It was a long time ago that I met her, but since we separated, the time has become longer, the east wind is blowing, and a hundred flowers are blooming.
Silkworms in spring will weave until they die, and candles will drain the wick every night.
In the morning, she saw her hair cloud changing in the mirror, but she bravely faced the cold of the moonlight with her evening song.
There are not many roads to Pengshan. Oh, Bluebird, listen! -Give me what she said! .
The word "silk" in the original poem "The silkworm will be woven to death" is homophonic with "thinking". You miss each other like silkworms until you die.
"And every night, the candle will cry the wick away" is a metaphor for the pain of not being with your lover, just like a candle burning wax and shedding tears until you die.
This tragic swan song was originally used to describe the undying love between men and women. Later, this sentence was used to praise the excellent quality of teachers working hard as gardeners.
People vividly compare teachers to "spring silkworms", which is a high evaluation of teachers' selfless dedication and noble quality.
People praise candles because they burn themselves silently and illuminate others with their own light until they burn themselves out.
Its metaphorical meaning is that when people talk about the quality of candles, they will think of their beloved teachers, who impart knowledge to students and illuminate their voyage with the light of wisdom and character.
