The title of the poem "Lovesickness" is also "Lovesickness Son" and "Giving Li Guinian to the River"; "Spring has come and sent out a few branches" and "Autumn has come to send out old branches"; and "I hope you can pick more". "I advise you to stop picking." The version in "Ten Thousand Quatrains of the Tang Dynasty" compiled by Hong Mai, a great scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, is: "Red beans grow in the South, and in autumn they grow old branches. I advise you not to pick them. This thing is the most lovesick."
Quelles of the Tang Dynasty To comply with the rhythm of flat and oblique rhythms and the ancient rules that do not require rhythm. Since the two characters "Spring and Autumn" both have a flat tone, it can be used even according to the requirements of the law. However, "Ji" has a flat tone, and "Gu" has a oblique tone. According to the metrical requirements, "Gu" meets the standard. According to the artistic conception of the poem, the acacia tree growing in the south does sprout and bloom in autumn, and the "old branches" already include several branches.
The sentence "I hope you will pick more", different versions have variations such as "gift to you", "admonish you" and "stop picking". Since "wish, gift, persuade" all have flat tones, and "duo, xiu" all have flat tones, there is no problem in interchangeability according to the metrical requirements. It can be seen that the predecessors strictly adhered to the rules. From the perspective of the artistic conception of the poem, although the word "gift" is closely related to the title of the poem "Giving Li Guinian to Li Guinian on the River", it does not make sense in terms of logic. "I hope you" should be matched with "more picks", and "advise you" should be harmonious with "stop pickings". Lovesickness is painful and exhausting, so I advise people not to pick red beans. This is more touching than asking others to pick more.
