Nine Songs Lady Xiang is the work of Qu Yuan, a great poet of Chu in the Warring States Period.
Excerpt from the original:
Di Zi fell on Zhu Bei, and his eyes were pitiful. Autumn wind blows gently, and Dongting waves under the leaves.
Celebrate the wedding day by boasting a white cup. What are the birds and trees in the apple?
Translation:
Mrs Xiang landed in Zhou Bei. She looked far away, which disappointed me. The trees shook gently, the autumn wind began to cool, and the Dongting waves beat the shore, and the leaves fell.
Standing on a white cup and looking around, I met a beautiful woman tonight. Why do birds gather in the water plants? Why is the fishing net hanging on the treetops?
This poem is written in the style of missing Mrs. Xiang, depicting the melancholy mood of longing and praying for the future, but not seeing it.
The whole poem is lovesick, lyrical and touching; In addition, the works absorbed the straightforward lyrical way of folk love songs and used the traditional method of comparison, which strengthened its artistic appeal and had a great influence on later literary creation.
Nine Songs of Mrs. Xiang is one of the eleven songs of Chu, a poem dedicated to the goddess of Xiang water, and a companion to Nine Songs of Xiang Jun..
Although the title of the poem is "Mrs. Xiang", the hero in the poem is Xiang Jun, and the theme of this poem is mainly to describe the life and death of the two lovers, who never meet each other.
Works always take waiting for someone to come as a clue, expressing deep resentment to each other in frustration, but the love between them is consistent. The whole poem is sung by the actor of the male god, expressing the arrival of the appointment, but not seeing Mrs. Xiang's melancholy and confusion.
If these two songs are put together, then the story written in this "Mrs. Xiang" happened when Mrs. Xiang was waiting for the arrival of Xiang Jun, leaving Xiangpu in the north and turning to Dongting. Therefore, when Xiang Jun, who arrived that night, arrived at Zhu Bei, the appointment place, it was naturally difficult to meet his sweetheart. The work was written from this, which closely cooperated with the plot of Xiang Army.
