Therefore, under the country, to concubine for his wife, to the evil emperor, and Wang Fu can rule. Zhou man's work is a poem." Zhu Xi " Poem preface differentiation Cloud: "This matter has evidence," Preface "can be covered." And think that this is Shen after self-creation. This is quite credible.

" 邶 Wind · Valley wind "" Defend the wind and the mob "" I can do my own thing "And this poem from different angles in many aspects of the performance of such historical facts. [3-6]

Appreciation of works

Holistic appreciation

"Xiao Ya Bai Hua" poem eight chapters, each chapter four sentences. There is a remarkable feature in the writing of this poem, that is, all the chapters of the poem are made up first and then Fu, and the eight chapters are not of the same importance, which is only found in the Book of Songs in contrast with the repetition of Fu.
In the first chapter, the combination of suga grass and white grass, reflecting the common sense of love between couples. Among them, the white flower of suga grass and the white of thatch have the meaning of love symbolizing purity and harmony. Callan No you die 麕 It can be seen that "white grass" was a commonly used image with symbolic meaning at that time. The original common sense is self-evident, but here it is "the son is far away, so that I am alone." A positive and a negative, laying the whole poem sad sad tragic tone.
The second chapter moistens the grass and thatch with the dew of the white cloud, which is against the common sense of the husband and cannot be with his wife Share weal and woe . Although there is a direct correspondence and mapping relationship between the moisture of the white cloud nectar on the grass and the injustice of the god of fate to the abandoned heroine, in fact, it seems that the blame is especially people, and the spearhead is actually the unfaithful husband who does not follow the principles of heaven.
Chapter three: The north flowing 滮 pond irrigates the rice field, which in turn corresponds to the heartless husband's unkindness to his wife. Although this chapter is the same as the first two chapters in the method of revival, it is a metaphor for people, and the common sense of heaven is opposed to the curmudgeonly human feelings. Zheng letter Explained: "Pool water, infiltrating the rice field to make it reproductive, Yu Wang no grace after Shen, 滮 pool is not as good as also." But then the heroine who is crying and singing a long song turns from "son" to "great man". On the "Shuo people", predecessors such as Kong Yingda Wang Su and Sun Yu were quoted as saying that the Shuo people referred to Shen after Zhu Xi's" Biography of Collected Poems I thought that the great people meant the king of You. In the original poem, the following two chapters referring to the great Man are both used as a metaphor that things cannot be done by him, implying that man is in an improper position. Zheng Xuan explained "Shuo people" as "demon big people, called Baosi", and poetic combination. As the conversation turns, the exclamation in the next chapter seems natural and appropriate.
The fourth chapter follows the meaning of the first three chapters, and uses the mulberry salary to make the heroine's virtue not appreciated by her husband, but abandoned by the fate. Contrary to their own fate, "Vibishuo", thinking of the "demon man" but seduced her husband to replace their position, all this is really a painful thing.
The fifth chapter is heard outside the bell sound, and the matter of being abandoned after Xing Shen must be known by the people. The saying "there is no such thing as an impervious wall." He has been abandoned, but the heart never forgets, so there is a "reading son" abandoned woman; Once they have rejected it, they must hate it first, so they have a ruthless husband who "looks at me". In contrast, the kindness and obedience of the abandoned woman and the lightness and ruthlessness of the husband appear more distinct.
The sixth chapter is similar to the poetry of the fourth chapter, with crane 鹙 after the concubine transfer. At the same time, there exists a metaphorical relationship between the white and supple of the crane and the greedy and sinister of 鹙 and the latter. The seduction of the "demon big man" is really an important reason for the heroine to be abandoned, no wonder she repeatedly "Wei-Wei-shuo people, really work my heart", think of the demonizing man can not help but feel sad.
Chapter 7: The two lovebirds, who always live together, love each other, and find their place, which is against the moral behavior of the heartless and unvirtuous husband who can not live with him for a long time. This chapter must be read in conjunction with chapters 4, 5, and 6 to gain a deeper understanding of the resentment of the abandoned woman. What she was really saying was: although the seductive woman is very tempting, if the husband considers nature rather than humanity, Two three is virtue "There would be no result today.
The eighth chapter is the sad fate after Xingshen was deposed by the low status of the flat stone. The abandoned woman cannot but consider her own fate, "My son is far away, let me 疧." In the face of the unknown future, it is inevitable to worry.
Finally, it should be pointed out that the first chapter of the poem begins with a aria, the three sentences end with "Xi", and the last chapter ends with a aria and concludes with the word "xi". The tone of each chapter in the middle is rapid, and it has the momentum of releasing the pain of the heart in one breath. Between slow and urgent, there is quite a rule, when reading the sense of lingering sound around the beam. [3-4]
