First, according to the content of this poem, we can see that the main characters are Cowherd and Weaver Girl:
Far Morning Altar, the tenth of Nineteen Ancient Poems, reflects love life with the help of the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, an ancient myth and legend. Morning glory and Weaver Girl are the names of two stars. This poem "Far Morning Altar" in Nineteen Ancient Poems describes the separation of the morning glory and the weaver girl. Its era was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, slightly earlier than that of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.
Second, according to the appreciation of poetry, we can also see that:
Morning glory and Weaver Girl are the names of two stars. Altair, or "Hegu II", is located in the east of the Milky Way. Vega, also known as "Tiansun", is located in the west of the Milky Way, opposite the morning glory. In China, the folk stories of Petunia Guantian and Weaver Girl originated very early. The Book of Songs Xiaoya Dadong wrote the morning glory and the weaver girl, but it was only written as two stars. "Spring and Autumn Yuanmingbao" and "Zibo Town in Huainan" began to say that the weaver girl is a goddess. In Cao Pi's Ge Yanxing, Cao Zhi's Luo Shen Fu and Jiu Yong, Petunia and Zhinv became husband and wife. Cao Zhi's "Nine Songs" said: "The cow is the husband and the weaver girl is the woman. The star of the Weaver Penny is everywhere by the river drum, and it will be a while after July 7. " This is the clearest record at that time. This poem "Far Morning Altar" in Nineteen Ancient Poems describes the separation of the morning glory and the weaver girl. Its era was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, slightly earlier than that of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Comparing this poem with the works of Cao Shi brothers, we can see that the story of Petunia and Weaver Girl was finalized from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei Dynasty. This poem is about a couple holding a cow and a weaver girl in the sky, but the point of view is on the ground, which is to observe the parting pain of their husband and wife with the eyes of a third party. The first two sentences are written in two places, saying that the cow is far away and the weaver girl is bright. Titiao and Jiao Jiao have different views on each other, so we can't be persistent. The morning glory is also bright, and the weaver girl is far away. They are all so far away and so bright. However, it is easy to think of a wanderer far away from home with a petunia belonging to a distant relative, and it is also easy to think of the beauty of a woman with a weaver girl belonging to a distant relative. In this case, it seems that they can no longer be interchanged. If it is intertextual, it will be changed to "Morning Glory, Far River Girl", and the interest will be reduced by half. The subtlety of poetic language can be seen here. The reason why the Weaver Girl is called "Hehan Girl" is to make up three syllables and avoid using "Weaver Girl" in three words. The former sentence uses "Altair" and the latter sentence uses "Vega", which is neither rhyming nor monotonous. Girl in the River is much more vivid. "Hehan Woman" refers to a woman on the edge of the Milky Way, which is more reminiscent of a real woman and ignores that she is a star. I don't know if the author took such pains when writing poems. Anyway, different writing methods have different artistic effects. In a word, the arrangement of the ten words "Altair, Jiao Jiao Hehan Girl" can be said to be the most ingenious arrangement and the most muddy effect.
