In the "Shangxie" of the Han Dynasty, there are five hypotheses in one theory. In other words, only if these five hypothetical situations arise, can we dare to break up with you. These five assumptions are simply impossible. Therefore, it is impossible for the woman in the poem to sever her relationship with her lover.
Today, I will analyze these five hypothetical situations and appreciate the charm of this poem together.

Shangxie Anonymous? [Han Dynasty]
Shangxie! I want to know you and live a long life.
The mountains have no mausoleums, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunders tremble, the summer rains and snows, the heaven and the earth are united, so I dare to be with you.
"Shangxie" belongs to the "Eighteen Songs of Cymbals" and should be a type of Yuefu's "Advocacy Songs". According to the "Poetry Appreciation Dictionary of Han, Wei and Six Dynasties", "Shangxie" is a heartfelt vow made after determination to get to know the king. It expresses a firm heart and expresses the author's persistent attitude towards love. This poem is full of romanticism, and a loyal woman who is sincere, passionate, and obsessed with love comes to life on the page.
In ancient times, xie was a particle, which is equivalent to what people often use in modern times. It is used at the end of sentences to strengthen the tone. The uniqueness of this poem is that it does not have the sentimentality and implicit sadness of ordinary love poems. The way of writing that speaks directly from the heart is refreshing.

"Shangxie! I want to know you and live forever." This first sentence expresses the woman's steadfast attitude and unswerving determination in the poem. . Her voice brings deep feelings to readers. You see, this infatuated woman bravely said what was in her heart: God! If I fall in love with you, it will never change and will be as eternal as life.
Ming is a pseudonym, here it should be Ling, which means no attenuation and no breakage. We can use more popular language to understand that the passage of time will not make our feelings fade, and we will never be separated from you no matter when. This should be what she wanted to express.
Next, the poet proceeds step by step and writes five impossible natural phenomena to set off the woman's determination. "There are no mountains, no mausoleums, no rivers, no thunder in winter, rain and snow in summer, heaven and earth come together." This majestic momentum is hearty and enlightening to read. Look, how can a mountain be flat? How could the river dry up? How can there be thunder in winter? How can it snow in summer? How can heaven and earth come together?
The poet uses extraordinary imagination to write the woman's vows. Only the mountains are flat, the rivers are drying up, thunderstorms appear in winter, snowflakes fly in summer, and heaven and earth become one. , I will sever ties with you. In fact, the hidden meaning behind it is that a woman will love her lover forever and never change her heart. How can such a strong woman not be impressive?
Hu Yinglin commented on this poem and said: "The most evil romance, the best short chapter!" Wang Xianqian, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, also said, "If all five are necessary, I can't do it. You are wise." We often say that paper is short but love is long, and this poem is the best example. The shocking truth is hidden between the lines.
This unparalleled way of expressing love in ancient and modern times can be said to be a masterpiece. The heroine in the poem confesses her heart in the form of an oath, and uses impossible natural phenomena to prove her loyalty to love, which indeed has a strong subjective color. Short love, long life, shocking.
