Li Qingzhao's life experience can be divided into two periods: before and after the Song Dynasty moved south.

Early stage:

Due to family reasons, especially influenced by his father Li, Li Qingzhao was an excellent poet in his youth.

Li Qingzhao's growth is also inseparable from her natural environment. Li Qingzhao spent most of her childhood in Licheng, a picturesque and humanistic hometown. When she was about five or six years old, because her father Li entered Beijing as an official, she also moved to the capital (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province) with her parents. She grew up in Tokyo. At that time, the ruling class in the Northern Song Dynasty enjoyed themselves, and Tokyo was still very prosperous on the surface. Li Qingzhao, as an aristocratic family of the scholar-bureaucrat class, could not go out of the house like a man because of the imprisonment of feudal ethics. Contact the whole society.

But after all, she was born in the city, not as withdrawn as the women of rural landlords. She can not only go boating and play in the depths of the lotus, but also follow her family to the streets of Tokyo to see fancy lanterns and bustling street scenes, which have cultivated her temperament. Enriched her spiritual life. Li Qingzhao's love for nature and her ability to describe nature show that she was educated in her hometown of Shandong. And her "recklessness" in love description shows the influence of urban social atmosphere and literary atmosphere on her.

At the age of eighteen, Li Qingzhao married Zhao Mingcheng. After the marriage, Qingzhao and her husband hit it off as if they were inseparable. "Couples are good at winning friends." After marriage, Li Qingzhao and her former student Zhao Mingcheng studied epigraphy and calligraphy together and lived a happy and beautiful life. Zhao Fu was a famous politician at that time.

After marriage, she devoted herself to the further study of literature and art and the collection and research of epigraphy. She and Zhao Mingcheng encouraged each other to create ci, and their techniques became more and more mature. One year on the Double Ninth Festival, Li Qingzhao wrote the famous "Drunken Flowers" and gave it to her husband who was an official outside: "The fog is thick and the clouds are always sad, and the brain sells golden beasts. Double Ninth Festival, lying in bed, in the middle of the night, the cold on my body has just been soaked. Dongli drinks until dusk, and faint chrysanthemum fragrance overflows his sleeves. Mo Tao doesn't forget me, the curtain rolls west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers.

"Autumn boudoir loneliness, boudoir melancholy, vividly on paper. According to the record of the Cape Ring Record, Zhao Mingcheng was amazed and unwilling to give in after receiving it, so he closed the door and forgot to eat and sleep, and wrote fifty poems for three days and three nights. He incorporated this poem by Li Qingzhao into it and asked his friend Lu Defu to comment on it. Lu Defu played it over and over again and said, "Only three sentences are excellent. Zhao asked what those three sentences were, and Lu said, "It's not charming. The curtain rolls in the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." . "

However, the good times did not last long, and the struggle between the old and new parties in North Korea intensified. A pair of mandarin ducks are separated alive, and Zhao Li faces each other across the river, suffering from lovesickness.

Later period:

In A.D. 1 127, Northern Nuzhen (Jin) conquered Bianjing, and Qin Zong was captured and fled to the south. Li Qingzhao and his wife also fled to Jiangnan with the refugees. Wandering in a different place, the loss of stone carvings and calligraphy collected for many years has brought her a deep blow and great pain. Later, the Jin people moved south, and the Southern Song Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent, destroying the Great Wall.

In the same year, Zhao Mingcheng was appointed as the health magistrate. In a rebellion in the city, Zhao Mingcheng fled the city, which made Li Qingzhao disheartened. In the second year, on my way to Jiangxi, I wrote the famous "Summer Jueju" when I went to Wujiang, praising Xiang Yu's satire. Zhao Mingcheng was ashamed and depressed, and later died on the way to be the governor of Huzhou. When Li Qingzhao was lonely, Zhang Ruzhou (one of Zhang Ruzhou) took the opportunity to defraud Li Qingzhao of her money and showed her kindness in every way.

Li Qingzhao was very helpless at that time and married Zhang Ruzhou against the secular trend. After marriage, both of them found themselves cheated. Zhang Ruzhou found that Li Qingzhao was not as rich as she thought, and Li Qingzhao also found Zhang Ruzhou's insincerity, and even later punched her. Later, Li Qingzhao discovered that Zhang Ruzhou's official position came from accepting bribes, so she sued Zhang Ruzhou. In the social environment at that time, the wife reported her husband, and even if the husband was found guilty, the wife would be imprisoned. After Li Qingzhao went to prison, her family bribed the jailer. She stayed in prison for nine days and was released. This marriage, which lasted less than 100 days, ended.

Li Qingzhao, who witnessed the destruction of the country, was "bitter, poor and indomitable". In her later years of "searching and being cold and clear", she tried her best to compile "The Story of the Stone" and completed her husband's unfinished business. Nomads from the rampage aroused her strong patriotic feelings, and she actively advocated the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains. However, the decadent and incompetent Southern Song Dynasty made Li Qingzhao's hopes go up in smoke. Li Qingzhao also wrote a bold and unrestrained "Summer quatrains" in the early days of Nandu: "Life is a hero, and death is a ghost hero. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. " He used Xiang Yu's unyielding death to satirize Hui Zong's father and son's loss of power and humiliation, and expressed his indignation at the Song Dynasty.

After leaving her hometown for many years, her broken heart was vilified and rendered worse by the literati because of remarriage. She was helpless, helpless, poor, wandering around, and finally died alone in Jiangnan.

Li Qingzhao (1March 084 13— about 1 155), Yi nationality, Han nationality, was born in Jinan, Jizhou (now Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province). A poetess in Song Dynasty, a representative of graceful and restrained ci school, was known as "the first talented woman in the ages".

Li Qingzhao was born in a scholarly family and had a good life in his early years. Her father Li has a rich collection of books, and she has laid a literary foundation in a good family environment since she was a child. After marriage, she and her husband Zhao Mingcheng devoted themselves to the collection and arrangement of calligraphy and painting stones. Nomads from the central plains, south, lonely situation.

In the lyrics, he wrote more about his early leisure life, his later life experience and sentimental mood. In form, it makes good use of line drawing, forms its own school and has beautiful language. On the theory of ci, it emphasizes harmony and elegance, puts forward the theory that ci is different from one family, and opposes the method of writing ci into poetry. There are not many who can write poems. Some chapters have a sense of the times, praise history and use generous words, which is different from their style of words.

There are Yi 'an Jushi Collection and Yi 'an Ci, which have been lost. Later generations have a collection of Yu Shu's ci. There is a collation of Li Qingzhao's collected works today.
