What's the use of Guan Yu's pigeon at the beginning of a poem?

Poetry plays an active role in Guan Guan's White Dove: it has a very intuitive and figurative role, and it also arouses people's yearning and praise for a better life.

Initiation is a common method in poetry writing, which is to stimulate the poet's inner feelings and feelings when he sees objective things.

Origin: China's first ancient poetry collection, The Book of Songs, was written by Guo Feng Nan Zhou Guan Ju.

Excerpt from the original text: The pigeons in Guanguan are in Hezhou. A beautiful and virtuous woman is a good spouse of a gentleman. Mix shepherd's purse and salvage it from left to right. A beautiful and virtuous woman wakes up to pursue her. ?

Guan Guan and Ming's white dove accompanied Xiaozhou by the river. That beautiful and virtuous woman is a good spouse of a gentleman. Uneven shepherd's purse, from left to right. That beautiful and virtuous woman wants to pursue her when she wakes up.

This poem skillfully uses the expression of "Xing" in art. In the first chapter, the pheasants sing together and fall in love, raising the association of a lady accompanying a gentleman. In the next chapter, the act of picking shepherd's purse leads to the hero's crazy love and pursuit of women. The language of the whole poem is beautiful, and it is good at using double tones, overlapping rhymes and overlapping words, which enhances the phonological beauty of the whole poem and the vividness of pictophonetic expression.

This poem can be regarded as a model to show the virtues of husband and wife, mainly because of these characteristics: first, the love it writes has a clear marriage purpose from the beginning, and finally comes down to the happiness of marriage, rather than a short encounter or a temporary passion between young men and women. This kind of love, which clearly points to marriage and shows responsibility, is more recognized by society.

Secondly, it describes both men and women as "gentlemen" and "ladies", indicating that this is a combination associated with virtue. "Gentleman" has both status and virtue, and "My Fair Lady" also has physical beauty and virtue. The combination of "gentleman" and "lady" here represents an ideal of marriage.
