Consort Ban Jieyu: The Poet Who Refused an Emperor
In this episode of The Han Dynasty: China's First Golden Age, Lucas and Luna explore the remarkable life of Ban Jieyu, a Han dynasty consort who used poetry to navigate palace intrigue and refused to ride in an emperor's carriage. They discuss her famous 'Autumn Fan' poem, her confrontation with the powerful Zhao Feiyan, and how she managed to survive a fall from favor in the cutthroat Weiyang Palace. Along the way, Lucas explains the role of jieyu consorts, the political influence of the Ban clan (including historian Ban Gu), and why Emperor Cheng's court became a hotbed of scandal. The episode also touches on the broader status of women in Han society and how Ban Jieyu's legacy endured through the Han shu.
