Why did the ancients call sexual intercourse "Yunyu"
Whether ancient novels are romance novels, romance novels, or classics such as "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Water Margin", when it comes to men and women having sex, they all without exception write, "Go to Wushan Yunyu together", or " Cao Xueqin wrote about the scene when Jia Baoyu and the maid had sex with each other in the sixth chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions", "Baoyu's first trial of love"; even some modern media also follow the example of the ancients, and there is often a certain scene There was a report that an official brought a beautiful woman to a hotel to "go to Wushan Yunyu together". Why did the ancients call sexual intercourse "cloud and rain" and it is still talked about by people today?
Some people say that flying in the clouds and mists is like a god! Therefore, when sexual intercourse climaxes, there is a feeling of ecstasy, which makes people feel happy and like gods. Therefore, the ancients also called sexual intercourse "cloud and rain"! In fact, this is not the case. "Clouds and rain" originally refers to the ancient myths and legends about the Wushan goddess who stirred up clouds and sowed rain. According to the "Preface to Gaotang Fu" written by Chu and Song Yu during the Warring States Period: "I live in the sun of Wushan Mountain, blocked by the high hills. The sky is cloudy in the morning, the rain is falling in the evening, and I am under the balcony in the morning and evening." It can be seen that Wushan does have its own mountains.
Wushan is the east gate of modern Chongqing, a must-pass for visiting the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and an important town in the Three Gorges reservoir area of the Yangtze River. Wushan has a long history, numerous historical sites and rich resources. As early as 2.04 million years ago, the earliest Homo erectus in Asia, the Wushan Man, lived and multiplied here. Wushan's natural scenery is unique. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River are famous at home and abroad. Wushan owns all of Wu Gorge and most of Qutang Gorge. Wu Gorge is famous for its deep beauty and wonders in the world. The gorge is deep and the valley is long and winding. The famous "Twelve Peaks of Wushan" line the north and south of the river, among which the Goddess Peak is the most beautiful. The number of clouds and rain in the gorge, the frequency of changes, the beauty of cloud patterns, and the strangeness of the rain scene are breathtaking.
The famous poet Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty wrote his eternal swan song, "It was once difficult to move the sea, but it was nothing but clouds except Wushan." This is a summary of the everlasting charm and charm of Wushan in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Wushan’s “Three Terraces and Eight Scenic Spots” are shrouded in mystery. The "Three Platforms" are the Book Teaching Platform, the Chu Balcony and the Dragon-Slaying Platform. The "eight sceneries" are morning clouds and dusk rain, spring dawn in Nanling, sunset, evening crossing of Ninghe River, fishing in Qingxi River, autumn moon in clear pond, Xiufeng Zen Temple, and Ligustrum Viewing Stone. Since among the "eight sceneries" of Wushan, "morning clouds and dusk rain" occupy an important position, people regard "Wushan clouds and rain" as a landmark landscape, and watching "Wushan clouds and rain" has become a beautiful enjoyment. If you go "Wushan" and missing "Yunyu" will have a lifelong regret of visiting Baoshan but returning empty-handed.
As for the saying that "Wushan Yunyu" became a matter of lingering love between men and women, it was first seen in ancient Chu poems such as "Gaotang Fu" and "Goddess Fu" during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. These ancient texts tell the story of King Xiang of Chu and Song Yu visiting Yunmeng Terrace together. When they visited Yunmeng Terrace, Song Yu said: "The late king, King Huai of Chu, once visited this place and fell asleep when he was tired. The late king dreamed of a beautiful woman, who she said was the daughter of Wushan. She was willing to offer her pillow and mat to the king of Chu. The king of Chu was very happy when he heard the news, and immediately favored the Wushan beauty. When she said goodbye, she told King Chu Huai that if she wanted to be my concubine again, she would come to Wushan. Look for me, it’s ‘Chaoyun’ in the morning and ‘Xingyu’ in the evening.”
After the publication of ancient texts such as "Gaotang Fu" and "Goddess Fu", they caused great repercussions in later generations. The word "Yun Yu" is increasingly seen in various poems and poems. Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Feelings", which said: "Since the completion of the poem in the Gaotang Dynasty, the clouds and rain in the Chu sky have become doubtful." The famous poet Du Fu also wrote a poem, "Shake down and know Song Yu's sadness deeply." , Elegance and elegance are my teacher. I shed tears for a long time. The old house in the country is empty and deserted, and the palace of Chu is all gone. "As time goes by," "Yunyu" is gradually accepted by people. People think that using the word "cloud and rain" to describe the love between men and women is both vivid and elegant, so "cloud and rain" has become a commonly used word in ancient novels to describe sexual intercourse between men and women.
