It may be that he has been wandering all his life and often separated from his wife. Li Bai is particularly concerned about the pain of his wife who is not with her husband. These wives are not limited to a certain class, including peasant women, military wives and palace ladies.
"Song of Jingzhou", the wheat is ripe and the cocoon is knotted. The Jingzhou peasant woman misses her husband in Bashu and hopes that they will return as soon as possible. But "there is a storm near Baidicheng, and they dare to cross Qutang in May", and they are worried that the way home is not safe. The predicament shows that the peasant woman's love for her husband is meticulous. "Crying in the Night" "The edge of Huang Yuncheng wants to live, and it cries on the dumb branch. In the machine, Jin Qinchuan is female, and the blue yarn is like smoke. I stopped the bus and thought of people in the distance. I stayed in a lonely room and burst into tears. " The weaver girl in the poem is infatuated with her husband who travels far away. After reading it, He Zhangzhi not only thought it was "shocking to cry", but I couldn't help feeling disappointed for a long time after reading it more than a thousand years later. During the Long March, a couple who were childhood friends and never separated, the husband did not return after a long trip for half a year, and the wife showed her thoughts about her husband in her memories of the past. Love in the age of innocence is desirable.
Guan Shanyue, the bright moon rises from the mountain of heaven, in the infinite haze of the sea of clouds. The mighty wind blew Wan Li and crossed Yumen Pass. At that time, Han soldiers pointed at the mountain road, and Tubo coveted the vast territory of Qinghai. This is a land of wars in past dynasties, and few soldiers can survive. The garrison soldier looked at the remote border town, and his hometown could not help but look sad. People upstairs tonight, sighing should not be idle. "The first eight sentences describe the scenery, explain the sinister environment and situation, and the last four sentences describe the feelings. Soldiers and their wives, "You miss me, too." The word "sigh" in the last two sentences is enough to make readers cry forever. Spring thoughts, the grass in your north is blue as jade, and the mulberries here are bent into moss. When you miss your hometown, you were missed and sad a long time ago. Spring breeze, since I dare not know you, why should I separate the silk curtain beside my bed? ? "Although I didn't write about Guan Shanyue's sinister situation, I can't get rid of my thoughts and loneliness. One of Wu Ge's four poems in the middle of the night, a bright moon hangs high in the capital, and ten thousand mallets break it. The autumn wind blew Yi Dao's voice, and every household remembered the people guarding the border. Oh, when will the Tatar army be conquered and when will my husband come back from the long battle! ? "The point is not sadness, but expressing wishes: the war is over and the husband and wife can be reunited. Similar works include Yi Dao (a beautiful woman in her teens) and Sauvignon Blanc (flowers and cigarettes every day).
Works that show the tragic fate of ladies-in-waiting, such as "Jade Family": "The jade steps are cold and dew, and the silk bottom is wet, which lingers for a long time. But what about looking at the water curtain of autumn moon light through crystal glass? "The ladies-in-waiting who failed to win the favor of the emperor had an exceptionally long and deserted night. In contrast, they are not as good as folk women. Although the work is hard, there is no lack of freedom and happiness in life. Written in Five Poems by Yue Nv, it is the water life of Vietnamese women. For example, the third song: "The lotus pickers in the west field sing back when they see the guests." Laugh into the lotus, don't be ashamed. "These off-road women are like happy elves in the fairy tale world. Du Xunhe (Zhou Pu's works), a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote "Complaining about the Spring Palace", which shows the nostalgia of women who entered the palace for their hometown life when they were young.
Du Fu is different from Li Bai. His concern for women is mainly reflected in his sympathy for their unfortunate fate. He is more willing to pay attention to the living conditions of women in difficult times and special circumstances, rather than the general feelings of missing and loneliness. Li Bai's romance and Du Fu's reality can be seen here.
Wedding Farewell is not only an ode to women, but also an elegy for women. The newly married woman in the poem is gentle and knowledgeable. Newly married, it should be the time for couples to be touching. However, the couple in the Tang Dynasty faced a painful situation: their husbands were drafted into the army and were about to leave. "If you become a wife, your seat won't warm your bed", "You are going to die today, and you are forced to suffer! Swear to go with you, the situation is yellow. Don't worry about the wedding, work hard! ..... Facing Junyong! " In my opinion, the wife in the poem lost her mind in grief, instead of crying blindly, she advised her husband to "work hard", which increased the aesthetic feeling of the characters and the artistic appeal of the poem. Du Fu also wrote a poem about a military wife smashing clothes. "rags" "I also know that I won't come back, I will wipe the anvil in autumn. Near the bitter cold month, the feeling is long. It's better to say that I'm tired of stamping my feet and burning my feet. At one stroke, the wall fell deep-I tried my best in the boudoir and listened to the empty voice. " It is not difficult to see that the military wife in Du Fu's poems is not a weak-minded woman, but a woman who is still full of strength in grief. Her love for her husband is not manifested in melancholy and daze, but in more efforts.
"The Wind" and "Who is cuter than her? However, she lived alone in an empty valley ... when the problem appeared in the customs area, her brother and close relatives were killed. What do senior officials say, they don't even shield their own lives? ... her husband, with a wandering heart, is looking for a new face like jade ... All he can see is a new smile. How can we hear the old man crying ... Waiting for her maid to come back after selling pearls, and then looking for straw to build a roof ... She forgot the sleeves of thin silk and the cold, and leaned against a tall bamboo in the sunset. " Some critics call this poem a work entrusted by literati, while others call it a work entrusted by realism. In my opinion, whether it is a work commissioned by a scholar or not, it is enough to show that Du Fu is extremely sympathetic to the flirting of women and men who have been hurt by the war. In Du Fu's eyes and writings, this unfortunate woman is so beautiful.
"Negative salary line", "Kuizhou virgin hair half China, 450 no husband's family. What's more, I was married and didn't sell it. I hated it for a long time. In the ground wind, men sit and women stand, and women enter and women go out. Nine times out of ten, the salary is negative, and the money sold must be paid. To the old couple, the neck is drooping, and the wild flowers are mixed with Shan Ye leaves and silver. Strive to climb the dangerous market gate and shoot the salt well for life and death. The makeup on the face is full of tears, and the clothes on the ground are cold and sleepy in Shi Gen. If Wushan women are ugly, how can there be Zhaojun Village! " Kuizhou women are inferior to men, with high labor intensity, ugly appearance and outdated makeup. Coupled with the war, a large number of men died in the battlefield, and they could not get married in their forties and fifties. Du Fu expressed deep sympathy for these middle-aged and unattractive women in Kuizhou (now Fengjie, Chongqing). It can be seen that Du Fu's concern for women is not limited to young and beautiful women (Xiangyu). In my opinion, the poet's ideological realm is much higher than the general cherish jade. Zaiwulang is also a work of this kind. "In front of the hall, there is a woman without food and children. It's best not to be trapped, not to be poor, and to change from fear to intimacy. In other words, although there are many things that can prevent visitors from afar, it is very real to insert hedges. I have begged to be poor to the bone, and I am thinking about the tears of the horse. " Widows and neighbors are not allowed to eat dates. Although it is only a trivial matter of life, it can be seen that Du Fu has profound sympathy.
Watching Gong Sundaniang's Disciples Dance Sword is a work mourning the past, but there is no lack of appreciation for the female artist (famous court dancer, Gong Sundaniang). "Years ago, there lived a beautiful Gongsun, and his sword was very powerful. The audience is like a mountain lost between them, moving back and forth between heaven and earth, following her movements ... ". Throughout the ages, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, there are not a few poems praising a court and its dance art with such warm language.
