Appreciation
Regarding the main theme of this poem, the Preface to Mao's Poems yun: "Min Zhuang Jiang Ye." Duke Zhuang was confused by his concubines and made him arrogant. Zhuang Jiangxian did not answer, and eventually became childless, and the people of the country were worried. But Wang Xianqian believes that the nobleness of the Zhuang Jiang clan, the beauty of Rong Yi, the preparation of the car clothes, and the prosperity of the concubine described in the poem are obviously the situation when Zhuang Jiang first married, how can he think of the childless thing at this time? Therefore, the interpretation of the Preface to Mao's Poems is wrong. Wang Xianqian quoted the "Lu Shi Shu" to believe that Zhuang Jiang had a good face, and when he first married to Weiguo, he "behaved in a decadent manner, had a virtuous deed, and had an adulterous heart", and her fu mother admonished her: "The son's family is honored in the world, and should be the law of the people; the quality of the son is wise, and it should be a human form; the appearance is magnificent, and it is necessary to repair itself." Clothing, decorated on a horse, is not a noble virtue also. So Fu Mu wrote this poem as an exhortation. Zhuang Jiang was then touched and paid attention to self-cultivation. It can be seen from this that Zhuang Jiang's fu mother is also a person who can prevent problems before they occur.
The first chapter of the poem tirelessly explains Zhuang Jiang's family lineage, thus highlighting Zhuang Jiang's noble origins. It is precisely because of his noble birth that he should improve his moral conduct and set an example for ordinary people. The first five sentences of the second chapter use six metaphors in a row to describe the beauty of Zhuang Jiang. The next two sentences, "Smile smartly, look forward to beauty", and push the praise of Zhuang Jiang's beauty to the extreme. Fang Yurun's "Primitive Poetry Classic" Yun: "Those who praise beauty throughout the ages have no words 'smiling and smiling, beautiful eyes and looking forward to it'." Sun Liankui's "Poetry Conjecture" Yun: "The Yong Shuo people of the Wei Feng, known as 'hands like soft hands' clouds, are like things compared to things, and they have not seen their gods." To the point of 'smiling and smiling, beautiful eyes looking forward to xi', then the divine portrayal is being blocked, and a unique beauty is invited out alive and swaying in the books. A thousand years down, as if you saw its smile. The beauty of these two sentences lies in the appearance of writing a beautiful person. It is precisely because of the prominence of Zhuang Jiang's family lineage and the beauty of his appearance that he is worthy of the grandeur of Wei Zhuanggong. Therefore, the third chapter is written about the grand scene when Wei Zhuanggong greeted his relatives. The last chapter, in conjunction with the third chapter, describes the concubines of the State of Qi and the grandeur of the Qi State's scholars. The poet's means are very clever, and in the poem, she does not directly exhort Xuanjiang to be clean and self-respecting, but only describes her prominent family lineage, the beauty of her appearance, and the magnificence of the team she greeted when she was married, thus implying that she should use beautiful virtues to be worthy of your nobility.
Yao Jiheng's "General Theory of poetry" Yun: "Those who praise beauty throughout the ages, there is no one who is unsurpassed, it is for the absolute singing." Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also reflects the admiration of this poem by later generations of literati scholars. (Liu Yong)
