Searching for, lost in the Tang Dynasty that a wisp of incense soul

Two years ago, I had driven alone to the north bank of the Wei River, around a village in the town of Beidu for a long time, trying to find a person, a long time buried by history, intelligent, beautiful woman, but I, did not wish.

South to north years, plowshares, has been this land plowed over and over again; bubbling east to the Wei River, has long been sprinkled in the palace foundation stone on the blood, clean. Strangers on the ancient road, can no longer see the imperial chariot from the Tang Palace; Lang Lang sky, can no longer be heard, scattered in the wind, that a sigh of complaint.

Looking for a person, a deceased 1300 years of Tang Zhaorong.

Because, this person, she is still alive, living in the vast historical books, living in the glittering Tang poetry, living in the film and television dramas that have been repeatedly interpreted by present-day people ......

Her name is: Shangguan Wan'er.

Wan Er, a name that attracts people's love. Only, should not be involved with the "Shangguan". But "Shangguan" is her family name, she can not choose, and can not change the flow in the body of the Shangguan family blood.

In the first year of Lin De (664 AD), her grandfather Shangguan Yi committed the crime of "killing the head", incurring the disaster of extermination. The newborn Wan Er, in an instant, together with her mother, from the distinguished family nobility, reduced to a servant girl in the court. But also because of the Shangguan family lineage, inherited the genes of his grandfather's poetry and good governance. Since her childhood, Wan Er was extremely intelligent and was y favored by Empress Zetian. Since then, in this is both the enemy and benefactor of the dragon robe under the protection of Wan Er's ill-fated fate, to change.

And the return of love to the Tang Emperor Li Xian, Prince, also made her the imperial consort, in charge of the internal court and the outside of the court's political orders, to take up the post of prime minister without a name, and enjoy the glory of the world.

In Dengcun North, Weicheng District, Xianyang City, 4.2 kilometers away from Xianyang Airport, a new modern city is being nurtured and growing, which will be a small piece of "Tang land".

On June 22, 2019, the Shaanxi Prose Society came here again. Behind a huge stone engraved with "Tang Zhaorong Shangguan's Park", I finally met Shangguan Waner, the "female prime minister" of the Tang Dynasty.

At the moment, she is lying quietly under a side of soil that has been razed to the ground.

Standing in front of her grave, my mind suddenly jumped out of these three words:

Born in disaster, survived in the smart, finally miserable.

These three sentences are a reflection of Shangguan Wan Er's life.

I have always regarded Emperor Xuanzong of Tang as a wise ruler, and I can't associate him with the executioner who killed Wan Er. He was still able to do to Yang Yuhuan, "in the sky would like to be a bird with wings, in the ground would like to be a branch", what a man of love and righteousness, why refused to let go of a talented and beautiful, can be used by me to lose the power of a weak girl's life?

Separated from the grass and yellow soil, I seem to see Wan Er weeping tears, mournful sad eyes.

In her hand, she held with Princess Taiping drafted Li Chongmao as the Crown Prince's posthumous edict. Full of thought with this posthumous edict, can prove themselves and Wei group clear boundaries, and Li Tang clan a heart, can escape this killing, but history did not leave her loyalty and continue to show the opportunity to talent.

The first time I've seen this, I've seen a lot of people who have been in the same boat. Perhaps then she really understood, walking in the palace, standing on the wrong side, with the wrong person, is a terrible and unforgivable error. The fate of her grandfather has come back to haunt her. This time, she was no longer lucky, nor was she merely sentenced by the Queen to "branding her face". The first time I saw him, I was in the middle of the night, and he was in the middle of the night, and he was in the middle of the night.

At that moment, even though she was so reluctant and unwilling to give up, there was nothing she could do.

A stream of blood, along with the falling blade splash, stained half of the sky of the Great Tang Dynasty.

Through the glass of the floor cover, you can still see photos of the interior of the tomb during the 2013 archaeological excavation. It is reported that the tomb has been subjected to large-scale destruction, the hidden artifacts have been emptied, no traces of the coffin.

A generation of women, but this is the death of a woman, buried in the wilderness, and after the death of the still can not rest in peace ......

Perhaps it is the conscience of the bar, a number of years later, Emperor Xuanzong ordered, gathered the poetry of Wan'er, written into the Tang Zhaorong Shangguan's anthology of twenty volumes, published in the world.

Finally, someone remembers Wan Er's good. The first time I saw her, I was so happy to see her, and she was so happy to see me.

At that time, the Great Tang, a group of shining stars, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi ...... can be said to be unprecedented, no one will come after.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty, up to the official, down to the civilian, the wind of chanting throughout the countryside.

At that time, the emperor, the pen can poetry, open mouth can chant, and can cherish the good poetry of people. Therefore, Li Bai had the opportunity to go deep into the palace and the Emperor Xuanzong, the Princess of poetry and singing, only to leave the "Rex off the boots" of the good news.

At one time, I have been puzzled, why the Tang Dynasty is so important to poetry and words?

It turned out that Wan Er persuaded the emperor to set up the Zhaowenkan Bachelor, widely summoned the court of the words of the ministers, organized poetry competitions, evaluation of the good and bad, and appreciate the best works, and carried the banner of prosperity of the Tang Dynasty poetry, and led a generation of literary style.

Leaves under the Dongting early, thinking of the king for ten thousand miles.

The dew is thick, the fragrance is cold, and the moon is falling.

I want to play the song of Jiangnan, and I want to seal the book of Jibei.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good look at you, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get a good look at you.

Look at Wan Er's work "colorful book of complaints", write how deep and lingering, through the talent is not the court before the light can be covered.

Known as the "pre-Kaiyuan generation of the literary father" of the famous Tang Dynasty prime minister Zhang said that Shangguan Wan'er's poetry and official are praised, had this evaluation: "keen knowledge of listening, micro-mirror mirror reason, open the volume of the sea, as if the former heard, shaking the pen Yunfei, into the same host structure, the ancient women have a female historian to record the book of the past, and then a woman Shangshu decides things say valve, the female Shangshu decides things. The female Shangshu decided to say valve, Zhaorong two dynasties and the United States, a day a million opportunities, the adviser does not miss, should be received as desired, although the Han said Ban Yuan, Jin reputation of the left old woman, the way of the article is not the same, the auxiliary of the work of the different."

It can be said to be extremely beautiful.

But such a talented, just in the prime of life of Wan Er, but unfortunately died in a palace coup.

Literature, should not become a political victim!

I am sorry for Wan Er!

Perhaps, there have been drunk into the tent of Wu Sansi after the wine; perhaps, there have been and Cui Chik eye to eye night; perhaps, in order to climb the dragon and phoenix, there have been against the heart of the flattery and betrayal, but as a woman, she has to dominate their own emotional power, so I understand her; as a young unprotected under the fence of the descendants of the decline of the nobility, she needs a hard armor, from this point of view, I understand her more! I understand her better.

So I don't want people to see only her weaknesses and not her strengths, or only her campy side and not the dilemmas and crises that she faces.

How I would like to be the hero who saves the beauty, appearing in front of her with a lightning bolt at the moment when the executioner raises the butcher's knife.

But that kind of opportunity is not my turn.

But that's not my chance. I can't take the knife for her through space and time.

Now, I can only use my hand to touch the words that contain her soul, to recognize her former happiness and pain.

According to legend, Wan Er is fond of books, the family has more than 10,000 volumes of books, books are hidden to incense, a hundred years later, the books fell into the folklore, still fragrant, no moths and rats bite.

It is said that Wan Er often like to read in front of the flowers, especially in the summer evening, accompanied by the fragrance of the hairpin flowers, savor the book's rhetoric.

Hopefully, I will be able to get Wan Er's best work and hide it.

It's a good thing that I'm not a big fan of the idea, but I'm a big fan of the idea that I'm not a big fan of the idea.

Leaving the Wan Er cemetery, walking in the wide and flat Airport New City Avenue, see the blue sky, on both sides of the Weihe River, along the way, the rise of a high-rise buildings, I have a kind of out-of-this-world feeling: this is still the Shangguan Wan Er used to live in that piece of land? If it is not because of the development and construction of new areas, the need for a large area of groundbreaking, people can still be in the countryside, find Wan Er's grave?

There is no high base, no exquisite burial goods, just with the stone in the ground circled a shape like the shape of the tomb. Compared to other royals, Wan Er's grave is indeed a bit simple, even a bit shabby, but finally preserved a resting place. Lying in the history books of the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, but also because of the discovery of this tomb, and become more and more close, vivid up.

If Wu Zetian rewrote the gender structure of China's imperial power, then, Shangguan Wan'er, the "women's prime minister", is the emergence of the female emperor together, the concept of gender equality for the first time in the country's highest level to be able to tamping, solid, and spread the next generation. The idea is that the woman's life is not a matter of the same.

And by Shangguan Wan'er to push up the Tang poetry, now has long been like Mount Everest standing in the Chinese land, no one can shake!
