Feng Menglong was born in a scholarly family. When he was young, he was smart and easy to read. Feng Menglong, like many people, focused on the imperial examinations when he was young. In "Fa Fan", he wrote: I studied since I was a child, asked everyone, and the secrets of all directions were sparse; After 20 years of painstaking efforts, I have learned more. Wang Ting once commented on him: "For thousands of years, the history of 2 1 century has been turned over." It is such a talented and knowledgeable person who is known as the first hero of ancient popular literature, but his road to the imperial examination is really bumpy. He failed many times in the imperial examination, and only made up the tribute students at the age of 57. 6 1 year-old was sent to Shouning, Fujian as a small magistrate. Feng Menglong's misfortune created great wealth for future generations. It is precisely because of the repeated failures in the imperial examination that Feng Menglong, who was disheartened, stayed at home and concentrated on writing a book, which led to the famous "Sanyan" and many literary works.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, scholars competed for self-liberation. At that time, it was normal for literati to indulge in drinking and debauchery. And the pursuit of famous prostitutes, spending a lot of money to laugh at Nabo is a hot commodity for literati. At that time, all the literati rushed to make friends with famous prostitutes. In such a social atmosphere, Feng Menglong and Hou Huiqing, one is a romantic genius and the other is a famous prostitute in Suzhou. If there is no emotional entanglement between them, I am really sorry for that era.
Feng Menglong met Hou Huiqing, a minor celebrity at that time, in "Free and unfettered Fireworks", and since then he has moved his true feelings towards this famous prostitute in Suzhou. Because of her, how many famous love stories have been left, and how many excellent works have been left because of her. If these two people, there is a most appropriate sentence, that is, they will never miss each other for a lifetime.
Hou Huiqing is not only a woman with good color and art, but also a strong mind at that time, so it is no wonder that Feng Menglong has the deepest affection for her among so many women in his life. Feng Menglong's Many Folk Songs: I tried to ask Hou Huiqing, a famous prostitute, "There are so many people in your generation, how can it be chaotic?" "No," he said. I have an examination case in Cao's chest. Additional donations, that is, only a handful, first, second or even ten, are in good order. He also rises and falls in the meantime, depending on the weather or thickness. If you have exotic materials, you might as well be interested. That is, the lifelong result, see this as a picture, not on it, turn to the second. What a mess? "I sighed for a long time.
However, after all, it is fate. Hou Huiqing married a wealthy businessman after marriage, and has no intersection with Feng Menglong since then. After losing his beloved, Feng Menglong left the words "Ziyouzi lost Huiqing, so she lost the beauty of a brothel". After losing Hou Huiqing, Feng Menglong never set foot in a brothel again, which shows his deep affection.
It was in his love with Hou Huiqing that Feng Menglong got first-hand information about the life of the people at the bottom, and at that time he created a collection of folk songs, Guizhi Er and Folk Songs. Postscript to the second volume of Hang Zhi and Thanksgiving: "I have memorized 30 poems by Hou Huiqing. In the last chapter, I said that poetry is always drunk and never talks. When I am sick, the door is always closed. It is the most miserable life, and I want to summon the soul on the tomb of Yuanyang. " Let future generations see that these two people are predestined friends, and they love each other sadly.
Feng Menglong died at the age of 73. Regardless of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, he actively opposed the Qing Dynasty. After the country was broken, he died of depression There is also a saying that he was killed by the Qing army at the age of 73.
