E Huang NV Ying

E Huang NV Ying, also known as Huang Ying. In ancient Chinese mythology, the two daughters of Emperor Yao married Emperor Shun. They have a common biological son, Shang Jun. Shun's father was stubborn, his mother was stubborn, and his younger brother was inferior. He wanted to kill Shun many times, but he was finally rescued by the help of E's daughter Ying. Shun succeeded Yao and was the concubine of the daughter of e emperor Ying. Later, Shun went to the south for inspection and died in Cangwu. The two imperial concubines went to find out that Emperor Shun was dead and buried in the foot of Jiuyi mountain. They held the bamboo and cried bitterly. Their tears dyed the green bamboo and died. They were called "Xiaoxiang bamboo" or "Xiangfei bamboo". Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the love myth between Xiangjun, the God of Xiangjiang River, and xiangmadame has evolved into the legend of Shun, e emperor and nvying. Later generations called the second daughter "Madam Xiang" because of her association.

Role experience

E Huang NV Ying is a character in ancient mythology. More than 4000 years ago, Emperor Shun's second imperial concubine (e Huang Nu Ying), Yao saw that Shun had both political integrity and ability, was upright, fair, hardworking and popular, so he abdicated his position as leader to shun (although there are other records, let's discuss it for a moment), and married his two daughters, e Huang Nu Ying, to shun. The two sisters gave birth to Shang Jun, a son of Shun.

When the second daughter married Shun, who was the official palace and who was the concubine, Yao and his wife argued endlessly. It is said that King Shun was going to move to Puban at that time. Yao ordered his two daughters to start from Pingyang to Puba at the same time. Which one came first, which one was the main palace; which one came later, which one was the partial imperial concubine. After listening to her father's words, e Huang's daughter Ying prepared to go to Pu ban. E Huang is a simple girl, so she strides across a big horse and gallops forward. And nvying talks about ostentation, goes by car, and chooses to drive by mule. But in the hot summer, the animal was sweating. Passing by the north of Xiyang village, he met a stream. The second daughter took a break to let the animals drink to quench their thirst so that they could continue on their way. On the way, however, the mule that nvying was driving was about to give birth to a foal, so the car stopped. At this time, e Huang's horse has been galloping in the distant journey, and nvying was influenced by the mule to give birth to a colt, and was far behind. The position of empress Zhenggong was captured by e emperor. She was angry and scolded mules for not giving birth to foals in the future. Therefore, it is said that mules who do not conceive and have no foals are all sealed by nvying.

Later generations will be two female livestock drinking place, called e Ying spring, Xiangfen County, near Xiyang village.

It is also said that Emperor Shun visited the Yangtze River after 39 years in power. Unfortunately, he died in the field of Cangwu and was buried on Mount Jiuyi. After hearing the bad news, the two ladies went to the south to look for King Shun. Two girls are on the edge of Xiangjiang River, looking at Jiuyi mountain, crying bitterly. Their tears are splashed on the bamboos, and the bamboos become the "spotted bamboos" in the south. The "spotted bamboos" are also called Xiangfei bamboos. When Shun died, the empress of E-Huang and her daughter Ying jumped into the surging Xiangjiang River and became the goddess of Xiangjiang River. They were called Xiang Jun (Shun), Xiang Fei (E-Huang and her daughter Ying) or Xiang Madame.

The Chu people mourned and changed the name of Dongting mountain to Junshan, and built tombs and temples for them. In fact, the tomb is also simple and crude. In front of the tomb, there is a tombstone with a big book "Tomb of Emperor Yu's two concubines". There are stone steps in front of the tomb, and a passageway paved with stone below the stone steps. On both sides of the stone tablets are carved the portraits of the two imperial concubines and the excellent works of poets of all ages: on the north side are the Xiangjun and xiangmadame in Qu Yuan's Lisao; on the south side are the chanting poems of Tang and Song Dynasties and even modern people; on the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, Chang Jian and Liu Yuxi; on the Qing Dynasty, zhao gu; and on the modern people, Lu Xun also have the sentence of "I don't know where to hang Xiangjun" . In front of the tomb, a pair of watchposts, nearly 3 meters high, are engraved with a couplet inscribed by Shu Shaoliang: "the two spirits of the monarch and the imperial concubine are eternal; all the bamboos and bamboos are spotted and one person is in tears.". There are many bamboos around the tomb of Xiang imperial concubine. There are spots on the bamboos, which look like tears. It is said that the two imperial concubines shed tears on Emperor Shun before they threw into Xiang River. There is a poem in gaopian of Tang Dynasty that says, "Emperor Yu's visit to the south does not return, and the two imperial concubines complain about the clouds and water. How much blood and tears did you know at that time? Up to now, bamboo is still spotted. " In 1961, Chairman Mao Zedong, after listening to the report on Hunan's production and construction from his hometown Hunan, was excited and wrote down the brilliant poem "Qilu · answering friends". At the beginning, he expressed his emotion by borrowing the allusions of Shun and Mrs. Xiang: "white clouds fly on Jiuyi mountain, and the emperor is green under the wind. A thousand tears of bamboos and a hundred heavy clothes of rosy clouds. "

Anecdotes of characters

E Huang's daughter Ying was Yao's daughter-in-law and Shun's daughter-in-law in ancient times. At the beginning, in order to choose a good successor, Emperor Yao sent his two precious daughters to marry Shun and work as "undercover" around him to test the virtues of Shun, the candidate leader of the country.

Shun's family relationship was complicated. His father was blind and confused. Shun's mother died early. His father and mother married him a stepmother and gave birth to two half children. His younger brother is Xiang, and his younger sister is Yongshou. It is conceivable that it is a challenging job to be a good daughter-in-law in such a family. Fortunately, these two beauties are very virtuous. They never make trouble because of their noble birth. They have always been very considerate to the sons and daughters of the Shun family. Therefore, the records of the historian praised them as "very feminine.". It's a pity that Shun's stepmother can't tolerate him, and always wants to kill him, so that she can take all the property over to her parents and children. One year, Emperor Yao was very happy because of Shun's outstanding achievements, so he gave his son-in-law some rewards. Among them were clothes (xigebu clothes) and a piano. In addition, he helped him build a barn and gave some cattle and sheep. It was these seemingly ordinary gifts that made stepmother's heart beat. What's more, Shun's dazed father was so confused that he took an active part in the "family conspiracy". As a daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law of e Huang, although she is in the eye, can only be anxious in the heart. Because if they give their husband a "little report" and blow "pillow side wind", they will be suspected of destroying the "harmonious family". Moreover, as the future "first ladies", their every move is related to the demonstration and enlightenment significance of "Motherhood". Therefore, they take a cautious approach to the internal contradictions of the "first family", and can only take more precautions secretly to protect their husbands.

Once, he asked Shun to paint on the roof (mend the barn with soil). Before working, Shun first "asked" the two wives. The wives said that they would go, but they must bring two hats. Shun very listen to his wife's words, then obediently with two hats, climb on the roof to work. As soon as he went up, the old man and the elephant immediately took away the ladder and set it on fire. At this time, the two hats came in handy. Shun took one in one hand and jumped down from the room as if he had wings. Once again, he asked Shun to dig a well. As soon as Shun got down to the bottom of the well, his father and brother rushed to fill the well with earth and wanted to bury him alive. Fortunately, Shun's two wives had been cultivated by his father-in-law, his mother-in-law and his younger brother-in-law's endless "conspiracy" and "conspiracy". They let Shun dig a secret passage on the side wall of the well in advance, and then they saved their lives.

From the analysis of the above events, including the circumstantial evidence that "the father is stubborn and the mother is noisy" in the history books, Shun's father may have some brain problems, otherwise, he can't understand why he wanted to kill his son, and he is still so happy. Judging from common sense, it is only this kind of possibility that Shun will listen to his wife's words, and he and his two wives can be so tolerant and magnanimous.

According to a reasonable guess, a series of conspiracy events may be greedy, like a mastermind. This can be seen from the conversation when he and his parents are going to divide up Shun's property. At that time, after filling the well, Xiang thought that Shun would surely die, so he immediately asked for credit and said, "this idea came from me." Then he said generously, "I'll take the two wives of Shun and the Qin that Yao gave him. I'll take the cattle, the sheep and the barn."

When Xiang can't wait to run to shun's house and play with Shun's piano, Shun comes in from the outside. The elephant was very surprised and embarrassed. He immediately put on a sullen look and said, "I'm thinking of you. I'm so bored!" Shun said, "yes, you are really a brother." According to the history books, after the baptism of "domestic violence", Shun was still kind-hearted, served his parents and brothers as before, and was more respectful.

All this shows that Shun is a very sensible person, and his two wives can read such a difficult "family classic" so smoothly, which shows how smart and virtuous they are. With their wisdom and tolerance, they not only greatly improved Shun's reputation, but also defused the family crisis skillfully. It's no wonder that later generations listed the two in the biography of Lienv as the first in the biography of Mu Yi, saying that "the two imperial concubines were virtuous and virtuous", and even praised them for the heavyweight words in the book of songs, such as "not showing only virtue, but also punishing them".
