Ruyi Niang
Wu Zetian [Tang Dynasty]
Zhu Jian thinks in succession, looking haggard and fragmented.
If you don't believe me, you will cry. Open the box and take the pomegranate skirt.
translate
Acacia is excessive, so that it is emotional, and red is regarded as green in a trance; My body is haggard and I am in a trance, just because I miss you so much.
If you don't believe that I cried recently because I miss you, then open my suitcase and look at the tears on my pomegranate skirt.
Creative background:
Emperor Taizong collapsed, and Wu Zetian lived in Ganye Temple as Nepal. Emperor Li Zhi saw her in the temple and summoned her to the palace to worship Zhao Yi. During her stay in Ganye Temple, Wu Zetian wrote her most famous poem "Ruyi Niang", which was written for Li Zhi in Tang Gaozong.
The poem Ruyi Niang is full of homesickness and sadness, with a tortuous scale, which combines the style of Yuefu in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, beautiful and subtle, gorgeous and fresh. It is the representative work of Wu Zetian and has a certain influence on later generations. Zhu later became a common idiom in Tang and Song Dynasties.
