In the third year of Yongning in Liang Dynasty, Shen Zhao, the daughter of a guilty minister, bid farewell to an unknown old palace maid outside the cold palace. She was full of poems and books, but she died of old age in the palace without even a tombstone. Shen Zhao stood in front of her grave all night, and the next day he wrote "Please stop picking and selecting women's studies".
In ten years, she experienced three fatal impeachments, one prison sentence, and a life-and-death crisis in which her life experience was exposed. She was sued in court for giving a written note to the palace maid, "Reading it will lead to a way out"; she used the emperor's badge to find books for students, but was falsely accused of being banned; the daughter of the guilty minister she hid became the opponent's last card.
And she always stood behind the bookcase in Chongwen Pavilion. She never married and was entitled to the Wenyuan Pavilion after her death. When she was dying, she was holding a pen in her hand, and next to the tip of the pen was a crooked Chinese character "" - that was the first character she had ever been taught, and it was also the way she came.
This is not a story of a woman conquering the harem, but a story of a woman using knowledge and systems to pave the way for millions of women in future generations.
Purpose: A woman who came from a family of criminals saw the women at the bottom of the class who were full of talents but died silently in the palace, and decided to use education and the system to open up a way for them to live. She endured persecution, prison, and lifelong celibacy. She held a pen in her hand until she died. The word "human" she left behind was not only the first word she taught, but also what she wanted in her life - to let women stand up and be human. This is not a palace fight, but the story of a man who used knowledge as fire to light up dignity and a way out for millions of women in the future.
