Today or later, I will meet this beloved person. This is a classic poem in "The Book of Songs", which comes from "Preparation".
Translated in current words, it probably means: What a wonderful night tonight, I unexpectedly met such a beauty. The beloved here can refer to both women and men.
This is a folk song that was widely circulated in the Jin region in the pre-Qin era. It was included in "Cui Miao" and later included in "The Book of Songs", the first collection of poems in ancient China. The full text of this poem can be divided into three chapters, each chapter consisting of six lines of poetry. From ancient times to the present, there has been no controversy about this poem. They all believe that the content of the poem is a description of people's marriage in ancient times. Some of the language in the poem is joking and less formal, so there is reason to believe that it was written to describe the bridal chamber arrangements for the bride and groom in ancient times. The structure of each chapter is relatively unified, starting with the first two sentences. By describing the joy of the bride and groom entering the bridal chamber, the author expresses the enviable love between the two, which is warm and sweet.
The whole poem can be understood in modern terms: There is a bundle of firewood in front of me, and a few stars in the sky are twinkling. What a wonderful night tonight, I unexpectedly met such a beauty. I want to ask you, how should you treat such a good person? There is a bundle of grass in front of me, and a few stars are twinkling in the southeast. Tonight was such a wonderful night, I spent such a pleasant time. I want to ask you, how do you spend this good time? Oh, the thorns are tightly tied in front of me, and the stars in the sky are shining on the door. Today is such a beautiful night and I am so excited to meet such a beauty. I want to ask you, how do you love such a beauty?
Generally speaking, this poem describes the fun that ancient couples had with each other when entering the wedding night, giving readers a very warm and sweet feeling.
