董小宛

董小宛是一个关于明朝人物的小作品。

董小宛是一个與文化相關的小作品。

聰明靈秀,明末有名的“金陵八艷”之一。崇禎十一年,董小宛十六歲,冒辟疆認識了董小宛。又兩年,冒辟疆原屬意陳圓圓,稱其“令人欲仙欲死”,反疏遠了小宛。隔年,陳被李自成虜走,冒辟疆正式納十九歲的董小宛為妾,從此小宛“卻管弦,洗盡鉛華,精學女紅”。江南名妓知書,多傾慕東林,如李香君與侯方域、柳如是與錢謙益、卞玉京與吳偉業、顧眉生與龔鼎孳……。順治二年(1645年),清豫親王多鐸率軍渡江,攻破南京。冒辟疆在逃難中數度患病,董小宛辛苦侍疾,無微不至。順治八年(1651年),董小宛28歲,病死冒府。清初有四大疑案,許多人都將順治眷戀的董鄂妃說成是董小宛,據說順治出家是為了董小宛,這是沒有根據的。《影梅庵憶語》對、冒二人從相識、完婚,到小宛病死,都有詳盡的記載。

Oil climbed towards $70 on world markets

Major powers stand behind U.N. Security Council resolutions demanding Iran suspend all nuclear fuel work in exchange for negotiations on trade incentives, with the threat of escalating sanctions if Tehran keeps refusing.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Iran must decide if it wants to cooperate with the international community or face new sanctions. "I for my part think one should not hesitate to toughen the sanctions," Sarkozy told the German monthly Cicero.

The United States underlined impatience with Tehran by dispatching nine U.S. warships carrying 17,000 personnel into the Gulf, a narrow channel in international waters off Iran's coast and a major artery for global oil shipments.

Oil climbed towards $70 on world markets, partly on news of the force's arrival.

The U.S. navy said the ships, including two aircraft carriers, would conduct exercises as part of a long-planned effort to reassure regional Arab allies of U.S. commitment to Gulf security. Naval officials described it as the largest daytime assembly of ships since the 2003 Iraq war.
