Chen Yuanyuan
"The old nest * * * is a swallow with mud in its mouth, which flies to the branches and becomes a phoenix." -"Yuanyuanqu"
Based on the story of joys and sorrows between Chen Yuanyuan and Wu Sangui, this poem shows a vast social picture during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The whole poem is large-scale, and the life experience of the characters is intertwined with the fate of the country and the nation, which not only shapes the flesh-and-blood characters, but also reflects the major historical events at that time. The poet uses a variety of structural techniques, such as tracing narrative, inserting narrative and clamping narrative, to make the plot tortuous and legendary. Others, such as psychological portrayal, the use of historical allusions and predecessors' poems, and the discussion interspersed in narrative, are all just right. The sense of historical vicissitudes contained in the whole poem reveals strong subjective feelings and increases the appeal of the poem.
