Third, appreciate:

The whole poem is divided into three chapters. The first chapter compares the youthful charm of the bride with the bright peach blossoms. It is often said that the first person to compare flowers with beauty is a genius, the second is a mediocrity and the third is a fool. The Book of Songs is China's first collection of poems, so it is no exaggeration to say that it compares beauty with flowers for the first time. Since then, flowers, especially peach blossoms, have been used to describe the endless stream of beautiful women, such as Ruan Wei's "Love for Flowers in the Past": "Every day, peaches and plums bloom and shine brightly." Hu's "South Village of Jingcheng": "Last year today, at this gate, people's faces and peaches set each other off." Song Chen Shidao's "Bodhisattva Man" words: "Jade wrist pillow fragrant cheeks, peach blossom face open." Have their own characteristics. Naturally, it can't be dismissed as mediocrity and stupidity, but they are all influenced by the poem "The Book of Songs", but the influence is great and small, and the application is clever. What is written here is the fresh peach blossom, which blooms in succession. The newly-married girl in full dress is excited and shy at the moment, and her cheeks are flushed. It is really a peach blossom with a face and charm. There are both descriptions of scenery and characters in the poem, and the scene blends with each other, setting off a happy and warm atmosphere. This kind of scene can be seen even at today's rural wedding. The second chapter is to express my wishes after marriage. Peach blossoms bear fruit naturally. The poet said that its fruit was fat and big, symbolizing that the bride had a baby early and raised a fat doll for nothing. The third chapter wishes the bride's family prosperity with lush peach leaves. It is the most beautiful metaphor and the best tribute to symbolize the happiness of the newly married bride's married life with the fruit with numerous peach branches and the dense shade of peach branches. Zhu's Biography of Poems thinks that each chapter is "Xing", which is reasonable, but it is indeed a comparison between Xing and Xing to play with poems carefully. The poem consists of three chapters, each of which starts with a peach, followed by flowers, fruits and leaves, with distinct levels: from flowers to fruits, and then from fruits to Ye Sheng; Poetry also gradually changes, adapting to the growth of peach blossoms, and naturally blending into one.

After singing the peach blossom, the poet gave a congratulatory message in the spoken language at that time. The first chapter says, "When a son comes home, he must stay at home." That is to say, this girl is going to get married and have a family with Mei Mei. The second and third chapters are changed to "home" and "family" because of rhyme, but there is little difference in meaning. In ancient times, men took women as their rooms, women took men as their homes, and men and women combined to form families. A woman's marriage is the beginning of a family. Zhu's Biography of Poetry explains: "One of them is suitable, and the meaning of harmony is also. The room is where the couple live, and the home is within a door. " In fact, it means that the newlyweds' small home is the room, but they are at home with their parents. Nowadays, the interpretation of modern language is family-specific, which is easier for ordinary readers to understand.

This language is extremely beautiful and refined. Not only skillfully turn it into various inverted sentences and synonyms, but also use the word "one" repeatedly. The word "one" reveals the beautiful character of the newly-married bride living in harmony with her family, and also writes that her beautiful character has injected fresh blood into the newly-built family and brought a harmonious and happy atmosphere. The word "Yi" can hardly be replaced by one word when it hits the floor.

Fourth, the story behind it:

Yao Tao is one of The Book of Songs, National Style and Nan Zhou. It is a wedding song, that is, a song to send the bride. On the wedding day, the bridesmaid sent the bride out, and everyone walked around the bride to the groom's house, singing: "Peach blossoms wither and burn its glory …" The red peach blossoms are more beautiful than the bride's beautiful appearance. How can the family be unhappy when they marry such a girl? Peach trees full of fruits are a metaphor that the bride will have more children for her husband's family (the old idea of having more children and more happiness), so that the husband's family can prosper. Peach trees with dense branches and leaves will make the family prosperous forever. Throughout, red peach blossoms, plump and delicious peach fruits and lush peach leaves are used to compare the beautiful youth of newlyweds, wishing their love as beautiful as peach blossoms and as evergreen as peach trees. This poem adopts the method of overlapping chapters and sentences, and each chapter has the same structure, only replacing a few words, so it is repeatedly praised and lingering; Beautiful words are integrated with the beauty of the bride and the joy of love, which very aptly renders the festive atmosphere of the wedding.
