1. Hold your hand and grow old together with your son. ——"The Book of Songs"

Misunderstanding: I want to join hands with the person I love and grow old together, describing the love between men and women.

Original meaning: It tells the story of two comrades who spent difficult years together on a cruel battlefield, made a life-or-death agreement, and encouraged and cherished each other.

2. There is no grass anywhere in the world, so why should we have unrequited love for a flower? ——Adapted from "Butterfly Love Flower·Spring Scene"

This poem has been misunderstood too deeply, and has even been "tampered with."

Misunderstanding: When your confession is rejected, your good friend immediately sends you a message of comfort. Don’t hang yourself on a tree, brother! There are many outstanding young ladies~

Original meaning: "There are few willow catkins blowing on the branches, and there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world." The poet felt that spring passed too fast, and many catkins were blown down by the wind. , but there are lush grass everywhere. It’s just seasonal sadness and sentimentality.

3. The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. ——Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts"

Misunderstanding: The moonlight on the bedside is as beautiful as the hoarfrost on the ground.

Original meaning: "bed" refers to "well fence". "Cihai" clearly states that bed is "well fence" and does not mean a couch. I have misunderstood Bedou for so long and cannot change it.

4. "We help each other..."——"Zhuangzi·Neipian·Grand Master"

Misunderstanding: the love of sharing joys and sorrows, life and death, and sex~ How poignant and tragic!

But looking at the whole sentence together, "It is better to forget each other in the world."

Original meaning: Two people are about to die cuddling together, so it is better to find the one that suits you best. Where I am, forget me, go and spend your time, and enjoy yourself.

5. I sincerely know that everyone has this kind of hatred, and poor and lowly couples suffer from everything. ——Yuan Zhen's "Removal of Sorrow"

Misunderstanding: Because of poverty, couples living in poverty cannot do anything, and everything is not satisfactory.

Original meaning: It is inevitable for a husband and wife to die when others die, but looking back on the time when they were poor and humble, and now that the beloved has passed away, it can be said that everything is sad and everything is sad.

6. Spring silkworms will not run out of silk until they die, and wax torches will turn to ashes before their tears dry up. ——Li Shangyin "Untitled·It's hard to say goodbye when we meet"

Misunderstanding: Praising teachers who work hard and burn themselves to light the way for students' future.

Original meaning: The spring silkworm will not stop spinning silk until it dies, and the candle will stop shedding tears when it burns out, to describe the love between men and women that will last until death.

7. Red beans grow in the south. How many branches will they sprout when spring comes? ——Wang Wei's "Lovesickness"

Misunderstanding: When it comes to lovesickness, this poem is definitely on the list.

Original meaning: This is a poem written by the poet Wang Wei in memory of his friend Li Guinian. Only after years of changes, red beans gradually became synonymous with lovesickness, and this poem was also used as a symbol of lovesickness between men and women.

8. There is no drying place for the leak at the bedside, and the rain has not stopped. ——Du Fu's "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind"

Misunderstanding: "House leaking" has always been thought to mean that there is a big hole in the roof, which will leak when it rains.

Original meaning: The leak in the bedside house refers to the northwest corner, and it is not because of the rain; the house is already broken, so there is "no dry place" for leakage.
