How did the ancients express their love in poetry?

Take The Book of Songs, China's first poetry collection, as an example, which contains many sentences describing love. The "innocent" love described in the Book of Songs is also pure and incomparable. "Jane Jane warehouse, the millennium is frost. The so-called Iraqi people, the water side, follow it back, the road is long. Swim back from it and swim to the middle of the water. "

This poem shows us such a picture. Two people who love each other, separated by a curved river, are thinking about each other and that person, just like Qianshan. However, if you really want to be with each other and cross the circuitous water, it will not be so easy to reach the other side. Coincidentally, there is also a famous poem in later generations, which reflects its very similar content: "You live at the head of the Yangtze River, and I live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you day and night and drink it all at once."

Among Qu Yuan's works, there are also many such works, such as Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang, which describe the deep thoughts and faint sadness between Xiang Jun and Mrs. Xiang. "Yuan You? I dare not speak out when I think of my son. " What a subtle and sincere emotion it is.

The ancients were different from modern people. Without our convenient transportation and communication equipment, modern people will miss each other no matter how far apart they are. As long as they make a phone call, they can hear each other's voice, send text messages and go to QQ. There are many ways to communicate.

However, the ancients were different. It takes a long time to send letters, but people who love each other can't be together for various reasons. They are either far away from home to make achievements, or they are displaced for business livelihood. So a large number of dissatisfied women were born. They can't meet each other and can only express their ideas through poetry.

This is love. I don't care who the other party is or how high or low they are, but I will pay without regrets and go in and out together, taking Qi Mei as an example. Su Shi, a great poet, is also such a spoony person. Ten years after his wife died, he still deeply missed her and published Ten Years of Life and Death. Don't think about it. Unforgettable A lonely grave thousands of miles away, nowhere to talk about desolation.

This is love. Love is a secret that can't be told, but it can be recited in poetry. True love can stand the test, whether old or young.

Walking through the world of mortals and looking at autumn waters, just to find the love in my heart; Love dries up, candles turn to ashes, and people who love each other will never say regret. No matter in the southeast and northwest, no matter how much right and wrong have been experienced, when the rose of love is in full bloom, lovers can no longer say goodbye.

This is what those love poems that have been handed down through the ages really want to tell us.
