Of course, love is not always smooth sailing. It will always encounter various difficulties and stumbling blocks. Similarly, such content is naturally indispensable in poems that reflect love.
Love is easy to say, but it may not be so easy to do it. Sometimes, love always depends on how it is done, how it goes wrong, how it is viewed by others, and how difficult it is. Even if you are completely in love and truly love each other, there will often be some tangled things that hinder the development of the two people.
"The Peacock Flying Southeast" is such a poem. It is not that Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing do not love each other, otherwise, they would not have made the promise about "rock" and "pampas grass" "The love vow, however, the reality is cruel and they still separate them forcefully. First, there was Jiao's mother, who had a lot of trouble. She just didn't like her daughter-in-law and wanted Jiao Zhongqing to divorce her. Jiao Zhongqing is a typical mama's boy who was forced to agree to his mother's suggestion.
But he promised Liu Lanzhi to let her go home and stay for a while, and he would soon convince his mother to take her back. However, another brother Liu happened to appear and insisted on marrying his sister again. someone else.
In the end, Liu Lanzhi chose to "take off her skirt, take off her silk shoes, and go to the clear pool", while Jiao Zhongqing chose to "wander under the tree in the courtyard and hang himself from the southeast branch". The two of them cannot be together in life and die. Later, they were buried together next to Huashan Mountain and turned into a pair of mandarin ducks. From then on, they stayed together and flew together, never to be separated.
"Ask what love is in the world, and teach us how to make love between life and death." Two young lives disappeared, leaving only two drops of cold tears. Two people in love, one turned into a rock of perseverance. , one became a tough pampas grass, and from then on, they cuddled up to each other, waiting for reincarnation.
Of course, there are many times when love is not as beautiful and moving as people imagine, and there will also be heartbroken people and unfaithful lovers. Such themes will naturally be reflected in poems that reflect love. .
As early as the "Book of Songs", we were told such a story that is worth taking a warning. A young girl fell in love with a young man, "Mang". When the two met for the first time, they fell in love with each other. So, Mang began to launch a love offensive, "The gangster embraces cloth and silk. The gangster comes to trade silk." , Come and I will plan for you." When he was pursuing the girl, he was so affectionate.
However, the good times did not last long. After he married the woman he loved, he soon betrayed his love, betrayed his trust, and found a new love. "Women are not happy, and scholars behave differently." "It's nothing but virtue." For such a heartless man, the girl could only look at the moon and sigh.
Coincidentally, the ancient poem "Going up the mountain to collect weeds" also shows us such a character. Moreover, the woman in it was even more unfortunate. She met herself on the way to collect weeds. She asked her ex-husband: "How will the newlyweds be like?" Perhaps she still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that her husband would still miss her in his heart.
As for the man, not only did he not have any regrets, he even compared the new man with the old man without shame, "Although the new man talks well, he is not as good as the old man" and compared the weaver skills of the two. Finally, he came to the conclusion: "The new people are not as good as the old people."
What a cruel man. After meeting the woman he abandoned, not only did he not feel a trace of love, but he also shamelessly compared her with his new love. It can be described as shameless. To the extreme.
It can be seen that there has never been a shortage of figures like Chen Shimei in history.
In addition to the obstruction of others and the change of heart of the lover, there is another reason that also hinders the desire of lovers to join hands for a hundred years, that is, due to various reasons, one party dies early, leaving the other one. Alone, alone.
It’s all about lovesickness, but the lovesickness in this case is even more heartbreaking, because it’s not just a matter of “beautiful women are like flowers separated by clouds”, but that they are separated by yin and yang and will never see each other again. Yes.
