Secondly, "beauty" refers to one's ideal pursuit. The reason is that Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou at this time, and the possibility of realizing the ideal of saving the country by himself has become increasingly slim. Like a distant "beauty", the author feels sorry for her.
Thirdly, "beauty" refers to the monarch. The reason is that although Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou at this time, he was still "concerned about the country and the people" with a kind of "thank you sir". Use "beauty" to describe the emperor and "hope" to express loyalty to the emperor.
In Su Shi's Red Cliff Fu, when the host and guest looked at the hazy and elegant Jiang Yue and raised their glasses to recite the Book of Songs, Chen Chu, in their eyes, regarded the moon as a beautiful woman, and her style was affectionate, which made the host and guest happy. Immersed in the misty waves, I detained the boat and sang "I yearn for beauty, I hope the sky is far away." However, the moon is so elusive that both the host and the guests are sad because of it. It can be seen that it is this affectionate "beauty" that affects the feelings of the subject and object, and "beauty" carries the complex feelings of the author Su Shi.
"Beauty" is actually the author's loyalty to the monarch. The second paragraph of "Red Cliff Fu" has obvious traces of inheriting "Songs of the South", and almost all the lyrics quoted in it are from "Songs of the South". Su Shi definitely not only inherited Mr. Qu Lao's brushwork in form, but also had a deeper meaning. Qu Yuan's "faithfulness is in doubt, loyalty is slandered", and he was exiled without Chu Huaiwang's trust. Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou because of the Wutai Poetry Case, and his ambition was not paid, which shows how similar the experiences and fates of the wise men in the two eras are! Although Qu Yuan was exiled, he still did not forget to serve his country. Although Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou and lived a "wild life", he did not lose his loyalty to supporting the imperial court. This shows how similar the thoughts of the wise men of the two eras are! Therefore, in Fu on the Red Wall, the author expressed his loyalty to the monarch by remembering "beauty", and compared beauty with the monarch, writing Su Shi's ardent loyalty to the monarch.
At the same time, "beauty" also symbolizes the author's beautiful ideal.
Another meaning of the image of "beauty" in ancient poetry comes from the Book of Songs Qin Feng Jiajian: "Jiaxu is gray, and the Millennium is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the water side. Walking back and forth from here, the road is blocked and long. Back and forth from it, in the middle of the water ... ". The essence is the pursuit of ideals, unattainable. Dai Wangshu, a modern poet, revived the meaning of "beauty" with the help of "Lilac Girl" in his poem Rain Lane. The protagonist met the "Lilac Girl" in the search and missed it with a sigh. Is it not the persistent pursuit of a beautiful ideal, but also an outlet for his lost pursuit of ideals?
