1. Creation background
"You Thinking" is the name of Han Yuefu's "Zhao Ge". The first sentence "You Thinking" is used as the title of the chapter, describing a woman and her lover. Sadness at farewell. In the Southern Dynasties, Liu Hui, Wang Rong, Emperor Jian Wen, Wang Yun, etc. of Qi Dynasty all made drafts, mostly with the theme of missing relatives and leaving. Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, was inspired by the poems written by literati at the same time and composed this poem.
2. Appreciation
This poem is cleverly conceived, and the first two sentences are unusually written. It starts from the fact that the separation was not long ago, and the parting was not painful, that is, it should not miss the lovesickness or not miss the lovesickness very much. , and then transitioned into a more painful period of longing for each other, which is different from the long-term and painful farewell routine, in order to show that the love for the wife is deeper and the meaning is more sincere. The feelings of lovesickness evoked by smelling the fragrance of clothes, seeing letters, and touching objects are naturally transformed. Continuing with the previous chapter, he writes about the depth of memories lingering in the soul and dreams, making the feeling of remembrance deepen gradually.
From a structural point of view, there are only eight sentences in the whole poem, which are divided into two levels: the first four sentences are about "life and departure" not long ago, just like yesterday, and I miss you deeply; the last four sentences are about desire and "the same heart knot" "And "not enduring the break" shows the pain of longing, which is quite similar to the feeling of "the heart of spring is full of blooming flowers, every inch of lovesickness and every inch of gray". The front and back layers are tightly structured and integrated, expressing the elusive and unattainable worries. It is a masterpiece of poetry describing the love between men and women such as "Thinking".
