What does it mean that a thousand miles of marriage only envies Yuanyang but not immortals?

The marriage of two people is predestined, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can be together. They can join hands like mandarin ducks and stay together for life. As long as you can do this, even if you can become a fairy in the sky.

From the Tang Dynasty poet Lu's Ancient Meaning of Chang 'an.

A passage selected from the original text

Sorry, I played the flute to Yanzi. I once studied dance for a long time.

If it works, why not die? I would rather be a mandarin duck than a fairy.

I really admire comparing my eyes with mandarin ducks, but can't you see them?

translate

Asked if they had played oral sex, they replied that they learned to dance in order to spend their time in the mood for love. As long as I can be with my beloved, I am willing to die; As long as I can be with the person I love, I would like to be a mortal and not envy the gods. Bimu and Yuanyang are really enviable, but you can't see them in pairs.

Creation background

The exact writing age of this poem is unknown. Mr. Wen Yiduo said that the palace poems in the Southern Dynasties were not blank, but a stain. Anemic and deformed palace life gave birth to anemic and deformed poems, which influenced each other, so the whole society was shrouded in prosperity. As a result, under the influence of the poetic style of "everyone's eyes are obscene, and everyone has ulterior motives", everyone's mind has been poisoned from the officials of the emperor to the people.

In ancient China, the next emperor was the representative of the gods, and he and his ministers judged the previous dynasty. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the new rulers and ministers summed up the lessons of the demise of the Southern Dynasties, one of which was the sound of indulging in national subjugation, which made sense. The extremes meet, and it has fallen to the end. This is the beginning of revitalization. Thus, Lu created a voice belonging to the Tang Dynasty-the ancient meaning of Chang 'an.
