Why do you say "coquettish" in the poem "The ancestor of Tang Zongge is slightly inferior to coquettish"?

The word "Sao" is now used in a derogatory sense, indicating debauchery and showing off one's beauty, and Sao is a compliment.

When we read the poem "Tang Zong, the ancestor of Song Dynasty, each leading the way", although we know its meaning, we will still be surprised. This is due to the negative influence of derogatory meanings on the development of Chinese vocabulary. After all, "Sao" originally refers to the Book of Songs and Songs of the South, not derogatory. Among them, "wind" refers to the national style in the Book of Songs, because the artistic value of national style has been affirmed by everyone, so the later "wind" refers to the Book of Songs.

Sao is the Li Sao of Chu Ci. However, in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and later, the painting style of the word "Sao" gradually changed, and its meaning gradually expanded, giving people an emotional color and expanding the scope of reference. "Sao" shows two development directions: one is praise, which refers to literary talent and talent; Second, women are handsome, and the word "Sao" begins to deviate from the positive image and gradually turns to derogatory meaning. There may be two reasons for this change: first, the literati at that time had bad conduct, and Liu Yong in the Song Dynasty was a frequent visitor to brothels.

Another reason is coquettish beauty or freedom of behavior. Another meaning of "wind" is that folk songs "blow like the wind and affect the masses", which is the meaning of "national wind" in the Book of Songs. The coquettish wind shows the integration of two senses in development. Generally speaking, the development of coquettish is not linear from praise to condemnation.

The derogatory meaning of "coquettish" comes from the extension of the original meaning of the two words "Feng" and "Sao", attached to the word "coquettish" which expressed praise in a fixed form at that time, and became a freak with different spirits.
