This is a poem about a wedding. The Preface to the Poems of Mao Zedong regards this poem as the wedding of the monarch. Zhu's Biography of Poems regards this poem as a prince's wedding. From the description of vehicles in the poem, we can know that this should be a noble wedding, not a common folk wedding.
The theme of this poem has always been controversial and can be summarized into three views:
First, the magpie refers to the groom and the pigeon refers to the bride. This view is divided into two opinions: (1) This poem is said by the poet on behalf of the groom, expressing the poet's sympathy for men. Magpies build nests and pigeons come to live. The groom prepares the house and the bride comes to live. A woman lives in a man's room and a pigeon lives in a magpie's nest. This theory is represented by Yao Jiheng. Yao Jiheng's General Theory of the Book of Songs said: "According to the meaning of this poem, the difference between birds and pigeons is said. They all say that they live in nests and magpie nests, and women live in men. " Yao's statement is highly respected. However, Fang Yurun, another storyteller in Qing Dynasty, had a different view.
