Creation background
Strange Trees in the Courtyard is a poem in funeral march, the ninth of nineteen ancient poems. There are different opinions about the background of Nineteen Ancient Poems. Yuwen Suoan thinks that China's early poems are a kind of copying system, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that "ancient poetry" was earlier than Jian 'an period.
Mu Zhai put forward nineteen ancient poems, which are an important part of Jian 'an poetry. Most of these poems were written by Cao Zhi. Shan Li's annotation on Zhao Wenming's Selected Miscellaneous Poems once explained clearly: "I don't know the author of ancient poetry." It is also the mainstream view since the twentieth century, and it is believed that it was written in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Modern people comprehensively investigate the emotional tendency, social life and skillful artistic skills reflected in Nineteen Ancient Poems. It is generally believed that the age of these nineteen poems should be decades earlier than that of Dixian Jian 'an in the late Han Dynasty. As for the specific creation time of "there are strange trees in the courtyard", it is difficult to confirm.
