It reached its peak in the Han Dynasty. Because there were more wars in the Han Dynasty.
The poem of thinking about women is a tradition of poetic art with a long history, which originated in the pre-Qin period.
The Book of Songs Feng Wang Gentleman in Service is a typical poem that misses women. However, there was no word "thinking of women" at that time. According to the records in Selected Works, the word "thinking of women" was first seen in Song Yu's Gao Tang Fu in the Warring States Period: "Sisters miss women and hang high in the nest, and they sing." But at this time, "thinking of a woman" refers to the name of a bird.
It wasn't until Song Shu Le Zhi quoted Cao Pi's Yan Ge Xing: "Xi Xi misses her hometown, so why should you send her to stay for a long time?" Only then did "thinking about her" really mean missing a woman who was far away from her husband.
Poems on Thinking of Women in the Tang Dynasty
Poems on Thinking of Women in the Tang Dynasty have formed a school of their own, which can be roughly divided into three categories: wives who were requisitioned to guard the border areas, businesswomen who paid more attention to profits than separation, and wives who went out to study in Chang 'an for ten years to seek fame. Some of them expressed their feelings about the separation of their wives during the war, and some of them also contained the meaning that the author had no talent. See poems:
