The Soul of Jingkang Ci: Yi Anxing

In the first year of Jingkang, Bianjing was destroyed. The Jin soldiers entered the city, and the two emperors hunted in the north. The city was full of fire and crying. In Qingzhou Return Hall, Li Qingzhao put down his pen. She thought she was guarding thousands of golden stones, but later she found out that she was guarding human hearts. From Qingzhou to Jiankang, from Jiangbei to Jiangnan, she left behind the name "Mrs. Zhao" and walked into the troubled times with a volume of leftover catalogues. Her husband Zhao Mingcheng fled the city, and his old friend Shen Kang took advantage of the situation and robbed her. Liu Yan searched all the books in the world for the Jin people - her name was printed on the reward list, fifty taels of silver, like a bag of rice. Someone asked her: What can a woman who writes lyrics do? She used word cards to compose codes, used rhymes to convey military sentiments, and turned the songs of women and children in the mountains into the sharpest knives. Those who do not hold swords dispatch those who do. Illiterate people, keep the literate people alive. Ah Man guarded the mountain in the north for her, Mrs. Huang sang the name of the deceased for her, and Ma Liu sold the sword, leaving only an empty scabbard. Liu Yan chased her for two years until he reached the center of the river, but the ship sank. Before the ship sank, he asked someone to send back a box. There was no gold or silver in the box, just a pile of words she had written. On the top page, it says: She is right. This is Li Qingzhao's battlefield. There is no iron horse, only weapons on paper. In troubled times, books can be written again if they are burned, but nothing is left after people die. But as long as there are still people willing to open their mouths and sing, words will last longer than life.
