In ancient my country, the system of polygamy and multiple concubines was implemented. Today, marriage has been changed to monogamy. This concept of marriage has contributed to the happiness of many families. In ancient times, ordinary families were unable to take concubines, and only a few wealthy families were able to take concubines.
In ancient times, although it was possible to marry many wives, there were exceptions to everything. Not only wealthy families only married one wife, but even many emperors were one wife. The most familiar is Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. He has only one queen in his life and no other concubines. Such an emperor was very rare in ancient times.
Nowadays, people know Wang Xizhi's name, and this ancient calligrapher is still the object of people's study. Later people know that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is very powerful. What is less known is that Wang Xizhi's marriage is very happy, which can be said to be the highest standard in ancient marriages.
Wang Xizhi’s wife is Xi Huang (chī xuán). Like Zhang Liang, her word is also called ovary.
Talking about the engagement of Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan is also an interesting story. According to legend, at that time, Xi Jian sent people to the Wang family to choose his son-in-law. All the boys of the Wang family's generation were dressed upright, with serious and reserved faces. Only Wang Xizhi lay on the east bed, chewing on the Hu. cake. This kind of casual behavior suddenly attracted the people who came to choose Xi Jian's son-in-law. When he went back and said to Xi Jian, Xi Jian immediately praised this person as the best choice, and this decided his son-in-law. Yes, this allusion is the famous idiom "Dongchuang Kuaisheng"!
Wang Xi's ambition is not to be an official, so he has not been in Kyoto for a long time, and most of the time is released. Therefore, he has escaped the emperor's treatment of the family a few times. Under the suppression of the big family, he and Xi Xuan took their children to Wuxi, Jinting and other places to focus on health preservation and calligraphy. Anshun was peaceful that day, and it was indescribably complete. The relationship between Xi Xuan and Wang Xizhi has been like a day for ten years, and all of his seven sons and one daughter were born to Xi Xuan. Based on the information I found, there is no record that Wang Xizhi has taken in other concubines. In his free time, Wang Xizhi likes to go out for a walk with his beloved wife Xi Xuan. The two wander in the mountains, making the flowers and trees all over the mountain lose their color.
Don't be too busy with envy, there is more.
The seven sons and one daughter of Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan are also very talented children. Of course, their parents are good-looking, and the appearance of the children is not mentioned. One of the most famous is probably the younger son Wang Xianzhi. Wang Xianzhi is handsome, handsome, and talented. His calligraphy has completely inherited the style of Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan. Not only is he famous in the world, he also won the love of the royal princess Xin'an. He married the Wang family, and Wang Xian became a son. The prince of the dynasty, the last official to Zhong Shuling, and was recognized as one of the "four sages in the book".
may be because Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan both focus on health preservation. Both of them have a very long life span, especially Xi Xuan, who actually lived nearly ninety years old.
two outstanding calligraphers, with legendary love stories, run through the long river of history. Now it seems that a couple like Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan are a match made in heaven.
