Caige is a poem in The Book of Songs, the first collection of poems in ancient China. This poem expresses an eager yearning, and there are always different views, such as lust, fear of slander, caring for friends and thinking of women. Today, it is mostly interpreted as a poem about missing a lover. The whole poem consists of three chapters, each with three sentences. The poet's exaggerated description of psychological activities is very distinctive.
This is a poem about missing a lover. Ge is used for weaving, Xiao is used for offering sacrifices, and Ai is used for treating diseases. All women are working hard. A man misses his lover for a day, such as Sanqiu (month, year). It is said that a day will be as long as three months, three seasons or even three years, which is of course the difference between physical time and psychological time.
In this perverse way, I just want to express his desire and depth. Lovers in love want to be together day and night, and separation is extremely painful for them. The so-called "parting with new acquaintances and worrying about new ones", even if it is a short separation, seems to be too long for him or her to bear.
The three chapters of this poem capture the most common and torturous emotions that everyone can understand. After repeated reciting, only a few words change in overlapping, and more and more intense feelings of missing one's lover are vividly displayed.
The second chapter uses "autumn" instead of "spring", "summer" and "winter" to represent seasons, because autumn plants shake down and the autumn wind is bleak, which is easy to produce feelings of parting, which is consistent with the artistic conception of the whole poem.
Appreciation of pueraria lobata picking;
There is no nonsense about love in the whole poem, and there is no specific description of love. It just expresses the feeling of missing, but it can be passed down through the ages. Later generations condensed this feeling into the idiom "Sanqiu in one day". Regarding the mystery of the artistic appeal of this poem, Jiang Lifu once analyzed that "beauty lies in illogical language" in On the Implicit Beauty of Feng Poetry.
It means: from the scientific concept of time, three months, three seasons and three years are equal to "one day", which is unreasonable, but from the poetic lyricism, it is a reasonable artistic exaggeration. The lover's psychological experience of time in love is reasonable. The difference of one day gradually extends to March, Sanqiu and three years in his or her mind.
This psychological illusion of natural time truly reflects their inseparable love. This absurd "psychological time" seems to be an idiot and crazy, but it can be fascinating and arouse the emotions of readers of different times, because it has been integrated into their unbounded love.
