Apricot Blossom Evening on Three Days

In the legend of Qingcheng, the comedy often ends with the mandarin ducks inhabiting the white jade, and the katydid flying to celebrate its success. What falls short of the cliché is that the story between her and him is a comedy from the beginning. The moment the curtain opened, the flowers were blooming and the moon was full. She and he were holding red silk together. This red silk twisted into a concentric knot created a lifelong entanglement. Through thousands of years of wind and frost, the story of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Queen Dugu Xian is the Buddha's tooth relic hidden deep in the majestic Zen Temple. The world regarded him as a henpecked and useless emperor, but he unified the two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties that had been at war for hundreds of years. In the eyes of foreigners, he was one of the only two great emperors in China. "Poetry·Daya·Zhanxi" uses the phrase "a wise man makes a city, a wise woman conquers a city. A wise woman is like an owl or an owl." To refer to women who cause chaos in the country. This sentence was borrowed from the rigorous historian's book "Book of Sui" to set the tone for the life of Empress Dugu Jialuo during the Sui Dynasty. However, it cannot erase the historical facts that "before the emperor ascended to power, he died early, and it was never easy to prepare for kindness" and "the emperor Gaozu and Empress Dugu loved each other very much". Early in the morning day after day, they went to court in chariots and returned to Yan's bed together. The historian, who had a lot of gray beard, licked the tip of his pen and wrote down, "Every time the superior comes to court, the queen and the superior will often drive in, looking at each other happily." People in the Tang Dynasty even called Empress Dugu, who was over sixty years old, the beloved wife of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Traces of their deep love can still be found in the Buddhist classic "The Biography of the Eminent Monk": "The mourning of the queen brings great blessings." In his twilight years, he ignored the warning that "it is unlucky to be buried" and decided to travel thousands of miles to bury his beloved wife when the 61st cold winter in his life came. Two years later, the emperor died.
