The Legend of Phoenix Seeking Phoenix is a guqin song written by Sima Xiangru, a writer in Han Dynasty, which interprets the love story between Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. Taking "phoenix seeking phoenix" as a perfect metaphor not only contains passionate courtship, but also symbolizes the extraordinary ideals, lofty purport and tacit understanding of the hero and heroine.
The whole poem has shallow meaning, bright syllables and passionate feelings, which combines the beauty of Chu Ci with the freshness of Han folk songs. Even if it is a fake of later generations, it will not weaken its artistic value. There are many poems, novels, songs and movies of the same name in past dynasties.

Historical allusion
Legend has it that Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, one is a gifted scholar who is regarded as a distinguished guest by the county magistrate of Lin Qiong, and the other is a beautiful woman who is widowed and widowed. Their story begins with visiting Zhuo's house and playing the famous "Phoenix Begging for Phoenix" in Zhuo's lobby:
"Feng Feng returned to her hometown and traveled all over the world to find her death. There are beautiful women in the boudoir, and the people in the room poison my intestines. Why do you want to be a mandarin duck? " This kind of words, which are equally straightforward, bold and warm today, naturally made Zhuo Wenjun, who was listening behind the scenes, feel sincerely excited. After meeting Sima Xiangru, they fell in love at first sight and agreed to elope.
That night, Zhuo Wenjun packed up and walked out of the house, and met Sima Xiangru who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, thus completing the most brilliant event in their lives.
Zhuo Wenjun is a strange girl. And Sima Xiangru returned to Chengdu, facing the family's predicament (which is a great test for love), he generously returned to his hometown in Lin Qiong to open a hotel and sell wine himself, and finally let his proud father admit their love. Although later Taoists called their elopement "lewd running", it did not prevent them from becoming role models for many couples in the future.
After that, there is another incident worth remembering: Sima Xiangru once fell in love with a talented woman, and Zhuo Wenjun wrote "Ballad of the White Head", accompanied by "I heard that you have two opinions, so I came to say goodbye" and "I hope to be one and never give up". Finally, let the other party change their minds.
