"Gu Feng": A weak working woman
A working woman with a kind and cowardly personality, after being abandoned by her husband, did not have the slightest tone of resentment, but only fully expressed her feelings of reproach, which can really be said to be resentful but not angry. This also shows that thousands of years ago, women were in the humiliating situation of oppression, and had no independent personality and status.
The woman was abandoned by her husband, and she recalled with resentment that when her family was poor in the old days, she worked hard to help her husband overcome difficulties, and his husband was also considerate and loving to her. But later, after life became stable and rich, her husband also changed his mind and kicked her away unthankfully. In the face of this kind of negative husband who can only share hardships but cannot be happy with her, she can only condemn.
When the wind and rain are combined, it is most likely to trigger people's sadness. This woman, who was abandoned by her husband, faced with the bitter wind and rain, added infinite sadness and sorrow, and expressed her sentimentality:
The valley mouth is blowing with strong winds, and the wind carries showers. When you were scared, I was the only one to help you share your worries. Now I am rich and happy, but you have forsaken me and turned away.
The wind was blowing at Taniguchi, and the wind was spinning without stopping. When I was frightened, you put your arms around me. Now that I am rich and happy, I have forgotten all about it.
The wind at the mouth of the valley is non-stop, blowing over the towering mountains. The grass withered, and the trees withered. You forget all my benefits, and remember my little faults.
蓼莪 (liǎoé): Timely filial piety
Artemisia curcuma is sweet and delicious, it is edible, and it is surrounded by roots, so it is also called Artemisia annua, which can be used as a metaphor for human maturity and filial piety. And those scattered artemisia are scattered, artemisia is crude and inedible, scattered artemisia can neither be edible nor bear fruit, can be used as a metaphor for people who are not mature and cannot fulfill filial piety. A filial son, seeing that someone mistook Artemisia for Artemisia curcuma, so his heart was moved and he sighed, and he began to blame himself for not being able to be a talent and unable to raise filial piety to his parents for the rest of his life. He lamented that it was not easy for his parents to raise him, and he worked hard and endured all the hardships.
The loss of a son from both parents is painful because he can no longer be loved by his parents. The bottle is like a parent, and the jar of water is like a son, and the bottle is empty, indicating that there is not enough water stored in the jar, which is a metaphor for his failure to support his parents, and he is ashamed because he has not fulfilled his due filial piety. After losing his parents, his lonely life was painful, and he deeply felt that he was lonely and had no one to rely on.
He was originally dependent on his parents, and without his parents, there was no warmth of the family, so that having a home was like not having a home. From childhood to adulthood, his parents' nurturing and loving love for him can be said to be meticulous, feeding him, protecting him, loving him, nurturing him, and protecting him. At this time, he seemed to be chattering, his voice was rapid, and it was the same as crying, his voice was tears, and every sentence was blood. Because he has not yet had time to support his parents and repay his parents for his great kindness, but the world is impermanent, and God has taken the lives of his parents prematurely, so that he has no chance to repay his parents now.
Nanshan is difficult and dangerous, the wind is howling, the atmosphere is distressed and dangerous, and the killing is sad, which symbolizes the great grief and desolation of his parents. Heavy mourning, helpless whimpering and complaining:
Look at the artemisia that grows tall, but it is not artemisia but scattered artemisia. Pity my father and mother, raising me is too hard!
Look at the artemisia snuggling together, but it is not artemisia but Wei. Pity my father and mother, raising me is too tired!
The bottom of the water bottle is empty, and it is a shame to hold the water jar. It's not interesting to live alone, it's better to die early. What can you rely on if you don't have a father? What can I do if I don't have my own mother? When I went out to walk, I was sad, and I didn't know how to stop when I started.
Daddy, you gave birth to me, Mommy, you feed me. You protect me, love me, raise me, nurture me, think of me and don't want to leave me, go in and out of the house and embrace me. If you want to repay your parents' great kindness, it is difficult to predict the disaster from heaven!
The South Mountain is high and difficult to overcome, and the wind is terrible and timid. There is no misfortune for everyone, why did I suffer this catastrophe?
The South Mountain is high and difficult to cross, and the wind is terrible and people tremble. There is no misfortune for everyone, and you can't be alone for the rest of your life!
"Dadong": The miserable life of the people of the East
In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a rebellion in the three prisons, and Wu Geng, a descendant of Yin Shang, united with the old vassal states of the east, such as the State of Xiang, the State of Pugu, and the Kingdom of Xu Yi and Huaiyi, to raise troops against the Zhou. Zhou Gong went on an eastward expedition, and after three years of war, he destroyed Wu Geng, deposed the three eunuchs, and conquered seventeen small countries such as the State of Xiang. Subsequently, the Duke of Zhou relocated the stubborn remnants of the Yin Dynasty, and gave the surnames of Ji, the great powers of Lu, Qi, Wei, and Yan to monitor the small countries in the east and implement zoning management. The small countries that are closer to Hokyo are collectively referred to as the small east, and the smaller countries that are farther away are collectively called the great east. In order to strengthen control, the Zhou Dynasty built a strategically important highway from Hojing to the countries of the East.
According to the "Book of Yi Zhou", it is recorded that opening up passes and building roads, within five miles is the suburbs of Yi, there are wells every ten miles, and houses are located every twenty miles, which is the so-called Zhou Road. The Zhou Dao facilitated the Zhou Dynasty's transportation of troops and military supplies from the West to the East, and then also the Zhou Dynasty's return of wealth collected from the small eastern states. For the small states in the East, this was like a blood vessel, through which the rulers of the Western Zhou Dynasty brought severe oppression, servitude, hardship and resentment to the conquered peoples of the East.
One of the conquered eastern vassal states was the state of Tan, which was located in the southeast of present-day Jinan, Shandong, and was supposed to belong to the Great East. According to the "Zuo Biography", in 684 BC, the state of Qi sent troops to destroy the small state because of the rudeness of the state of Tan. Today's protagonist should be a doctor of Tan State, he is a doctor of the old country of the East, and he has antagonistic feelings towards the Western Zhou people, which reflects the contradiction between the Zhou Dynasty as the conqueror and the old country of the East as the conquered. The decline in the status of the original subjects of the East led him to cry out in sympathy for the people, thus reflecting the contradictions between the ruling class of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the people of the conquered countries.
The oppression of the people of the East was painful, and the doctor was faced with such a picture and developed a passion for indignation and resistance. He thought of the straight and flat Zhou Dao from the utensils filled with food, and he witnessed the different treatment of the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the common people of the East, and expressed the sadness in his heart. You must know that the reason why the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty can enjoy it so much is that it is obtained from the taxes in the East. As soon as the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty came, all the cloth on the looms of the common people was expropriated, and the small people wore broken straw shoes during the frost, and the sons were still squeezing through the Zhou Dao that sucked blood vessels. How heartbroken and heartbreaking it is for them to return with a full load!
