Analysis
This poem is basically considered to be a satirical poem about Wei Xuangong seizing his daughter-in-law. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi was a place with many beauties. Among them, Xuan Jiang was famous for her beauty. She married Ji Zi, the crown prince of Wei State. Ji Zi's father, Duke Xuang of Wei, heard that Xuan Jiang was very beautiful, so he married her. He took Ji Zi away, built a new platform on Qishui River, married Xuan Jiang, and made him his wife.
This poem satirizes Wei Xuangong’s ugliness in seizing his daughter-in-law. In the poem, the tall and bright new platform and the slowly flowing river reflect the ugliness of Wei Xuangong, and compare Wei Xuangong to an ugly toad. You can imagine that on the majestic, beautiful and bright new stage, a man like a toad is embracing a woman like an antenna. What an ironic scene.
The young and beautiful Xuan Jiang fantasized about pure love in the future and looked forward to a bright future. She thought she could marry a gentle and elegant gentleman, but she did not expect that she would be forcibly married to such a scoundrel man. . The repeated singing of the poem shows how ugly and disgusting the image of Wei Xuangong is.
Beautiful Xuan Jiang must be in so much pain!
