Do you know I miss you?
The wind is cold, the rain is cold, and the crow outside the window is urgent. If you meet a gentleman, you don't have to worry about it?
The wind blew through the rain, and there was a cock crow outside the window. Why not be embarrassed when you meet a gentleman?
The wind and rain darkened the sky and the cock crowed outside the window. Didn't Hu Yun like seeing a gentleman?

-The Book of Songs Zheng Feng Storm
When people are most lonely, they are always easily influenced by the environment. Walking in the sun, even if there is haze in your heart, it will gradually dissipate. In stormy weather, even if you are in a good mood, you will be easily sentimental, not to mention that you are already full of troubles. When you are in pain, you will think of the person you care about most, as if you can forget everything in an instant. Love is the source of happiness.
Just like the little match girl, the little girl shivered with cold in the snow. She lit a match and saw many things she longed for, but what she wanted most was her grandmother who had died. Although this is not true, the little girl's heart is comforted.
True or false, as long as I think of love, my heart is full of happiness and joy.
The heroine of "The Storm" also holds this mentality. In stormy days, she is lonely and helpless, and the person she wants to see most is naturally her lover.
The cold wind blows hard and chickens crow outside the window. How can you be restless when you see the person you love?
The wind and rain are bleak and chickens crow outside the window. Now that I have seen the person I love, how can I not recover from a heart attack?
It's raining and it's dark, and chickens crow outside the window. How can you be unhappy when you see the person you love?
Since I met my beloved, I haven't actually seen it. The girl fantasized that I was so lonely in such a stormy day, if only my beloved could suddenly appear! If I see it, I will be very happy. All my heart diseases can be cured without drugs.
It can be seen that the girl's lover is not with her, and it is likely that she has left for a long time. The girl who suffered from missing waited and waited, but still didn't wait for her lover to appear. She can only rely on fantasy to support her belief, and one day, he will come back to her.
When reading this poem, I tried to imagine the girl's situation. Dark clouds rolled across the sky, dark as night. With the wind blowing, raindrops frequently knocked on the ground, making a snapping sound, and the shadows in the distance were shaking ... This girl was born timid. In this weather, she should have snuggled up to her sweetheart and enjoyed the warmth he brought. Unfortunately, on the contrary, candlelight shines on the ground, only reflecting her own shadow.
If it is in the poem "Forever in My Heart", the thinking woman is probably sitting by the window, holding her chin in her hands, watching the swaying trees, listening to the biting wind and rain, frowning deeply, sighing and quietly complaining that her lover has not come back. However, the girl's heart is strong. She thinks differently from ordinary women. She doesn't lament her miserable situation, nor does she worry about what will happen if her sweetheart doesn't come back. Instead, she fantasized about the scene when he came back by encouraging herself. "Hu Yun doesn't like seeing a gentleman?"
Poems about women waiting for their lovers to return have existed from ancient times to the present, and there are too many to mention. But what impressed me most was the mistake of modern poet Zheng Chouyu.
mistake
Contemporary Zheng Chouyu
I walked through Jiangnan,
The appearance in the season is like the opening and falling of lotus flowers.
If the east wind doesn't come,
The catkins in March do not fly,
Your heart is like a lonely little city,
Like a bluestone street facing the night.
There is no sound,
Spring in March has not yet arrived,
Your heart is a small closed window,
My dada horseshoe is a beautiful mistake.
I'm not a returnee,
He is a passer-by
"Mistake" is different from "storm". This poem is not written from the heroine's first perspective, but reflects the girl's psychology through the ordinary passerby "I" and what I see, hear and feel. First of all, this girl must be a loyal person. When the sweetheart is away, her heart will not be open to others, just sit at the window and wait. Occasionally, the hooves rang, and the girl ran out to see it with joy like a happy bird, but it was not the person she missed day and night. I am not a return, I am just a passer-by. Waiting days, time is always so long, in a blink of an eye, wait a year; The days of waiting but not knowing the result are longer, a moment, a lifetime ... only a few people can be as strong as ever in waiting. Women are delicate and more sentimental than men.
Just like the man in The Book of Songs by Feng Wang, although he also misses the sweetheart who separates the two places, he is a man after all, and maybe he just sighs in his heart that "I can't see you for a day like March" instead of missing you like a woman.
A woman who misses the past is always waiting for her husband to come home in Lacrimosa. Ancient women are different from modern women. They have no regular jobs and nothing can distract them. Their husbands and families are all they have. This relationship is somewhat similar to that between stars and planets. Suddenly one day the stars disappeared. What should they revolve around?
On a stormy night, how can I face such desolation without you?
This girl must be an optimist. When she meets anything, she first sees the bright side and does not show any negative emotions. Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that her heart is actually very lonely, so lonely that she has to rely on fantasy to support herself. Personally, I feel that this emotion has reached the edge, and no one can guarantee that after disillusionment, her world will not collapse, and even dust will not be left behind.
Nowadays, "wind and rain sorrow" and "wind and rain gloom" have been used as idioms, especially "wind and rain gloom", and its meaning has also changed to describe political darkness and social unrest.
The first time I saw the word "windy and rainy" was not in the Book of Songs, but in Du Mu's well-known Epang Palace Fu. "The platform is warm and the spring is harmonious. The ballroom has cold sleeves, and it is sad. " It means that people sing on the stage, and the music sounds warm, like spring. People dance in the temple, their sleeves fluttering, which seems to bring cold, as cold as wind and rain. Here, Du Mu mainly shows the luxury and grandeur of Epang Palace. Although the meanings of the two words are similar, the emotions they express are quite different.
The girl in the storm has not waited for the return of her sweetheart so far. It is not known whether she can wait. But the story doesn't end here. Sincere, stone-breaking, happy ending is always what everyone yearns for, so I believe she will eventually meet her beloved in the wind and rain.
