The picture comes from the Internet, because it is impossible to describe the unattainable face in "Shuo Ren", only a back shadow picture is posted.
How beautiful is Jiangzhuang?
This sentence: "Hands are like soft, skin is like gelatin, collar is like cockroaches, teeth are like rhinoceros, mantis head moth eyebrows, smiles and smiles, beautiful eyes." "This is, the Book of Verses. Guofeng. A sentence in the "Shuoren" section of the Wei Feng is believed to be familiar to those who have never read the poetry, because most of the words that praise women's beauty in later generations have evolved from here. This poem has influenced eternity and is unparalleled.
So who is written in the poem? What is the background of the writing? Who is the author?
One spring day more than 700 years AGO, a luxurious convoy of married relatives returned from Linzi, the capital of the State of Qi, to the capital of the Wei Dynasty. The bride is the most beautiful princess of the State of Qi, and she is going to marry Ji Yang, the Duke of Weizhuang, who is known as Zhuang Jiang because of her maiden name Jiang.
Three or four days of travel, all the way is almost smooth, but the princess's heart is full of parting sorrows, and there are expectations for the new marriage. I heard that although Wei Guo was small, Ji Yang's father, Duke Wu of Wei, reigned for more than fifty years as the longest reigning monarch in the history of Wei Guo, he was sympathetic to the people, and he was a rare Ming Emperor in the chaotic world, and Ji Yang also stood out among many outstanding princes and won the throne.
In a trance, the convoy has entered the land of Weiguo, and the people of Weiguo are greeting this legendary beautiful woman in the middle of the road from the border to chaoge. Even an anonymous admirer wrote a masterpiece that praised a beautiful woman for a hundred generations----- "Shuo Ren".
This poem uses a very exaggerated and metaphorical technique, which makes people think of infinite imagination, even the limits of the beauty can not be imagined. So is Zhuang Jiang really that beautiful?
I think that beauty is naturally extremely beautiful, but in the end, it is this poem that pushes her to the highest point of beauty, and the essence should be that people are inferior to poetry. Princesses of the State of Qi; newlywed concubines; queens of wei; and both color and art; these shining points undoubtedly played a great role in the creation of this poem. Therefore, as the first female poet in China, we should be more concerned about the beauty of her poetry.
"Yan Yan", "Bai Zhou", "Green Clothes", "Sun and Moon", "Final Wind", which are included in the poetry book, which is not a popular song, sung for a thousand years. She turned her heart into words, her words were bloody, and she filled in the lines of joy and sorrow. These few short poems almost record her life from marriage; to being snubbed; being bullied; widowed; oppressed by power. She has the beginning of the wedding of the century, but she has a lonely and widowed ending, which is really breathtaking.
So how beautiful is Zhuang Jiang? Her human beauty exists in the unreal, and her literary beauty exists in the world, which is my understanding of the first female poet in history. Yes, just understanding, because I have no right to make an evaluation.
