Appreciation of The Book of Songs Feng Wei Meng
Dream is a lyric narrative poem. Through a divorced woman's self-report, it describes enthusiastically and vividly the process of her love, marriage, abuse and abandonment with Mongolia, expresses her attitude of regret and rejection, and profoundly reflects the phenomenon that women in ancient society were oppressed and damaged in love and marriage. Before marriage, she bravely broke through the shackles of etiquette and resolutely lived with Meng, which was commendable at that time. It stands to reason that married life should be harmonious and beautiful. However, contrary to expectations, in order to protect herself, she was used like an ox or a horse, even beaten and abandoned. Why? It was because women had no status in society and family at that time, but were only vassals of their husbands. This political and economic inequality determines the inequality between men and women in marriage, which enables Mongolians to play with and abuse women at will with impunity, and have the right to abandon their wives and dissolve their engagement. The word "from chaos to abandonment" can summarize the evil behavior of self-protection to women. Therefore, although she bravely broke through the feudal shackles, she ended up with the fate of a woman who resigned under the pressure of her parents' orders and matchmakers' words. "The scholar's anxiety can still be said;" Don't tell me about your daughter's worry! "The poet's complaints about the injustice of this society have deepened the ideological significance of this poem. The tragic experience of the heroine in the poem can be said to be the epitome of Qian Qian's female fate which was absolutely oppressed and hurt in the class society, so it can win the admiration of later readers.
The structure of the poem "Dream" accords with its story, and also with the passionate and ups-and-downs emotion when the author narrates it. This poem consists of six chapters, each with ten sentences. The first and second chapters are retrospection. In the first chapter, I stated that I was determined by my first love. The second chapter describes that he fell in love, broke through the shackles of the matchmaker's words and married Meng. When the poet narrates here, his emotions are extremely passionate, and his grief and remorse are intertwined, interrupting the narrative. In the third chapter, she tells a group of innocent and beautiful young girls, tells them not to indulge in love, and points out the inequality between men and women. The fourth chapter expresses the ungrateful resentment of self-protection. She pointed out that this is not the fault of women, but the capriciousness of self-protection. The fifth chapter, followed by a narrative, describes her labor and abuse after marriage, as well as her brother's ridicule and self-injury. The sixth chapter describes the love in childhood and the deviation today, denounces the hypocrisy and deception of self-protection, and firmly expresses the feelings of self-protection. These are the reappearance of the author's experience, inner activities and emotional changes, and the structure is rigorous, forming an eternal and moving poem.
