Poetic nature of erotic poems

In Yuefu poems in the Southern Dynasties, there have been short songs that openly chant and praise the sex of men and women. Such as "Jasper Song": "Jasper broke the melon, Lang was turned upside down, not ashamed of Lang, turned and hugged Lang." "Midnight Song": "I feel sorry for not combing my hair at night and wearing my shoulders." Songs at Four o'clock in the Midnight: "Open the window in the moonlight in autumn, put out the candle to untie the skirt, smile and hang the orchid" and so on. Since then, similar folk songs can be seen in Dunhuang Quzi Ci. At the end of Ming dynasty, the collection and editing of folk erotic poems reached a climax. Feng Menglong edited a collection of popular folk songs at that time, such as Guizhi Er, Folk Songs and Oleander. , have been popular for a period of time, are collecting folk erotic poems in southern Wu language areas. These folk ditties are more frank and explicit in singing and describing the sexual love between men and women than the folk songs of the Southern Dynasties, and are highly valued by Zheng Zhenduo and other researchers in the history of folk literature. In the Qing Dynasty, some people collected and adapted folk love songs in Houya, such as Hua Guangsheng's The Legacy of Snow. Monarchs and ministers in the Southern Dynasties lived a drunken life and indulged in debauchery in Jiangzuo, and began to write erotic poems belonging to literati. Under the poem titles of "Pay tribute to Liu Changshi's celebrity's blessing on the beautiful city" and "My wife's blessing on sleeping in the daytime", the beauty is described by poems such as "When you make a guest appearance, you can't see the truth clearly" and "When you dream, your eyes will crush flowers, your fingers will grow into jade wrists, and your sweat will be soaked in red gauze". In the highly open Tang Dynasty, sex is naturally not. From Li Bai's poem "Farewell", "Put out the candle and undress when you meet", "What can you do when you are drunk at the hawksbill banquet?" And "How charming we are, how sweaty we are, how green we are when we can't move our wrists casually" in Yuan Zhen's poem. During the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, Ci became the main form for literati to create erotic poems. Another variation of erotic poetry is to write the poem as a riddle about sexual organs or sexual intercourse. This form may have developed from the argot "sex". Folk erotic poems like to use this form, and you can see a lot of examples in folk songs and other folk songs. This form is sometimes used in literati's erotic poems, such as some poems in Zhang Wencheng's famous "Wandering Fairy Cave" in Tang Dynasty. "Mysterious poems about sex" are usually very popular and easy to understand, which makes people know at a glance that the theme of chanting is "sex".
