求凰

Sima Xiangru was a poor lad from obscure background, in modern words, he was the one "without house, without car, without money and without card 。" Yet by pure chance he moved Zhuo Wenjun, a lady from a rich family, with a guqin-accompanied song, The Male Phoenix Seeks His Mate.

司马相如出身平庸，用现在的话说就是“无房无车无没钱没卡”一族。但是他居然用一曲古琴《凤求凰》打动了富家小姐卓文君。

但是他居然用一曲古琴《凤求凰》打动了富家小姐卓文君。

This picture shows the scene that Sima Xiangru played the Song of Courtship for Wenjun that night.

此画即为司马相如当晚为文君弹奏《凤求凰》的一幕。

Thus he wrote the Song of Courtship and played it at the banquet of Zhuo's'family, the song was romantic with rhymes and lines grasping Wenjun's heart.

于是作出一曲《凤求凰》在卓家家宴时献上，缠绵动情，曲词句句抓住文君的心。
