Some people think that Li Qingzhao is a super gambler and a "god of gamblers" according to the records in the preface to beating a horse (that is, the poem on beating a horse) and the history of women in ancient and modern times. Zhao Yan thinks that this is making a mountain out of a molehill. It's like treating someone who plays mahjong with a dollar as gambler and rushing to the police station, and dispersing the old lady who does morning exercises as a heretic. It's generally rude and unreasonable.
Li Qingzhao plays mahjong purely for entertainment. She also said that "playing horses alone is for boudoir", which has nothing to do with the so-called "gambling".
The correct understanding should be that Li Qingzhao loves life, loves to play and is involved in it. She is a lovely athlete.
As the saying goes, ten bets and nine losses, but Li Qingzhao has never lost in mahjong. She said in the preface to the horse fight: "If you are interested in learning, all the so-called bloggers will be addicted to it, and you will forget to eat and sleep day and night. But who can not advance with the quantity of life? All right. " Playing mahjong all night, never losing, awesome! If it is really gambling, mastering gambling is probably not enough to keep an unbeaten record. But if it is fun, the situation is different.
People who often play mahjong will know that if the bet is too big, the pressure will be great, and if the bet is too small, it will be boring to play. Li Qingzhao won every set because of the latter. Because my girlfriend has no pressure, she is basically not serious and doesn't care about winning or losing; Li Qingzhao is technically sophisticated and devoted. Regardless of the size of the bet, as long as he is at the gambling table, he must "live as a hero and die as a ghost" and regard the gambling table as a battlefield. How could he not win?
To put it bluntly, this mentality is quite cute, just like the little girl's movies are crazy and cute now. Either she doesn't go out to play, she wants to go out to play with her heart, playing with her heart is her mentality, madness is her character, and cuteness is cuteness!
As mentioned in the last article, "I forget to eat and sleep day and night", Li Qingzhao must be addicted to playing mahjong. At the poker table, she forgot to eat and sleep until she had a good time. She has this personality. There is a saying in "Like a Dream-Always Remember the Sunset in Xiting" that "I don't know the way home when I am drunk, and I will return to the boat in the dead of night". You won't get drunk even if you have dinner with friends, let alone play mahjong.
Li Qingzhao's leisure life is very colorful. She likes everything except writing fine print, collecting, archaeology, drinking and opera. Sometimes she deliberately incites men to drink vinegar with each other, steal happiness by herself, show her personal charm and be naughty.
But her love is also a trade-off. She doesn't like people and things that are too vulgar. She doesn't participate in superficial entertainment games. For example, there are more than 20 kinds of operas popular in the Song Dynasty, and she only likes "flattery". Why? She explained: "Because it rewards and punishments each other" (relatively standardized), it can "give people wisdom and intelligence" (that is, it can be used to play wisdom), and it is very interesting to play.
Enjoy yourself, reflected in a person's personality, frank, persistent, energetic and determined, and nine cows can't pull it back. We often say that people who can't play can't do it well. This sentence is not unreasonable. People who have fun will do things in a down-to-earth, thorough and uncompromising way. Li Qingzhao is such a person.
Like all ancient women, Li Qingzhao did not have a serious job, and the social environment did not allow her to go out to work. Noble family, official's wife, outstanding poetess and so on can't be used as his resume. The Code of Female Morality entrusts her with the responsibility of "being a husband and teaching children". Because she has no children, she only has one husband. She helped Zhao Mingcheng compile The Synopsis of the Golden Chamber and spared no effort to preserve it.
Perhaps this is the only job that she can be called "work" by Confucian orthodoxy. Everything else is a "boudoir play", including her fine print, which is not serious and fun. This concept was very popular in the Song Dynasty. In fact, not only the Song Dynasty, but also the feudal dynasty.
The difference is that Li Qingzhao doesn't think so. She thinks that "I'm interested, I'm fascinated, I'm happy with music, I'm happy with dogs and horses", "I can't help it" and "I'm unyielding despite hardships" (preface to the Stone).
How to understand it? I think she is using this command to show her sword to the so-called "female ethics". Of course, dogs and horses can enjoy sensory pleasure, but we also need to choose. It is worthwhile to spend energy and time studying sexual abuse. When we do it as a science, we can't stop even if we are hindered by objective factors.
Let's take mahjong as an example. Li Qingzhao not only immersed himself in it, but also deeply studied the origin and changes of "Bo Opera", drew a picture album and made a preface, so the preface to beating a horse came out. In this wonderful parallel prose preface, she has countless anecdotes and allusions about the ancient "Bo Opera", full of longing, such as "The Villa is not lost, the thief breaks the Huai River", which tells the story of Xie An, a famous eastern Jin dynasty, calmly gambling with people at the critical moment of the battle of Feishui.
She proudly declared that the purpose of this preface is "to make know life quit horses after one thousand years, starting with Yi 'an lay man". In her mind, playing ball should not only be serious and enjoyable, but also make a name in the history of learning.
The fact is that Li Qingzhao is not a gambler, nor a gambler, but a lovely player who loves life!
