Huang Chao's Poems after Failure
Wei Zhuang's masterpiece is the long narrative poem "The Ode to Fu Qin". This poem is as long as 1666 words, which is the longest existing Tang poem. Through the narration of a woman "Fu Qin" who fled from Chang 'an, this poem describes positively the situation that Huang Chao Uprising Army captured Chang 'an, proclaimed itself the emperor and founded the country, and competed with Tang Jun for Chang 'an many times, and finally the city was besieged and its food and grass were cut off. The ideological content is complicated. On the one hand, it exposes the so-called "atrocities" of the insurgents, on the other hand, it objectively reflects the prestige of the insurgents and the panic and corruption of the ruling class. On the one hand, it exposes Tang Jun's crime of persecuting people, on the other hand, it is mixed with the condemnation of their ineffective "suppression of thieves". It chooses typical plots and scenes and uses descriptive and hierarchical methods to reflect the complex contradictions of major historical events. Careful layout and clear context mark the development of narrative art of China's poems.
