This poem illustrates the theme that true love between men and women is repressed and destroyed by the feudal ethical code and the feudal forces in feudal society. It depicts the poet’s love for a goddess of the Luo River, Mi Fei, who is actually the reincarnation of the poet’s favorite concubine, Zhen Fei, who had passed away.展开更多
