Peacock Flying Southeast is based on a marriage tragedy that happened in Lujiang County (now in Huaining and Qianshan, Anhui Province) during the reign of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The original title was "Ancient Poems for Jiao Zhongqing's Wife", and it was named because the first sentence of the poem was "Peacock flies southeast and wanders in five miles".

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Confucian ethics gradually occupied a dominant position and developed to a fairly complete and rigorous degree. In terms of the marriage system, there are rules and regulations such as "seven out" and "parents are the whole world".

Peacock Flying Southeast is the first narrative poem in the history of China literature, and it is also the pinnacle of Yuefu poetry. Throughout the history of literature and literature in the Eastern Han Dynasty, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Huan and Ling were in the tomb, the authors of five-character poems were Qin Jia, Cai Yong, Li Yan, Zhao Yi, Xin Yannian and Song Zihou.

These authors have different poetic styles, but Xin Yannian is closer to the poetic style of Yuefu folk songs, and his poems are very similar to Peacock Flying Southeast. This similarity can be seen from the comparison between his work Yu Lin Lang and his poem Peacock Flying Southeast.
