Tang poems, Song ci and yuan qu are known as the three musketeers of classical Chinese literature, and their charm is radiant and popular, pouring out countless people who love them, and what is shared with you today is the yuan qu.
Yuanqu began in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan. It is another literary flourishing after Tang poetry and Song Ci, and has a unique literary charm, although it inherits the elegance and beauty of poetry, but the works describing love are more spicy and bold than poetry.
For example, the Yuan Dynasty composer, Yang Guo's two classic poems "Lotus Picking Girl", are so beautiful that they can be compared with Cao Zhi's "Beauty Chapter".

1. Composer Yang Guoqiren
Yang Guo, born and died in 1195-1269 AD, was a native of Anguo, Hebei.
His life went through two dynasties, in the Jin Dynasty, he studied and the first, the official to participate in the government affairs; after the death of Jin, he was recommended by a friend to become an official of the Yuan Dynasty.
In terms of literature, he wrote articles, good poetry, beautiful lyrics, rich literary style, and made good friends with yuanqu people. His compositions include eleven "Little Peach" songs and three "Lotus Picking Girl" songs. Today I share with you one or two of the songs of "Lotus Picking Girl".
Second, the same is the description of beauty, these two songs, not only comparable to Cao Zijian's "Beauty", and even have the suspicion of transcendence, please taste:
Song 1:
Lotus picking on the boat picks lotus petite, the crescent moon Lingbo small. Remember to meet the flowers, that enchanting, the cruel smile of a thousand gold. Shame flowers close the moon, sinking fish and falling geese, not to be ashamed but also to lose their souls.
The first sentence of this song, "Picking lotuses on the lotus boat, the crescent moon Lingbo is small" describes the beauty of the lotus picking women on the lotus picking boat in detail. This woman is extremely feminine, with thin eyebrows like a crescent moon, and a pair of feet as small and exquisite as Lingbo.
Then use the method of remembrance, "remember to meet the flowers and drink", recall the first encounter with the beauty, the first time to drink wine on the flowers, "that enchanting, the cruel person smiles a thousand gold", the image written is vivid, making this woman more beautiful and delicate.
The last three sentences, "Shame flowers close the moon, sink fish and fall geese, not to be ashamed of the soul", even with two idioms to write beauty, it seems to exhaust all the words that can best express the beauty of women, which shows the appearance of this woman's flowers and moons, which is soul-destroying.
At the same time, the author combines man and nature into one, reflecting each other, and a lifelike, beautiful and flexible lotus girl is presented to the eyes of the world.
Qu 2,
Lotus pickers sing lotus words, and Luopu is like a god, if it is stronger than a lotus flower. Those children, amorous and afraid of affairs. Light makeup thick wipe, light smile, end of the Sheng Xi Shi.
This song presents the reader with the image of a lotus-picking woman with a flower-like appearance. The first sentence, "The lotus picker sings the lotus word, and the Luopu immortal is like a lotus flower", depicts a picture like a fairyland: on the boat on the lake, a beautiful lotus girl with a beautiful figure and a shy face gently opens her lips and sings a small song from the center of the lake, beautiful as Roselle and like a lotus.
"Those children, amorous and afraid of affairs", she is very beautiful, soft and supple, and I am afraid that words cannot be described.
"Light makeup thick wipe, light smile, end of the Sheng Xi Shi", whether it is thick makeup and light makeup, are set off just right, whether it is a slight frown or a smile, are full of charm, souls, and the world-famous Xi Shi, it seems to be better than a few points.
These two pieces of music depict the two lotus-picking women as "Shy Flowers Close the Moon, Sinking Fish and Falling Geese", such as Roselle and Sheng Xishi. There is a suspicion of surpassing Cao Zhi's "Beauty Chapter", so how beautiful is Cao Zijian's beauty? Let's compare.
Poetry:
Beauty and idleness, picking mulberry between the wrong roads.
Soft strips are rising, and the leaves are falling.
See the sleeve of the plain hand, the wrist about the golden ring.
The head is golden, and the waist is covered with green and bright.
The pearl is crossed with jade body, and the wood between the corals is difficult.
Luo Yi he fluttered, lightly with the wind back.
Gu Pan left his glory and roared ruolan.
The walkers use their breath to drive, and the rest to forget their meals.
The woman was asked to settle down, but it was at the southern end of the city.
The Qinglou is adjacent to the main road, and the high gate is closed.
Rong Hua Yao Chaori, who does not want to ling Yan?
Where does the Mediator operate? The jade is safe from time to time.
Beauty Mu Gaoyi, seeking the virtuous and the difficult.
The crowd screamed in vain, and ann knew what he was looking at?
In the middle of the year, I sighed in the middle of the night.
The poem uses beautiful and concise words, portrays meticulously and vividly, creating a beautiful person with a gorgeous face and a quiet personality.
The poet Cao Zhi was the son of Emperor Cao Cao of Wei and the younger brother of Emperor Cao Pi of Wei. He has ideals in politics and is eager to make a difference, but under the persecution of his eldest brother Cao Pi's father and son, he can only live a life of "captivity". Therefore, in the case that Huai Cai could not be used, he could only ink on the end of the pen and wrote this "Beauty Chapter"
So Cao Zhi's "Beauty" or Yang Guo's "Lotus Picking Girl", which one depicts the beauty is more beautiful? Feel free to leave a message in the comment area.
