The "Yu" in "Qin Se Zai Yu" means: to use, here it means to play. The meaning of qin and se is: You play the harp and I play the harp. It comes from "Guo Feng·Zheng Feng·Nv Yue Cock Crow" in "The Book of Songs" in the pre-Qin Dynasty.
Original poem:
"Guo Feng·Zheng Feng·The woman said the rooster crows" Pre-Qin Dynasty: Anonymous
The woman said the rooster crows, and the scholar said "Midan". Zixing looks at the night, and the stars sometimes die. The general will soar and fly, the duck and the wild goose.
Yi Yanjia, and Ziyi. It is better to drink wine and grow old together with your son. With the harp and harp at your disposal, it’s best to be quiet.
When a wise son comes, give him a miscellaneous pendant. If you know your son, please obey him, and ask him about it. If you know your son is kind to you, you should repay him with miscellaneous gifts.
Interpretation:
The woman said: "The rooster has crowed." The man said: "It's not yet dawn. If you don't believe me, open the window and look at the sky. The morning star is already shining." The birds will fly away from the nest, and the ducks and geese will fly down to the reed pond. I will cook you delicious food and drink together, and we will grow old together and love each other forever." The woman played the piano. The male plays the harp, harmoniously and happily together.
“I know that you really care about me, so I give you this miscellaneous pendant to express your love. I know that you are considerate and considerate to me, so I give you this miscellaneous pendant to express my gratitude. I know that your love for me is true. You are of the same mind.”

About the author:
The author of "The Book of Songs" is unknown, and most of them cannot be verified. Collected by Yin Jifu and compiled by Confucius. The Book of Songs was called "The Book of Songs" in the pre-Qin period, or the round number was called "The Three Hundred Songs". It was revered as a Confucian classic during the Western Han Dynasty and was first called the Book of Songs, which is still used today.
"The Woman Said the Rooster Crows", an article in "The Book of Songs·Zheng Feng". It is a Han folk song from Zhengdi in the pre-Qin period. The whole poem consists of three chapters, each chapter has six lines. Regarding the background of this poem, scholars of all ages have different opinions. Modern scholars generally believe that this poem is a poem praising the harmonious life, sincere feelings and beautiful life wishes of a young couple. It is a family life drama.
This poem is like a life drama. The poet shows three affectionate close-ups through the dialogue between gentlemen and women. The harmonious family life and sincere and passionate feelings of this young couple are enviable and admirable.
Judging from the text, the husband was woken up by his wife early in the morning, and then there was a description of the husband going out hunting. These can be seen as the couple's bleak management of their lives. Of course, it is not without purpose that they work hard and sleep like stars. They have their own yearnings and visions for the future.
In the second stanza of the poem, the poet uses the woman’s words to tell the reason. The wife is expressed from three aspects: her blessing to her husband for hunting, her own practices and her wishes for her married life. Her affection and desire for a better life are clearly visible on the page. Naturally, if we look at the third verse of the poem, we will also find that the husband’s heart is the same as that of his wife. They all hope to make their loved ones happy through their own efforts and to make their lives more comfortable through their own management.
In their hearts, their hope and longing for life have never disappeared. Because, although reality often makes them suffer, there is indescribable happiness in the suffering.
