? When I first read the beginning of this poem, "Wei magpie has a nest, and Wei dove lives in it", I immediately thought of the metaphor used to seize other people's houses or occupy them. Could this be the origin of the idiom "dove occupying the magpie's nest" which has a derogatory connotation about other people's position?
After consulting relevant information, I found that most versions of the interpretation generally believe that "doves live in magpie's nests" in this poem is not a derogatory meaning. Magpies like to build nests, and corvettes want to live together. This is the nature of both birds. The poet uses "dove" to describe the bride and "magpie" to describe the groom. It means that a girl marries and lives in her husband's house. This kind of marriage between a man and a woman is like a dove living in a magpie's nest. It is a natural attribute and human nature, and it is worthy of congratulations and celebrations.
Therefore, the version compiled by Luo Yuming believes that "Magpie's Nest" is about a grand scene of a noble wedding. The man achieves something, builds a house, marries his wife and lives there. There is a different view in the "Commentary on the Original Meaning of the Book of Songs": it is believed that this is a poem that satirizes the marriage of the son of a prince. Mr. Hou, who is mediocre in talent and dull in spirit, is not a good match for marrying a young lady with high talent, virtue and good looks. This political marriage was only possible because the man's country was powerful. The people of the country were very unsatisfied and pretended to write poems to express their displeasure. The poem expresses the Chinese people's sympathy, injustice and helplessness towards the woman.
Others think that the magpie is a metaphor for an abandoned wife and the dove is a metaphor for a new bride. This is a poem about an abandoned wife. Gao Heng expressed the same view on this in his "Modern Commentary on the Book of Songs": "The poem uses doves to occupy the magpie's nest as a metaphor for the new wife taking away the palace of the original wife."
? "Preface to Mao's Poems" says : ""Magpie's Nest" refers to the virtue of a lady. The monarch accumulates meritorious deeds and achieves a title, and the wife has it since she started her family. She is as virtuous as a dove and can match her." It is believed that this poem describes the monarch's wedding. Zhu Xi said in "Collected Poems": "The princes of the southern country were transformed by King Wen, and their women were also transformed by the concubines, so they married the princes, and their families were beautiful." It is believed that this poem is about the wedding of the princes.
It is impossible to verify which of the above statements is correct, but from the scale of the welcoming vehicles described in the poem, it can be seen that it should be a wedding of a noble.
This poem describes a wedding with the image of a dove sitting in a magpie's nest and rising up. The three words "roy", "general" and "cheng" are progressively changed, making the whole process of the wedding lively and grand. Hundreds of cars and many people came to pick her up, see her off, and protect her for her wedding. Such a grand wedding ceremony showed that its owner must be a noble.
? Weddings are lively, and married people are happy. Let’s read the two birds mentioned in this poem again. The dove is the turtle dove, which is also called the cuckoo, also known as the cuckoo. In the eyes of our ancestors, doves are virtuous. "Preface to Mao's Poems" says that doves are the embodiment of virtue. Magpies are the auspicious birds in everyone's hearts and are the most helpful birds in the world. In the legendary Magpie Bridge Meeting on July 7, magpies use their bodies to build a bridge across the Milky Way connecting the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, sacrificing their bodies for love. Moreover, many birds in the world do not build their own nests. From this point of view, the magpie nest is probably the most beautiful love nest in the world.
This poem uses a dove as a metaphor for the marriage between a man and a woman. On one side is a gentleman who has accumulated achievements like a magpie, and on the other side is a woman who is as virtuous as a cuckoo. It is really appropriate and perfect. In any case, I wish the newlyweds the best, may you never fall in love and build a love nest.
? Attachment: ? Introduction to the Six Rites:
? As early as the Zhou Dynasty, our country already had a complete set of wedding ceremonies. According to the six procedures for matchmaking and marriage contained in "Etiquette: Shihun Li", they are the six rites.
The first step is "nacai", that is, the man hires a matchmaker to come to the woman to propose marriage. After obtaining the woman's consent, he uses the wild goose as a gift and sends an envoy to deliver it, which is considered to be a formal proposal to the woman. A request for marriage.
The second step is "name asking", that is, the messenger sent by the man asks the woman for the name of her biological mother to distinguish the direct descendants and concubines, and also asks for the woman's name, ranking and birth date, which is used for divination.
The third step is "Naji", that is, after the man completes the divination, if he gets a good omen, he will send an envoy again to send geese to the woman's house to announce the good news. After the Naji ceremony is performed, the engagement is officially confirmed; if there is a bad omen, the marriage will end here.
The fourth step is "Na Zheng", also called "Na Cheng", which is to send betrothal gifts to the woman.
The fifth step is "asking for a date", that is, the man chooses an auspicious day through divination and obtains the woman's consent.
The sixth link is "personal welcome". On an auspicious wedding day, the groom takes a black car to the bride's house to marry him.
