I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and to better understand parts of it, I translated sections that I found challenging. I also made notes (written in English) along the way to help deepen my understanding.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m thrilled to share these notes with you! I aim to help us all gain a deeper appreciation for the elegance and historical significance of traditional Chinese attire, which is so rich in history and beauty.<\/p>\n<p>All the information in these notes comes from the book \u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300b.<\/p>\n<p>This is for non-commercial purposes only.

In the fourth year of the Tianbao era (745), near the end of her life, she instructed her devoted children to build a pagoda in her honor.<\/p>\n<p>From this perspective, it seems that Lady Song lived in a golden age, enjoying prosperity, having devoted children, and leading a seemingly stable and happy life. However, if we strip away the embellishments of the tomb inscription, which may be exaggerated, we find that reality is not entirely so.<\/p>\n<p>Lady Song came from generations of commoners in Jingzhao and had no official status or background in a noble family. However, she was known for her gentle, intelligent, and wise nature. At the age of fifteen, she happened to catch the attention of a powerful eunuch named Lord Lei (\u96f7\u5e9c\u541b L\u00e9i F\u01d4j\u016bn).<\/p>\n<p>Lord Lei wanted to marry her. To make the marriage appear more fitting, Song was adopted by an aristocratic family before the wedding. Although her husband was a eunuch, he held great power and served as the head of the imperial palace. With this status, his wife was also entitled to receive a noblewoman&#8217;s title, no different from the wives of officials and royalty of earlier times.<\/p>\n<p>After their marriage, Song was granted the title &#8220;Noble Lady of Le Shou \u4e50\u5bff\u90e1\u541b&#8221; and, alongside her husband, managed both their household and state affairs, achieving prosperity and success. She also had adopted sons and daughters who loyally served her. On the surface, her life appeared to be full of glory and wealth.<\/p>\n<p>Marriages between eunuchs and women were not uncommon at that time. For example, during the reign of Emperor Tang Xuanzong, the influential eunuch Gao Lishi (\u9ad8\u529b\u58eb ; G\u0101o L\u00ecsh\u00ec) also married a woman named Lady L\u00fc (\u5415\u6c0f ; L\u01da sh\u00ec). Because of this marriage, Lady L\u00fc&#8217;s father, L\u00fc Xianwu (\u5415\u7384\u6664 ; L\u01da Xu\u00e1nw\u00f9), who was initially just a minor official, rose in rank to become a deputy minister. Moreover, the entire L\u00fc family benefited, with her sons and relatives securing positions in the government. When Lady L\u00fc&#8217;s mother passed away, Gao Lishi&#8217;s influence ensured that her funeral was grand, with a continuous stream of carriages and mourners from the house to the tomb.<\/p>\n<p>However, for young women of that era, spending their lives with a eunuch was far from an ideal fate. Some chose to shave their heads and become Buddhist nuns, while others fiercely resisted\u2014even to the point of ending their own lives as an act of defiance.<\/p>\n<p>With no other choice, Song eventually accepted her fate and placed all her hopes in Buddhism, seeking inner peace. After her husband, Lord Lei passed away, she delved deeper into Buddhist teachings, hoping to attain freedom in her next life.<\/p>\n<p>Near the end of her life, she left a final request, stating that she had &#8220;lived a pure and virtuous life&#8221; and wished to &#8220;build a separate pagoda and tomb&#8221; so that she would not be buried with her eunuch husband.<\/p>\n<p>When Lady Song was buried, her hair was adorned with a gold sparrow-shaped hairpin and a gemstone-encrusted headdress, while her neck bore a gold necklace with crystal beads\u2014all luxurious accessories fashionable during the peak of the Tang dynasty in the Tianbao era.
