The female figure in the love poems of the Book of Poetry

The first thing that makes people appreciate the female image in the love poems of the Book of Songs is the beauty of the form behind the charming love.

1) A strong and natural body.

In terms of aesthetics, beauty is interpreted as "sheep are beautiful" and "sheep are beautiful". In the era of the Book of Poetry, "big" and "tall" were mostly beautiful, that is, "huge is beautiful", and the kind of huge and stubborn female beauty was advocated in the form, which had formed an aesthetic concept at that time. For example, the first sentence of "Weifeng Shuoren" is "Shuoren Qiqi", in which "Shuoren" is explained in "Shaofeng Jianxi", and he is tall.

颀", long appearance. "Qi Feng Yi Xi" has the sentence "long and long", which is that in ancient times, both men and women, were tall and slender for their beauty. It can be seen that although "Weifeng Shuoren" is not a love poem, the women at that time were beautiful because of their tall figures.

Of course, there is also a love poem "Chen Feng Moonrise" that describes the slender figure of a woman: the "Slender Correction" in the sentence "Shu Jiao Tang" is to describe the appearance of a woman's slender body.

In addition to the above two overall descriptions of the beauty of form, there are many other poems in the Book of Songs that write a single part to express the beauty of women. For example, in "Zheng Feng and Wild Vines", the "Qingyang" in "Qingyang Wanxi" and "Just like Qingyang" express the beauty of women's eyes, the meaning of clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the side highlights the beauty of women's beauty. In "Xiao Ya Du People", the beauty of women's hair is described as "silk straight as hair", "curly hair is like a hair", "hair is thick", the hair is dense and straight, the sideburns are slightly curly and lightly, and the natural and healthy beauty of women's hair is also written.

Zheng Feng has a lesbian car" in "Yan Ru Shunhua" describes the delicate face of a woman, and there are poems that summarize the beauty of women's physical beauty in a single word, such as "Miao", "Shu", "娈" and "Beauty" are respectively found in poems such as "Guan Ju", "Jing Nu" and "Sangzhong", which are conveyed through the mouth of men, all of which indicate the beauty of women.

2) Smart and graceful posture.

The appearance and demeanor in the love poems of the Book of Poetry have expressive finishing touches in the description, which not only highlights the agility of organs or movements, but also shows the aesthetic standards and aesthetic pursuits of the Book of Poetry era, such as the opening work of the Book of Songs, "Zhou Nan Guan Ju" in the girl picking the "flow" in the "left and right flow" of the collection of vegetables, Zhu Xiyun: "Flow, follow the flow of the water and take it." It can be seen that the graceful posture of the girl when she picks the wattle attracts the singer's mind.

Another example is the "Wan" in "Zheng Feng, Wild Vines" "There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful", the charming appearance depicts a girl with bright eyes and a god. Another example is the "soup" in "Zi no Tang Xi" in "Chen Feng Wanqiu", the swaying appearance of the dance, just one word conveys the graceful dance posture of the witch when she dances, giving people unlimited space for reverie.
