The author's intention to put this poem into the high school Chinese textbook is also very clear. The high school campus is full of boys and girls aged seventeen or eighteen, and it is not uncommon for them to collide with each other for a spark of love.
Instead of deifying this love through Guan Ju and Jia Jian to make students yearn for it more, it is better to teach these children a lesson with poetry so that they will not be carried away by love and become more rational.
So this poem is not against puppy love, but tells these children to establish a correct view of love. Instead of being weak, stubborn or even naive, the flower of love that should be open and gorgeous withers early.
works appreciation
In this poem, the woman who fell in love was abandoned. This, of course, is the result of the man "Meng" giving up on himself at the beginning, but it is actually closely related to the woman's own personality defects and attitude towards love.
Although from the first half of the narrative, the two have a sweet love, but it also shows that the woman's imagination of love is too beautiful, blinded by the honest surface of "self-protection." "Self-protection" seems to be a loyal and trustworthy person, but it is actually just the self-feeling of the hostess.
Judging from later poems, the reason why a woman entrusts herself to self-protection is because the other party swore an oath to him. It's secular to say something before and after the flowers, but it's also human nature. I'm just afraid that the other party will say these things just to please her.
