What does beauty mean in ancient times?

First of all, it refers to beautiful women. The poem "Moonrise" mentioned above describes a man missing his sweetheart under the moon. At this time, there was good wine and beautiful scenery, but there was a shortage of a beauty. I hoped that a beauty would add to the fun. In this case, it makes sense to directly interpret it as "beauty", not to mention that Su Shi had a singing girl named Chaoyun.

Secondly, "beauty" refers to one's own ideal pursuit. The reason is that Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou at this time, and the possibility of realizing his ideal of helping the world and serving the country has become increasingly slim. Like the "beauty" far away in the world, the author "worked hard" for her and felt sad.

Again, "beauty" refers to the monarch. The reason is that although Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou at this time and was "far away from the rivers and lakes", he still "worried about his king" with his "ambition of great swans".

Use "beauty" to describe the emperor, and use "look" to express loyalty to the emperor

In Su Shi's "Red Cliff Ode", the host and guest looked at the hazy and elegant moon over the river, raised their glasses and chanted "The Book of Songs· When Chen Feng "Moonrise", in their eyes, the moon is a pure and pure woman, elegant and affectionate, and the host and guest are happy because of it; immersed in the vastness of the mist, they buckle the boat and sing: "The mist is coming to me. "Looking at the beauty in the sky", the moon is so out of reach, which makes the host and guest feel sad. It can be seen that it is this sentimental "beauty" that affects the emotions of the host and the guest. "Beauty" carries the complex meaning of the author Su Shi The emotion of "Beauty" actually embodies the author's loyalty to the emperor. The second paragraph of "Chibi Fu" has obvious traces of inheriting "Chu Ci", and almost all the lyrics quoted in it are adapted from Chu Ci. Come on, Su Shi definitely not only inherited Mr. Qu's writing style in form, but should also have a deeper meaning. Qu Yuan was "faithful but doubtful, loyal but slandered". He could not gain the trust of King Huai of Chu and was exiled; Su Shi Because of the "Wutai Poetry Case", he was demoted to Huangzhou and had ambitions but could not be rewarded. This shows how similar the experiences and fates of the two wise men of the era were! Although Qu Yuan was exiled, he still did not forget to miss his king and serve the country. Although Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, he was still alive. Living in the "wilderness" did not destroy his loyalty to support the imperial court. This shows how similar the thoughts of the two wise men of the era were! Therefore, in "Red Cliff Ode", the author expresses his loyalty to the monarch by thinking about "beauty", Using "beauty" to compare to the emperor describes Su Shi's loyalty to the emperor.

At the same time, "beauty" also symbolizes the author's beautiful ideals.

The image of "beauty" is used in ancient poetry Another meaning of "Jianjia" comes from "The Book of Songs·Qin Feng·Jianjia": "Jianjia is green, and the white dew is like frost. The so-called Yiren is on the side of the water. If you follow it back, the road is long and blocked. If you follow it back, you will be in the middle of the water." ..." In the poem, the "Yiren" is pursued hard by the pursuer but cannot be found in the end. "Yiren" symbolizes the "ideal". The pursuit of "Yiren" cannot be obtained. In essence, it is the pursuit of ideals but cannot be obtained. Modern poet Dai Wangshu in his In the poem "Rain Lane", the meaning of "beauty" is reborn through the use of "Lilac Girl". The male protagonist meets the "Lilac Girl" while searching, and then misses it when the "Lilac Girl" sighs. Isn't it right? What about the persistence in pursuing beautiful ideals and the venting of the confusion of losing pursuit of ideals?
