Story 51: Diao Chan, a charming and mysterious person

Diao Chan, a charming and mysterious person

Author: Anonymous

During the Spring Festival, the author was in Xinfu District, and once again passed the Diao Chan Cemetery two or three miles east of the city. Witnessing the decayed scene, I suddenly felt sentimental, and thus wrote about Diao Chan’s various regrets.

Legend has it that Diao Chan was born into the world, and within three years the local peach and apricot flowers bloomed and then withered; Diao Chan worshiped the moon at midnight, and Chang’e felt ashamed in the moon, and hurriedly disappeared into the clouds; Diao Chan had a pretty figure, thin ears and green rings, and the willows were swayed by the wind when she walked. It is more than elegant when it is quiet, and the beauty of the Diao Chan is a sight to behold.

It is precisely because of this beauty that the manipulative Dong Zhuo and the brave and foolhardy Lu Bu turned against each other, giving the turbulent government and opposition a slight sense of peace. However, it is regrettable that Diao Chan appears as a maid and retreats as the family of the deceased.

In “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, Luo Guanzhong only narrates the death of Lu Bu at Baimenlou, and ends with the sentence “his wife and daughter were transported back to Xudu”. From then on, , Diao Chan’s life and death have become an eternal mystery.

Where was Diao Chan born? One talks about Lintao, one talks about Mizhi, and the other talks about Xinzhou.

The theory of Lintao originated from “Three Kingdoms Zhi Ping Hua”. Diao Chan introduced herself to Wang Yun: My concubine’s surname is Ren, and her parents are Lu Bu. We have lost contact with each other since Lintao…; the story of Mizhi’s hometown is based on a northern Shaanxi proverb: Mizhi’s mother-in-law Suide’s Han; Diao Chan is obviously more convincing that he is from Muzhi Village in Xinzhou.

In the Yuan drama “Jinyuntang Secretly Determines the Lianlian Plan”, Diao Chan said to Wang Yun, “Your child is from here, and his surname is from Muzhi Village in Xinzhou. The daughter of Ren Ang, nicknamed Hongchang, was named Diao Chan because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty chose a palace maid, brought your child into the palace, and held a Diao Chan crown, so she was called Diao Chan.”

There is a saying among the people in Xinzhou: There are no good girls in Xinzhou, and there are no good girls in Dingxiang. Male, which means that since Diao Chan came out of Xinzhou and Lu Bu came out of Dingxiang, the local feng shui has been taken over. In addition to these, the elders of Muzhi Village still say that there was a stone tablet “Diao Chan’s Hometown” outside the village. There are tombs and temples in the village, and there is also a street named after Wang Yun.

After the incident at Baimen Tower, what will be the fate of Diao Chan? There are several such legends. One theory is that Cao Cao learned that Guan Yu had hidden Diao Chan in Jingci Temple, so he secretly sent someone to arrest her. Diao Chan committed suicide with her sword in order to defeat Cao’s ambition. Another theory is that Diao Chan became a nun and wrote the anonymous “Jinyuntang Secret”.

“Dinglian Plan”, in Shouzhuan Temple; one theory is that Cao Cao adopted Xun You’s plan to alienate the three Taoyuan brothers, and promised Diao Chan to Guan Yu, secretly agreeing with Liu Bei. In order to eliminate Cao Nian, Guan Yu killed Diao Chan; another theory is that, Guan Yu sent Diao Chan back to Mur’er Village (today’s Muzhi Village). Diao Chan never married, so there is Diao Chan’s tomb and memorial hall in the village, and Guan Gong is also enshrined in the back hall.

Adding to the news not long ago, an old man surnamed Zeng in the northern suburbs of Chengdu once picked up a stele. The inscription said: Diao Chan, Wang Yun’s singer, died for the country because of Dong Zhuo’s rampage… She followed Emperor Yan to Shu and was buried in Huayang County. Huangtupo, Jianheng Village, Waibei…According to this theory, it is very likely that Diao Chan ended up living in Shu.

Last spring, the 40-episode TV series “Lu Bu and Diao Chan” directed by Chen Kaige aired for a long time. Regrettably, Diao Chan in the TV series became the reincarnation of Zhang Jiao. She was eloquent and good at martial arts, and she looked like a worldly master.

Her long-distance love affair with Lu Bu inevitably feels like beauty is a disaster, which really damages Diao Chan’s good image in people’s hearts. Exaggeration often distorts a fact. Fortunately, the show was later ordered to be revised. I hope it can leave a good impression on people when it is broadcast again.

Mr. Cai Dongfan, who is famous for writing “The Romance of Chinese Dynasties” with more than 5 million words, not only affirmed the existence of Diao Chan, but also gave it a very high evaluation: “Situ Wang Yun failed to achieve anything, so he sent Diao Chan who had no fists and no courage. Using sound and color as a spear can lead to the death of the culprit. The pink hero is really awesome.”

He also said: “If knowledge is used as a plan, then the Tao is to maintain chastity. The loyal ministers and righteous men in the world, the fierce generals and brave men cannot eliminate Dong Zhuo, but Diao Chan alone can eliminate him.

How can I be so pedantic and despise that Shu, Diao Chan, Diao Chan, I love you most!”

After careful consideration, another regret arises Diao Chan, Yuan Haowen, Gongsun Chujiu… Xinzhou has so many cultural landscapes, why is it so lonely in the red wall circle with no tourists?

Thousands of years passed quickly, and the beautiful Diao Chan left behind a mystery of her life. She wrote a piece of history and brought a beautiful image to future generations. If she meets a caring person, all her regrets about Diao Chan will no longer exist. have.
