The Beauty by Tang Du Fu. Faint: the name of the plant. Also known as Albizia Albizia, commonly known as night flowers, the leaves are like Sophora japonica leaves, and the flowers are reddish, which will be closed at night. Yuanyang: a bird, male and female live together, these two sentences are to the effect that: Acacia still knows that it is close at night and never exceeds the time; Mandarin ducks live together, but they don't live alone. These two sentences use "sentient" plants and animals as metaphors respectively, indicating that couples should be close to each other. In the original poem, the heroine used this as a contrast to her frivolous husband's love of the new and dislike of the old, lamenting the sinister and cold world.

The beauty of jade changes with the years, and the husband is so new.

see Jin Fu Xuan's Yu Zhang's chapter on suffering. The main idea of these two sentences is that jade's face ages with the change of years, while men tend to abandon their old wives and love new ones. It is an irresistible natural law that a beautiful woman is not long and youth is hard to stay. In a society where men are superior to women and husband and wife are unequal, the white-haired old man might as well marry a few wives with bright lips and teeth, while the old women with declining color often suffer the bad luck of "autumn fans seeing donations". ~ two sentences typically sum up the common fate of women who are abandoned for no reason in a society where women have become vassals and private objects of men. It can be used to expose the evils of feudal marriage system.
