The true meaning of Jia Jian

Jia Jian expressed a disappointment that talents are hard to find, lovers are hard to find, and even the future is bleak and the ideal cannot be realized. The whole poem is permeated with the lyric hero's sincere yearning and persistent pursuit of the Iraqi people, as well as the disappointment and melancholy that he can't pursue.

Qin Feng Jia San is a poem in The Book of Songs, the first poetry collection in ancient China. Modern scholars generally believe that it is a love song, which describes the melancholy and depression that people love but can't reach, and creates a wonderful realm of people falling in love with autumn water. The whole poem consists of three chapters, and the last two chapters are only slightly changed compared with the first chapter, which forms the internal rhythm harmony of each chapter, and the uneven rhythm between chapters also leads to the semantic reciprocating advancement.
