Is it just me,or is Classical Chinese erotislop having a breakout moment?
元朝文学家姚燧76岁时,和侍奉他沐浴的侍妾发生了关系。 第二天,侍妾说:“您已年迈,倘若我就此身怀有孕,恐怕会被家中怀疑,留个证物给我吧!” 元代文人姚燧这位文坛大佬,不仅笔杆子硬,做人更有温度, 他官至翰林学士承旨,笔下碑文能让王公贵族争相追捧,书法更是自成一派。 如今国博的古代书画展上,还能看到他的《草书诗卷》传世。 可就是这样一位权倾朝野的文人,晚年却因一件风流事,留下了一段跨越百年仍让人唏嘘的佳话。 那年76岁的姚燧退休后,日子过得不算冷清,原配早逝,儿女各自成家。 偌大的姚府里,几个侍妾轮流照料他的起居。 其中一个名叫留香的年轻侍妾,凭着聪慧通透,格外被他看重。 盛夏的一天,暑气逼人,姚燧去府中澡堂沐浴消暑,这个年轻侍妾像往常一样随身伺候, 添热水、擦身子、递衣物,一套动作娴熟又周到。 或许是热气熏人,或许是晚年寂寥,这位古稀老人一时情难自禁,和侍妾度过了一夜。 换做旁人或许只当是一场寻常的宠幸,可这个侍妾却在第二天一早就犯了愁。 留香没有哭哭啼啼,也没有趁机索要名分钱财,反而直接找到姚燧,开门见山说出了自己的担忧: 老爷,您年纪大了,要是我侥幸怀了孕,府里的族人谁会相信,到时候说我私通,我和孩子的命恐怕都保不住,求您给我留个证物吧。 这话一出换做别的权贵,大概率会觉得侍妾贪心、不懂规矩,可姚燧却瞬间懂了。 他在官场沉浮大半辈子,见惯了大家族里的尔虞我诈,更清楚元代妾室的卑微处境。 那时候妾室即便生了孩子,也未必能被家族接纳。 一旦男主人离世,无依无靠的妾室,稍有不慎就会被安上不贞的罪名,轻则被逐,重则丢命。 他更明白这个侍妾要的不是荣华富贵,只是一条活命的退路。 姚燧没有写书信、立字据,因为他知道那些东西太容易被伪造、被销毁,根本靠不住。 他让人取来笔墨纸砚,又让侍妾拿出贴身的围肚,提笔就在那柔软的素绸上,写下了四句诗: 八十年来遇此春,此春过后更无春,纵然不得扶持力,也作坟前拜妇人。 这首诗看似简单,实则藏着满满的承诺和考量。 前两句自嘲古稀之年还能邂逅温情,暗指自己时日无多。 后两句更是直接表态,就算自己不能再庇护她,将来孩子长大,也得认她这个母亲,让她能名正言顺地站在自己坟前祭拜。 更关键的是姚燧的书法是翰林院磨了一辈子的真功夫,苍劲有力,自成一派。 整个元朝都没人能模仿,这笔迹本身,就是最硬的铁证。 果不其然没过多久,姚燧就病逝了,应验了诗里此春过后更无春的谶语。 而他离世没多久,那个侍妾就被查出怀了身孕,消息传到姚家瞬间炸开了锅。 姚家的族人和原配的族人,一个个跳出来指责她不守妇道,一口咬定她肚子里的是野种。 有人叫嚣着要把她赶出家门,还有人提议动家法,彻底整顿家风。 毕竟姚燧年事已高,谁也不愿相信,他临走前还能留下子嗣,更不愿有人来分姚家的家产。 就在这千钧一发之际,侍妾没有慌乱。 她缓缓取出珍藏已久的围肚,当着所有族人的面展开。 姚燧那独一无二的字迹清晰可见,族中长辈一看就认出是他的真迹。 再读完诗里的字句,所有的指责和谩骂,瞬间戛然而止。 没人再敢质疑,因为这首诗就是姚燧留下的遗嘱,是这个卑微女子和未出世孩子的保命符。 后来侍妾顺利生下一个男孩,姚家族人不仅彻底接纳了他们母子,还悉心照料。 那个孩子也继承了姚燧的才情,自幼勤奋好学,最终学有所成,没辜负姚燧当年的期许。 很多人都说姚燧这是风流过后的补偿,可其实这背后藏着的,是一个文人的通透和善良。 他看透了封建宗法的残酷,也读懂了底层女子的无助。 没有用权势压人,也没有敷衍了事,而是用自己最擅长的方式,给了一个弱女子最实在的安全感。 这个侍妾的清醒,更是难得。 她不贪慕虚荣,不抱侥幸心理,在命运的十字路口,主动为自己和孩子争取生机。 而姚燧的难得,在于他身居高位,却没有被权势和偏见裹挟,愿意放下身段,尊重一个卑微的生命。

not to alarm you but your friend may be lauded Italian medievalist and cultural critic umberto eco
one time i showed casablanca to a friend for the first time, and when it was over, he said it was good, but it was distracting how many cliches they used. “i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.” lines like that. anyway this tweet reminds me of this
