Why did the ancients write love poems so implicitly?

Take The Book of Songs, China's first poetry collection, as an example, which contains many sentences describing love. The "innocent" love described in the Book of Songs is also pure and incomparable. "Jane Jane warehouse, the millennium is frost. The so-called Iraqi people, the water side, follow it back, the road is long. Swimming back from it, in the middle of the water? "

This poem shows us such a picture. Two people who love each other, separated by a curved river, are thinking about each other and that person, just like Qianshan. However, if you really want to be with each other and cross the circuitous water, it will not be so easy to reach the other side. Coincidentally, there is also a famous poem in later generations, which reflects its very similar content: "You live at the head of the Yangtze River, and I live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you day and night and drink it all at once."

Among Qu Yuan's works, there are also many such works, such as Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang, which describe the deep thoughts and faint sadness between Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang. "Yuan You? I dare not speak out when I think of my son. " What a subtle and sincere emotion it is.

The ancients were different from modern people. Without our convenient transportation and communication equipment, modern people will miss each other no matter how far apart they are. As long as they make a phone call, they can hear each other's voice, send text messages and go to QQ. There are many ways to communicate.
