"Couple's Words" and "Dong Jiao'er".
1. Poor and humble couples are saddened by everything. When will they forget that the world is far away? Jiao Ke helped each other that day, and the grass faded all night long, and I was worried in my dreams. A Confucian scholar who lived in Jingnan once lived in Qiannan, Guizhou Province. The green mountains are faint and the water is far away, and the grass and trees in the south of the Yangtze River are withered in autumn. The old wife wept with tears like rain, and could not bear to be sad when she heard the dragon bell. The weather is cold, the green sleeves and wrists are green, don't look at it by yourself. "Poem for Couples" was written by Ma Zhiyuan, a writer of the Yuan Dynasty. This poem describes Wang Anshi's hardship and helplessness in marrying an elderly wife in his later years. It also expresses the couple's mutual dependence, adversity and passion. Poor and lowly couples are saddened by everything. When will they forget that the world is far away?
2. Cuidian’s family is old, while Haishi’s family is poor. When the matchmaker is unscrupulous, he will be good-looking when he meets you. If you want to know a woman's heart, look into her clothes. This is Su Shi's poem "Dong Jiao'er" describing Wang Anshi's old wife. Among them, "Cuidian's family is old" refers to Wang Anshi's wife who is old, while "Haishi's girl's family is poor" refers to his other wife who is poor and unable to marry. The poem describes Wang Anshi's other emotional world, showing his persistence and pursuit of beauty. The entire poem reflects the marriage customs of the society at that time and people's different understandings of love through the description of Dong Jiaoer and the profile of Wang Anshi.
