During the Spring and Autumn Period, Weiguo, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, was a medium-sized vassal state at that time, and the first city was Song of Shang Dynasty. In her girlhood, Mrs. Xu Mu was deeply worried about the security of the motherland and thought about how to make her due contribution to defending the country. At that time, political intermarriage prevailed among vassal States, and Mrs. Xu Mu was very beautiful. Both Xu and Qi vassal states sent envoys to propose marriage. A generous gift touched her and her parents decided to marry her to Xu.
In 660 BC, the Northern Emperor invaded Wei, and her wife was deeply saddened to hear the news of the demise of the motherland. She resolutely rushed to Cao and returned. She wanted to control the country and save Wei. On the way, her wife was very angry after being recovered by the doctor in Guo Xu. She wrote a poem "In One", denouncing petty officials and vulgar officials in Guo Xu, expressing a woman's firm belief in loving and saving the motherland. When Qi Huangong got the news, he immediately sent his son to rescue Weiguo, and there was no loss, so that Weiguo avoided a disaster. Since then, the country has revived. This poem was later recorded in the Book of Songs. This is a famous patriotic poem in the history of China, which is more than 300 years earlier than Qu Yuan's Li Sao.
Mrs. Xu Mu's poems are full of strong patriotic thoughts and feelings. What we can read now is China's first book of poetry, The Book of Songs, which contains three chapters and twelve articles, such as Bamboo Rod, Spring Water and Zaichi. The poem Bamboo Pole describes the nostalgic life of Mrs. Xu Mu in her girlhood and her homesickness in a foreign country, but she often misses the country where her parents were raised. "Spring Water" describes Mrs. Wang's activities and worries about saving the motherland. "In One" expresses my wife's desire to return to China and finally break through the resistance to return to the motherland. The poem highlights her struggle with the monarchs and ministers who prevented her from returning to China to fight against the invasion of Di Bing, and expresses her determination to save the motherland regardless of her personal safety. Between the lines of these poems, there are deep patriotic thoughts and feelings, and today we still shock our hearts and can't put it down.
