Today is the annual International Women's Day, which we universally call "Goddess Day", and first wishes our vast female compatriots a happy holiday, family and beauty. In this festival dedicated to women, we will enjoy the ten poems of ten ancient female poets on the mainland, experience their feelings and talents, and believe that the more you read, the more your heart will be shocked.
Although the ancient literary circle was dominated by men, there was no shortage of female literati who had been famous for thousands of years, and it was precisely because of the existence of female poets that they made the ancient culture of the mainland more brilliant. What is obvious is that the ancient female poets with great talents wrote their unique encounters in poetry, presenting people with a spiritual world that was different from that of men. Each of their poems is a spiritual song, just like a mirror "mirror", telling the world the inner appeal of female literati of all dynasties, giving people a delicate literary beauty of women, their works are a force that cannot be ignored, and female literati like Li Qingzhao occupy an indispensable position in the era with clear words and beautiful sentences.
The first female poet in the history of the mainland has no small controversy, the Song Dynasty Zhu Xi believes that Zhuang Jiang in the Spring and Autumn Period was the first female poet in the history of the mainland, and her contemporary, Mrs. Xu Mu, was known as the first patriotic female poet in the history of the mainland, and was also known as the earliest patriotic female poet in the history of world literature. No matter who is the first, in short, 2,700 years ago, female literati appeared on the stage of the mainland literary circle. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous female writer Cai Wenji was even more famous, and then to the four major female poets of the Tang Dynasty represented by Xue Tao, Yu Xuanji, Li Ye, and Liu Caichun, of course, the Tang Dynasty also had Shangguan Wan'er, who "weighed the world", who was a well-known figure in later generations. In the Song Dynasty, there were female poets led by Li Qingzhao, and her poetry became famous in history and became a good story of a generation.
Reading the works of ancient female poets gives people a feeling of gentleness and thoughtfulness, even if it is a sad poem, there is also a soft feeling. They love life, love nature, are industrious and kind, and enthusiastically sing their own lives, especially the poems of the scene, reflecting the strong interest in life, and at the same time infiltrating their own life ideals and aesthetics in the natural landscape. It is worth mentioning that female literati integrate their own attitudes to life in their works and express their emotions of life, compared with male literati, their emotions are more delicate and profound, with great appreciation value and endless memories.
Lyric poetry, of course, is the best at female poets, and from the words between the lines, you can glimpse the fine tradition of mainland women's innocence and kindness. The content of the poems they left behind has the feeling of being considerate to their husbands; there are the sad emotions of lamenting the passing of time; there are laments about the misfortune of life; there is helplessness against the inability to touch the ideal life in the context of the times; there is dissatisfaction with the repressed reality; there is the enthusiasm of active and enterprising efforts, etc. The poems of these themes are the expression of the inner feelings of ancient women on the mainland, have a sense of practical significance, and are one of the ways to understand the inner activities of ancient women.
The poems on the theme of love and marriage are the epitome of the times, their unremitting pursuit of love, but under the obstacles, they often end in failure, and Zhu Shuzhen in the Song Dynasty is the most vivid example. She was unhappy in marriage, depressed all her life, empty and bitter in her heart, thinking about the meaning and fate of life in poetry, and warning women in the world with her own encounters, and the poetry is filled with the poet's awakening consciousness, which is worth the reader's deep thinking. Of course, many female poets who care about current affairs have emerged in successive dynasties. They set their sights on society and showed concern for the country and the people. From their bodies, we can see that women's broad minds, exude patriotic and patriotic heroic spirit, true feelings, empathy, and great artistic value.
Generally speaking, ancient female poets, their works have tender and watery love, there is unswerving loyalty to love, there is a vision of perfect love, there is a pity for not being able to obtain a beautiful love, there is a lament for their own emotional encounters, there is a rebellion against the worldly concept of love, there is also a satire of real social problems and the feeling of worrying about the country and the people, as well as the perception of life and life, etc. In short, compared with male poets, female poets are more complex and delicate in their emotions, and their poems are more able to touch people's hearts. In particular, expressing emotions from a female perspective is more worthy of deep consideration and understanding.
On the day of "Goddess Day" on March 8th, I wish the great women a happy holiday, let's enjoy the ten poems written by ten ancient female poets, and experience their inner emotions with your heart, I believe you will feel something.
