Look:
The willow-green river is wide and flat, and I heard the song of the river.
Rain in the east, sunrise in the east, said it was not sunny, but it was still sunny.
Liu Yuxi's Zhuzhi Ci
The title of this poem is Zhuzhici, a classic poem written by Liu Yuxi about love. Its theme expresses the inner activities of a first-love girl who heard her lover's song in a beautiful spring, with green willows and a mirror-like river.
"Willow is green, and you can smell Langjiang songs", which means that the willow river is wide and you can smell lovers' river songs.
Willow green Jiang Shuiping, I smell Langjiang songs.
"Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, but sunny on the road" means that it rains in the west and sunrise in the east, saying it is sunny but sunny.
Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the road is sunny but sunny.
The beginning of this poem is called "Willow Green Jiang Shuiping", which is a popular technique commonly used in general poetry. First, write the scenery you see, and then introduce emotional expression. The first article I wrote was a willow by the river, which was clearly in mid-spring. Spring breeze blowing through Yang Liuan can arouse people's emotions best. This is the background.
Liu Yuxi's most famous love poems
So the next step is naturally: "Smell the songs on the Langjiang River", the scenery is not charming enough, and the singing hook is the most moving. This sentence was written by a girl who is in love with spring. When she heard her lover's song, her heart rose and fell.
The last two sentences: "Sunrise in the east, sunset in the west, the road is sunny but sunny", set up two clever metaphors and used semantic puns. Sunrise is sunny in the east and rain is sunny in the west. "Sunny" and "sentimental" are homophonic, and "sunny" and "sunny" are the code words of "sentimental" and "heartless". So after listening to this, this girl felt elusive at first. I wonder if the other person really has feelings for me? The mood is fluctuating and uneasy.
Love Poem
But the last sentence, "Tao is sunny, sunny", proves the deep affection of her lover, and she can't help feeling happy. So the most subtle thing about this poem lies in its semantic pun, which not only describes the rainy weather on the river, but also subtly depicts the girl's confusion, attachment and hope.

China's ancient poems always take implication as beauty. In order to express moral, homophonic method is also commonly used. Obviously, this poem provides a good example. This poem uses the changeable spring weather as a pun, and uses "sunny" to express "love", which has implicit beauty and is very natural for expressing women's shyness.
