The whole poem is about a man's yearning and pursuit of women, his anxiety and happiness that he can't get.
The main performance of this poem is the so-called "Xing", that is, to arouse what is sung from other scenery as a sustenance. This is a euphemistic and implicit expression. Such a poem is based on the dove's "loyalty and difference", and a lady should be worthy of a gentleman; Miss with poor leek flow is hard to find; And leek are also "pick" and "win", and miss and miss are also "friends" and "happy". The advantage of this technique is that it has far-reaching influence and can produce more than enough effect.
This poem also adopts some repetitive chapters to enhance the harmonious beauty of poetry tone and the vividness of describing characters. Such as "uneven water chestnut, flowing from left to right", "uneven water chestnut, picking from left to right", "My fair lady is welcome" and "My fair lady is friends with harps". Repeat for the first time, showing men's desire for it. So every repetition is a continuation of the story and a sublimation of emotion.
As for the metaphor, the first sentence is associated with the fact that the girl who picks pheasants may be a waterfowl of the person she likes, and then the pheasant dove's begging for fish symbolizes the man's courtship. Han Confucianism regards the pheasant dove as a virgin bird, and explains that Guan Guan pheasant dove is a male and female singer to symbolize the harmony between husband and wife. This metaphor has also influenced the history of China for more than two thousand years.
