3. Excerpts and appreciation:
"I left yesterday, willow, a.. I think about it today, it's raining. " Let that lingering, deep and erratic emotion flow naturally from the landscape picture, with profound implications and endless aftertaste. These four poems are praised by later generations as the best sentences in The Book of Songs. This is the time to write the scene, which is more lyrical. These poems are a mixture of sad and happy stories, and they seem to be fables of personal life. Who once said goodbye to me in that spring, in the willows? And when I came back from a narrow escape when it was snowing heavily, who else was waiting for me? Is it the grand occasion of the wedding reception in Mulan Ci, or the scene of overgrown weeds during the Tenth Five-Year Plan? The spring when we left, the heavy snow when we came back, the seasons are changing, the time is passing, we leave, we return, what have we lost and gained in coming and going? There is no answer, only a lonely figure, hungry and thirsty, scorched by heavy acacia and anxiety, staggering and trembling towards the future he doesn't know in the heavy snow.
