Two articles about Yu Qiu Temple
I want to send it, but I can't. But draw a circle.
Words are outside the circle and hearts are inside.
I'm in a tight circle, so you have to be in a tight circle.
One circle is me, two circles are you;
The whole circle is reunion, and the broken circle is separation;
And endless lovesickness,
Go all the way to the end.
The story also happened in the Qing Dynasty. There was an illiterate prostitute and a good benefactor. However, Cohen can't always be with him, and sometimes he is far away from home. The prostitute also wanted to write a letter about the suffering of lovesickness, but she couldn't write it. In desperation, she had to draw a few circles on the paper and send it. There are big and small, single and double, round and missing, and single and long. People who don't understand are more suspicious than reading wordless gobbledygook. After getting her favor, she was also very confused and had to find a learned person. A poet looked at it, thought about it, and then interpreted these circles in words. The first "circle word" is as follows:
Where do you want to send Acacia?
But draw a circle.
Words are outside the circle,
The heart is in the circle,
You must know what your secret means.
I'm on my knee,
The double circle is you,
The whole circle is a reunion,
Breaking the circle is parting.
And countless lovesickness,
Round and round to the end.
Another poet who is good at writing music also saw some meanings after reading it. He explained these circles in the form of a ditty:
I can't read love letters.
It's no use bothering others.
Why not draw a circle as a token?
This book is familiar to lovers,
A circle is a slave family.
Double circle is you.
Endless pain,
Go in circles—
Cycle after cycle!
For your reference!
Good luck!
