The background of sui farewell poems

Farewell poem

Anonymous in sui dynasty

Willow green hangs down to the ground, and flowers are long and sultry.

Willow branches are broken and flowers are flying. Will pedestrians come back?

Appreciate:

This song "Farewell" came from the Sui Dynasty, and the author has been unable to verify it, but the reluctant feelings expressed by Liu in China have been passed down to this day. It is said that the custom of breaking willows to bid farewell began in the Han Dynasty. The ancients gave the willow two meanings: first, the willow grows fast, which means that it can flourish wherever it floats, and the delicate willow symbolizes affection; Second, willow is homophonic with "stay", and folding willow means "stay". Today, we can see from the poems that "Liu" is used to express the feeling of parting, which is earlier than this "custom".

The wicker broke and the flowers flew away. May I ask when the traveler will come back?

Note: The ancients often folded Yang Liuzhi watches to bid farewell.

There is also a saying that at this time, the apparent farewell poem actually expressed the curse of the demise of the Sui Dynasty, because the emperor's surname was Yang.

This is another explanation:

The last two sentences say that spring has gone and people haven't come back yet. Folding willows is a farewell; Now that the wicker is broken, it means to see the old things after a long separation and cherish others. Flying flowers, originally meant spring dusk; Today, all the flowers have flown away, indicating that spring has come back long ago, and pedestrians are not as well informed as spring. The last sentence directly deducts the question and asks the husband if he wants it back; It shows that she is full of anxiety and thirst, so she spews out like volcanic lava. Its bearing and charm are extraordinary.
