The girl is going to get married and be happy at her husband's house.
This is a beautiful poem about women. Although Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong were not mentioned directly, the word "son" in the sentence "Return to hometown" was interpreted by some people as referring to Qi Huangong, because he was the son of the Zhou Emperor. By describing a woman's beauty, this poem highlights her characteristics as a noble wife and indirectly expresses her praise for Qi Huangong.
2. Farewell of Fu De Gu Caoyuan
Author: Bai Juyi
The long grass is so lush that the withered grass will thicken the color of the grass every autumn and winter.
Wildfire can't burn it out, but the spring breeze can revive it.
Weeds and wild flowers are all over the ancient road, and the end of the grass in the sun is your journey.
I once again sent my bosom friend, and the thick grass represented my deep affection.
Although Guan Zhong is not directly mentioned in this poem, the description of the tenacious grass can be associated with the historical scene that made Qi powerful with Guan Zhong's assistance. The poem "Ah, my friend's prince, you are gone again" may be extended to farewell and nostalgia for the excellent combination of monarch and minister in history.
3. Guan Zhong's theory
Author: Xunzi
This is not a poem, but Xunzi's evaluation of Guan Zhong in his works. Xunzi praised Guan Zhong as a "virtuous minister" and thought that although his personal interests were damaged, he could help your career and was a representative of loyalty and wisdom.
Although there are not many works of Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong directly mentioned in ancient poems, their stories left a deep impression in the history of China and were widely praised by later generations.
Here is your explanation:
1. Crossing the Old Town
Author: Du Mu (Tang Dynasty)
The fertile water of the river was painted as a war picture, and the people had to collect firewood to support their feet.
When will we raise our glasses again? I don't know when the ship will go straight to Yun Fan Airport.
This poem describes the poet's mood when he passed through the old capital of Qi State. Although Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong were not mentioned directly, the phrase "Zeguo Jiangshan entered the war map" indirectly reflected the strength of Qi in Qi Huangong's period. The poet expresses his nostalgia for modern people in the past by describing the war and the lives of ordinary people.
2. Guan Zhong Ge
Author: Liu Yuxi (Tang Dynasty)
Guan Zhong was poor for a long time, and thorns were born under his door.
Once in the state, glory will grow wings.
This poem eulogizes Guan Zhong's talent and achievements, and expresses the theme that a person can finally succeed through his own efforts and talents even in poverty.
Although these works do not directly describe the story of Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong's "reporting evil with good", they reflect people's admiration for this famous combination of monarch and minister. If you are interested in the story of "repaying evil with good" between Qi Huangong and Guan Zhong, you may need to consult the ancient history books such as Historical Records or Zuo Zhuan, which are recorded in more detail.
