To annotate ...

Distinguish and appreciate
In the past, this poem was interpreted as a stab at "abandoning learning", saying that "you don't study in troubled times". Later, it was understood as a song in which a woman misses her lover. The latter is an explanation that still exists today. But in fact, this poem should be described as a girl's mood when she meets the spring god.
This poem consists of three chapters. The second chapter is the repetition of the first chapter. That is to say, in the first chapter, the "green fern" is regarded as a symbol of spring scenery, and the girl's expectation of the arrival of the spring god is expressed in a calling tone. This mood is the theme of the whole article. The second chapter is written in the form of repeating the first chapter, but the expectation is stronger than the first chapter. The third chapter is a turning point, which indicates that the spring god finally came to the gate. Here is a comprehensive explanation of the girl's lovesickness. Especially in the first two sentences, girls cheered from the bottom of their hearts. But also played a relay role from the static state in the first half to the dynamic state in the second half, making the poem more vivid and touching.
It can be seen that this is a love song dedicated to the spring god, and it can also be said to be a Spring Festival song.
Winter in the north is cold and long, and spring comes late. From the local psychology, the girl's mood is very representative.
In ancient China, it was believed that the four seasons were controlled by immortals and changed alternately. Ji Zi is a poem about the custom that has become a sacrificial activity. In the era after the Book of Songs, every spring day, there is also the custom that the son of heaven raises the green flag and wears blue shirts to greet the gods in the eastern suburbs, or that young people in winter clothes from outside the eastern suburbs enter the city, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
In addition, there have always been different interpretations of Outside the East Gate, a collection of Zheng Feng and Zi Jin. In recent years, it has also been pointed out that this is a song to send off the spring, echoing Zi Jin from afar.
