A young woman in the boudoir will never be sad; Spring came dressed up and boarded Chui Building alone.
Suddenly I saw the green willows, and I felt uncomfortable; Oh, I regret that I shouldn't have asked my husband to find Hou Feng.
Court resentment

The willow color is uneven, and the ground is covered with paintings. Xiaoying cries and sends her worries to the palace.
No one looks at the flowers every year, and the spring springs out of the ditch.

In the autumn night, candlelight reflected the screen, and Fan slapped the fireflies with his hand.

How deep is the yard?
The willow piles up smoke, but the curtain is not heavy.
Jade music carving saddle tour smelting place, the building is not high, look at Zhangtai Road.

When those red berries come in spring, they flush on your southern branches.
People who want to miss them collect more, and Mix red beans have attracted people's attention.
Yu's "Give a Daughter to the Neighbor" (for Mr.) is a famous sentence written in despair after she learned that she left Chang 'an with her wife:
Shame on sleeves, worry about spring and lazy makeup;
It's easier to find priceless treasure than to have a lover.
Tears are hidden on the pillow, and flowers are dark and heartbroken;
You can spy out why Song Yu hates Wang Chang.
There are many poems in funeral march in ancient times, which mainly describe the abandonment and yearning for women. With the theme of hurting spring, this paper analyzes the complex psychological state of women's sorrow, regret, loss or sadness under specific social situations and life experiences.
In my heart forever's poems mainly describe the sadness of abandoned wives and homesick wives in ancient times (including women, businessmen, vagrants, etc.). ), or the feelings of a girl who is in love with her lover. Both of these poems originated in the Zhou Dynasty: There is a poem "Hundred Flowers" in The Book of Songs Xiaoya. According to Zhu's Biography of Poetry, he was full of praise for it. After applying for the World Heritage, he wrote this poem to self-harm, which blamed the origin of this poem on the ancient court. The poems of "Chang Huai" in The Book of Songs are particularly rich, such as "Dream of Abandoning a Wife" and "Bo He" and "Serving a Gentleman in the Middle School", which are all representatives of the early poems of "Chang Huai". During the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the poems in my heart always developed by leaps and bounds. The most famous ones are Songs of Sorrow, Poems of White-headed Singing, Picking the Witches in the Mountains, Ancient Poems of Traveling Again, Beauty by Cao Zhi, Poems in Yuefu in the Southern and Northern Dynasties by Fu Xuan, etc. In in my heart forever's Poems, we can also see that the reality that men are superior to women makes many women and unmarried girls who leave home often worry about their husbands and lovers. In case of parting, the woman's mood is even more painful: "If you want to stop holding Lang's clothes, where can you ask Lang to travel?" Don't hate coming home late, and don't go to Lin Qiong. "(Nie Zhongyi's Old Parting) This is the same as Yingying's warning to Zhang Sheng in The West Chamber that" if you see flowers and plants in a foreign land, you will sleep here ",fearing that her husband will find another new lover. Especially since the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the popularity of official travel and official summons, the improvement of literati's status and the implementation of the imperial examination system, the awareness of "official standard" of scholars has been increasing day by day, and they often "go to the city" and travel in many ways and never return for a long time, thus "leaving their families alone" (Xu Gan's On the Abandonment of Friends). Once you get an official position, your identity and status will change, and it is inevitable to abandon your wife and children and find another lover. As the old saying goes, "When a slut becomes famous, she will abandon her wife. "The above-mentioned poem" in my heart forever "with the theme of wandering women truly shows women's anxiety and resentment.
As for the poem "Always in My Heart" written by a merchant woman, the sad focus of her lyric hero lies in her husband's emphasis on profit over separation, and his promise of no letter. Liu Tang Deren's "Jia Fu Complain": "Marrying a businessman is a hoary head, and there has never been a day. Let you pursue profit and despise the rivers and seas, and don't treat the wind and waves as a concubine. " In fact, women in this marriage relationship are no different from those who abandon their wives. Therefore, in addition to mourning their abandoned fate, they are often more sorry.
In in my heart forever's Poems, there are many works about seducing women. Because the ancient rulers frequently launched internal and external wars, the military service system was dark and the people's corvee burden was heavy. The phenomenon of "being over eighty years old, still living in exile, or just joining the army at the age of seven" (Song Shu (100)) is not only a matter of the Song Dynasty; The so-called "fifteen-year military service system, returning at the age of eighty" (Han Yuefu's fifteen-year military service system) is not an exaggeration. After years of conscription, on the one hand, it is difficult for conscripts and servants to go home, on the other hand, it makes countless homesick women stay at home alone, thus producing many poems that will always be in their hearts. These poems also have deep grievances, but the emotional connotation is different from the poem "Always in My Heart" mentioned above. Such as Shen Quanqi's "Three Miscellaneous Poems" the third song:
Against Huanglong City, our army was sent out a long time ago. The girls here look at the same melancholy moon, illuminating our China soldiers.
Young wives dreamed of spring, and last night their brave husbands. In a big attack, Huanglong City was captured with flags and drums.
Of course, he also complained that he had hurt his lover for a long time, but he showed a hatred and war-weariness more prominently. This kind of poetry not only complains about the war, but also reveals a kind of melancholy, but it is not her husband's farewell to the old and welcome the new (except for a few works), but her life and death and warmth. For example, "Sit and think about drums, save a hundred arrows with one heart" (Lu Guimeng's Lonely Candle), "You should be haggard when struggling, and your cold clothes are not wide" (Bai Juyi's in my heart forever), and "You should pay more attention to Jiang Xue" (Chen Tao's Ten Water Diversions).
Judging from the creative characteristics, both Poems of Complaining about the Ancient Palace and in my heart forever are full of folk songs. Many of their works were originally folk songs since the Zhou and Han Dynasties. Scholars are also influenced by folk songs. In addition to attacking the theme of Yuefu, their folk customs are also highlighted in the following aspects:
(1) strong sentimental tone. This is determined by the social status and psychological state of ancient women under the feudal patriarchal clan system, and also by the theme of two kinds of poems (that is, "resentment"). Since the Zhou, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the poems of palace resentment and the poems of eternal mind in folk songs have formed a sentimental traditional tone; What the literati wrote, whether it is the lament of "the impermanence of your grace" and "the misfortune of my concubine" in the palace poems, or the eternal regret in the heart poems or the separation of husband and wife, has a very obvious sentimental tone. Therefore, they are also an important part of ancient sentimental literature.
(2) Delicate psychological description. The two kinds of poems mostly use the first person (that is, the way of lyric heroine's inner monologue) to describe women's grievances. A poem is not only a tragedy of life fate, but also a sad song of painful psychology, which weaves a spiritual history of ancient women full of bitterness and tears of their daughters. On this basis, these poems often vividly depict the psychology of lyric heroines through detailed descriptions of modality and action. No matter the creation of folk songs or literati, most of them are good at expressing psychological activities delicately with actions or modality.
(3) just the right contrast. It is the specialty of folk songs to give things and write feelings through comparison. "Mulberry leaves are lush before it falls" and "Mulberry leaves are withered when it falls" (the Book of Songs is for self-protection), which is a metaphor for the rise and fall of love. "I often fear that the autumn festival will come, and the cool wind will seize the heat. Abandoning donations, the Tao is absolutely out of grace "(Han Yuefu's" Songs of Complaint "), which is a metaphor for" your grace is impermanent "; "Nong is the north star, and it has not turned for a thousand years. Happy during the day, facing the east and returning to the west at dusk "("Midnight Song ") is a metaphor for women's faithfulness and men's fickle feelings. Scholars' poems are often like this, such as "how old are you when you send your family to levy a river bank?" It is better to believe in the tide, and the sun will reach Shatou "(Zhang's" Two Poems on the Spring River "), just like Li Yi's" Jiangnan Qu ",the tide has a letter to set off people's return; "Jade is not as beautiful as West Western jackdaw, but still bears the shadow of Zhaoyang" (Wang Changling's Five Poems of Long Letter in Autumn (the third), and West Western jackdaw still bears the shadow of the sun to set off the kindness of Ban Ji; Spring has come, and I admire Gong Hua, so I want to walk out of the forbidden wall "(Zheng Gu's Two Complaints about Nagato). Gong Hua can walk out of the forbidden wall and set off the claustrophobia of maids. All this was cleverly set off by Bi Xing, full of twists and turns. There is another kind of competition, which is based on the feeling of "not meeting a scholar" expressed by Gong Yu, and has always been in my heart. Because "I abandoned my wife, and I have been sympathetic since ancient times. Keep your ambition and stay at home, which is entrusted by the gentleman "("Chen Ling's poems are better than the line ",Volume III). Therefore, this technique is favored by "unexpected" literati in poetry creation. Obviously, these works are more tortuous than ordinary poems about palace grievances and in my heart forever's poems.
(4) On the basis of the above characteristics, two types of poems are formed: shallow and deep. "Shallow" means their language is simple, natural and easy to understand; "Deep" means that their artistic conception can often be deep, graceful and infinite. For example, Shen Deqian commented on Wang Changling's "Poems of Long Letter and Autumn" (offering a broom to open the golden palace): "You are soft and charming, with endless implications, which makes people sigh." Comment on the Prelude to the Temple: "It is a national style to talk only about the favor of others, not about your own fall from grace." (For example, two kinds of poems generally do not attach importance to the use of canon, and even if they are used, they are familiar to everyone, except Gillian, Banji, Zhaojun, Wen Jun, wife of Qi Liang, Wang Fuzhi, Cowherd and Weaver Girl. However, practice often makes perfect: either "replacing the fetus with bone" or "reversing the case", the artistic conception will feel profound and graceful.
