translate

Please, my love,

Don't climb my wall,

Breaking lychee trees makes my heart ache.

It doesn't matter if you break the litchi tree.

Parents meet the club staff.

I miss you from my heart,

Like my parents said,

It's scary and confusing.

Please, my love,

Don't climb the courtyard wall,

Breaking a mulberry tree broke my heart.

It's okay to break mulberry trees,

Brother saw something to say.

I miss you from my heart,

But what my brother said,

This is also frightening.

Please, my love,

Don't climb the wall of my garden,

Breaking sandalwood makes my heart ache.

It's okay to break the sandalwood tree,

Afraid of gossip and slander from outsiders.

I miss you from my heart,

But other people's gossip,

It's scary and melancholy.

analyse

This poem describes the love between a young man and a young woman, which has been disturbed by family and society in many ways. They were originally in love, but under the pressure of family and society, the woman seems a little afraid to go forward.

In the third chapter of Poem * * *, it is said at the beginning that "Zhong Ziqi is nothing more than my heart, nothing more than the spirit of my tree". Chad looks at it and makes people feel a little confused. I don't know what the poet wants to say. Then he said, "How dare you love it? Afraid of my parents ",point out the theme, it turns out that this is a poem about love. The woman in the poem seems to be going out with her lover, but she also thinks of public opinion. If we don't wait for her parents' orders, the matchmaker's words will make her parents and China people look down on her. I was scared when I thought about it, and immediately stopped my lover from dating him and told him not to climb the courtyard wall of his house, so as not to damage the litchi, mulberry and sandalwood trees in the courtyard wall. I can see how anxious that woman is. Slightly relieved, he felt that his expression was too impatient and said, "I am not afraid that you will break those branches. I am afraid that my parents will see me scolded, my brother will be taught a lesson and outsiders will talk about it." Not that I don't miss you. I miss you all the time, but the pressure of all kinds of speeches makes me feel scared! "

It can be seen from the poem that under the pressure of family and society, especially in the voice of public opinion, it is very easy for two people who love each other to break through the shackles of ethics. This woman in the poem is like this. She loves each other but can't meet each other. She wants to love but can't, and her heart is extremely contradictory. The man in the poem is a brave man who dares to pursue love. He is not afraid of the shackles of feudal ethics, but the person he loves has no courage to break these shackles with him.

The end of this poem doesn't tell us the ending, maybe it's a tragedy, and the poet doesn't want anyone to know. If you meet resistance on the road of love, let it be. It will be difficult to have a beautiful love. Some people, if they miss it, will never find anything more suitable for them!

If you are in love, and love and cherish!
