AD 1127.
After spending many years in the alpine and cold areas of northern China to recuperate their strength, the Jin people, who have coveted our warm and prosperous Central Plains for generations, invaded the south in a large scale.
The Jin's cavalry was invincible all the way, and soon went straight to Bianjing, the capital of Song Dynasty.
King Kang Zhaogou fled to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing and proclaimed himself emperor and changed the Yuan Dynasty, beginning the humiliating history of the Southern Song Dynasty.
At this time, in the entire north of China, wherever the Jin people went, they burned, killed, looted, and mourned everywhere. Anyone who could take action fled south with their families, and all the roads were crowded with people fleeing.
Among these refugee groups was a 44-year-old middle-aged woman. She set out from Zizhou, Shandong Province and was also heading south.
But what makes her different from other refugees is that she actually brought 15 cartloads of stuff.
These things are not gold and silver treasures, nor brocade and silk, but books, calligraphy and paintings, tablets, porcelain and so on.
In fact, she still had many books and utensils that she didn't bring with her.
Before leaving, she was making a selection: "Since we can't carry all the items, we should first remove the important printed copies of the books, then remove the large copies of the paintings, and then remove the unrecognizable ancient artifacts. Then we will remove the censored copies of the books. The paintings are ordinary and the utensils are important. If you reduce it repeatedly, it will still carry 15 carts."
Along the way, she and several family members slept in the open air, took boats on rivers, took cars on roads, and carried goods without roads. With her extraordinary wisdom and courage and her crazy love for cultural relics, she crossed the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River in more than a year. , pledged these precious cultural relics to Jiangning Mansion.
For more than a year, in this chaos of war, a middle-aged woman led such a team. One can imagine the hardships during this period.
This person is Li Qingzhao.
In the second year of Jianyan, that is, 1128 AD, Li Qingzhao finally arrived at Jiangning Mansion where Zhao Mingcheng was located.
But at this time the country was already in danger.
Less than a year later, Zhao Mingcheng died of illness.
After that, Li Qingzhao began his wandering journey again.
First, he wanted to join Zhao Mingcheng's brother-in-law, but before he reached his destination, the Jin people captured the destination.
Until April 1031, Li Qingzhao temporarily settled in Shaoxing, but by this time most of her possessions had been lost.
After arriving in Shaoxing, he temporarily stayed with a family named Zhong, and then some of the few remaining paintings and calligraphy were stolen.
AD 1032.
Li Qingzhao finally settled in Hangzhou.
Because the homeless life has brought her endless torture, and the loss of cultural relics has also plunged her into infinite pain.
In this loneliness and helplessness, Li Qingzhao married his second husband, Zhao Ruzhou.
But Zhao Ruzhou is a complete scumbag.
He was with Li Qingzhao just for Li Qingzhao's treasure.
Later, it was discovered that most of Li Qingzhao's treasures were lost, and his true nature was exposed.
Not only did he exchange Li Qingzhao's remaining collection for money, but he also started domestic violence against Li Qingzhao.
Li Qingzhao once wrote an article:
Then they invaded and beat him more and more every day. It can be said that Liu Ling's ribs are hard to defeat Shi Le's fist.
That is to say, Zhao Ruzhou's domestic violence against her.
But you have to say that Li Qingzhao at that time was by no means an ordinary woman in ancient times.
Li Qingzhao couldn't bear it anymore, so he reported to the official that he wanted to divorce Zhao Ruzhou.
In the end, he won the lawsuit, and Zhao Ruzhou was naturally arrested and imprisoned.
However, the laws of the Song Dynasty at that time stipulated that a wife who sued her husband would have to endure three years in prison. Fortunately, Li Qingzhao was talented enough at the time. After being rescued by countless Hanlin scholars, Li Qingzhao was released from prison after nine days.
From then on, Li Qingzhao felt that he no longer needed a man to rely on.
All she has left now is a box.
This box is her most precious treasure, and the mechanism is extremely complicated. It requires a password to open, which is quite laborious even with brute force.
And because it was relatively small, no matter how well she hid it over the years, it was the only thing she still kept.
----------
The first half of Li Qingzhao's life was extremely happy.
Not only was he of noble birth, he was also talented.
She basically spent the first half of her life enjoying herself. Whether it was drinking or gambling, she fulfilled the first half of her life.
But for the rest of his life, he followed his country and wandered around, never enjoying a day of stability again.
Therefore, the contrasting style of Li Qingzhao's lyrics is extremely obvious.
In the first half of her life, the little girl looked happy, but in the later part of her life, she was all miserable.
Qin Luo actually knew very little about Li Qingzhao.
But come to think of it, at least the most graceful female lyricist in China can surprise me to some extent.
The time has come.
The system finally sent the message.
[The exchange of specialties is completed, Li Qingzhao’s return gift specialties have arrived, please check the host]
Qin Luo actually felt a little sorry for the Sioux City Cultural Tourism Bureau.
He found that all the cultural relics he had were from the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the only real thing from the Ming Dynasty was Tang Bohu's painting.
On the other hand, there are many more in the Tang and Song Dynasty exhibition halls.
Li Bai's authentic works, Wu Zetian's jade seal, Lu You's jar, Song Huizong's "Thousand-Character Essay on Thin Gold", here comes another item belonging to Li Qingzhao, which is simply enviable.
"what is it then?"
Qin Luo chose a place with expectation.
【Confirm receipt】
"Orchid Pavilion Picture"
When Qin Luo saw what it was?
My eyes are about to pop out!
It turned out to be "Lanting Picture"?
This painting is a relatively valuable one in Li Qingzhao's collection, comparable to "Zhao's Miraculous Calligraphy".
Originally, Qin Luo was still thinking about whether it might be "Zhao's Miraculous Calligraphy", because the original form of this calligraphy could not be found at all.
But I didn't expect it to be "Lanting Picture".
Its value even exceeds "Zhao's Miraculous Notes".
This "Orchid Pavilion" is currently on display in the National Palace Museum, Taipei Museum, and Liaoning Museum.
However, these three places are all copied later and are not authentic at all.
"Orchid Pavilion Painting" was created by Yan Liben, a court painter of the Tang Dynasty.
This painting was once collected by Li Yu, the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty. When the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty had people take it out from the Southern Tang Dynasty palace and reward it to Yang Kerang, an official of the Ministry of War.
Yang Ke let love be passed down like a treasure for five generations. Before his grandson-in-law Zhou passed away, he gave the painting to his grandson Zhou Hub. Zhou Hub once traveled far away and was afraid that the painting would be stolen, so he gave it to his friend Xie Ji for safekeeping.
Xie Ji was a shabby guy who showed off his paintings everywhere. Zhao Mingcheng, then mayor of Jinling City and deputy commander of the military region, saw him. Zhao Mingcheng said, "I'll borrow it for a look."
After borrowing it and never returning it, it became the treasure of both him and Li Qingzhao.
Hahaha, what a scammer.
Later, Zhao Mingcheng died of illness, and Li Qingzhao took the painting to Shaoxing, where he rented a house from a citizen named Zhong Fuhao. It is said that the landlord Zhong Fuhao slipped into the room accidentally while sleeping at night and stole a large number of cultural relics, including Including this painting.
Since then, the painting has been floating around, and now we don’t even know where the original is.
