Bai Juyi can be said to be a genius in the literary world. When he was sixteen years old, he wrote such a popular poem as "Li Li Yuan Shang Cao". One sentence: "The wild fire cannot burn out, the spring breeze blows." You Sheng? has been passed down through the ages and has become an enlightenment poem for countless people. Such a man of God wrote a love poem when he was newly married, and it was also called the most beautiful love poem in the Tang Dynasty. However, after he wrote this poem, he was reviled by women all over the world. So why is this? Woolen cloth?
First, Bai Juyi did not get married until he was thirty-six years old, so it is inevitable that he will be confused.
Even in modern times, if you are not married after the age of thirty, you will gradually be gossiped about by others because you are too old after all. So in the ancient times of early marriage, if you got married at the age of thirty-six, you would be confused by many people, and you would inevitably have to endure some gossip. What's more, he only got married at the age of thirty-six, and the poems he wrote on the night of the wedding contained some machismo, so he was scolded by married women.
Second, his poem requires his wife to live a life of poverty.
You must know that the wedding night was originally a very festive day, but Bai Juyi did not think it through well. In his poem, he asked his wife to accompany him to live a life of poverty, but he had already struggled for three years. After sixteen years, why can't his wife enjoy the happiness with her? This is inevitably a bit chauvinistic, so it will arouse the dissatisfaction of married women and attract the reviling of others.
Third, he cited four examples in the poem to educate his wife.
What is even more inappropriate is that he cited four examples in succession in the poem that night to educate his wife, and these four examples were the wives of four sages in ancient times. What he meant It is to teach his wife to learn from them and learn to live a poor life. This is undoubtedly a lesson he taught his wife on the first day after her marriage. Such behavior is really inappropriate.
