Reciting this poem smells like first love. In the tryst at the foot of the city wall, the girl gave the man a gift, even a red tube or a tender grass bud, which would make the man be elated and put it down. "As soon as I get to the corner of the city", I made an appointment to wait for me in the corner of the city, but I didn't see your shadow. The little girl is a little naughty. A quiet girl is lively and naughty, a man's simplicity is vivid on paper, and the playfulness and mutual affinity between lovers give people a taste of love.
"Quiet" can now be understood as quiet and gentle. Obviously, the "quiet girl" in poetry is not quiet at all. Especially in that feudal era, the heroine violated etiquette and met her lover on the city wall. How can she be called a quiet girl? Why is the heroine in love with a quiet girl? For this reason, I made a special investigation. The works of The Book of Songs span a long time, and some works were produced before the formation of the ethical code system. When Jing Nv was born, Bei was not in the center of Zhou's rule, so she was naturally less influenced by ethical codes. At that time, the ethical code had a great influence on the nobles, but little influence on the lower classes, so it was called "Shu Ren is not polite". According to this statement, the heroine in Quiet Girl may be well-off, but she is not a powerful person, so she is less bound by ethics.
Secondly, our traditional aesthetics in China pays attention to the beauty of both form and spirit when praising women. People often use an idealized expression to express the woman in their mind. Therefore, in people's minds, this quiet girl must be a woman with beautiful appearance and noble character.
In many poems, the expression of love is mostly a kind of acacia, and most of them are spoony women or spoony men, while the love expressed in The Quiet Woman is a little relaxed, playful and has a warm and fresh feeling. A woman is deeply in love, even a grass can place deep affection on her. A man loves to the extreme, even if he gives a grass, he regards it as a treasure. I think it is precisely because of the mutual affinity between men and women, that you are willing to meet people's good wishes for love, which makes it still move us after thousands of years.
