Guan Juzhong’s view of love enlightens us: Two people in love are attracted to each other, and this attraction lies in love at first sight between them.
"Zhou Nan·Guan Ju" is the first poem in the "Book of Songs", the first collection of poems in ancient China. It is usually considered to be a love song describing the love between a man and a woman. In the first chapter of this poem, birds sing toward each other and they are in love with each other, evoking the idea of ??a lady accompanying a gentleman.
In the following chapters, the act of picking water chestnuts arouses the protagonist's crazy lovesickness and pursuit of women. The whole poem cleverly adopts the expression technique of "Xing" in art, and the language is beautiful. It is good at using double-voice rhymes and repeated chapters and words, which enhances the phonological beauty of the poem and the vividness of describing human figures and onomatopoeia to convey emotions.
Extended information:
This poem can be regarded as a model of the virtues of a couple. The love it writes has a clear purpose of marriage from the beginning, and ultimately it comes down to A happy marriage is not a brief encounter or a momentary passion between young men and women. This kind of love that clearly points to marriage and expresses responsibility is more recognized by society.
The men and women it writes about are "gentlemen" and "ladies", indicating that this is a union associated with virtue. "Gentleman" has dual meanings of status and virtue, while "fair lady" also means both physical beauty and good moral conduct. The combination of "gentleman" and "lady" here represents an ideal of marriage. Thirdly, it is the restraint of love behavior written in poems.
If you read it carefully, you will notice that although this poem is about a man's pursuit of a woman, it does not involve any direct contact between the two parties. Although the "lady" did not show any movements, the "gentleman" only "tossed and turned" alone there. Things like climbing walls and breaking willows seemed to have never occurred to her at all, and she was very disciplined in her love. Such a kind of love not only contains real and profound feelings, but is also expressed in a gentle and measured way, and does not move the reader too intensely.
