I haven't seen you for a day, like March!
He chooses Xiao Xi, but he doesn't see you for a day, like Sanqiu Xi!
I haven't seen you all day, as if I were only three years old!
The length of this poem is short, and it only shows an eager lovesickness, and there is no specific content, so there is a great controversy about the theme of this poem in the old society. The Preface to Mao's Poems is considered as "fear", and the so-called "if you don't see it for a day, you will be worried"; Zhu's Biography of Poems denounced it as a "lascivious" poem; Wu Maoqing's "Records of Mao Poetry Retro" holds that picking Ge, Xiao and Ai is a metaphor for cultivating talents at ordinary times. "An urgent day is like March"; Mou Ting's poem "Scissors" is also said to be "stabbing people to marry ... drowning their colors. If you don't see it for a day, you will think of it as March "; Fang Yurun thinks this is a poem that cherishes friends and cherishes the distant past. In the original text of The Book of Songs, it is said that "the friendship between husband and wife is like lovers. Once they are far away, they can't miss each other. This is a profound friendship, so they have the feeling of March, and Sanqiu is three years older! " In modern times, Wen Yiduo pointed out that "gathering is a woman's business, where women are pregnant and men are pregnant", and many people have said so since then.
The whole poem consists of three chapters, each with only three sentences. Repeatedly reciting by overlapping, only a few words change in overlapping. Comparing a day to "March, Sanqiu, three years old" shows the depth of missing. The sense of time is one of the most important factors in narration and lyricism. From the sense of time, we can see the hero's mood. Happy days are always quick, but painful torture is always long. By comparing the psychological time with the actual time, this poem greatly prolongs the psychological time and depicts the anxiety of lovers in love looking forward to meeting again. However, this yearning is very different from the anxiety of thinking about women and caring about people. This is not pain, but sweet waiting. Therefore, the poet directly expressed his thoughts in this straightforward and concise language, and three sentences of compound sentence were hearty.
Therefore, the idiom "Sanqiu in one day" is full of poetry. At the same time, this poem also influenced the creation of later literati. Liu Yong has a famous sentence "Time flies" in his own tune "Strange Stone", which is probably influenced by this poem.
