In the writings of ancient literati, the beauty of Jiangnan was always full of mystery and allure. And Tang Wan, a talented woman who lived in the Southern Song Dynasty, depicted the unique charm of Jiangnan from her unique perspective.
Let's take a look at Tang Wan's depiction of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. In her poems, she often uses images such as "smoke and water", "reed flowers" and "fishing boats", which are deeply imprinted with the characteristics of Jiangnan. She once wrote: "A new song and a glass of wine, last year's weather old pavilion." The "new words" and "old pavilions" in this poem make people think of that poetic world.
In addition, Tang Wan is also good at using delicate emotions to portray the character characteristics of characters. For example, in the poem "Hairpin Phoenix", she uses her own personal experience as the background, and vividly shows her deep pain and helplessness through the poem "There is no way to eliminate this feeling, only to lower her eyebrows but go to her heart".
Tang Wan's life course also reflects the various contradictions and conflicts in society at that time. As a woman, she suffered all kinds of setbacks in her married life, but she did not choose to succumb to fate, but bravely asserted herself and pursued freedom and equality. This kind of perseverance is undoubtedly a challenge to traditional concepts.
Tang Wan's works not only reflect the natural scenery and humanistic atmosphere of Jiangnan, but also reveal the true side of human nature and the problems of society. Her poetry is not only a literary work of art, but also a carrier of historical memory and culture. Therefore, whether in the past or now, Tang Wan is a figure worthy of our in-depth study.
