Appreciation of Huian Women's Works

Hui 'an Daughter is Shu Ting's masterpiece to realize women's writing, which expresses the author's praise for the excellent quality of Hui 'an Daughter and her concern for the tragic life of Hui 'an Daughter. Hui 'an women are Han women in several villages and towns along the coast of Hui 'an, Fujian Province. The men there have been drifting at sea for many years, and "staying behind" is almost the real situation of all Huian women there. But for a long time, they have been silently enduring the bitterness of life and echoing the expectations of traditional culture with diligence, gentleness and filial piety. Shu Ting approached these women through her unique female emotional experience, and "Huian Woman" is a song of compassion for them.

The use of the second person has narrowed the emotional distance between the author and the woman in Hui 'an. They are not "watched" objects, but sisters of the author's soul.

The whole poem consists of four sections, the first section is two sentences, which freeze the eyes that Hui 'an women are eager to wear. Eyes are the windows of the soul, and those fiery eyes convey the unforgettable thoughts and infinite concerns of Huian women for their husbands or lovers.

The first two sentences of the second section describe the unique appearance and clothing of Hui 'an women, but the poet immediately mentioned the brushwork lightly and turned to the pursuit of happiness by Hui 'an women. On the surface, it seems a bit simplistic for poets to associate women's appearance with happiness, but in fact, women's clothing in Huian is quite unique and decorative. The typical costumes of Hui 'an women are: yellow hat, flower headscarf, blue coat, silver waist chain and wide pants. They just stood by the sea, looking at the sea, looking forward to the early return of their loved ones. Countless dashed hopes did not shake their confidence. The use of images such as "dandelion", "sea" and "spray" implies their ultimate loss. Against the beautiful costumes, the tragic meaning is more prominent.

The third section is the poet's description of Hui 'an women's perseverance. Images such as "Dong Xiao", "Pipa" and "Late Photo" add ancient rhyme to the sadness of Hui 'an daughter, giving this sadness a sense of historical depth. "You gently bite the corner of the headscarf in your mouth", and the word "bite" writes a sense of movement, which includes the swallowing and self-control of Huian women against all misfortunes.

In the fourth section, the poet expressed his dissatisfaction with the world's concern for Hui 'an women with a curious attitude. The beauty created by Hui 'an women's unique living conditions has attracted many people's attention, and their peculiar living customs and costumes have also become a word-of-mouth story. While they are interested in Hui 'an girls, they just ignore their sufferings, so that they can't get the care they deserve. In this context, Shu Ting's description of their sufferings is meaningful, which also shows the author's strong female consciousness.

In the form of poetry, except for the first verse, all the other verses are five elements, and the structure is relatively unified; In addition, this poem pays attention to rhyme and has musical beauty. Hui 'an, Fujian, is a place with "ten years and nine droughts, ten rains and nine floods" in history. Blockage, poverty and feudal stereotypes have brought a lot of suffering to Hui 'an women. Early marriage, permanent residence in parents' homes and collective suicide have left a shocking record in history. The living environment of Hui 'an women is harsh in their social status, but from the outside world, Hui 'an women's kerchief, hat, short coat, silver belt, quaint clothing and natural graceful posture can be called a beautiful scenery, which has won universal admiration and appreciation, so it appears as "scenery and legend in cover and illustration".

Poets with fraternity and keen insight saw the shallowness of the world from their shallow appreciation of Hui 'an's daughter under the general curiosity. The living situation of the two sisters in their hometown in the south and the fate of women "disappearing forever without suffering" in the world inspired the poet to plead for women and protest against the numbness and neglect of the living situation of women in Hui' an and even the whole world.

"Wildfire is in the distance, in the distance, in your amber eyes", the poet linked the amber eyes of Hui 'an women with ancient wild wildfires, which made the images of Hui 'an women and ancient ethnic women overlap. In this connection between reality and history, Hui 'an women have an "ancient" color. And this kind of "ancient style" formed by the claustrophobia of history and culture and the isolation from external civilization is "beauty" and "scenery" in the eyes of the world, but it is a kind of heaviness in Hui 'an women themselves. "Restrain the soft waist with the silver ornaments of ancient tribes", and the word "restraint" in the poem emphasizes the bondage of ancient traditions to modern women and vaguely reveals the "universal sadness" of Hui 'an women.

Although happiness is unpredictable, happiness is a beautiful dream for Hui 'an women, but in the face of the cold reality, their dreams can only slowly fall on the sea like dandelions and disappear with the waves. In the face of the eternal "suffering", Hui 'an women silently endured. When the sun set, the beautiful flute and pipa woke up their inner sadness countless times, but they just silently endured, "biting the corner of the headscarf with their mouths". Hui 'an daughter is so virtuous internally and beautiful externally, which naturally becomes the "scenery" that people appreciate. This view of treating women as "scenery" ignores women's independent personality and the improvement of living environment, and ignores the sadness of women's "beauty", which makes the poet sad. Hui 'an female image is a poet's solemn protest against those ignorant and numb people, and also a sincere call for our society to respect women's personality independence and pay attention to women's living environment.
