The Millennium is frost.
The so-called Iraqis are on the water side.
Tracing back and forth, the road is blocked and long.
Swim back from it, in the middle of the water
Sadly, the Millennium is still there.
The so-called Iraqis are in the water.
Tracing back and forth from it, the road is blocked and broken.
Swim back from the inside and swim in the water.
Jia Cai, peace and prosperity have not passed.
The so-called Iraqis are in the water.
Go back and follow, the road is blocked and turn right.
Swim back from the inside and swim in the water.
People have always had different views on the theme of this poem. To sum up, there are three main views: First, the theory of "stabbing Xiang Gong" originated from Preface to Mao Shi: "Jiaxu, stabbing Xiang Gong also. If Zhou Li cannot be used, the country cannot be consolidated. " The second is the theory of "recruiting talents". Yao Jiheng's A General Introduction to the Book of Songs and Fang Yurun's The Book of Songs Primitive are both poems that quote sages. "Yiren" means "sage", "sage lives in seclusion on the waterfront, but people want to see it"; Or, saying, "You don't follow the path of seeking seclusion, and hermits avoid it." The third is the theory of "love". Today, Lan Juyou, Fan, Gao Ting, Lu Huiwen and others all hold "love songs". For example, Lu Huiwen said: "This is a love song, and the poet is in trouble because the lover he is pursuing is out of reach. It is an implicit metaphor to say that the river is impassable. " Most people nowadays talk about love.
The three chapters of the whole poem overlap, with the same structure and similar meaning. Each chapter can be divided into four levels: the first two sentences begin with a picture of autumn colors on the river, creating a slightly sad realm in the loneliness, which well renders the atmosphere and sets off the persistent pursuit and elusive love mood described in the poem.
Three or four sentences tell the central image of the poem: the protagonist lingers by the river and stares at the pursuit of "Iraqis" on the other side of the river. "Being on the water side" is isolated from the world, which means to pursue difficulties and produce an unattainable realm. Although the lyric hero is eager to see through the autumn water and pursue it persistently, "Iraqi" is always elusive. This is hard to see, so there are helpless emotions and empty and melancholy feelings in the poem. The following four sentences are the juxtaposition of two levels and describe two different scenes: on the water side, it is difficult to reach the border. "Going back to the shore, the road is long, but it's Xiu Yuan" is a description of the dilemma when chasing against the current: endless difficulties and obstacles, endless journey, and inaccessible signposts. "Swim downstream in the middle of the water" is the illusion of tracing downstream: the journey is smooth everywhere, the Iraqis are always there, but in the end they can't get close. There are both upstream and downstream, and the significance of pursuing and persisting can be seen; Either adversity is hard to reach or magic is hard to approach, and it won't work after all.
Fang Yurun said that this poem "has only one meaning in three chapters, and it rhymes particularly. In fact, the first chapter has become a swan song. " The word "swan song" really deserves it.
