First of all, everyone's understanding of Yuanyang is touching, beautiful and happy. Metaphor is the purest symbol of the inseparable love between a pair of lovers. We are used to becoming a two-way bird in the sky, snuggling up to each other, and becoming a two-way mandarin duck in the water, which is infinitely touching. But when we saw the truth, we were inevitably shocked. It turns out that Yuanyang, we talked so much about the embodiment of love, turned out to be brotherhood in the past, and suddenly there is a sadness that I treat you as a lover, but you treat me as a brother.
Secondly, Yuanyang's strong brotherhood can be verified by the works of many poets. Zheng Feng, a poet in Jin Dynasty, once mentioned Yuanyang in his poems, and compared him with his close friend Lu Ji, describing their brotherly friendship of mutual encouragement and appreciation. Ji Kang, whom we are familiar with, once wrote a farewell poem for his brother when he entered the military camp, using Yuanyang to show that distance can't change their brotherhood. Moreover, there are many such examples.
Then, Yuanyang is regarded as love birds, because in some poems, it has been mentioned that when Yuanyang is successfully paired, they will stay together and never part, and the degree of loyalty to love is that once one party leaves, they will never find another Yuanyang to become a spouse. But according to scientific research, it seems that this is not the case. On the surface, the relationship between mandarin ducks is exclusive, but in fact, once they mate successfully, the males will play again. If one of them dies, they will mate as usual.
Finally, Yuanyang, which people admire, is not a metaphor of faithful love at first, but a metaphor of deep brotherhood. Moreover, Yuanyang's life habits are not single-minded, and it is inevitable that someone will fall in love.
