This article is a woman's passionate love confession. She uses spring silkworm as a metaphor, and silk as a metaphor for affection. Like a silkworm spinning silk, she weaves a long thread of emotion that lingers in her heart day and night into a gentle and sweet little world. She does not hesitate to give everything for this situation, because she has a persistent wish in her heart: "lingering has its own time." Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, famously wrote "and the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die", which is based on this.
