The word "picking" in ancient poetry can be interpreted as "picking" or "all kinds" as far as other articles in the Book of Songs are concerned. Some people think that the former explanation is too repetitive, so they choose the second one. But it is unreasonable to say that plantain is "diverse", or it should be "collected".
There are many folk songs in the Book of Songs in the form of overlapping sentences, but there is no other one with so many overlapping sentences as in the Book of Songs. The third sentence of the first chapter repeats the first sentence, and the fourth sentence repeats the second sentence; The second and third chapters repeat the first chapter, only changing the verbs.
There are twelve sentences in the whole poem, and six verbs are used: Cai, You, Duo, Le, Wan,. Yes, take it and start picking it; Connect; Brush it and wipe it from the stem in handfuls; Holding a skirt to pack things; Put your skirt between your belts to take things (more than holding your skirt). There are three chapters and twelve sentences in the whole poem. Only these six verbs are constantly changing, and the rest are overlapping. This sense of stacking shows the process of picking more and more plantain seeds until they return home with a full load.
This repeated singing method has a lively rhythm and a brisk mood, which shows the scene of women's labor, a happy mood and the joy of returning home with a full load. Originally, the content of this poem can only be explained in one sentence: I picked it. This seemingly monotonous overlap has produced a simple, lively and reciprocating sense of music. This sense of music can stimulate readers' feelings, and with repeated chanting, readers can appreciate and feel the beautiful artistic conception of poetry. Fang Yurun, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, said in the Primitive Book of Songs: "Readers try to calm down and recite this poem, listening to the women of the Tian family, the 3355, the plain embroidery field, the beautiful wind, the group songs answering each other, and the lingering sound. If you are far away from the horizon, you don't know how your feelings move and why you are so vague, then this poem need not be concealed. "
