Du Mu has a poem called "Bo Qinhuai", which reads: "A merchant girl doesn't know how to hate her country, but she still sings backyard flowers across the river." These two sentences mean that the singer doesn't know what the hatred of national subjugation is, but he is still singing "Flowers in Yushu Back Garden" across the river. In the decadent feudal society, women's status was low, and they were forced by men to drag out an ignoble existence. Sadly, it has to be a tool for men to compete for power and interests. The legendary woman to be told today is a famous prostitute Yang who doesn't know the hatred of national subjugation.

Yang, a famous prostitute in Qing Dynasty

Yang's real name is that her biological father sold her for money when she was young. Yang was brought up by a musician. She studied singing with her adoptive father Yang since childhood. Yang is very beautiful and has a good voice. She can choose some lewd songs to sing, attracting many romantic talents to support her performance. Soon, Yang became a famous local Peking Opera actor.

Yang is so beautiful and can sing. Naturally, many admirers are happy for her. Next, let's talk about the three men who have the greatest influence on Yang Yisheng.

The most spoony first love-Li Shutong.

Li Shutong was born in a wealthy family and read widely since childhood. His outstanding talent in dancing amazed the world. He shouldn't have gotten along with a brothel girl of superior birth like Yang, but he didn't know what Yang was doing, so he kept doing it. Yang appreciates the talent very much. The two of them spend a lot of time together, singing and reciting poems. Li Shutong always wanted to atone for the people he loved, and they lived a sweet life together.

Later, Li Shutong went to Shanghai on business. When he came back, this beautiful woman had married someone else. The first love ended without fruit, and Li Shutong was in deep pain, unable to extricate himself. He obeyed his parents' orders and married his wife, but he will never forget Yang. With the frustration of love and the corruption of the country, Li Shutong saw through the world of mortals, stayed away from his relatives and fled into an empty net. Li Shutong converted to Buddhism and cared for all beings with compassion.

The rich prince-in-in.

Duan is Yuan Shikai's subordinate. By chance, he found the beautiful Yang. In order to get an official position for himself, Duan dedicated Yang to his son Wang Zaizhen. Yang is a famous prostitute, so naturally she can't get in touch with monks and treasures. Jae-Jeong likes beautiful and moving Yang, and Yang becomes a phoenix with Jae-Jeong. Snacks and jewels that she once envied are now at her fingertips, and this luxurious life makes her intoxicated. Duan Xianmei succeeded and was promoted to Governor of Heilongjiang by Zaizhen.

However, the government henchmen who were dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai reported to Empress Dowager Cixi that Duan sent a famous actress to promote the son of the Qing prince, which shocked the whole country for a while. Empress Dowager Cixi was furious and dismissed Duan, and ordered a strict investigation of the Qing prince. I never expected that the reception of beautiful women would implicate my father, and Zaizhen regretted it.

Favorite businessman-Wang

In order to settle this matter quickly, the father and son of the Qing Dynasty gave Yang to the Tianjin merchant king. Yang is a famous actress in Beijing. Many people spend a lot of money and even fight for her. Wang has fallen in love with her, which is great. She won back the beauty with no effort. Yang became Wang's concubine, and Wang loved her very much. But Yang despises Wang and thinks he is a vulgar man with a strong copper smell. So, in order to be out of sight, out of mind, Yang often left Wang for Beijing, and Wang just listened to her.

The commander-in-chief of love-Duan

Yuan Shikai was ambitious when the court changed in the late Qing Dynasty. While suppressing revolutionaries to win the hearts of the people, he forced the emperor to abdicate and call himself emperor. Later, Yuan Shikai became the president, and Duan, as Yuan Shikai's confidant, was knighted, and the scenery was infinite.

Yang, who often wandered around Beijing, hooked up with Duan in the long run, and Yang became Duan's woman. Duan dotes on her and often takes her to various upper-class banquets. Entering the upper class, she is arrogant and extravagant, and sings for fun when she meets senior officials. Duan often leaves his official duties behind and travels around the world with Yang for pleasure.

Soon after, Yuan Shikai failed to restore the monarchy. In order to protect himself, Duan betrayed Yuan Shikai, abandoned Yang and fled alone. At this time, Yang has no support, no one likes listening to her songs, and no one loves her. Everyone says that she is an unlucky person, and whoever touches her is unlucky. Yang spent the rest of his life in misery.

The old-fashioned ideas in feudal times kept women alive just to rely on men and please them all their lives. Yang has a talent for singing, good looks and many suitors, but Yang has been pursuing wealth all his life. Yang, who loves vanity, always wants to climb the dragon and attach herself to the phoenix and live a high-class life. She uses all her advantages to trick people and please men, but convincing people with color won't last long. When she was down and out, there were no so-called rich children, only lonely and miserable herself.

Girls should learn to be self-reliant, not dependent on anyone, and learn to enrich themselves with real talents and enhance their self-worth. Unfortunately, in that era of corruption, people did not have this kind of ideological consciousness, and many women became victims. Yang is a poor woman, who pursued wealth all her life and ended up with nothing. I wonder if she has ever thought about changing her heart that has been obsessed with luxury and confusion when she was young?
