The road is long and blocked. Do you know if the meeting will be safe?
Don’t give up donating, don’t return to the road, and work hard to get more food.
Interpretation: The road is so dangerous and far away, do you know when we want to meet?
There are a lot of things that I don’t want to say in my heart. I just hope that you will take care of yourself and not suffer from hunger or cold.
From "Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing Xing"
Appreciation: This is a song about lovesickness and separation in the turbulent years of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The meaning of these two sentences is that there is no need to say anything more, and I just hope that you will take care of yourself when you are out there. The other sentence means that there is no need to say anything else, and you should work hard to take care of yourself until we meet again in the future. Partners get along day and night, they are both comrades-in-arms and family. The regret and reluctance in their hearts when they are separated, as well as the uncertainty about the future, all have profound meanings.
This is a poem that reflects the sorrow and sorrow of a missing woman. It is one of the "Nineteen Ancient Poems". There are many opinions about the historical background of "Nineteen Ancient Poems". Yuwen Suo'an believed that early Chinese poetry was a copying system and could not find conclusive evidence that "ancient poetry" was earlier than the Jian'an period. Muzhai proposed that most of the "Nineteen Ancient Poems" and the important components of Jian'an poetry were written by Cao Zhi. Li Shan's note in "Selected Works of Zhaoming·Miscellaneous Poems Part 1" explains it very clearly: "It's an ancient poem, so the author is unknown." He also believes that it was written in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which has been the mainstream view since the 20th century. Today's people generally believe that it was not the work of one person at a time, and that it should have been produced in the decades before Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty established Jian'an. As for the specific creation time of "Xing Xing Zhong Xing Xing", it is difficult to verify.
