The love poems in The Book of Songs are warm, romantic, pure and natural, and they are spiritual exchanges and emotional collisions. Many love poems in later generations are flashy and artificial, and their literary value is far less than that of The Book of Songs. The love poems in The Book of Songs are extremely beautiful, pleasing to the eye and touching.
There is no flowery rhetoric or extravagant decoration in this poem, but the oath slowly coming from indifference shocks everyone; Vigorous may be the beginning of love, but peace is always the destination of love. "Hold your hand and grow old with your son" seems simple. How many people have really done it through the ages? Time flies, youth is getting old, but having a pair of hands to hold around may be the greatest happiness in life.
Simple and direct, without melodramatic concealment; The yearning for beautiful women is naturally revealed, and the faint anxiety that can't be obtained in the imagination of the future is overwhelming, so that every man or woman who secretly loves can find his own shadow in this poem. The reason why this poem fascinates everyone is that it replaces the description of love with illusory beauty;
All passionate pursuits, anxious desires, and hard waiting have disappeared in a fog; The faint sadness and the bleak autumn make people feel involuntarily lost. I happened to think of the mythical lyrics "The fire on the stove swaying in the wind will never go out". I don't know if there will be a "fire that will never go out", but it is really like a "fire on the stove swaying in the wind", swaying and unpredictable.
