During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a scholar named Li in Yangzhou. He and his wife gave birth to twin daughters. The two girls were born like flowers and jade, and the two sisters stood together with the same body and appearance. Even their parents couldn't tell who was their sister and who was their sister.

Later, in order to make it easier to distinguish the two, the parents burned a scar on the wrist of one of the girls.

Both girls were born into a scholarly family and were influenced by them since they were young, so they both liked to recite poems and write lyrics. When they grew up, they became famous talented women and were praised by Yangzhou literati as "Bindi Lotus".

Pretty girls don't worry about getting married, but the two sisters got married in a hurry, and they didn't even get to see their husbands before they got married. It turned out that when the two girls were fifteen years old, there was a folk rumor that Emperor Kangxi was going to draft a woman into the palace. Li Xiucai was afraid that after his daughter was selected for the palace, he would not be able to see her for the rest of his life, so he hastily married the two daughters to two local teenagers, and there were only a few days between making a decision and getting married.

In this way, the two sisters of the Li family got married on the same day, and later became pregnant at the same time. A few years later, they both died of illness, and more coincidentally, both died on the same day. This incident became a local legend.

"In the daytime, the screen window is shrouded in blue mist, and Qiong Hua is a peerless tree. She is gentle and sympathetic, and where she passes, the flower is secretly aware of the eyebrows. The shoulder of the painting pavilion follows the twilight of the morning, and when she is in leisure, she chants the immortal sentence. I can't keep the smoke from the moon, but the weather is beautiful, Feiqiong will go away by herself."

In the words, the genius compared this pair of beautiful sister flowers to the fairies Xu Feiqiong and Dong Shuangcheng in the sky. First, he praised the two of them, who were beautiful and lovely, and then described that although they were incomparably beautiful, they died in misery. It was really regrettable and melancholy.

"Beauty and famous generals since ancient times are not allowed to see white heads in the world." Although the two sisters of the Li family died in the best years, they were recorded in historical records because of this poem, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort for them.
