And plums, actually seven points.
Please don't delay my young people's good day.
You have plums, which is actually three points.
I have a heart to ask my young man not to wait any longer today.
Plums fall to the ground, dustpan will dustpan.
My child, please don't hesitate to ask me.

[analysis]
In ancient novels and dramas, the stories of rich and powerful women throwing hydrangeas to attract their relatives are common, almost reaching a household name. In the more distant era, there is a custom of throwing fruit to choose lang, which few people know. The story of "Plum Blossom" shows people this ancient custom.
According to Li Zhou's Shi Mei, when a man is over 20 years old and a woman is over 15 years old, his parents should arrange marriage for him. If men are over 30 and women are not married after 20, they don't have to obey their parents' orders and matchmakers' words. The government allows them to choose their own partners. "Mid-autumn moon, make men and women, so when also, runners have to. If you do not use the order for no reason, you will be punished. Men and women without husbands will encounter it. " The so-called "runners can't help it" ensures the legalization of elopement from the system. If someone gets in the way, they will be punished.
The government actively advocates unmarried men and women to be together. But how to overcome the barriers of strangers! After reading this poem, you will have a general understanding.
"Plum Blossom" describes an older young woman who, for some unknown reason, missed the best opportunity for men and women to get married, so she joined the team of throwing plums and choosing flowers. She was carrying a basket full of plums. When she saw the man she liked, she threw them out. He shouted at the man on the other side of the river while throwing fruit, which meant a little self-promotion. The poem is divided into three chapters, step by step. While throwing plums at the boys, the girl shouted, "Who proposed to me?" ? There are only 70% squares left in the basket, and no one has responded yet. She shouted anxiously, "don't miss the good opportunity, young man who pursues me." It doesn't seem to work well. Plums are thrown out one by one, leaving only 30% in the basket. She was even more anxious and shouted, "Young man, now is a good opportunity." I often call, but few people answer. Say a few words inaccurately, but actually there is no response. Finally, the whole basket of plums was thrown away, and none of the boys responded. The girl almost cried out in despair: "Why doesn't the young man who pursues me speak?" What is the final result? Is it joy or disappointment? The poet didn't say, and the answer was left to the reader. There is no need to express the tragedy too fully. Not every reader is nervous, so it is better to leave some room for imagination.
The layering of this poem is commendable. Most of the poems in The Book of Songs are in the form of complex sentences, and this poem is no exception. The poem consists of three chapters, each of which has the words "I have a plum blossom" and "I beg an ordinary person". "seven Xi's" and "three Xi's"; Only the sentences of "Ji", "Ji" and "Ji" have been slightly adjusted. The change of individual words in chapter selection is usually a rhetorical device, and there is not much difference in meaning. This poem is different, the words have changed, and the content has changed, forming a step-by-step form. There are "actually seven Xi's" and "actually three With's". With the change, there are fewer and fewer plums in the basket, but the girl's anxiety is escalating in the opposite direction. When there were no plums in the basket, the girl almost despaired. The content of her crying is more and more urgent with the decrease of plums. From the auspicious day of the zodiac to today, and from today to this time, it is as tight as a step until it is urgent. Someone translated the last two sentences into "whoever has the heart to pursue me, just say a word." Although we can't say how accurate the translation is, the girl's anxiety and helplessness at that time were vividly displayed.
This poem is also very distinctive in cutting. Compared with the six essential elements of prose, this story omits the time, place, background and cause and effect, leaving only a close-up of a group of girls throwing plums and choosing cymbals, which is clean and neat, without any nonsense.
