"Jiangnan has nothing, talk about a spring." Jiangnan has nothing to give, so I will give you a plum blossom for the time being. There are more than ten million kinds of scenery in Jiangnan. How can there be nothing? In fact, nothing can best represent the author's mood at this time except plum blossom.
The folk song "Xizhou Qu" written by Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties begins with "Recalling the plum blossoms in Xizhou, folding them and sending them to Jiangbei". In the early spring, when a woman saw the plum blossom in full bloom, she recalled the scene of meeting her lover under the plum blossom tree, so she thought of going to Xizhou to fold a plum blossom and give it to her lover in Jiangbei. It is the development of women's feelings from looking at plum blossoms to remembering plum blossoms and then folding them. For her, this plum blossom has a special meaning. This is a testimony of their love and a catalyst for their beautiful past. Because she misses her lover, she is going to Xizhou, so she must dress up beautifully. This is the expression "women like themselves". Even if she doesn't see the "lover", she will appear in the place where she once met with the most beautiful image, showing a woman's deep affection for her lover.
