The Hanshui River is so vast that it is impossible to cross it. The river is so long that it is impossible to take a raft.
The firewood was mixed with wood, and the twigs of Vitex negundo were cut down with a knife. The girl is getting married, so feed the horse quickly.
Firewood is thick, and wormwood is cut with a knife. The girl is getting married, so feed the foal quickly.
This is a popular folk love song in the Hanshui River Valley, which describes the depressed mood of a man who loves a woman but can't get it. Fang Yurun once wrote in the Primitive Book of Songs: "In the first chapter, it is said that trees are lush for firewood; The second time is about Chu, which is the front of the topic; It is a bit pedantic to generalize the theme of "Han Guang" as "Jiang Gan Bridge Singing" and deny the essence of his love poems. However, there are hints about the process of firewood collection in the poem, which have both written basis and labor experience. So generally speaking, the lyric hero is interpreted as a young woodcutter.
The whole poem consists of three chapters, the first chapter is independent, and the last two chapters are repeated, all of which adopt the method of comparison.
The first chapter uses four metaphors in succession, which shows that the right person can't pursue it. As the old saying goes, the "wandering girl" is interpreted as the goddess of Hanshui, and then this poem is described as a poem praising the goddess of Hanshui, just as Mrs. Hexiang in Chu Ci praised the goddess of Xiangshui. But judging from the content of this poem, it seems more reasonable to regard the goddess of Hanshui as a metaphor. Mr. Wen Yiduo said: "The metaphor of unattainable people with unattainable goddesses is the first sound in Luo Shenfu." That makes sense.
The second and third chapters describe the dreamland of infatuation: one day, a "wandering girl" wants to marry me and feed the horse first; The "little girl" will marry me one day, feed the pony and pull the cart. However, the illusion will eventually be shattered. He closed his eyes and turned a cavity of selfish desires into a beautiful fantasy, but when he opened his eyes, all he saw was the vast Han River. Falling back to reality from a beautiful fantasy, he can only lament: "Han Haohan is boundless and incredible." Jiang Zhiyong, don't think about it. "
The last four sentences of each chapter of this poem are not easy to repeat. Sing three sighs and follow the chapter. The first chapter expresses the hero's yearning for the woman he loves, while the duet of "Han Guang" and "Jiang Yong" in the last two chapters is Long song's crying after disillusionment, which renders his infinite disappointment that he is not satisfied. Compared with the first song, it really makes a man feel sad.
