In ancient poetry, "slant" is often associated with natural phenomena such as mountains, sun, and rain. It can describe the mountains and rivers under the slanting sun, the slanting raindrops, and the slant or crookedness of a person's body when standing. Different situations give "slant" different meanings, and also allow the poem to present rich images and emotions.
In addition to being used as a word to describe natural scenes, "Xian" also often appears in poems describing characters. For example, the "inclined flying" mentioned in some ancient poems describes the "side up" or "side flying out" of the character's flying posture. Although such words do not directly express the psychological feelings of the characters, they are very vivid and allow readers to intuitively feel the characters' shapes and dynamics.
It is worth mentioning that "oblique" also has a meaning of expressing true feelings in the world. In some ancient poems, when characters feel depressed or encounter troubles, they often use "Xian" to express their inner sorrow or uneasiness. For example, poems such as "My heart is tilted, and my tears are facing each other" show the scene of the characters bowing their heads in contemplation and their heavy mood. This method of expression is concise and clear, yet affectionate and moving, fully embodying the beauty and charm of poetry.
