Appreciation of works:
In the first chapter of this poem, the birds are singing and falling in love, which arouses the association between ladies and gentlemen. In the following chapters, the hero's crazy lovesickness and pursuit of women are all caused by the act of picking leeks.
The whole poem skillfully adopts the expression of "Xing" in art, and its language is beautiful. Being good at using disyllabic rhymes and overlapping words enhances the beauty of rhymes and the vividness of drawing and imitating sounds.
