Pick weeds up the hill and see your wife down the hill.
Kneel down and ask the old father-in-law, where is the newcomer?
Although the newcomer speaks well, he is not as good as his old friend.
The color is similar, but the claws are different.
The newcomer enters the door, so the old man leaves.
New artificial weaving, so artificial weaving.
Weave a horse a day, weaving more than 50 feet.
New people are better than old people.

This is a poem about an abandoned wife. The whole article is a brief conversation between the abandoned wife and her late husband when they meet occasionally. The abandoned wife asked her late husband about the "newcomer": "Where is the newcomer?" The word "fu" is meaningful, which not only expresses the infinite grievances and resentment in the abandoned wife's heart, but also carries a hint of instinctive jealousy. Therefore, the husband replied, "My face is not as beautiful as yours, and my hands and feet are not as fast as yours." The abandoned wife stabbed him coldly: "A newcomer enters from the door, so an old friend enters from the pavilion." The guilty wife was eager to confess, so she came to the conclusion that "the new person is not as good as the old one". The original intention of this poem is to praise the unfortunate fate of the abandoned wife, but it does not write the sadness and injustice of the abandoned wife from the front, but writes the memory of her late husband. The author did not make any positive explanation and condemnation, but the memory of her dead husband made readers understand that the abandoned wife was a beautiful and hardworking woman, and her abandonment was completely innocent, and her fate depended on her husband's temporary likes and dislikes. As for the fate of the "newcomer", it is not difficult to guess.
This poem is a short narrative poem that expresses the ideological content through dialogue between characters. There are three characters in the poem: the old man, the old man and the new man. Although the new couple did not appear, from the conversation between the old husband and the old friend, we can clearly see the inner pain revealed in the mutual confession between the old husband and the old friend after a long separation. Yes, the old friend appeared as an abandoned wife, but the question is who abandoned him? From many historical points of view, most people think that the dead husband in poetry is the main source of the pain of the deceased. After chewing this poem repeatedly, I think that the responsibility for the abandonment of the old friend lies not in the old husband or the new one, but in the coercive means of the fourth person. The three people in the poem can be said to be victims of feudal system and feudal ethics.
To understand this problem, we must first understand the reasons why our old friends were abandoned. As we know, due to the social form and economic structure of feudal society, rural women at that time were the main producers of cottage industry in individual economy. Under the system of buying and selling marriage at that time, the daughter-in-law was equivalent to the labor force bought by the man with "bride price money". Therefore, the ability to work is one of the criteria for evaluating the daughter-in-law in a family. For the clutch of marriage, women's ability to work has become an important factor. Liu Lanzhi in Peacock Flying Southeast tried his best to "crow enters the plane and can't rest every night". The burned mothers suspected that she had given birth too little, which became one of the important excuses for her being forced to return to her parents' home. In "Picking Wild Flowers on the Mountain", we can see that the old man's labor ability is obviously better than that of the new man, and the color is not worse than that of the new man. According to the so-called "merit-based admission" principle we talk about today, how can her husband choose a new man and abandon the old one? Obviously, the old friend was not driven away because he could not meet the labor requirements of his husband's family, nor was he abandoned because he was old, just like the heroine in The Book of Songs, so it is inferred that the reason why the old friend was abandoned is probably "childless".
The word "long kneeling" vividly embodies the heroine's knowledge and understanding. Imagine that the heroine devoted her life to serving her late husband, and now that her youth is gone, her husband has mercilessly abandoned herself. When I meet her now, it is conceivable that the heroine's inner remorse filled her chest, but she didn't lose her temper or avoid it. Instead, she obeyed the etiquette and "knelt down for a long time" to abandon her dead husband. What a big tolerance! Although the heroine knelt down physically, her heart is tougher than anyone else! The phrase "What will happen to a new person?" On the surface, there is a smooth tone, but the pain of being abandoned inside can be imagined. The heroine must be heartbroken when she says this again. But she still bravely asked. I think my late husband in front of me admired his ex-wife's tolerance. Faced with such a strong woman, her husband regretted abandoning her.
As a prologue to meeting my late husband, this sentence is very clever and appropriate. It seems like gossip, but it is a sentence "How about newcomers?" Fully embodies the heroine's confidence. This sentence is also provocative. In the face of the heroine's question, the average man will say something like "very well, we are very happy together", not to mention happiness or not. In order to save face, the man is usually not to be outdone.
The man in this poem didn't answer like this. On the contrary, men constantly praise their ex-wives' looks and skills, which is far superior to "newcomers". Every word is sincere. After listening to the concession and confession of the man, the heroine was naturally filled with a trace of pride. At this time, the heroine will take advantage of the situation to pursue, "New people enter through the door, so old people come out." The woman seems to be saying, "Knowing that I am so good, you marry her from the new door and let me leave from the side door?" A sentence seems to be a reproach on the surface, but in fact it is full of lingering affection and is very interesting.
When men see women start to blame themselves and know that this is an opportunity to save their beloved women, they will no longer leave themselves a backward path and their feelings for the heroine are getting deeper and deeper. It is embarrassing to admit that "the newcomer is not as good as the old one", which must have amused the heroine.
Originally, it was an embarrassing scene when the ex-wife met her husband, but in the end it ended in such joy. Reading here not only makes readers smile, but also greatly impressed by the poet's ability to control poetry.
In his answer, the man ignored the feelings of the big man and blindly expressed his infinite nostalgia for his ex-wife. It is also conceivable that the ex-wife was very moved. A man's tone is humble and sincere. Finally, he couldn't wait to sigh "Let's get back together". The last sentence, "A new person is not as good as an old one", unreservedly expresses a man's deep yearning for the heroine.
It can be seen from the man's answer that the man ignored his feelings and expressed his deep nostalgia for his ex-wife. But if it weren't for this meeting, would men never be able to speak their minds? Since the separation, the man has been thinking about his ex-wife day and night, always in infinite regret, but the man did not go to his ex-wife to ask for reunification. This is not because men don't want to get back together, nor because men can't save face. But because the man abandoned the woman, the man first knew that he was wrong, so he was not qualified to avoid looking for his beloved woman. The rich feelings for men hidden in the poem are no less than those of the heroine.
