The sunlight is slanting to gather Lingtai, and the mangrove flowers are blooming.
Last night, the Emperor gave me a new award. Taizhen came into the curtain with a smile.
thanks to the Lord, Mrs. Guo rode into the palace gate.
however, I don't like the color of the powder, and I despise the moth's eyebrows.
Second, the translation
Madam Guo thanked the Lord and rode into the palace gate in Pingming.
Madam Guo was favored by the emperor and rode into the palace gate at dawn.
however, I don't like the color of the powder, and I despise the moth's eyebrows.
I only think that powder will tarnish her beauty, so I will go in and appear before the Supreme.
Third, appreciation
The first poem satirizes Yang Yuhuan's lightness. Yang Yuhuan was originally the concubine of the eighteen sons of Xuanzong, Shouwang Huan. Xuanzong was called into the Forbidden City as a female official, and her name was too true. Later, she was greatly favored and was conferred the title of imperial concubine. Jilingtai is a quiet place to worship the gods, and the poet pointed out that Xuanzong should not be here to give secret ceremonies to professors. It is also pointed out that the imperial concubine "smiles" at this time and voluntarily becomes a female Taoist priest, which shows that she is frivolous and coquettish. The second one satirizes the arrogance and coquettish attitude of Mrs. Guo. Mrs. Guo was Yang Yuhuan's third sister, married to Pei's family, and had a very bad reputation at that time. She is not a "empresses", but she is "indebted to the Lord" and "rides into the palace" and "worships the supreme". Self-reliance on beauty, no makeup, which shows her frivolous, but also shows Xuanzong's fatuity. The language of these two poems is quite implicit, which seems to be praise, but in fact it is derogatory, ironic and incisive.
