He took care of him, but he didn't see him all day, just like him.
He loves Xi. He hasn't seen me for a day, as if he were only three years old.
1920 A vernacular poem written by Mr. Liu Bannong when he was in London, originally entitled "Love Song" and later entitled "Teach me how not to think about her". Since then, a beautiful member-"She", especially the third person of a woman, has been added to the rich and huge treasure house of Chinese characters. The appellation has finally achieved equality between men and women, and "she" is unique, gentle and intelligent. See "there are a few clouds floating in the sky and a few breezes blowing on the ground." -Teach me how to miss her? At night, watching the moonlight rise and shine on the sea,-teach me how to miss her? See the fish playing freely in the water, see the swallow-teach me how to miss her? See "Dead trees shake in the cold wind and wildfires burn in the dusk." -Teach me how to miss her? In my eyes, my heart is full of her, giving people the daydream of "missing you thousands of miles away", and my heart is full of ardent thoughts that have never stopped for a moment.
"The Book of Songs" has long sung such lovesickness. "He picks pueraria lobata Xi", that is, pueraria lobata whose skin can be made into fiber weaving. This plant "was born in early summer and picked in midsummer", with an interval of three months. Therefore, it is most appropriate to take the initiative to "see a day, such as March".
"Petai Creek", Xiao, also known as Artemisia, has a fragrance. The ancients used oil to ignite in rituals for sacrifice. This kind of plant is usually harvested in autumn, so it is called "If you don't see it for a day, it's like Sanqiu Xi".
"Ai Xi", Ai and Ye can be used as medicine. Mencius said that "it takes three years to get sick for seven years". Only if it is preserved for three years can it have the effect of treating diseases. When I was three years old, it was called "I haven't seen you for a day, as if I were three years old."
In ancient times, picking kudzu, picking Xiao and picking Ai were all done by women, so the protagonist of this short poem is probably a woman. There is also an understanding that men may see Ge, Xiao and Ai in the right season, and think that the woman they like may be busy picking at this time, thus creating associations.
Is it March? Sanqiu is three years old again? No, not for a day. Such a sketch, "No See" left us a lot of imagination. The poet's "absence" is a farewell after seeing, and "not seeing for a day" is a whole day. It's that I missed you in my dream but didn't really meet you. I miss you every day. I don't expect people who missed it to hear it, but I can't imprison such an idea. It's just a few words to myself, and there is no need to say more. No love, no exquisiteness, this intention, only I understand, is enough.
Later generations often use this poem, but the most familiar one is "I don't see Sanqiu for a day", while "March" and "three years old" are not common, not because of the length of missing, but "autumn". "Autumn has been sad since ancient times", and sadness is autumn in my heart. At first glance, what color is autumn? In Du Fu's eyes, the yellow color of the leaves dripped down like the spray of a waterfall. In Ma Zhiyuan's eyes, it is the dark gray of the small bridge flowing water; In Mao Zedong's eyes, it is "full of river red, full of forest dye" green blood red. What does "Sanqiu" look like in Brother Cai? Perhaps it is the appearance of "not seeing for a day". The same blank, the same sadness, the same poetry, "Sanqiu" is the most appropriate.
Teach me how to think about her!
