When it comes to Chinese poetry culture, it is really a splendid and colorful epic. Since the heyday of poetry in the Tang Dynasty, countless talented and beautiful women have used poetry as a medium to express their emotions and left countless famous sentences that are popular through the ages. The stories behind these poems, whether sad or joyful, or ambitious, or tender like water, are like fresh lives, jumping on the page.
These poets, both male and female, put their emotions into every word, expressing their inner world in a unique language. They are either subtle and introverted, or straightforward, all of which make us feel deeply affectionate and as if we are in the scene.
In ancient China, women were amorous, and they used delicate brushstrokes to depict their persistence and perseverance in love. For example, Zhuo Wenjun in the Han Dynasty, her sentence "I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated", expresses her unswerving loyalty to love; and like Li Qingzhao's poem "This love can not be eliminated, only then do I lower my brows, and then go to my heart", with an irresistible mood of sorrow, aroused our endless resonance. There is also Cai Wenji's "Caring for the Broken Feelings, and the Heart Comes Back to Life", she depicts the joys and sorrows of life with poignant brushstrokes, and the world is hot and cold.
And today, the protagonist we want to talk about is a talented woman in the Tang Dynasty - Xue Tao. Her life is full of legends, and her poetic talent is even more impressive. Her poems, like her life, are full of stories and emotions that people can't help but be moved by while savoring them.
Xue Tao was born from a humble but talented poetic background, and his early poems were like stars, illuminating the night sky of the Tang Dynasty's literary circle, winning high praise from literati and scholars, and his reputation soared. The talented son Yuanzhi was deeply attracted by Xue Tao's talent, and the two fell in love and talked about a love across the age gap. In today's context, they are the legendary "sister and brother love".
They have spent a dreamlike love time together, and they have made a lifelong covenant to each other, like a beautiful picture, making people think that this is the most touching love story in the world. However, fate played a cruel joke on them. Yuan Zhi left Sichuan, and Xue Tao spent countless springs, summers, autumns and winters in a long wait, and the flowers bloomed. In her heart, the enthusiasm that once burned seemed to be eroded by time and gradually cooled.
Disappointment and despair finally turned into tears at the tip of Xue Tao's pen. She was heartbroken, and in a fit of anger, she splashed ink and wrote the poem that has been passed down through the ages. Her poems, like her love, are poignant and deep, which has moved countless people in later generations. And Xue Tao's name has also been recorded in history forever because of this poem and has been passed down to this day.
The flowers bloom differently, and the flowers fall differently. If you want to ask about the lovesickness, when the flowers bloom and fall. The grass knot is concentric, and it will be a bosom friend. Spring sorrow is being cut off, and the spring bird is mourning again. The wind and flowers will be old, and the good time is still slim. Don't tie the same heart, empty knot the same heart. It is full of flowers and branches, turning into two loves. The jade chopsticks hang down to the mirror, and the spring breeze does not know.
The poem begins with a swan song for the ages, affectionately depicting the ardent anticipation of a talented woman for the return of her talent. She bloomed like a flower, but she could only admire the beauty of the bloom alone, and the petals gently fell, and she savored the sorrow in loneliness. Yuan Zhen, where are you? Your figure lingers in her thoughts all the time. Her mood is like a flower blooming and falling, and the sorrowful song of the spring bird seems to tell her lovesickness.
Time flies, her face quietly ages in time, and the days of reunion with you are still like a landscape in the fog, out of reach. She looked in the mirror and gently told her feelings, hoping that the spring breeze could take away this deep longing and send it to your ears.
Yuan Zhen's wife is Wei Cong, and the relationship between them may be even deeper. And Xue Tao, one of her hearts, is completely tied to Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen's love for Xue Tao may be rational and moderate, but Xue Tao's love is unreserved and wholehearted.
Ten years passed in a hurry, and Yiyuan suddenly remembered Xue Tao and decided to return to Sichuan to meet her. However, there are always unsatisfactory things in life, and he met another talented woman on the way - Liu Caichun. Yuan Zhen's heart was attracted again, and he forgot the original intention of this trip.
And Xue Tao was in that distant place, looking forward to it, and waited all his life, but he couldn't wait for Yuan Zhen's figure after all. She died alone, leaving behind a lifetime of emotion and sadness.
