works appreciation
This is a love song that men pursue and women can't get. The lyric hero loves a beautiful girl, but it is always difficult to get what he wants, and his feelings are tangled and he can't get rid of it. Facing the vast river, he sang this touching poem and poured out his melancholy. The characters in the poem are vivid and the logic of the poem is rigorous.
The opening sentences of the three chapters of the whole poem vividly imply the labor process of young woodcutter as a lyric hero cutting firewood for reward. Therefore, Fang Yurun summarized the theme of Nan Zhou Hanguang as "Jianggan Bridge Singing" and denied the essence of his love poems, which is still pedantic. But the rising sentence implies the process of collecting firewood, which has both written basis and labor experience.
