Synopsis: The story takes place in the Jian'an period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The girl Liu Lanzhi has been a female celebrity since she was a child.

He is good at playing the piano and can recite poetry and books. At the age of seventeen, she married Jiao Zhongqing as her wife, worked hard day and night, and was diligent in housework, but she was not tolerated by her mother-in-law, so she wrote to her husband, who was working as a small official in Lujiang County Government, telling her unbearable suffering. Zhong Qing came back to intercede for his wife, but was reprimanded by his mother and ordered her to divorce her and marry another.

Zhong Qing knelt down and said, "If you send this woman today, you will never marry again." ”

The mother was furious. Because he still had to rush back to the county government to take office, Zhong Qing had to ask his wife to go back to her parents' house first and take refuge for a while. Laneige naturally understood that such a farewell was like abandonment, and it would be difficult to see each other again in the future, so he left his commonly used sachets, makeup and other items to Zhong Qing as a souvenir.

After the rooster crowed at dawn, Laneige carefully groomed herself, said goodbye to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and boarded the car in tears. At this time, Zhong Qing was already waiting on the side of the avenue, and the husband and wife met. The two of them attached each other, bowed their heads and whispered: "Swear that the sky will not be disappointed." ”

Liu Lanzhi was sent home for more than ten days, and the county order immediately sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to his son, but Lanzhi politely refused; A few days later, Taishou also asked the county to come to the door to propose, and clearly said that the five sons of Taishou had not yet married, and they were willing to marry the Liu family for a hundred years, but they were refused. This has annoyed Laneige's temperamental thunderstorm.

The big brother. The brother's fate was difficult to disobey, and Laneige was forced to do everything, so he had to arrange everything. The matchmaker over there reported that the Liu family had agreed to the marriage. Just three days later, it was an auspicious day, and Taishou immediately sent people around to prepare a golden silk dowry.

People and horses and boats in order to get married as soon as possible. Zhong Qing heard of this change when he was in office, and hurriedly begged for leave.

China's first full-length narrative poem was "Peacock Reads the Orange Flying South".

Peacock Flying Southeast" is also a peak work in the history of the development of Yuefu poetry. The story takes place in "Jian'an in the late Han Dynasty". In terms of the marriage system, there are clear rules and precepts such as "seven outs" and "parents who are all in the world".

There are no parents in the world". Under such circumstances, Jiao Zhongqing dared to stand on Liu Lanzhi's side, showing a resolute attitude of "sharing the same pillow with Laneige, and Huangquan as friends".

The organization of the plot of "Peacock Flying Southeast" adopts the method of alternating two-line advancement. Among them, a clue is composed of the relationship between Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing; Another thread is the relationship between Liu Jiao and his wife and Jiao's mother, Brother Liu, which dominates the poem.

Appreciation of "Peacock Flying Southeast":

The story of "Peacock Flying Southeast" is simple and well-cut, and the characters are vividly portrayed, which not only creates the image of Jiao Liu and his wife who are heart-to-heart and unyielding, but also portrays the stubbornness of Jiao's mother and the arrogance of Brother Liu. At the end of the chapter, the myth of Liu Lanzhi and Qingtuan Jiao Zhongqing both turning into mandarin ducks after their deaths is conceived, and the strong desire of the people to pursue freedom of love and a happy life is entrusted.

The whole poem uses a five-word narrative to tell the story of a marriage tragedy in the Eastern Han Dynasty about Liu Lanzhi marrying Jiao Zhongqing, although the two were deeply affectionate, but they were forced to separate because they were not treated by their mother-in-law. The reason for this marital tragedy is ostensibly due to the disharmony between Liu Lanzhi and Jiao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The longest ancient poem in China is Qu Yuan (pre-Qin), the author of Lisao.

1. Chapter 1 (degraded) 53 lines: The poet writes from his own family history and birth, reviews his own efforts, pursuits, struggles and failures in his life, and expresses his unswerving spirit and unrepentant attitude with grief and indignation.

2. Chapter 2 (Reflection) 38 lines; Then faced with his own failures, he had a deep reflection. After all, the fiasco is an indisputable fact.

Therefore, the poet starts with "the path seems to be unclear", and first expresses his reflection with "retreating and trimming his clothes", but only in this way lacks waves and is difficult to penetrate, so he uses the character of "Sister Jia" to blame and persuade from the opposite side, so as to force out the section of "looking for Emperor Shun to comment", which not only deepens the reflection, but also strengthens the emotion.

Even the "sister" who has the closest friendship and cares most about himself scolds and persuades him like this, who else in the world can understand himself? In a fit of anger, he "went to Emperor Shun to comment". As a result of reflection, I strengthened my ideals and beliefs.

3. Chapter 3 (Try Again) Line 38: I actively re-searched, but after searching up and down, there was no result. The poet writes about his own "careful wayfinding". This is a renewed effort after being slandered, but whether it is knocking on the "gate of heaven" or "asking for beautiful women", it ends in failure.

4. Chapter 4 (Wandering) Line 38: The poet is again in distress and wandering. After a hard search and a failure, where do we go?

The poet was helpless, so he "took Qiong Mao to divination" and asked Lingqi to calculate for him to resolve doubts. The result of the spiritual atmosphere divination is that you must travel far away from the Chu State to have a way out.

After some consideration, still hesitated. So he asked the sorcerer to séance for advice. After repeated careful thinking, he finally decided to "travel far away" and leave Chu to travel.

5. Chapter 5 (He Votes) 21 lines; After careful consideration, the poet ended his wandering, recognized the "auspicious hexagram" of the spiritual atmosphere, and chose the "auspicious day" to set off.

But the longing trip was still given up halfway because of "favoring the Chu State": "bending back and stopping". As a result, he could only choose to die and die for the country, "Follow Peng Xian back!" ”
