Jia Jian is a folk song of Qin State. It is a love poem, written in the psychology and feelings of an infatuated person in love. It is very real, tortuous and moving. "Jia Jian" is the collective name of reed and reed, both of which are born by the water. "Jian Jian Cang, White Dew is Frost" describes a cool scenery of autumn reeds, vast white dew and thick frost, which secretly reflects the hero's mood at this moment. "The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side", Zhu Xi's Biography of Poetry: "Iraqi people are still the same." Here, it refers to the hero's lover who misses him so much. At present, autumn scenery was originally silent, with long autumn waters and nothing, but because of his worrying thoughts, he seemed to see the right person far away on the other side of the water, so he wanted to pursue her in order to get together. "Going back and forth, the road is blocked and long", the protagonist swims up along the river bank to find the trace of the right person, but there are many obstacles on the road, which is difficult to walk and tortuous and far away. "Follow it and swim in the middle of the water." Then swim in the water to find her, but no matter how the protagonist swims, she can't reach her. She seems to be in the middle of the water forever, just beyond my reach. These words are about the protagonist's illusion. There is always a blurred figure floating in front of her eyes, which seems true or false. No matter whether she is traveling on land or in water, she can't get close to her, as if she is turning around the center of the circle. So he wandered around the water's edge, feeling uneasy. This clearly outlines a hazy artistic conception, describes an obsessive mood, and casts a confused and sentimental mood on the whole poem. The following two chapters only change a few words and sing repeatedly. "Not", not dry. The junction of "Mae" aquatic plants is also the shore. "jump", rise. "Right", tortuous. "Gou" and "Zhi" refer to the highlands and small Zhu in the water.
