works appreciation
Nan Zhou Yao Tao is divided into three chapters. The first chapter compares the youthful charm of the bride with the bright peach blossoms. "Peach flies away" begins with colorful symbolic meaning, and the exquisite peach blossoms that hit the face give the poem a strong sense of color. "Burn out its splendor", it can be said that the peach blossom has reached the extreme, and the beauty can be harsh.
Judging from the relationship between metaphor ontology and metaphor, what is written here is fresh and tender peach blossoms, which are blooming one after another. At the moment, the newly-dressed bride is both excited and shy, and her cheeks are flushed, which really shows the charm of two phases. 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 peach trees are full of fruits, and the peaches are fat and big, which symbolizes that the bride has a baby early and her children and grandchildren are full. 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 of peach branches and the dense shade of peach branches.
