Love in The Book of Songs

The Book of Songs is the earliest collection of poems and the beginning of China's ancient poems, which collected poems from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. There are also many parts about love. Personally, I think love in the Book of Songs is the most beautiful. Here are 10 songs, let's enjoy them together!

0 1. Life and death are widespread, Zi Cheng said. Hold your hand and grow old with your son.

_ _ _ _ "The Book of Songs, High Wind and Drumming"

Where will you go, anyway, I swore an oath to you. Hold your hand and grow old with your son.

Appreciation: Guo Feng Gaofeng Drumming is a typical war poem in the Book of Songs, the first poetry collection in ancient China. Many people know that "holding your hand and growing old with your son" is a description of love. In fact, what it originally wanted to express was the feelings of mutual encouragement and sharing life and death among soldiers in the war. Later, it was used by many people to express a lasting love.

02. The peach flew away, burning with its brilliance. The girl is going to get married and be happy at her husband's house.

Peach trees are lush and full of flowers. This girl is married, which will make the family smooth and happy.

Appreciation: This is a poem to congratulate the wedding. "True Beauty" describes the girl's beautiful face with the brilliance of peach blossoms, and "Suitable for Her Family" describes the man's satisfaction with the girl. There is not much embellishment in the whole poem, just like love, it is simple and plain. Simplicity is not only a realm of life, but also an artistic realm and the highest realm.

03. In the past, I was gone, and the willows were reluctant. The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and people are thirsty and hungry.

_ _ _ _ "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Cai Wei"

Recalling the first expedition, Yangliuyiyi blew with the wind. Now on the way back, the snow is flying all over the sky.

Appreciation: willow symbolizes reluctance, and at the same time uses rain and snow to describe the desolation of returning. This poem perfectly describes a soldier's mixed feelings when he leaves the army. These four sentences are symmetrical, vivid and profound. At the same time, they attract feelings like scenes, and also contain affection for children, suggesting the cruelty of war.

04. The green purple stripes are lingering in my heart. If I didn't go to see you, didn't you receive my letter?

_ _ _ _ "The Book of Songs Zheng Feng Ji Zi"

Green is your collar, and leisure is my mood. Even though I didn't go to see you, didn't you receive my letter?

Appreciation: Throughout the ages, long-distance love is a painful thing. This poem is about a woman's unrequited love and describes a woman's longing for her sweetheart. Every time I see something green, a woman will think of her sweetheart's green collar and jade. So she boarded the tower, just to see the trace of her sweetheart. If one day she can't see it, she will feel as if it is once every three months. May all long-distance relationships in the world overcome time and distance.

05. The storm is gloomy and the chickens crow constantly. How can I be unhappy when I see you in the wind and rain?

_ _ _ _ "The Book of Songs Zheng Feng Storm"

It's stormy and dark, and the cock crows outside the window. How can I be unhappy when I see you in the storm?

Appreciation: This is a deeply emotional love poem. They all say, "It's the hardest to come with old friends." In the darkest and most difficult time of your life, the person you want to see most appears in front of you. Is this the best thing in your life?

06. There was a beautiful young man with good manners. It's perfect for me to meet a real coincidence.

_ _ _ _ "The Book of Songs, National Style and Zheng Feng"

There is a beautiful girl whose eyes are looking forward to flirting. It was love at first sight when we met today.

Appreciation: This poem is about very romantic and free love. When I meet a beautiful woman, I fall in love at first sight, and hide in the depths of Fanglin hand in hand, just like a pair of free and happy birds. When they are in harmony, they are both in fly with me. Love at first sight is probably the most romantic thing in the world.

I love you, but I don't care if I am far away. The center hides it and forgets it every day.

_ _ _ _ "The Book of Songs Xiaoya Sanchi"

I have a deep love in my heart, but I want to say goodbye. Keep these loves in your heart, when can you forget them?

Appreciation: Originally, she loved her sweetheart deeply, but she was afraid to express her love to each other. She had to hide this love in her heart and bear it alone. This probably means unrequited love. There are too many people in this world who like to keep a feeling in their hearts. When you meet someone you like, you can boldly express your feelings. Whatever the outcome, at least you won.

08. Out of its east gate, there are women like clouds. Although there are many clouds, I think of people.

_ _ _ _ "The Book of Songs Zheng Feng Out of the East Gate"

I walked out of the east gate and saw a group of women. Although there are many women, they are not my sweetheart.

Appreciation: The hero in the poem is also a flesh-and-blood person. In the face of so many beautiful women, I'm afraid even dead wood and stubborn stone will be fascinated. This single-minded attitude towards love, "I only take a scoop of water, even if the water is very light", is particularly valuable in that era when men and women are relatively free and open. No matter past or present, if you meet such a man, marry him!

09. The Millennium is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the water side.

_ _ _ _ "The Book of Songs, National Style and Qin Feng"

The reeds by the river are blue, and the dew in late autumn condenses into frost. The person I miss day and night is on the other side of the river.

Appreciation: Is The Other Side of the Water really the other side of the river? This is just a poet's daydream. But the protagonist firmly believes that this is true and spares no effort to pursue her. As the saying goes, you are my expectation and contradictory dream, and I can't catch the wind.

10. Guan Guan Luo Gui, in Hezhou. Ladies make gentlemen.

_ _ _ _ "The Book of Songs Nan Zhou Guanju"

Guan Guan and Ming's pheasant dove are accompanied by a small river continent. A beautiful and virtuous woman is really a good spouse of a gentleman.

Appreciation: This is a poem about a man's pursuit of a woman, and the following "Bell and Drum Music" should be that the woman agreed to his request, and the man was very happy. Of course, not all love will blossom and bear fruit. I can only wish you all that you want, and let go of what you can't get.
