1. Artistic features
In terms of artistic conception, the whole poem adopts fu method, narrating and expressing emotion. Tightly following the word "thinking", thinking of a woman first turns from boasting to causing thinking of a husband, and then from thinking of a husband who has no intention of dressing up to having a headache because of thinking of a husband, and then from having a headache to suffering from a heart disease because of thinking of a husband, thus showing a ups and downs trend of cadence.
The description is meticulous step by step, the feelings are deepened layer by layer, the plot is promoted layer by layer, and the inner conflict of the protagonist and the conflict are rising, which is not only clear in context, but also in line with the psychological logic of the characters, making the characters full of spiritual connotation. At the same time, the poetry is strange and uneven, full of dialectical color.

Appreciation of Wei Feng Percy
At the beginning of the poem, a woman is described with pride. "Bo" was originally the first ranking among brothers, that is, the boss. Here it is used as the address of the wife to her husband, with a sense of intimacy in her tone. This husband has something to be proud of: first, he looks brave and brave.
is a hero in a country, and at the same time, because he is very brave, he acts as the pioneer of the king (from this, he is regarded as a warrior in the aristocratic class). The source of pride, I am afraid, is mainly in the latter point. If "Bo" is tall and brave, but he flinches when the war happens, his wife has nothing to boast about openly.
Turn to the second chapter, and write that since her husband went to war, her wife stopped dressing herself at home, leaving her hair-the most decorative part of a woman's body-messy like a grass. This is a temporary destruction of women's beauty, which shows that she is closed to the opposite sex, that is, she is loyal to her husband.
However, as a soldier's wife, this move has further implications. In ancient times, women were not allowed to go to war, so the wife's loyalty to her husband who joined the army actually indirectly showed her loyalty to the country-this is not only an individual behavior, but also a group-the requirements of the country.
suppose a soldier is risking his life to fight in the front, but his wife is dressed up all day in the rear, and he can't feel at ease even if he doesn't do anything wrong. This is not only dangerous for the family, but also extremely unfavorable for the country. Therefore, in particular, society needs to encourage military wives to show complete loyalty to their husbands.
no matter who wrote this poem (it may be a woman's self-report or someone else's plan), it is in line with the above requirements. Later, Du Fu's "The Wedding Farewell" wrote that a bride told her husband who joined the army that she would "never do anything again" and "wash her red makeup when she was a gentleman" so that he could go to war with peace of mind, which is in the same strain as this article.
However, although the heroine in the poem can be regarded as "deeply aware of the righteousness" and she is very proud that her husband can be "the forerunner of the king", the long-awaited failure still brings her great pain. For ancient women, the whole content of life and the only source of happiness were family; When their families are destroyed, their lives are completely destroyed.
The husband who is waiting to join the army is different from the general lovesickness-there is deep fear behind it. Hidden in the literal fear that her husband will not come back in the end. This is the basis of understanding the heroine's expectation, disappointment and unbearable pain described in the third and fourth chapters.
She even wishes she could "forget her worries", because this "worry" has made her unbearable. Poetry must have true feelings, otherwise it can't impress people; However, the poet's feelings are not freely expressed, and they are often restricted by social concepts.
Take "Wei Feng Percy" as an example. If you just write that the wife is proud of her husband's service to the country, it will make people feel unnatural-at least inhuman. On the other hand, if you blindly write about your wife's longing for her husband and even develop an aversion to war (which is by no means impossible in fact), it does not meet the requirements of the society at that time.
So in the end, it became like this: the strong feelings for relatives became gentle after combing with the sense of responsibility, and there was deep pain and sorrow, but there was no fierce resentment.
