Love is a unique feeling of human beings, a spontaneous and involuntary emotional impulse, and an individual's self-choice. The first love of "throwing curtains across the water for no reason is known to be shy for a long time" is shyness; "Although my body doesn't have bright phoenix wings, I can feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn"; "Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, but sunny on the road"; Unswervingly, "The silkworms in spring will weave until they die, the candles will turn to ashes, and the tears will start to dry" ... These affectionate confidences will definitely produce strong shocks and * * * sounds in your heart, so that we can immediately immerse ourselves in the warmth of love of "the future generations will meet at dusk", because in the realm of "if two feelings last for a long time, we will get along day and night", our hearts will change. Let our emotions be purified in the love and beauty of poetry, and our souls be sublimated.
Marriage and love are eternal themes in literary and artistic works, especially in poetry. Love poems can be said to be similar to love itself, and youth will last forever. On this point, Marx and Engels have made many incisive expositions in the works of Origin of Family, Private Ownership and State. They believe that "the relationship between people, especially the emotional relationship between men and women, has existed since the emergence of mankind" and that "the relationship between men and women is the most natural relationship between people, which is human nature and no one wants to hinder it. This is the most natural thing.
As early as two or three thousand years ago in the Spring and Autumn Period, a large number of love poems were preserved in The Book of Songs. From a literary perspective, The Book of Songs describes the purity of the communication between men and women in the Zhou Dynasty at the beginning of the perfection of the etiquette system, showing the respect for the noumenon of human life and the strong pursuit of individual value, leaving an emotional brilliance for the ancient culture of China. "Guan Guan Luo dove, in Hezhou. My fair lady, a gentleman is good. " This poem, which has been sung through the ages, has been washing away the hearts of lovers.
In the Zhou Dynasty, when the ethical code was first established, ancient customs still existed, and it was not taboo for young men and women to fall in love freely. As the saying goes, "The mid-spring moon makes men and women meet, so when it happens, people can't help running" (Zhou Li Shi Mei). There are many love poems between men and women in The Book of Songs, and the songs of lovers are mostly concentrated on national styles. Wind refers to music tunes, refers to regions and Fangcheng, and "national wind" refers to music tunes of various regions. "National Wind" is based on folk songs all over the country, reflecting the folk customs all over the country at that time. The relationship between men and women is human nature, so it is also involved in National Wind.
The love poems in The Book of Songs are warm, romantic, fresh and pure. They are the communication between hearts and the collision of feelings, praising the pure and free love, affirming the independent marriage based on love and showing the customs of the lower class.
Why did the ancients regard love and marriage as the top priority? Because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the level of productivity was very low, and the family was the basic unit of society. Every family relies on husband and wife to overcome disasters and hopes for family harmony. Marrying a wife is the most important thing, and the internal quality of the wife determines the future of the family.
Reading the love poems in the Book of Songs carefully, we can see a very interesting thing, that is, the process of love: from the beginning of a person's emotional bud, we begin to look for it slowly, then find the right person, then try to find the other person, and finally get married harmoniously. Either you are happy after marriage or you are separated for various reasons. Therefore, we can say that the love songs of men and women in the whole Book of Songs actually show a satisfactory pursuit process.
The so-called perfection is explained by the abstract truth that Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four images, four images give birth to gossip, and gossip plays sixty-four wings when the Book of Changes explains the development between heaven and earth and the emergence between man and nature. If from these sixty-four days, everything will be transformed into everything, then there will be many kinds, and everything in heaven and earth will be produced. In other words, according to the Book of Changes, the structure of the world comes from two instruments derived from Taiji. The so-called two instruments are yin, yang is male and yin is female. Therefore, we can see here that both men and women can find a suitable round thing, which we call perfection. So, how to find this perfection? Of course we should pursue it. This search process is a search for love, so love between men and women is a search process. The first poem in The Book of Songs, Guanluo, is a poem with the theme of love: "Guanluo dove, in the river, is a gentle and graceful lady, and a gentleman is good ..." The Book of Songs began in Guanluo and has always been praised by many commentators.
Shi Mao Xu said, "Poets have their own aspirations. Have ambition in your heart and speak like a poem. Emotion moves in the middle and is formed in words, which is insufficient, so it laments; Lament for lack, so sing forever; " If you don't know how to dance with your hands, you can dance with your feet "Poetry is produced by inner feelings. Love is the purest expression of human emotions, and it is also the most worthy of praise with poetry. There are various types of love poems in The Book of Songs, such as Quiet Girl describing tryst, Zheng Yan describing lovers' spring outing, two of a kind's Calling Nanye to Death, and Feng Wang Caige describing missing. Jian Qin shows that the right person is hard to get close to, Jiang Yousi, bitter lovelorn, Zheng Fengzhong, parents' interference, Feng Wang cart, resisting parents' interference. It can be seen that the love poems in The Book of Songs include the whole process from matchmaking to first love, from passionate love to marriage, from separation to lovesickness, from turmoil to abandoned marriage life, which widely reflects the happiness and frustration of men and women's love life in that era.
