"Beauty" is actually the author's loyalty to the monarch. The second paragraph of "Red Cliff Fu" has obvious traces of inheriting "Chu Ci", and almost all the lyrics quoted in it are from "Chu Ci". Su Shi definitely not only inherited Mr. Qu Lao's brushwork in form, but also had a deeper meaning. Qu Yuan was "disbelieved, loyal and slandered" and was exiled because he could not gain the trust of Chu Huaiwang. 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 with "beauty", he wrote 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. Tracing back and forth, the road is blocked and long. Swim back from it, in the middle of the water Dai Wangshu, a modern poet, revived the meaning of "beauty" with "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?
