jing Xinmo said, "The only one who governs the world is you, the emperor, who else do you want to shout?" At that time, the country was divided, and Tang Zhuangzong also wanted to govern the world, and his stage name was Li Tianxia, which was interpreted by Jing Xinmo as governing the world, and the emperor was angry and laughed, not only did not cure his crimes, but gave him a very rich reward.

After the Tang Dynasty Zhuangzong likes to hunt, every time he tramples on the crops, and once again the emperor goes out of the city to hunt, Zhongmu County Commander stepped forward to advise the emperor, saying that the common people farm the land and pay the grain, the emperor's ministers have food and drink, and the soldiers have military food, they can open up the territory and expand the territory, defend the country, treat the people well, and not destroy the crops. Tang Zhuangzong was on the rise, and immediately became furious, and before he could finish speaking, he ordered someone to pull down the county order and cut off his head.

At this time, Jing Xinmo jumped out and sang to the Zhongmu County Order, performing a theatrical performance, and the lyrics said to the effect: "You are the county commander appointed by the emperor, don't you know that the emperor likes to hunt?" Why should the peasants be indulged in this kind of crop and pay any taxes to the imperial court? You should let the peasants in the county starve, vacate the land, and let the emperor gallop and fly freely, you really deserve death! He sang a sentence, and the other actors sang a chorus. Tang Zhuangzong laughed and released the Zhongmu County Order.

The emperor looked back and thought about it, this Jing Xinmo saved the county officials and peasants, and he was mediocre and tyrannical, but Jing Xinmo had a good reputation. Soon, someone accused Shinma of accepting bribes, and the emperor was very angry, and since then Shinma has mysteriously disappeared from history. Ouyang Xiu commented that only Jing Xinmo had no bad comments among the excellent people in the court at that time, and Ouyang Xiu was very close to the era of Jing Xinmo's life

Xue Tao, a famous prostitute in Chengdu, and Wang Chaoyun, a concubine of Su Shi, who were born of both good and evil

[Text: Those who make male and female couples live with this spirit cannot become benevolent gentlemen at the top, and cannot be evil at the bottom. Placed among tens of thousands of people, its smart and handsome spirit is above tens of thousands of people, and its evil and inhumane state is below tens of thousands of people. If you are born in a rich and noble family, you are infatuated, if you are born in a poor family of poetry and books, you are a master of Yishi, even if you are occasionally born in the cold door of Bo Zuo, you can never be a pawn and a servant, and you are willing to be driven and controlled by mediocrity. Such as the previous generations of Xu You, Tao Qian, Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Liu Ling, Wang Xie Er, Gu Hutou, Chen Houzhu, Tang Minghuang, Song Huizong, Liu Tingzhi, Wen Feiqing, Minan Gong, Shi Manqing, Liu Qiqing, Qin Shaoyou, Ni Yunlin, Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, and then Li Guinian, Huang Wan Chuò, Jing Xinmo, Zhuo Wenjun, Hongfu, Xue Tao, Cui Ying, Chaoyun and others. This is the same place, and so are the people. This "change of place is the same person", that is, in the case of righteousness and evil fighting each other, a type of person born, this kind of person has both righteousness and evil, although their times are different, their experiences are different, and their opportunities are different, but these people's temperament is the same, that is, the two endowments of good and evil.

Jia Yucun gave a lot of examples of people born of good and evil, because Zhuo Wenjun said in the sixth episode, and the Red Whisk Girl we mentioned in the eleventh episode. Cui Ying is the main character in "The Legend of Yingying" and "The Legend of the West Chamber", she has a close relationship with Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, and she will discuss it in the relevant review. This article only introduces Xue Tao and Chaoyun, who are born of the remaining good and evil endowments.

25, Xue Tao

Xue Tao's father was an official in Chang'an, and he regarded his only daughter as a pearl in his palm, and taught her to read and write poetry from an early age. He was an upright person, offended the powerful people of the dynasty and was relegated to Sichuan, and the family trekked through mountains and rivers from the bustling capital to distant Chengdu. Within a few years, he was killed.

Xue Tao was only 14 years old, and the mother and daughter were in financial difficulties. The little savings left by Xue Tao's father were quickly spent, and as a last resort, at the age of sixteen, with his appearance and talent, Xue Tao became a camp prostitute.

Fighting a war is a desperate thing, you can't take your wife to the battlefield, and it is inevitable that there will be depressed emotions in the military camp life in peacetime, so there were camp prostitutes a long time ago, and camp prostitutes were used by the rulers to envelop senior generals, and at the same time were used by senior generals to envelop subordinates, and they could also be used to reward meritorious soldiers. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the establishment of camp prostitutes was established as a system, and it was used in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tang and Song dynasties. On the basis of prostitution, official prostitutes developed, and in some periods official prostitutes were an important source of state tax revenue. Tang and Song Dynasty officialdom banquets, there were official prostitutes waiting, the Ming Dynasty was subordinate to the Department of Teaching Fang, no longer waiting for officials, the Qing Dynasty abolished this system in the early days.

Officials and prostitutes were originally two kinds of people with a huge disparity in social status, but historically, these two kinds of people were very closely related. The imperial court set up camp prostitutes and official prostitutes, some of whom asked the criminals to raid their homes and then their daughters became prostitutes, some orphans were trained to become prostitutes from an early age, and some of the daughters of camp prostitutes continued to be camp prostitutes. These women have good looks and good figures, and in order to meet the needs of civil officials, they must learn poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting. There are many dynasties that clearly stipulate that court officials cannot enter the private green building, but can only recruit official prostitutes, and Su Dongpo and others often go in and out of official prostitute places. After the "Wutai Poetry Case", Su Dongpo was arrested, and an official prostitute ran around for him.
