Shan Gui is from the ninth song of Nine Songs. "Nine Songs" is a set of music songs offering sacrifices to gods, which is said to have been revised by Qu Yuan on the basis of folk music songs offering sacrifices to gods in Han nationality. There are many chapters describing the love life of ghosts and gods in Nine Songs, such as, Mrs. Xiang, Shao Siming and so on. Shan Gui, commonly known as the Mountain God, is still called "Shan Gui" because it has not been officially conferred by the Emperor of Heaven.
Shan Gui used Shan Gui's inner monologue to create a beautiful, frank and infatuated girl image. The plot of the whole poem is simple: the heroine and her lover agreed to meet at a place one day, and although the journey was difficult, she arrived happily, but her lover did not arrive as scheduled; When the storm came, she waited for her lover and forgot to go home, but her lover didn't come at last; It was getting late, and when she returned to her residence, she felt sad and sad in the storm and the singing of apes.
The whole poem is intertwined with fantasy and reality, full of romanticism.
The author combines man and God to create a beautiful image of Shan Gui: wearing Ficus pumila, Luo Nv, Shi Lan and Du Heng, sitting in a Xinyi car pulled by a red leopard, with a flag woven by cassia twig and a patterned flower cat beside her ... Her clothing, food, shelter and transportation are full of strong divinity and wildness, which is consistent with Shan Gui's identity. However, Shan Gui's appearance, posture and emotional changes are all manifestations of normal people. She lamented that youth can't last forever, expecting her lover to come early, and she would feel sad and lonely if she didn't come ... This image creation of the unity of God and man is a consistent method in Qu Yuan's poems.
