The Legend of the Eternal Beauty Su Xiaoxiao

When you walk past Xiling Bridge in Hangzhou, you will see Mucai Pavilion, which was built in memory of Su Xiaoxiao, the eternal beauty of Qiantang. In the vast and long-standing Chinese culture, Su Xiaoxiao occupies a pivotal position in the hearts of literati of all ages. Even Su Dongpo, a literary giant of the generation, admired the image of La Traviata she created. She lived in an era where things like customs were often talked about. In that era, old feudal rituals were valued above all else, and at the same time, there were metaphysics and landscape humanities based on the Wei and Jin Dynasties that have been passed down through the ages. She lives in a man's world. She doesn't stick to old etiquette, only sticks to beauty, and only sticks to her own freedom. She is knowledgeable and talented in writing. She is calm and comfortable, and does as she pleases. Mr. Yu Qiuyu once commented on Su Xiaoxiao in the article "West Lake Dream": Su Xiaoxiao sticks her beauty to her own life body. She does not make too many material transformations, but only relies on herself to radiate the microwave of life consciousness. Her significance lies in the peculiar confrontation that constitutes the orthodox personality structure. It is hard to imagine that Southern Qi, with its conservative social atmosphere, would produce a Su Xiaoxiao. Perhaps it was because she was too perfect and too dreamy, so history did not leave her mark. Even so, she still lives in the hearts of every literati, guarding the West Lake and promising that she will remain unchanged for the rest of her life. In this book, through the character of Ye Xu, the author gives the character the soul of Su Xiaoxiao, and uses the construction and spiritual portrayal of different characters to reflect the views on the social period of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and reproduce a historical silhouette that gave birth to the character of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The story begins here, and I hope you will walk with me through this journey to Southern Qi.
