Every festival related to love, the poet will send some famous love poems. At this time, there are always poets who leave a message "I want to shine on the moon and the moon shines on the ditch". Needless to say, we can see at a glance that what he wants to express is "I like you, but you have porridge for him".
I have to say that the ancient poetry is several levels higher than our vernacular. Not to mention how beautiful the artistic conception it creates, the image of "bright moon" alone is enough to make people think, and even make people willing to make a "ditch".
Who wrote these two simple but meaningful poems?
Looking up information with curiosity, I found that it has several sources, such as Romance of the Gods, Engraving of Galvatron, Jin Ping Mei, etc., all of which are involved in the form of broken sentences.
In the brilliant Pipa Story of the Yuan Dynasty, it appeared in the form of seven verses, saying: a husband listens to his father and regrets his ignorance. I entrusted my heart to the moon, but the moon shone on the ditch.
Individual words are different, but the meaning remains the same (I am good to you, but you are ungrateful). As a whole, the whole poem is a formal seven-character quatrain with strict meter, but the first two sentences have a strong limerick flavor and lack of poetry.
In addition, these two sentences are also mentioned in Shi Hui's "The Story of My Family" (also known as "The Moon Pavilion"): Looking at the bright moon to support my heart, the bright moon shines on the ditch. In marriage, you never know when you will meet face to face.
At first glance, it is the first seven verses, and the meter is fine, but the biggest problem is that it doesn't rhyme. Therefore, it can only be treated as ordinary drama lyrics.
After all, the problem is that these two sentences are beautiful and everyone loves to use them. We thought they existed in a more perfect ancient poem, but found that they were lonely for many years.
