Was the first poetess Cai Yan or Xu Mu?

The first poetess was Mrs. Xu Mu, who was not only the first patriotic poetess in the history of China literature, but also the earliest patriotic poetess in the history of world literature.

Mrs. Xu Mu's poems are full of strong patriotic thoughts and feelings. The Book of Songs, China's first poetry collection, contains three articles: Bamboo, Spring Water and Re-eating. She was also included in Zuo Zhuan because she wrote the poem In the Pool, and became the first female poet recorded in ancient classic history books.

Extended data:

After his wife married as the daughter of Wei, that is, the princess of Weiguo, his wife's younger brother Wei missed the opportunity because of political dissoluteness. When Mrs. Xu Mu judged by her own cleverness that weak Guo Xu was no match for Germany, she asked to save Guo Wei from danger by herself.

On the way, I was chased back by Dr. Guo Xu, and my wife was very angry. She wrote a poem "Zaichi", denouncing the petty officials and vulgar officials in Guo Xu, expressing a woman's firm belief in loving and saving the motherland.

Of course, the poem "Eating" is mainly about expressing emotions. In order to respond to the ease and ups and downs of the poet's feelings, the poet repeatedly changes the sentence pattern and tone, uses scattered sentences and parallel sentences, or States, or reprimands, or laments, and from time to time turns into eager shouts. The whole poem is soaring, ups and downs, rapid rhythm and high momentum. But the dynamic pictures in the poem are active, flesh-and-blood and real people.
