Among all kinds of handkerchiefs waving at you
Whose hand suddenly retracted?
Cover your eyes tightly.
When people disperse, who
Still standing at the stern
Skirts are flying like turbulent clouds.
Tao Jiang
Speak louder.
Lower your voice.
Beautiful dreams leave beautiful sadness.
Generation after generation.
However, the heart
Can it really turn into stone?
Because the crane overlooks the distant sky.
I miss the moonlight by the river countless times.
Along the river bank
The torrent of Jin Ju and Ligustrum lucidum
Is inciting new betrayal.
Instead of being exhibited on a cliff for thousands of years.
Why not cry on your lover's shoulder all night?
Jin Ju and Ligustrum lucidum: "Jin Ju" and "Ligustrum lucidum" are common plants in Wuxia Gorge. They gather together to form a "torrent" to welcome ships. They are full of vitality, freedom and liveliness, embody the philosophy that life belongs to oneself and should be dominated by oneself, and inspire people to abandon the old ethical shackles of living for "norms".
It is inciting a new betrayal: launching a new women's liberation movement in pursuit of secular happiness.
As a sincere and true poetess, Shu Ting clearly shows the position of women in this poem, and her whole poem is full of distinct female consciousness. This poem reflects the deep understanding and care for women, and the euphemistic and delicate expression is entirely female. Moreover, Shu Ting did not directly shout out the slogan against feudal ethics, but publicized her pursuit of women's liberation through "the torrent of Jinguangju Ligustrum lucidum". "It is better to cry on your lover's shoulder all night than to exhibit on the cliff for a thousand years" is the main theme of the whole poem and the highest peak of lyric poetry. This is the call of women in the new era based on the truth of life. She called on women to boldly pursue worldly happiness, cry for love and laugh for love, instead of sacrificing their happiness for the false name of "virgin chastity woman".
