"Shang Mo Sang" is a famous folk song of Han Yuefu in China and a comic folk narrative poem of Han nationality. A "trip to the Louvre in Yan Ge" can be found in the Song Dynasty's Records of Le Shu. Also known as "sunrise in the southeast corner", it is found in Xu Ling's "New Ode to Yutai" in the Southern Dynasties.
Shang Mo Sang belongs to Xiang He Ge Ci, which describes the beauty and integrity of Qin Luofu, a mulberry picker, and reflects the social system of Han Dynasty's satrap's spring and autumn tour to persuade farmers to teach mulberry. It was first recorded in the Book of Songs in the Song Dynasty, and it was named "A Trip to Luo Fu, Yan Ge", and it was named "Sunrise in the Southeast Corner" in "A New Ode to Yutai". This poem has always been misunderstood as the satrap molesting Luo Fu, but it was rejected by Luo Fu righteously. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. This poem is actually a microcosm of the social system of the Han Dynasty. As the highest local governor, Taishou visited the main county in the spring and persuaded the people to farm mulberry, which failed to save. As can be seen from the poem, Qin Luofu is obviously a lady image, and the satrap ignores the irrationality of etiquette because of his beauty. Luo Fu clearly pointed out that she was a great woman who showed noble morality and understood manners.
Peacock Flying Southeast is the first narrative poem in the history of China literature, and it is also the pinnacle of Yuefu poetry. Later generations praised it as a "double wall of Yuefu" with the same reputation as Mulan's poems in the Northern Dynasties.
Peacock Flying Southeast is based on a marriage tragedy in Lujiang County during the reign of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The original title was "Ancient Poems for Jiao Zhongqing's Wife", and it was named because the first sentence of the poem was "Peacock flies southeast and wanders in five miles". The whole poem has more than 350 sentences, 1700 words. It mainly tells the story of being forced to separate and both committed suicide, accusing the ruthlessness of feudal ethics and praising Jiao and Liu's sincere feelings and rebellious spirit.
As the longest narrative poem in ancient history, "Peacock Flying Southeast" is concise, ingenious and vivid, which not only shapes the image of Liu Jiao and his wife as soul mates and unyielding, but also vividly depicts Jiao Mu's stubbornness and Liu Xiong's insolence. At last, the article conceives the myth that Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing both became mandarin ducks after their death, which places people's strong desire for love freedom and happy life.
