Yao Tao is one of The Book of Songs, National Style and Nan Zhou. It is a wedding song, that is, a song to send the bride. On the wedding day, the bridesmaid saw the bride out, and everyone walked around the bride to the groom's house, singing: "Peach flies away and burns its splendor …" The bright red peach blossom is more beautiful than the bride's beautiful face. How can the family be unhappy when they marry such a girl? Peach trees full of fruits are a metaphor that the bride will have more children for her husband's family (the old idea of having more children and more happiness), so that the husband's family can prosper. Peach trees with dense branches and leaves will make the family prosperous forever. Throughout, red peach blossoms, plump and delicious peach fruits and lush peach leaves are used to compare the beautiful youth of newlyweds, wishing their love as beautiful as peach blossoms and as evergreen as peach trees. This poem adopts the method of chapter by chapter, each chapter has the same structure, only a few words are replaced, so it is praised repeatedly and the rhyme is still in the ear; Beautiful words are integrated with the beauty of the bride and the joy of love, which very aptly renders the festive atmosphere of the wedding.
Creation background
As for the background of this poem, Preface to Mao Shi thinks it is related to empresses and kings. Fang Yurun refuted this view in the Primitive Book of Songs, saying that it was "too pedantic to be poetic". Modern scholars generally don't hold the view of Preface to Mao's Poems, thinking that it is a poem to congratulate a girl on her marriage. Some people also put forward a new view that this poem is the lyrics of ancestors' exorcism sacrifice, and its content is to exorcise ghosts and gods, make them return to their homes, and pray for their protection of their closest relatives on earth.
Artistic feature
The first two sentences of each chapter are happy sentences of the whole poem, with the branches, flowers, leaves and reality of peach trees as the theme, celebrating the prime of life of men and women and getting married in time. Yao Jiheng's General Theory of the Book of Songs in Qing Dynasty: "Peach blossom is the most beautiful, so it is regarded as a metaphor for women, and ancient poetry regards it as the ancestor of beauty." This image was repeatedly used by later poets. Repeated sentences and repeated praises are used in the poem, which is more integrated into the atmosphere of the wedding and sets off the happy life of the newlyweds, which not only embodies the style of folk songs, but also embodies the characteristics of the countryside. "Wen Xin Diao Long": "Therefore, peach blossoms are rarely in the shape of' burning',' Yi Yi' is like a willow,' Dun' is like a sunrise ..." In short, although this poem is not long, it has its own unique personality, which embodies the unique customs and habits of our ancestors' society and nourishes the literary creation of later generations.
