Rui (birth and death unknown), female, whose original surname was Zhou and given name Youfang, was a female poet in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty. Born in a humble background, she studied music, rituals, poetry, and calligraphy since she was a child. She became a prostitute in Taizhou and changed her stage name to Yan Rui. He is good at playing the piano, playing chess, singing and dancing, silk and bamboo, calligraphy and painting. He is knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, and his poems have fresh meaning. He is famous all over the world, and people come from thousands of miles away to visit him. In the ninth year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1182), Tang Zhongyou, the magistrate of Taizhou, settled Yan Rui, Wang Hui and other four people, and returned to Huangyan to live with his mother. In the same year, Zhu Xi, an envoy from Changping in eastern Zhejiang Province, visited Taizhou. Because Tang Zhongyou’s Yongkang school opposed Zhu Xi’s Neo-Confucianism, Zhu Xi impeached Tang Zhongyou in six articles. The third and fourth articles discussed the crime of Tang Zhongyou and Yan Rui’s corruption, and ordered Huangyan to arrest him. Yan Rui was arrested, imprisoned in Taizhou and Shaoxing, and whipped to force him to confess. Yan said: "As a lowly prostitute, even if she has sex with the eunuch, she will not die. However, if it is not true or false, how can she make false claims to taint the scholar-bureaucrats? Even if she is dead, she cannot be falsely accused." This matter was discussed in the government and the public, which shocked Xiaozong.
Zhu Xi changed his official position, Yue Lin was appointed to Tidian Prison, and Yan Rui was released and asked about her fate. Yan Rui's "Business Master": "It's not that you are in love with the world, but you seem to be misled by the past. Flowers fall and bloom in their own time, and they always rely on the emperor of the East. They must go eventually, and how can they live? If you have a head full of mountain flowers, don't ask the slaves Return home." Yue Lin was ordered to be a concubine by the Zhao Song clan. Many of his poems have been lost, but only three such as "Ru Meng Ling", "Magpie Bridge Immortal" and "Bu Suan Zi" remain. The drama "Don't Ask Where the Slave Returns" adapted from it has been performed for a long time.
His story is contained in "The Surprise of Two Moments".
It is said that there was a senior official in the Tiantai Camp, whose surname was Yan Rui, whose alias was Youfang. She was a stunningly beautiful woman. Yi Yingqin, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, orchestral music, etc., is all-encompassing. He is good at composing poems and often writes new sentences of his own, which are admired by poets. He also knows a lot about ancient and modern stories. He behaves with the most sincerity and always treats others sincerely. Therefore, no one who saw him did not lose their soul in him. People from all over the world heard about his famous name, and young people who admired him traveled thousands of miles to Taizhou to ask for acquaintance. It's exactly this: after ten years of not knowing the king's face, I finally believed that Chanjuan had misunderstood him.
The prefect of Taizhou at this time was Yuzheng of Tang Dynasty, named Zhongyou. He was a talented young man with a romantic and literary talent. According to the law of the Song Dynasty, if the government had wine, all the singing girls would be invited to accept it. They would only stand and sing and serve wine, and they were not allowed to serve privately at the table. However, even if they were flirting with him, it was not a lot of fun. Zhongyou was delighted to see Yan Rui in such perfect condition, and he showed his care for her. He was restrained by the officials and did not dare to act recklessly. But on good days, festivals, or at the guest table, he will definitely be called to have a drink. One day, the red and white peach blossoms were in full bloom. Zhongyou bought some wine to enjoy, but Yan Rui Shao couldn't come to serve it. While drinking, Zhongyou knew that he was good at poetry and chanting, so he took red and white peach blossoms as the title and composed a small poem. Yan Rui responded with a line of words:
The Tao is for pear blossoms, not the Tao for apricot blossoms. White and red, especially the east style. I once remembered that I was slightly drunk in Wuling. ——Ci sent to "Ru Meng Ling".
After chanting, present it to Zhongyou. Zhongyou was overjoyed to see Bi and rewarded him with two pieces of silk.
Another day, it was Chinese Valentine's Day, and there was a banquet in the mansion. Zhongyou has a friend, Xie Yuanqing, who is very forthright and generous. He was also at the table that day. He had always heard Yan Youfang's name, and he was very happy to meet her now. After seeing his actions, chatting and singing, all of which were touching, he said: "It is indeed well-deserved!" He drank and drank, and his interest became more and more intense. He said to the prefect of the Tang Dynasty: "I have heard for a long time that this son is good at poetry and poetry. Can you try it in person?" Zhongyou said: "Since there are good guests, it is appropriate to compose new poetry. This son is quite capable, and you can ask for advice." Yuan Qing said: " I took the Chinese Valentine's Day as the title, used Xiaosheng's surname as the rhyme, and asked for the word "Xiaosheng should drink three big pots". Yan Rui took the order and chanted:
The first fall of Biwu. , The fragrance of cinnamon is just spitting out, and the water flowers on the pond are beginning to fade. The needle-piercing man is in the Hehuan Tower, and the dew of the first month of the month is high on the jade plate. Spiders are busy and magpies are lazy, plowing and weaving are weary, and they talk about ancient and modern stories in vain. It’s just a new year in the human world, and I’m afraid it’s just another year in the sky. ——Ci to "Magpie Bridge Immortal"
The poem had been recited, and Yuanqing had just finished two of the three cups of wine when he jumped up and said: "The poem is novel, the tone is suitable for the scene, and it is thoughtful. You are so agile! How lucky am I to be blessed with this gift?" He said, "Young Master Young Fang also wants to drink from this pot. I can see the admiration of this young man." Yan Rui took it and ate it. . When the eunuch saw the two of them, he said, "Yuan Qing is visiting, so you can go to Yan Zi's house to accompany you for a while.
The guests were afraid that he would be hurtful, so they took him to the theater to relax. He said there were too many other places and refused to go, but he didn't agree to come with him until he got to Yan Rui's house. Yan Rui saw this man's face full of sadness and asked if he was suffering from the loss of his wife. He knew that he was a sentimental person and kept it in his heart. The clan also admired Yan Rui's name, and they were happy with each other while drinking, so they stayed. After a long relationship, she finally took Yan Rui as my concubine. Yan Rui also followed him wholeheartedly, which resulted in lifelong consequences. Although he didn't get a wife or a county king, the clan was so proud of themselves after marrying Yan Rui that they didn't continue the marriage. One root at a time, she established a wife's name and enjoyed it to the end. This is also the reward for Yan Rui's upright heart. Later generations commented that Yan Rui truly taught Taoism. There is an ancient poem with seven words, which just talks about its benefits:
Heaven has a wonderful possession of Jurchen, and the swipe of a brush can bring blessings to Xie Tingxue.
Applying powder to the governor of Yuhou’s banquet, the drunkenness may not necessarily extinguish the candle.
Suddenly the superintendent came flying to greet him, and the Yang Yang swooped across to grab the ground.
Zhangtai does not violate the rules of being a judge, and Feishi will spare no effort in historical matters.
Why should a lowly person take his death lightly? How can he bear the slanderous words of a gentleman?
If the crime is not serious, the punishment can be answered, and the power of the jailer will only be heard.
The prince can speak without deceiving himself, but he sends his woman to falsely accuse him!
Although it is not his crime to be in prison, how can he forget the words of the nun’s father?
Don’t you see,
At that time, the King of Bai Zhao, even though he was naked, was still strong?
Even if you have an eyebrow today, I will smell the fragrance of chivalry for thousands of years!
A man with a frown and a smile appears, and a voice with closed eyes and eyebrows.
When my husband returns home with a lot of mountain flowers, he has his own case of Liang Hong in Huang.
There are also descendants who admire Yan Rui who wrote a series of poems, saying that this alone cannot give a glimpse of Fangze’s regret.
"Like a Dream Ling · Love Yan Rui"
The night is a perfect match for the weather, with red and white peaches and plums in the window.
The sentiment is still there, but it’s so sad that I can’t see my old friend’s words.
So sad!
Draw a circle instead.
