How to interpret the poem Jing Nv in The Book of Songs?

First of all, let's look at the poem Jing Nv in The Book of Songs.

This quiet girl is so cute that she will come to the corner of my town. Deliberately hiding for me to find, scratching my head.

The quiet girl looks good. Give me a tong tube. Red has a bright red color. Love it is really a bright color.

This country exploits me, Meili Yi and is rare. It is not as beautiful as weeds, and beauty gives people deep affection.

There are many misinterpretations about the theme of The Scared Woman in the Old Days. "Preface to Mao Poetry" says: "A quiet girl" is also a thorn. Wei Jun has no way, and his wife has no virtue. Jian Zheng added, "Your wife has no virtue, and Chen Jingnv left me in charge. "。 Virtue is like this, and it can be interchanged with a gentleman. However, Ru Song often interprets it as a poem of promiscuity. Although it is close to the theme of the poem, it is still pedantic to call the normal love activities of men and women promiscuous. Modern scholars generally interpret this poem as a simple love poem.

The whole poem continues to write about the lover's date in the first person "I" (a young man). The first chapter is about the urgency of youth, the second chapter is about the love of youth, and the third chapter is about the city of youth.

In the first chapter, the beautiful girl and the protagonist make an appointment to meet at the corner of the city wall. He arrived at the appointment place early and watched eagerly, but was blocked by trees, houses and the like, so he had to scratch his head and wander back and forth in the waiting place. The word "scratching your head" has created a vivid and infatuated lover image.

The contents of the last two chapters are probably the sweet memories that the protagonist can't help but recall while waiting. In the second chapter, Jing Nv gave the protagonist Tong Guan, and Tong Guan's bright colors were as pleasing to the eye as Jing Nv. In the third chapter, it is written that the fine girl gave the young people grass, and the young people praised the grass as "beautiful but different". Why? The last sentence of the poem has a clear explanation: "the beauty of a bandit woman is in the way of beauty." This kind of grass is brought back from the wild pasture by the refined girl herself, which contains deep friendship, so it is more favored by the protagonist. From Tong Guan to the grass, from the infatuation with appearance to the pursuit of inner harmony, feelings have been sublimated.

The whole poem is tender and delicate, affectionate, fresh and lively, lively and interesting. When reading this poem, readers will also be moved by its strong youthful atmosphere. I sincerely wish this honest and sincere young man and quiet girl happiness, and grow into a lush grassland step by step like grass.
