This poem is from Yuan Yuanqu by Wu, a poet in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and was written in Xin Maochu 165 1 in the eighth year of Shunzhi. The original text is: "It is beautiful to lose all six armies." Chen Yuanyuan was one of the world-famous "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" in the late Ming Dynasty.
At that time, fame overshadowed the gentle and lovely Dong Xiaowan. Chen Yuanyuan was first presented to Emperor Chongzhen by Tian Hong, but she was not favored by Chongzhen, and was later accepted as a concubine by Wu Sangui.
1644, in the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng the conqueror captured Beijing. Chongzhen hanged himself.
In early April, Wu Sangui personally led his men to meet the new emperor Li Zicheng. But on the way, I heard that Dashun army arrested a large number of senior officials in Beijing, and their father Wu Xiang was among them. What excites him even more is that his beloved concubine Chen Yuanyuan has also been robbed. According to legend, Wu Sangui flew into a rage at that time and snapped, "A gentleman doesn't care about women, so how can he meet people?" Then he returned to Shanhaiguan for the second time, surrendered and rebelled, and staged a unique scene of "rushing to the crown and being angry as a beauty".
Based on the above-mentioned historical facts, Wu, a poet in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, wrote a seven-character Yuefu poem "Qinyuan Qu", which reflected the political events in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and tactfully condemned Wu Sangui's behavior of lowering the Qing Dynasty.
