Ye Xiaoluan is very clever. "When I was three or four years old, I dictated the words" 10,000 Tang Poems ","Flower Room "and" Caotang ",all of which became chanting, and I didn't leave a word in the last volume." When I was a teenager, I was able to write poetry. It was a wonderful sentence. At fourteen, I can play chess; Sixteen-year-old, good at playing the piano, with clear hearing. He is also good at painting, imitating scenery and writing Hua Die, which are attractive and his calligraphy is beautiful. Chen Tingzhuo, a famous poetess in the late Qing Dynasty, commented on her like this: "There was Li Yian before the poetess, and then there was Xu Xiangping. Winning Zhu at the end of the Ming Dynasty can be Li and Xu. " Almost tied her literary achievements with Li Qingzhao. Now people list her as one of the top ten talented women in ancient China.
She is very beautiful. At the age of twelve, she was as good as a piece of jade. Her mother, Shen Yixiu, commented on her: "Curly hair, eyebrows and cheeks, red lips and white teeth, charming nose, bright eyes and delicious food, no coquettish state, no pink gas." Compared with plum blossom, plum blossom is too thin; Not as clear as Haitang and Juehaitang. "Her father Ye Shao called her Yolanda's peerless figure. She was not proud of her beauty and said, "What is the value of a woman's beauty? Why would a father add it to her children? "
She is broad-minded, tired of prosperity, loves misty clouds and understands Zen. Don't like luxury, treat money like dirt, and have nothing to ask for. Every day, Wang Zijing's Ode to Luoshen or Huai Su's cursive script, no matter whether it is cold or hot, sit quietly under the north window, with a furnace of incense relatively all day long, accompanied by piano books.
Ye Xiaoluan died at the age of 17, only five days before he got married. As the saying goes, there are four happy events in life: a long drought meets dew, so an old friend meets a foreign land. Wedding night, for the first time. Who would have thought that it was the "Wedding Night" that approached, and Ye Xiaoluan's inexplicable fear of marriage seemed to have a pair of big hands tightly around her slender neck, so that the fragrance died and the daylights out of her.
How can a girl in her twenties and eighties be inexplicably afraid of getting married? The reason is mainly the unfortunate influence of the marriage of relatives around her. The first thing is the love tragedy of my sister Ye.
Ye was brilliant from an early age, with girlish romance and colorful life. However, the reality is cruel. In fact, her tragic life has been with her since she was born. Ye's father is called Ye. After Ye was born, his father was afraid that he would die young, so he was placed in a family named Yuan. As can be seen from the name, his original intention is not to forget Yuan's kindness. Ye He is Yuan's childhood sweetheart and a fellow scholar. In order to get married, when Ye Gang turned one year old, the two families made an appointment, and Ye's tragic life began. After seven years of marriage, Ye felt depressed and unhappy, so he became a passive hermit and had the idea of converting to Buddhism.
Another person who has a great influence on Ye Xiaoluan is her adoptive mother Zhang Qianqian, who is actually her aunt. Mother Shen Yixiu remembered that cousin Zhang Qianqian's children all died young (probably because of the marriage of close relatives), and her family was poor, so she gave Ye Xiaoluan to Zhang Qianqian and Shen Zizheng to raise.
Zhang Qianqian and Shen Zizheng love this adopted daughter very much and teach her carefully. And Ye Xiaoluan is very clever, so he was only three or four years old, and he was able to recite poems such as Ten Thousand Tang Poems fluently, word for word. At the age of ten, he died and was taken back to Ye's house to live.
Zhang Qianqian's inculcation of Ye Xiaoluan has contributed a lot to Xiao Luan's glory, but her bitterness and sadness, like cloves, have exerted a subtle influence on Ye Xiaoluan. It may be the premature death of the child, or the loneliness that her husband often goes out to live alone in an empty boudoir, which makes Zhang Qianqian feel depressed and dejected. Ye Xiaoluan, who lived with him for ten years, had an unforgettable experience.
Then there is the marriage between my parents and my second sister Ye Xiaowan. Although their marriages are good and happy, they live in poverty and lead a hard life all day. It is said that Ye Jia has eight sons and five daughters, and Ye Yuan Shao wanders around all day to make a living. His wife, Shen Yixiu, has to raise her mother-in-law and 13 children. She is worried about not eating a meal all day and thinking about the next meal. There was still a dowry to sell to supplement the family. Later, "a clever woman can't cook without rice." Ye Xiaoluan has a sensitive and delicate nerve, which makes her afraid of marriage.
Let's take a look at Ye Xiaoluan's five-character poem "Nine Days" to understand her mental journey and her last desire for life.
Jiuri
? Climb the stairs on the double ninth festival of the storm.
? Courtyard and courtyard compete for cold, and hedges are full of surprises.
? A bottle of wine from Ling Tao will make it difficult for people to get rid of eternal troubles.
? Full of clouds, when * * * geese sound flow.
This poem, together with Two Sisters Sitting Alone in Autumn Sunset, is Xiao Luan's masterpiece. Written in Chongzhen Five-year Double Ninth Festival (1632). When writing this poem, Xiao Luan's family was happily planning her marriage, and she showed no signs of discomfort. On September 15, my husband's family sent me a dowry. That night, Xiao Luan suddenly fell ill, which lasted until the morning of1October 1 1, and finally passed away five days before the ceremony.
Around the end of August and the beginning of September, Sister Wan made a special trip home to visit her sister. At the beginning of September, when the five families bid farewell to Wan Wan, they agreed to get together again on September 20th and send Xiao Luan to get married together. The Double Ninth Festival is in the middle of two periods. The Double Ninth Festival was originally a festival, but two sisters, the closest friends of Xiao Luan's boudoir, were far away from her in-laws' house and could not get together with her. At the same time, the wedding day is approaching. All the family members are busy happily. No one notices the change of Xiao Luan's mood, and no one feels her inner tension, anxiety and fear. She had to write all her feelings before marriage into this poem.
After Ye Xiaoluan's death, her sister Ye Wanwan was very sad and died 70 days later at the age of 23. In addition to her grief, the second sister Ye Xiaowan wrote a drama "Yuanyang Dream" to express her memory, and she became the first female dramatist in China.
Ye's family lived a happy life for several years. Once upon a time, Shen Yixiu and his three daughters lived a very comfortable life, although they were poor. However, since 1632, the third sister Xiao Luan, the eldest sister Wanwan, the second brother Shi Zhuo, the grandmother, the mother, the starling and the fifth brother passed away one after another, and Ye Xiaowan mourned constantly, especially the death of the eldest sister, the third sister and the mother, which was a great blow to her. Ye Xie later recalled: "Yu Bozhong's third sister's family advocated peace since childhood, and the second sister's family died early. The second sister eventually lost her right hand and often cried for her mother and brothers. She was not sad every day, so she was very worried about her death." Xiaowan is the oldest of the three sisters, so she has suffered a lot since Where are you going? In the later period, her poems became more and more sad. The elder sister's graceful sadness stems from the misfortune of marriage, and the sadness mainly comes from crying to death. The former residence of JD.COM Garden is a memorial work for the dead.

In the ancient garden dream, I wandered in the air. The rain is dry, green and covered with moss. The fallen flowers frighten the birds, and the birds turn over.
I found that it was dusk and the branches were full of plums. The moment of light is the saddest. Floating clouds follow the water, and the afterglow is on the barren platform.
East Garden is the back garden of Xiaowan's parents' afternoon dream hall, and it is a paradise where they used to play and sing together. The East Garden is to Ye Sisters what the Grand View Garden is to Twelve Hairpins in Jinling and the Herbal Garden is to Lu Xun. Since the separation of flesh and blood and the death of relatives, especially after the replacement of Ming and Qing dynasties, this paradise of youth has become a desolate paradise lost.
1645, the Qing soldiers went south to the south of the Yangtze River, and Ye took three sons to avoid chaos and left their homes forever. Soon, two sons died of eating poisonous bacteria by mistake, and Yuan Shao died of 1648. In the same year, Ye Xiaowan's husband died of illness. After this change in the world, Xiaowan unexpectedly returned to her hometown, and her feelings can be imagined. It can be inferred from the text that she wandered around the old garden for a long time, but all the striking places were the scenery that made her feel sad. The wet moss in the empty yard, helpless fallen flowers, boring flying sheep and countless green plums all attract grieving Xiaowan.
We felt the pain of Ye Xiaowan; Ye San's life experience made us cry. Crucially, a small leaf family has brought pain, thinking and enlightenment to each of us. ...
Write a postscript:
The first time I read Ye San's poems and life experiences, I felt a pain in my heart. I wanted to share this sad and touching story with my friends, but I couldn't find a connection. With the help of the Internet and other books, I extracted the poems of Shen Shi's mother and daughter. I couldn't sleep at midnight for two nights. I got up and read all the relevant information, but I still don't know how to write it. At three o'clock this morning, I was rambling about the story of three sisters. When I realized it, I quickly typed it on my mobile phone and learned about this unfinished thing, otherwise my life would be difficult to go on normally. More than three hours of busyness is not only a memory of Ye San's sisters, but also the end of his reading experience.
