In fact, it was Chen Xiaocui's own work. " her poetic skills are rooted in her family studies. Her poetic style is graceful and elegant, and sometimes she has open-minded works, such as "when the ice and snow are thousands of feet deep, leaning on the great wall of the horse to write a statement", "when the poet's dream is exhausted, there is not much innocence", which is beyond the ordinary level of writing.

Tragic experience

Maybe it's the old saying that heaven is jealous of talents. Chen Xiaocui's marriage is very unfortunate. At the age of 26, she married Tang Yanqi, the grandson of Zhejiang governor Tang Shouqian. The collection of poems and essays "singing grass in cuilou" is a dowry. Divorce soon after marriage. Although still can not marry with Gu poet, but when the fish and geese pass, affectionate money. The article "Chen Xiaocui" written by Chen julai, an elderly man holding an, describes that Gu foying didn't want Xiaocui to bear such a bad reputation before she died. It's a pity that Gu foying burned his poems and essays of singing peace with Xiaocui. At present, there are only a few of them. she was persecuted during the cultural revolution. She fled Shanghai twice to escape the turmoil, and was captured by the intruders. The poem "the book of taking refuge in the west of Shanghai and cherishing young children", written in 1966, says: "the pain is still palpitating, and the book has become silk. Who pities the magpie around the branches and flies south every night. " We can see the gloomy and desolate taste. Her daughter, Tang cuichao, married overseas, and Chen was quite lonely in her later years. In 1968, she committed suicide by gas.

Selected Poems

"Looking for autumn"

the fallen leaves in a deserted village, the cold stars in a broken house. Sleepless because of thin wine, looking for autumn sound.

On the lake

When the rain comes, the grass will grow in anger, and the summer will come in April. In front of the mountain, the sun screens the shadows, and the bamboo monk's way back is half overcast.

Xixi

Tian's family rarely wear clothes, and their children scream at Li Diao tan. I admire the canal, and the canal envies me.

Lake House

the daughter's house in the green poplar Pavilion, with the red appendix embracing the water. According to the shadow of spring wave, people like jade, embroidered skirt mixed with white camellia. the lake wind is blowing cold, ready to add clothes, painting Pavilion smoke faint swallow fly. Linshui people can not see, night lights red over liubiandi.

"Inscribed painting"

The scarlet screen is slanted, and the black cotton ironing body is thinner than the yarn. Ten days of drizzling rain, autumn in front of the door red lotus.

Huanghan Xizhan

The rest of the things are idle, and the pen and tea are even more desolate. Cold and desolate repeatedly move plan, the old tree to stay in the new year. Wanmei tide Lake building, half the wind curtain ring jade shame. The highest mountain Pavilion combs its hair alone.

Spring boudoir

the sky is full of snow and pearls, and the sound of Xiao in the adjacent yard is separated from crape myrtle. The twelfth floor is like the sea in spring, where the beauties return. I love the corridor when the moon is bright. No wonder the rose is not fragrant. the rain in xiaofangtang is past, and the raspberry moss is scattered along the green fence. Spiders alone add love, half smart half crazy.

Shanju

the window leaves of the small pavilion press the water to open, and the spring of the year looks like the berry moss. There is no one in the mountain family. Sometimes there are flowing clouds.

Painting flowers and birds for Mr. Zheng Yimei

the life experience of micro birds is poor, and the nest is threatened by wind and rain. Borrow a wish enough, the sunset speechless self comb plume.

Living on the lake

the mountain scenery of Nanping is dim day by day, and the water crossing bell is heard in the morning. A red curtain across the spring rain, teapot in the apricot. The little girl in the south of the Yangtze River has a curving eyebrow, and jasmine is like a cluster of two servant girls. Strange boat Niang is too rough, blue radius soup breaks the moon. the drizzle is silent, and the building is more than a year old. Ten days after rolling the curtain, I was very free. I sat and watched the cloud mountain and read books.

On the wall of new residence

The flowers in the mirror are beautiful in late spring, and the paintings on the screen are full of fragrant dust. The spring people in the green poplar Pavilion laugh, and they invite the flowing warbler to be their match. the wind in the other courtyard floats thousands of catkins, and the window peepers are separated by two layers of gauze. Mistakenly, I wake up from my dream to the Bank of wild rice and reed, and I am filled with fragrant snowflakes. the title of the old Department of flowers, the new wing snow Pavilion. A smile linchi write new sentence, smallpox such as rain curtain shame.

Lake House

The crystal curtain is close to the Milky way, passing through the mirror when the sails are in shadow. The fishing boats outside the bridge have just taken up their nets, and there are more red flowers than white fish. In the evening, I would like to send my fan to cool, and I would like to change my gauze into light gauze in fine weather. No one can see the small building of the lake, and there are thousands of green poplars outside the threshold. the daughter's house in the green poplar Pavilion, with the red fence holding the water slanting. According to the shadow of the spring wave, people like jade, embroidered skirt new decorated white camellia.

Spring boudoir

silver lamp beads and foil amuse the sunshine, and Baoding is full of musk brain fragrance. It's nothing to do with the little servant girl, playing hide and seek on the back of the crystal curtain.

Winter night

apart from the edge of a broken water, there is a delicate fragrance through the blue gauze. Lose and Dongfeng Rao brush, late window Ruyue write plum.

Tongyin test inkstone

the weather of Shayi is as beautiful as jade, and the nap is just enough. When you get up, you never learn to comb, but learn the true book from the bottom of Wutong flower. The yard is full of shade and the cicadas are singing green. The green inkstone is suitable for new ink. Who is Mrs. Wei in the seat, so as to cover the pomegranate ring with hairpin flowers.

Wang Zhaoming's poems on shuangzhaolou

Shuangzhao Lou's life is divided into two parts. Half of the river and mountain still exist at the end of the century. Songhui was ashamed of his surname Qin. Hanyuan is the only one who pities Junzhu, and heroes cherish Kunlun. I'm ashamed that my head is white and new.
