The key sentences of Mrs. Xiang are often tested as follows:
Mrs. Xiang: The autumn wind is curling, and the waves in the Dongting Lake are under the trees. What a bird is like in the apple, what a tree is like. In Yuan, there are Zhi Xi, Li Lan, and I think that Gongzi Xi did not dare to speak.
It is generally believed that Mrs. Xiang is the goddess of women in Xiangshui, and Xiang Jun, the goddess of men in Xiangshui, is the spouse god. Xiangshui is the largest river unique in Chu State. The pair of gods, Xiang Jun and Xiang Lady, reflected an ideology that primitive people worshipped natural gods and the idea of "God-man love". The folk literature and art of Chu has a strong religious atmosphere, and the altar is actually a "theater" or a "literary world".
Take Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang as examples: when people offer sacrifices to Xiang Jun, women singers or worshippers play the role of welcoming Xiang Jun; When offering sacrifices to Mrs. Xiang, male singers or worshippers play the role of welcoming Mrs. Xiang, and each of them expresses deep affection. They rely on God as the object, pinning the simple and sincere love of the world; At the same time, it also reflects the harmony between Chu people and nature.
Because Xiang Shui, which has been poured into southern Chu, has a close relationship with the people of Chu, she is like a loving mother, nurturing the people of Chu for generations. People place deep love on Hunan water, regard it as a river of love and happiness, and then personalize its description. The image of God also shows the story of joys and sorrows like people, and the God in the people's mind is specifically covered with the shadow of historical legends.
Xiang Jun and his wife are based on the legend of Shun and his second concubine (E Huang and Nv Ying). In this way, the image of God is not only richer and more vivid, but also closer to people in real life emotionally, making people feel cordial and approachable and full of human touch.
