Vows cannot bind lovers.

Anonymous "Bodhisattva Man" [The hair is exhausted in front of the pillow]. The general meaning of these two sentences is: I swear on my pillow thousands of times that I will give up and wait until the green hills rot. This is a love vow, a lover's speech to his beloved at the happiest moment. The author uses six extremely wonderful metaphors in the poem ("green mountains rotting", "weights floating on the water", "the Yellow River is completely dry", "the sun appears", "the Big Dipper returns to the south", "see the third watch") "Sun") expresses unswerving love, fully demonstrating the protagonist's true love and nature. The content, style and expression of this anonymous work from the Tang Dynasty can be compared with the famous folk song "Shangxie" from the Tang Dynasty. The unrestrained emotions, the fiery love, the strange metaphors, and the bright language of these two poems are all very amazing. They can be said to be two pearls among the ancient folk-flavored love poems.
