This ancient Yuefu poem "A Journey to a Sick Woman" belongs to "Harmony Songs and Tones". Through the family tragedy of a sick woman, this poem depicts the miserable life of the working people in the Han Dynasty struggling on the brink of death under cruel exploitation and oppression.
The poem "The Song of Complaints" uses a fan as a metaphor for a woman. Fans "go in and out" when they need it, and "give up" when they don't. In the past, many women were in the position of being played. Their fate depends on men's likes and dislikes, and they may be abandoned at any time, just like fans.
