Literal translation: This girl is getting married and will return to her husband's house happily.
Appreciation: The return of the son means that the beautiful bride is about to get married. Return, the woman said she was getting married and returned. After praising the beauty of the soon-to-be-married bride, the poetic meaning begins to extend, and people then turn their attention to the suitability of their married life for their family.
Yi means harmonious and happy. The room is where the couple lives, and the home is within the same door. The woman's "goodness" is implicitly hidden in the pleasantness of the IKEA room.

From peach blossoms to peach fruits and then to peach leaves, the three changes of scenery outline the scene of a prosperous marriage between a man and a woman. The ancients cleverly combined the external "beauty" like peach blossoms with the internal "goodness" of "appropriateness" to express people's beautiful yearning for a harmonious family and a peaceful and contented life.
The opening chapter of "Three Hundred Poems" covers all aspects of love and marriage life, explaining the importance of family and marriage. This is not only the expectation of people's lives, but also the hope of the rulers. The so-called "It is good for its family, and then it can be taught to the people of the country." To put it bluntly, it is "good for the country" based on "IKEA", "YISHI", and "YIKEREN".
In any case, "Peach Death" is the joy and blessing of the Chinese nation that continues to this day. Even today, we also wish a woman like a peach blossom, "her son will return", a happy life and a happy family. Happiness is "suitable for one's home".
4. Creation background
As for the background of this poem, the "Preface to Mao's Poems" believes that it is related to the concubine and the king. Fang Yurun refuted this view in "The Original Book of Songs" and believed that "these are all circuitous and difficult to understand, and are not enough to convey poetic meaning." Modern scholars generally do not take the view of "Preface to Mao's Poems", but believe that it is a poem to congratulate a young girl on her marriage.
