This poem is in praise of Wen Jiang, a beautiful woman in Zheng State. Wen Jiang is the niece of Zhuang Jiang, the heroine in the last novel Feng Wei Tells People, and she is also a noble and beautiful woman. This poem is relatively short, with two chapters and two contents that are roughly the same. Poetry praises Wen Jiang from a male perspective. The first layer describes the girl's static beauty: the girl in my car is as beautiful as hibiscus. Mainly using the method of fu, using beautiful flowers to compare beautiful girls. Next, the second layer further describes the girl's light footsteps: light footsteps are like flying, accompanied by the jingle of Yu Pei. The beautiful girl walked lightly, her clothes were as elegant as the wings of a bird, and Yu Pei nailed to her waist collided with each other and made a crisp sound. Who is that beautiful girl? Her name is Jiang Meng. She is beautiful and generous. The meaning of the second chapter is the same as that of the first chapter, which belongs to the overlapping method and strengthens praise. The ancients often said that "a gentleman must wear jade", and jade is often associated with good moral character. The description of Yu Pei worn by Wen Jiang here implies the praise of the girl's good moral character. Let's look at the translation:
There's a rickshaw.
The girl in my car looks like Lotus. Walking lightly, accompanied by the jingle of Yu Pei. The beauty's name is Jiang Meng, and she is really beautiful.
The girl I travel with looks like a hibiscus. Walking as light as a fly, wearing pearls and jingles. The beauty's name is Jiang Meng, and her good reputation will never be forgotten.
It seems that the narrative hero can't resist his inner love for the girl. So much so that I sincerely admire such a kind girl that I will never forget it.
It is said that the language in Cao Zhi's famous poem "Ode to Luoshen" during the Three Kingdoms period was deeply influenced by this poem. For example, several famous sentences describing Princess Luo Shenmi (played by Fu Sansheng): "If you can fly, you will be amazed" and "If you can fly, you can't fly" are influenced by such sentences as "Can fly, can fly" in There is a rickshaw.
Speaking of Luo Shenfu and Cao Zhi, there is another beautiful story. I'll share it with you again when I have a chance. Here I want to share with you some stories about Wen Jiang, the hero of this poem.
This song "There is a Lala Car" does not describe Wenjiang positively, but compares Furong to a bird. However, Wen Jiang is a generation of beautiful women and has a great reputation. Therefore, another book records: "The second daughter, Wen Jiang, was born with autumn water as the god, like hibiscus, and more fragrant than flowers. She is really a peerless beauty, national color. At the same time, it is widely known today and is output in words, so the number is Wen Jiang. " As can be seen from this record, Wen Jiang is indeed a rare beauty, and what is even more rare is that she also learned the lessons from the past and output them in words. It's a pity that such a beautiful woman had bad luck in the end. The story begins with Wenjiang's marriage.
It turned out that Qi Xigong was very fond of his Furong daughter and began to choose a good husband for her early. Choose to choose, finally fell in love with Zheng Qinwang. Suddenly, he is not only handsome and upright, but also the king of a country, Chu Jun. He and Wen Jiang are a natural couple. Duke Xi likes his chosen son-in-law very much and praises him in front of Wen Jiang every day, saying how handsome, honest and decisive he is. Wenjiang, like a girl in love with spring, is naturally full of expectations for this marriage.
However, just when the whole country of Qi was full of expectations for this marriage, King Zheng suddenly proposed to break off the marriage on the grounds that Qi was too big to be equal, which meant that Qi was too powerful and too low to climb up. Wen Jiang, a poor seed of love, fainted on the spot at the news and never got sick again.
However, Wen Jiang's tragic fate did not stop. He even had feelings for his own brother and almost did everything. It turns out that Wenjiang has a half-brother named Pearl. After hearing about Wenjiang's illness, he often visited Wenjiang. One to two, the two have a crush on each other. At that time, a book recorded: "When I was a child, I entered the boudoir, sat by the bed, touched it all over, asked about its sufferings, and regarded it as a mess." This incident reached the ears of Qi Huangong Xi, who was very scared. So, after the child was crowned, Qi Huangong Xi quickly married Song's daughter as a princess. Wenjiang, who has just been reborn in love, has been hit again and his condition has worsened.
At this time, it happened that Zheng Wang suddenly led an army to help Qi defeat the invading Beirong, and Qi Huangong Xi was interested in repairing Hu and Wenjiang, so he suddenly proposed to Zheng Wang. But the prince suddenly seems to be a very determined person and still refuses to marry Wen Jiang. According to historical records, I didn't dare to marry Qi Huangong's daughter until I helped Qi. Today, I was ordered to help Qi, but I took my wife back. Isn't it just for me to marry Zheng's army? What will Zheng people think of me?
Poor Wenjiang is an ancient and modern beauty, but she is extremely bumpy on her emotional road. It's really unlucky for beautiful women since ancient times, with white hair from scratch.
However, in any case, Wen Jiang described in Lesbian Car is indeed a well-deserved beauty. But this poem's praise of beauty is different from the poem describing the love of ordinary people in the Book of Songs. The poet praises the heroine from the aspects of appearance, movement, dress and personality from the perspective of men.
Writing here, I remembered the description of Zhuang Gong's daughter, Zhuang Jiang's beauty in Feng Wei's Talking about People: "Soft hands, skin coagulation, collar like a dragonfly, teeth like a rhinoceros. A cicada's head is a moth eyebrow, smiling and looking forward to it. " As mentioned earlier, Wen Jiang is Zhuang Jiang's niece, and Qi Xigong is Zhuang Jiang's brother, that is, on the 19th: in Shuo Ren, Zhuang Jiang, his mother and sister are Qi Wang, and posthumous title after the succession is Qi Xigong. So according to seniority, Zhuang Qiang is Wenjiang's aunt. With such a beautiful aunt, it is no wonder that Wenjiang is so charming and coquettish.
Since ancient times, heroes have loved beauty, and the Chiang family has a feminine beauty, Yan Ruyu. Who can not be tempted when you see it? So it is no wonder that the poet will praise again and again.
