Chinese Poetry

y1: The poem that appealed to me the most was the poem" The River- Merchants Wife" because, the husband leaves her wich is sad and cruel if she was always with him and she loved him .
2:They have known each other for 16 years.The husband left with a really pouding attitude and I think she fells hurt and sad about his absence.
3:The speakers fellings toward the poem are lovely, thoughtful,and serious.
4:In this poem, he gazes at it and describes it as a star river falling because of how the waterfalls fall and also dessolving into clouds.The heart grows rich by repose wich meansthat, the heart grows wealthy by resting and lines 21 and 22 means that he will always be close to what he loves and to leave it to people so they can see it and appreciate it.
5:visualizing the scenes in this poems help me understand the experiences being described because it can help me get into the poem a little more .it helps me understand the poems better.
