Chapter 202 History Pen Qianqiu, Ban Zhao

[Shangguan Wan'er was only 47 years old when she died.

Shi Zai Wan'er was buried in Hongduyuan, and was posthumously presented to Zhaorong and posthumously Huiwen. During the Kaiyuan period, Li Longji issued an edict to compile her anthology. 】

[You must know that Shangguan Wan'er's grandfather, Shangguanyi, was not only a prime minister, but also a famous poet.

Shangguan Wan'er's poetic style is quite similar to that of her ancestors. Because of her talent and political status, she once became the leader of the literary world at that time. 】

【Wan'er is in the court, and often attends banquets. She often composes poems for Li Xian, Empress Wei and other princesses.

Shangguan Wan'er was often ordered to evaluate the singing and poems of ministers. "Tang Poetry Chronicles" recorded such a story:
Tang Zhongzong ordered his officials to compose poems in Kunming Pond, and they got more than a hundred poems.

So Zhongzong ordered Wan'er to evaluate the quality of the poems. Wan'er went up to the colored building to read the poems, and the dissatisfied works were thrown down from the upstairs, "the paper fell like flying in a moment".

In the end, only the poems of Shen Quanqi and Song Zhiwen were left. After a little hesitation, Wan'er said, "A piece of paper is flying down, competing for viewing, it is Shen's poem", and Song Zhiwen's poem was rated as the best.

She explained that the concluding line of Shen's poem "I am ashamed to see Yuzhang's talent" seems to have exhausted its momentum, which is not as majestic and powerful as Song's poem "Don't worry about the end of the moon, you will have your own night pearl", so everyone admired it.

Cailou's poem commentary not only shows Wan'er's courage to lead the style of writing, but also reflects her artistic pursuit.

She likes "Don't worry about the end of the moon, and the night beads will come" is vigorous and powerful, which is quite the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"New Tang Book" said: "Those who belonged to Ci at that time, although they were superficial, their income was considerable, and Wan'er was also powerful", which highly affirmed Wan'er's contribution in the history of literature. 】

[Compared with other talented women, Shangguan Wan'er's literary talent is not limited to writing, but is closely integrated with her political achievements.

Wan'er once advised Zhongzong to "extravagantly expand the library, increase the number of scholars, and introduce ministers and famous Confucians to fill the election", and devote himself to the selection of talents and the development of culture and education.

There is an article that once praised: "I want to be handsome, and I am full of rhetoric. The state has people who are good at writing, and there are all ministers who do not learn. In 20 years, there is nothing left in the wild. This is its strength."

Wang Mengou recorded in "The Poetic Works of the Early Tang Dynasty": "Especially after the restoration of Zhongzong, he gave banquets and wrote poems repeatedly, all of which took Wan'er as the ci family, and the poems written by the ministers were based on whether they were beautiful or not. Balance, so the court became more and more popular."

Even Zhang Shuo praised her in the inscription written for Wan'er: "Outside the country's government, inside the emperor. Worry about being a virtuous person, thinking about toast", this is almost the standard used by Tang people to describe a prime minister. 】

[It is said that when Wan'er's mother Zheng was pregnant, she dreamed that a fairy gave Wan'er a steelyard and said, "hold this to weigh the world".

Shangguan Wan'er has never been just a talented woman, but in the public's perception, her political status and achievements are often overshadowed by her talent.

To sum up, Shangguan Wan'er ranks fourth among the top ten talented women in history, and she deserves her name! 】

Compared with other talented women, Shangguan Wan'er's life story is obviously more fascinating.

She started as a slave, set foot in the political arena, became a powerful minister, and finally became a victim of power.

Shangguan Wan'er staged a standard counterattack life and became a classic that is difficult to replicate.

"Shangguan Wan'er was lonely when she was young, but she was still able to study hard and was valued by the nobles. Finally, she became an excellent minister and a leader in the literary world!"

"Wan'er's life is really full of legend."

"Why can't I meet a noble person like Tianhou?"

"Come on, you, Ren Wan'er, what are you doing when you study hard every day?"

"Eat, sleep, visit the brothel."

"Bah! Rough!!"

"Wan'er's fortune, doesn't it correspond to the saying 'opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared'?"

Amid the prolonged discussion among the crowd, the light curtain in midair slowly dimmed.

Shangguan Wan'er's elegant and majestic figure gradually disappeared, replaced by a dignified and beautiful woman.

[Hi everyone, welcome to this short video: An inventory of the top ten talented women in history! 】

[The third place among the top ten talented women in history: Shibi Qianqiu, Ban Zhao]

[Ban Zhao, also known as Ji, styled Huiban, was born in Anling, Fufeng, and was born in a noble family who "has a collection of books and is rich in money".

Her father, Ban Biao, was a historian in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He wrote dozens of "Historical Records" but died before completing the whole book.

Ban Zhao's eldest brother, Ban Gu, inherited his father's business and devoted himself to his work. Over the past twenty years, he compiled one hundred chapters, annals, and biography of "Hanshu". However, Ban Gu was framed and died in prison.

And Ban Zhao's second brother, Ban Chao, was a diplomat and military strategist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was also a famous general in history. 】

[Ban Zhao grew up in such an environment of a family of history books, and has developed a good habit of loving learning and a resolute character since childhood.

Her family life is not rich, but she has a large collection of books. Due to the influence of her family environment and the teachings of her father and brother, she has been familiar with scriptures and various classics since she was a child. A learned scholar. 】

[Looking at his daughter who is growing up and becoming more and more delicate, Ban Biao has a sense of pride that there is a girl in my family who has grown up.

When Ban Zhao was 14 years old, Cao Shishu from the same county became Ban Zhao's husband after many screenings by his parents. 】

[The two of them were very affectionate after they got married and lived a sweet and happy life.

However, the good times didn't last long. Only a few years later, Cao Shishu died of illness, and Ban Zhao became a widow overnight.

The family is very worried about Ban Zhao, because she is young and cannot control many things by herself, and they are worried that she will do something that will damage the face of her husband's family, but their worries are superfluous.

Although Ban Zhao was young at this time, she strictly abided by women's morals and never thought of remarrying.

In her opinion, the more lonely and widowed she is, the more etiquette and integrity she has to do beyond ordinary people.

After the news of this move, even the Emperor Han and the emperor looked sideways at it, ordered Ban Zhao to be summoned many times, and specially asked her to go to the harem, so that all the concubines in the harem could learn from her. 】

【Ban Zhao was flattered to be summoned by Emperor Hanhe, so she naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to show off her abilities.

For the convenience of addressing, the concubines also called Ban Zhao "everyone", so Ban Zhao's reputation became more and more famous, and gradually spread to the ears of Queen Mother Deng.

After seeing Ban Zhao, Queen Mother Deng admired this dignified girl very much.

After the Empress Dowager Deng came to court, she also allowed Ban Zhao to participate in the discussion of state affairs.

Although she can intervene in government affairs, Ban Zhao herself has no ambitions. She just calmly put forward many constructive suggestions for Queen Mother Deng. 】

"Is my big man's woman so tough?" Liu Bang looked at Ban Zhao blankly, and he couldn't help but think of his wife, the tough woman called "Queen of Henkel".

Liu Che was displeased and murmured silently. His involvement in politics with foreign relatives really cast a shadow over him.
On the contrary, Liu Xiu felt that the problem was not a big deal. After all, didn’t the video say that Ban Zhao had no ambitions, and just finished his job in a peaceful manner.
