Reading Gu Taiqing's Poetry Dictionary

About This Novel
China's literary world has been dominated by men for a long time. Female writers are very rare. Countless women have been imprisoned in boudoir and no one knows about them. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, some bold women came out of their boudoirs and formed groups to recite poems to express their inner rich emotions. Gu Taiqing was one of them. She once formed the Qiuhong Yin Society with the talented Manchu and Han women in the capital at that time, and jointly recited poems, leaving a bright scene in the history of Chinese female literature. Gu Taiqing was good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and was known as a talented woman of her generation. Her literary creation involves poetry, lyrics, novels, and paintings, especially the title of her poems, Shilin. Her high attainment in poetry is reflected in her natural precision in cooking words and refining sentences, without any trace of intentional carving, and she is good at constructing artistic conception. In the later years of the Taiqing Dynasty, she also signed herself as "Yuncha Waishi" and wrote the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions", becoming the first female novelist in the history of Chinese novels. His literary talent and insight are extraordinary. I believe that Gu Taiqing, the "female poet of the Qing Dynasty", will be famous forever!
