SPEAKER_00: Hello, and welcome back. From Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. Today we're traveling back in time to ancient China nearly a millennium ago. Today's dreamer lived as a fugitive through invasion and death, and she's still considered one of the greatest Chinese poets of all time. What we have left of her work is as revered and appreciated today as it was in the era she wrote it. We're talking about Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao was born in the year 1084 into a high-society family in northern coastal China. Her father was a high official in the imperial court, and both of her parents were accomplished, highly educated poets themselves. She had a pretty carefree childhood and started writing poetry in her teen years. At that time, girls' education depended mainly on familial status, and Li Qingzhao was able to study a variety of artistic and academic subjects, including literature, calligraphy, painting, and music. When Li Qingzhao was 17, she married 21-year-old Zhao Myung Chung, a well-known antiques enthusiast. Together, they amassed one of the country's most spectacular artifact collections, including sculptures, manuscripts, seals, and more. They spent evenings together just looking at all the pieces in their collection and cataloging them. Li Qingzhao mainly wrote in a style called zi poetry, which is usually set to music. She stood out for her ability to express emotion and to depict the experience of womanhood, something male poets failed to do. She was such a pro at writing in the metrics of zi poetry that she wrote one of the earliest studies on the form. When Li Qingzhao wasn't sorting antiques or working on her own artistic projects, she and her husband loved to challenge each other with poetry contests. She once wrote, Whenever I got it right, I would raise the teacup, laughing so hard that the tea would spill in my lap. I would have been glad to grow old in such a world. But that peaceful world didn't last. In 1127, armies of the Jin, a rival dynasty, invaded her region. She and her husband, along with half a million other citizens, were forced to flee south from the attack. She lost almost all of her antiques, and her husband died in 1129 during the escape, forcing her to continue her journey alone. Li Qingzhao had to stay on the run for the rest of her life. By 1132, she was 46 years old and had no children. She had lost the love of her life and much of her precious artifact collection. Her profound grief was reflected in her poetry. She constantly used repetitive patterns, monosyllabic words, and she wrote about themes of mourning and sadness. In the poem, Banana Trees, she wrote, Patter of midnight rain on the leaves, haunting the pillow, dripping ceaselessly, dripping ceaselessly dismal sounds, painful memories. An outcast from the north in the throes of sorrow, cannot bear to sit up and listen. Li Qingzhao passed away around 1155. About 78 of her fragmented poems survived. From light to dark, Li Qingzhao's poetry has survived in the hearts and minds of her audience for generations. Join us again tomorrow for the story of another impressive woman. We'll be talking about one of the greatest comedic geniuses of the 20th century. This month of Encyclopedia Wamanica is brought to you by Casper.
