Mo Mu, the most famous ugly woman in ancient times, is like a witch. She is extremely ugly. Mo Mu is a puppet, but its reputation can't hide its ugliness. Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapters of Nostalgia" said: "Jealous fragrance is gorgeous and complacent." But she was a virtuous person and the Yellow Emperor married her. Sure enough, Mo Mu lived up to the love of the Yellow Emperor, and served people with virtue.
According to legend, the first mirror used by human beings was discovered and made by Mo Mu. On one occasion, Tong Yu's name was Mo Mu, and she went up the mountain to dig slates with her. Without further ado, Mo Mu went up the hill with Tongyu's name. Mo Mu has great power. She digs slate faster than other women. I dug more than 20 pieces in less than half a day. At this time, the sun is already noon, and the sun shines on the earth. Mo Mu suddenly found a shiny stone among the stones, which was very dazzling in the sun. Mo Mu bent down, gently dig out the ground with his hand, and took it in his hand, startled. What kind of monster is this? My ugly face shines on this stone. Even she feels strange! She quietly hid the stone in her body and went back to the palace of the Yellow Emperor without telling anyone. When no one was around, she took out the stone and found that the plane of the stone was uneven. The face reflected on it is strange.
Mo Mu came to the workshop for making stone knives and axes, found a millstone, pressed it on it and polished it repeatedly. Soon, the surface of the stone was completely smooth. In this way, the first mirror used by human beings was born. Although Mo Mu was ugly, the Yellow Emperor trusted her and let her manage the harem. When Huangdi traveled around the world, his first wife Lei Zu died of illness. The Yellow Emperor ordered Mo Mu to direct sacrifices and manage coffins. Mo Mu not only has extraordinary organizational ability, but also was awarded the title of "Fang Shixiang" by the Yellow Emperor, who used her appearance to exorcise evil spirits. The Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of the Chinese nation. According to legend, with the help of Mo Mu, the Yellow Emperor defeated Yan Di and killed Chiyou.
Guang Meng
People between husband and wife often quote Qi Mei to praise the equality, harmony and respect between husband and wife. The idiom story tells the story of Meng Guang, the wife of the sage Hongliang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. From "Liang Hongchuan in the Later Han Dynasty": "People rent money, and every time they pay it back, their wives have food to eat. They dare not look up before the flood, for example. " This also leads to another idiom: "Respect each other as guests".
According to legend, Meng Guang followed him to the State of Wu as a servant. When Hongliang came home, Meng Guang took Qi Mei's box to show his respect for her husband. However, this virtuous woman's appearance is "extremely rough" and "fat, ugly and black", and she can lift a stone mortar. When Meng Guang was not married, she refused to marry someone else, saying that she would marry Hongliang. Hongliang was a famous man at that time. He is an elegant and handsome man. Many local dignitaries and aristocratic families want to marry his daughter. So people listened to Meng Guang and laughed at her for being unrealistic. Toad wanted to eat swan meat and teased her that her eyes were too high. But Hongliang took a fancy to Meng Guang's character and married Meng Guang. The day after the couple got married, Meng Guang took off her bridal gown, put on coarse clothes and did housework.
Five songs
Although Hongliang is very learned, he is unwilling to be an official. He once wrote a song "Five Songs" and was hunted down by the authorities. After the couple fled to Wudi, Hongliang worked as an employee under a wealthy businessman. During the day, Hongliang cooks. In the evening, when he dragged his tired body home, Meng Guang had already prepared delicious meals for him. She respected her husband very much and didn't dare to look him in the eye, so she bent down and held the tray with food under her eyebrows for her husband to eat. Once I showed it to my master, I exclaimed, "A person who can make his wife so self-respecting must be very human!" So he changed a big house for the Hongliang couple to live in. Since then, Liang devoted himself to research and wrote more than ten books behind closed doors. The couple live a poor and harmonious life. Later scholars often quote "it's too late for Hongliang to escape to the sea" to express their lifelong complaints. Keep Peter.
People often use "seemingly salt-free" to describe ugly women. This "salt-free" refers to ugly women, and Qi was also called salt-free county during the Warring States period. According to the book, she is unmarried in her forties, with incomparable ugliness, concave head and deep eyes, big belly, high nose and high throat, less oily hair and painted skin. Protruded forehead, sunken eye socket, upturned nostrils, big head, less hair, bigger throat and Adam's apple than men, dark red skin, old and unmarried. Qi Xuanwang, who was in power at that time, was corrupt in politics, dark in state affairs, violent in character, and liked to be beaten, which made people panic all over the country. Although Zhong Lichun is ugly, she has read many poems and books, and she is ambitious. In order to save the country, she risked being beheaded, came to Linzi, the capital, and met Qi Xuanwang. I saw the ugly girl raise her eyes, open her mouth, wave her hand, and then pointed to her knees and shouted, "Danger! Danger? "
Qi Xuanwang was confused by her, so she asked the ugly woman to explain. The ugly girl came forward to salute and said, "I've come to the king to observe the changes in the situation;" To speak is to punish Wang Er for not listening to advice; Waving is to drive away flatterers for the king; This is a special entertainment to kick down the Snow Palace. To err is human, but I have also heard that' a monarch has ministers, and the country does not die; Father has son, but the family does not die.' Now the king indulges in debauchery and refuses to give advice. This is what I mean by accepting the king's advice. The enemy wants Enemy at the Gates, and you are surrounded by a group of boasters and flatterers. This is the fault of the country, so I waved them out; The king spent a lot of money, material resources and manpower to build such a luxurious palace. The treasury is empty and the people are miserable. How will he face Chi Bing in the future? I just patted my thigh and asked the king to dismantle the snow palace. To tell the truth, the king did make these four big mistakes. When the country was in danger, I risked my head to give advice to the king. If I can take my advice, my daughter will die without regret! "
This shocking analysis of ugly women made Qi Xuanwang wake up from his dream and was deeply moved. She said, "If you don't remind me in time, how will I know my fault?" Think of Zhong Lichun as your own mirror. To show remorse, he made Zhong Lichun queen.
Yuan also made a drama of her deeds and praised her spirit of taking the world as her responsibility.
Ruan Shi
Xu Yun of Cao married Ruan Dewei's daughter. On the candlelight night, she found Ruan's daughter ugly and ugly. She left her new house in a hurry and refused to enter again. Later, his friend Huan Fan came to see him and said, "There must be a reason why Ruan married an ugly girl for you. You must check her. " After listening to Fan's words, Xu really stepped into a new home. But as soon as he saw his wife, he began to slip away, and the bride grabbed him. Xu Yun struggled to say to the bride, "Women have four virtues. How many have you seen? " The bride said, "What I lack is beauty. And scholars do a hundred things. How many have you seen? " Xu Yun said, "I have everything." The bride said, "Bai Xingde is the leader. You are lewd and immoral. How can you say that you have everything? " Xu Yun was speechless. From then on, the husband and wife respected and loved each other and had a harmonious relationship.
Xu Yun was appointed as the official department minister, and the county magistrate and other local officials he appointed were all his countrymen, so Wei Mingdi sent someone to arrest him.
When the samurai took Xu Yun away, Xu Yun's wife chased him barefoot and said to Xu Yun, "A wise man can be reasonable, but he can't plead." After Xu Yun was arrested, his family cried. Xu Yun's wife said, Never mind, he will come back soon. Then I cooked millet porridge and waited for Xu Yun to come back. When Ming Di asked Heo Yun
Maybe this is where the disaster began, Xu Yunfu said. How can you say that you have no worries? Before, Xu and Li Feng had a good relationship. Later, Sima Shi suspected that Xu Yun was plotting to replace himself with Xia Houxuan, so he exiled Xu Yun to Le Lang and killed him on the way. When his disciples got the news, he quickly told Xu Yun's wife. She was knitting and said with a straight face, I knew this day would come. The students want to hide Xu Yun's two sons. Xu Yun's wife said it was none of their business. So he lived next to the grave with his sons. Sima Pai Zhong Hui asked and told Zhong Hui that if Xu Yunfeng's sons were as talented as their father, they should be arrested. Xu Yun's son asked his mother what to do. Xu Yun's wife said, "Although you are good, you also have shortcomings." You can talk to him modestly; Don't be too sad. Whether Zhong can talk or not, you shouldn't talk either. Don't ask too many questions
