The story is based on the biography of "Jing Pianpian" in the Jianning County Chronicle and the existing poems, lyrics and music of Jing Pianpian.
Jing Pianpian, whose original name was Yao and whose given name was Sanmei (the Jianning County annals listed it as "original name Shuangwen and whose given name was Sanmei". Based on some existing data, it is more likely to be "named Yao and whose given name is Sanmei") was a geisha poet during the middle period of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. She was the only daughter born in a scholarly family in Suzhou. Her parents were loving and she was nurtured by her parents since she was a child. It is written "jasper jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade jade that is staggered and purple ying Ying, the name of national fragrance is left in those days." When she was 12 years old, she came to Jianchang Mansion in Jiangxi Province (now Jiangxi Nancheng) with her parents. When she was young, she was not only talented and talented, but also elegant and charming. Celebrities from far and near, and gentry came to propose marriage in an endless stream. Jing Pianpian has a very high vision in choosing a mate, and the conditions for choosing a son-in-law are extremely demanding, so if she can't go east, she can't go west. Her parents regarded her as the apple of their eyes and left her alone. However, something unexpected happened, and not long after she got her haircut, something bad happened to her family. Someone accused her father of being demoted as a eunuch and was imprisoned. He soon died unjustly in prison. His mother passed away due to grief. Unfortunately, her parents died one after another, leaving Jing Pianpian to be a helpless and lonely woman. She was unable to handle her parents' funeral affairs, so out of helplessness and being lured by others, she fell into a brothel and became a singing prostitute in Jianchang. Later, he was deceived into marriage by Ding and went to Jianning County, Fujian Province. He couldn't bear the insult from Ding's wife and hanged himself.
