Extended information
This poem is entirely the heroine's inner monologue, or she is infatuated with "talking to herself". Confused, I regard the horses and chariots in front of me as those carrying my husband away; In order not to separate, I want to become a husband; Moreover, my husband is not allowed to stand in the shade: it seems ridiculous and unreasonable. However, this kind of "unreasonable" thinking is just an excellent display of sentimental and subtle psychology.
