Su Shi is a poem that overturns your stereotype of the relationship between men and women in ancient times

Folks, when we talk about ancient men and women, the first words that jump into our minds are these.

The gate does not go out, the second door does not step, three inches of golden lotus, what's more, the arm was accidentally touched by a man, it was cut off, and it was also commended as a martyr, and a torii arch was set up for everyone to learn.

As a decent man, you should ignore it, don't listen to it, and men and women should not be intimate.

Even if it is a husband and wife, there must be a sense of distance and must not be too intimate.

However, when I saw a poem today, I found that these, in Su Shi's time, were all floating clouds.

In February of the sixth year of Xining (1073), Su Shi went to the county to run errands, first passing through xincheng and then diving.

At this time, the early spring weather, warm and cold, the people took advantage of the good spring light, working in the fields, a harmonious scene, so that Su Shishi flourished.

He wrote:

The green skirt is draped in the diver's daughter, and the feet are like frost and do not wear ass.

Silky sideburns are worn through the clover, and the wind and rain are walking in front of the barrier.

The makeup of the old palace has been passed down from father to ancestor, and the remnants of the people have died tragically.

The willows of the Amaranth Creek first flew, and the thrush of the River crossed the creek.

Feng Lang Qiao returned to Xiang Fei and did not believe that Ji Jiang had Qilu.

The girl is wearing no shoes, pulling on the hem of her pants, her hair is fluffy, and she is by the stream, using water as a mirror, dressing up.

Washing her face and drawing her eyebrows, she braced her boat and crossed the river.

Su Shi's gaze unconsciously followed her, but he saw a young man on the other side, carrying a burden, returning from collecting firewood, and saw that his wife was waiting for him, looking forward to being separated, charming.

We reasonably speculate that at that time, the sister took out a silk scarf, dried the sweat of the lover, and made every move, smiled, and had a variety of styles.

The young man put the early flowers picked from the mountain obliquely into his lover's shiny hair, and said, I have saved some money, and after a while I will take you to the big city of Hangzhou, shop, and tour the West Lake.

Su Shi sighed, they are so happy, the lover's eyes out of the West, and then there are beautiful women coming, he will disdain it.

After reading this poem, did it change the stereotype of many friends?

It turned out that the people of Su Shi's time were not much different from those we are now.

Male and female love, in the village husband and village woman, naturally revealed, without the slightest twisting attitude.

Su Shi was a Confucian scholar, but he observed all this with a pure heart, and he did not set limits on himself at all, so how could he put his attention on the legs of other girls? Writing it out in the world, will people think that I Su Shi is a disciple of Deng...

Unfortunately, when Su Shi wrote these poems quite easily, some schools of thought that human nature should be more strictly regulated were also emerging, and in the course of their hundreds of years of development, they were becoming more and more moralized, putting forward higher requirements for people, especially women, and making life more and more boring.

Therefore, when we read ancient books, the older those will make us more kind, because the concepts at that time are closer to the present.
