Chunshenjun Huang Xie and Qu Yuan
The biggest thing that Huang Xie and Qu Yuan have in common is that they are both from the Chu state and were famous celebrities during the Warring States Period. politician. However, there are huge differences in the life experiences of the two. By understanding these two people, it is easier for us to understand the history of Chu State and why Chu State declined.
Portrait of Qu Yuan
Huang Xie was an important minister during the period of King Kaolie of Chu. His official rank was Ling Yin, and his fiefdom included twelve counties. Later, he was also appointed as the prime minister, which shows that his status in Chu State can be said to be a powerful one, which is in sharp contrast to his early abject experience. Just when his career was at its peak, he was assassinated by a villain, ending his life.
As a rising star, Qu Yuan was mainly active during the period of King Huai of Chu. I became a Zuo disciple at a young age. What is the concept of Zuo disciple? That is one rank lower than Ling Yin. It can be seen that Qu Yuan had smooth sailing in his early years. He discussed national affairs with King Huai of Chu and played an important role in resisting Qin. His various measures made the Chu country strong and powerful and powerful among the princes. But later, King Huai of Chu, a trusted villain, was deceived into going to Qin and died in a foreign country. When Qu Yuan saw that the gate of Chu State had been breached, he was disheartened and threw himself into the Miluo River to his death.
Throughout their lives, the two of them were officials and senior executives, and they had an important impact on the Chu State, which caused the Chu State's strength to flourish for a short period of time. However, both of them were persecuted by villains in their later years and could not enjoy their old age in peace.
The difference between the two is that Huang Xie fell into decline early, while Qu Yuan was just the opposite, and Qu Yuan had much more influence in later generations than him. At least later generations created a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan and worship him every year. And Huang Xie died so strangely, before he could display his talents.
In "The Biography of Miyue", the relationship between the two people is that of master and apprentice. There is no such record in history. Huang Xie's hometown
Regarding the issue of Huang Xie's hometown, CCTV once discussed this issue in a program. In the first issue of 2010, he made a judgment that his hometown is now Maliu Town, Da County, Sichuan. This judgment is not false, but is a judgment made by experts based on numerous historical records and field investigations.
The ruins of Huang Xie’s hometown
According to the "Xinding Jiuyu Zhi" of the Northern Song Dynasty and subsequent historical records, Huang Xie’s hometown is in Wanqingchi, and according to Sichuan Province According to various county annals, Wanqing Pond is located in Daxian County. There is a Lanni Lake in Maliu Town now. According to the local people, this is the legendary Wanqing Lake. And on the mountain, there is a dilapidated temple called Dizang Temple, with couplets about Huang Xie written on it.
Why do we say that our hometown is in Daxian, Sichuan, and not other places, such as Huangchuan in Henan, Changde in Hunan, and Wuhan in Hubei? These statements have certain consistency, but it is definitely in Daxian, then It is well-founded.
At least the chronicles left over from past dynasties record that Huang Xie’s hometown was in Daxian. And in the longest-preserved chronicle book, "Qianlong Dazhou Chronicle", which was written in 1742, Huang Xie is mentioned in the preface of this book. So this is our basis.
In addition to these, folk legends can also provide us with strong evidence. 1. The hometown of Chun Shenjun; 2. Wei Ge Lao Kaihe, etc... At least four of these folk tales are about Huang Xie. Huang Xie has passed for so long, but the local people still remember his legend. It can be seen that He was born here, so people will commemorate him. These legends are now well known to the older generation of local people and must be passed down so that more people can remember Huang Xie. Huang Xie's title
The ancients had their own particularities in titles. Most of them would summarize and evaluate the person by place name, official title, or the honorific title or posthumous title given by future generations. Huang Xie was originally from the Chu state. He once served as the prime minister of Chu. He traveled far and wide. He was a learned man and was good at debating.
Statue of Chun Shenjun
Not long after King Kaolie of Chu came to the throne, he was appointed as the magistrate of Chu State, with a high and powerful position. He was also granted the title of Lord Chunshen and the fiefdom of twelve counties in Huaibei. Then, some people may wonder why the King of Chu named him Chun Shenjun. What does it mean?
According to historical records, Chunshen is the name of the city, and Huang Xie's fiefdom is in that area. Jun is the name of an ancient official title, which was only used before the Han Dynasty and was canceled after that. Huang Xie's title is Jun, so when his titles are combined, he is naturally Chunshen Jun. Speaking of this king, there was also Lord Xinling during the Warring States Period, but by the Han Dynasty, this title was generally given to women who were relatives of relatives. Of course, it was also given to men, but they were all given to the descendants of saints.
Our understanding of the word Jun is that it refers to those people with noble conduct. From this aspect, we can think that Huang Xie's official position is high, but we can also see that Huang Xie's character is also good, otherwise the King of Chu would not make him king.
Huang Xie's prestige in Chu State was far-reaching. He recruited a large number of followers, up to more than 3,000 people, most of whom were aggressive and aggressive. He recruited so many people to compete for wise men to assist his king.
It can be seen that his conduct is good, otherwise there would not be so many diners coming to seek refuge. He once sent troops to attack Qin and even destroyed Lu. It's just that Lord Chun Shen was killed due to internal strife. Huang Xie and Mi Yue in history
As "The Legend of Mi Yue" is about to be released, it has attracted a lot of people's attention. This TV series is adapted from the novel of the same name, and this novel is adapted from the original novel. Some historical figures are fictionalized and Mi Yue's life is used throughout the entire TV series.
Bronze Statue of Chun Shenjun
The prototype of Mi Yue is the famous Empress Dowager Xuan in history. She was originally the youngest daughter of King Wei of Chu, commonly known as Mi Bazi. And why do people call her Miyue? That's because the word "Mi Yue" that remains among the unearthed terracotta warriors and horses, and the "Mi Yue" engraved on the tiles in Epang Palace, together, we speculate that it is called Mi Yue. After she married to the Qin Kingdom, she gave birth to a son and helped her son win the throne, making suggestions and clearing all kinds of obstacles. Because King Zhaoxiang of Qin was young, Empress Dowager Xuan took charge of national affairs as Queen Mother. She stayed in court for more than 30 years and became the first queen mother in history. It can be seen that this female politician has a deep heart to embark on this path.
The prototype of Huang Xie is the famous Chun Shenjun in history. His early circumstances were poor, but his birth was noble. He went to Qin twice, both to protect Chu and even rescued Prince Xiong. This was the future King Kaolie of Chu and the key to Huang Xiewei's rise. The King of Chu appointed him as a high official, and even named him Lord Chunshen, allowing him to assist him in handling large and small affairs. Huang Xie lived up to his trust and made Chu the best among the princes. Lian Fang's campaign expanded the area of ??Chu State and strengthened Chu State's power. But after the six kingdoms united and failed to attack Qin, the King of Chu began to ignore Huang Xie. Soon after, he was assassinated by the villain Li Yuan. The ending of Mi Yue and Huang Xie
Historically, Mi Yue was originally from the Qin State, but in "The Biography of Mi Yue", Mi Yue's origin was set in the Chu State, and it was King Wei of Chu The princess she loved the most was finally married to the State of Qin, and then started her own legendary life. She married into the Qin Kingdom with her sister Mi Shu. She was just a favored concubine at first. After she gave birth to a son, her sister began to suppress Mi Yue. The final result was that Mi Yue married the power of King Qu, then regained the Qin Kingdom, helped her son ascend the throne of God, and became the first Queen Mother in Chinese history, and later generations called her Queen Mother Xuan. She ruled Qin for more than thirty years and played an important role in the development of Qin. For the sake of the country's peace, Mi Yue spared no effort and buried all the Qin soldiers with her, becoming the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
Miyue, the iron-blooded queen mother
These are just narratives developed by the novelist based on a little bit of existing history to tell Miyue’s life. Her ending is adulthood. She became the Queen Mother and was very famous, but she was also sad. She lost her first love, Huang Xie.
Huang Xie accompanied Mi Yue to marry to the Qin State. On the way, he was attacked by Zhai Li. In order to save Mi Yue, Huang Xie unfortunately fell into the cliff during the fight. Many people thought he just died, but he did not die and has been in Xianyang. Later, Mi Yue learned of his location, and Huang Xie asked her to make another choice, but Mi Yue still chose to go to Qin. Huang Xie lost his first love in this way.
In history, Huang Xie was killed by the villain Li Yuan, or by King Chu You. In short, he died miserably. But in the TV series, Huang Xie and his first love fell in love and killed each other. It was painful for both of them, so the ending of the two of them can be imagined.
