Judging from the artistic structure of the poem, the "urgency" is to repeat in three chapters and press forward step by step. Repeating chapters and singing is the basic structure of The Book of Songs. However, from the perspective of poetic expression, there are two different forms, namely, the re-emphasis of chapters and the gradual re-emphasis of chapters.
"Plum Blossoms" is a gradual chapter. The three chapters are duets, but they are pressing one layer at a time, which vividly and powerfully shows the psychological process of the protagonist's desperation. The first chapter, "I am lucky", still means to treat each other calmly; The second chapter, "today's Xi", has seen the anxious feelings of urging; At the end of the chapter, "I called it", which can be described as the true feelings, and I can't wait. After three times, I heard people.
Extended information
This is a euphemistic and bold courtship poem. "Beg for my common people" can be read as "I beg for common people". In late spring, plums are yellow and ripe, and they fall in succession. When a girl saw this scene, she keenly felt that time was heartless and threw people away. However, when her youth passed, she was married indefinitely, so she couldn't help but sing this poem that pitied her youth and longed for love with affection.
The poetic theme, poetic art and custom background of this article are basically pointed out by predecessors. The word "men and women in time" mentioned in Preface to Mao's Poems has stated the theme of the poem; The last few words are attached by the teachers and should be omitted. "Zhou Li Mei Shi" said: "The mid-spring moon will make men and women meet. So sometimes, the runner can't help it. If you don't use the order for no reason, you will be punished. Men and women who have no husband will meet them. "
After understanding this marriage custom of our ancestors, it is not difficult to understand this desperate and bold courtship poem. Chen Huan gave a concise explanation of the ingenious meaning of this article, arguing that "Mei and the media have the same voice, so poets are excited when they see Mei".
Gong Cheng's Original Meaning of Poetry says, "There is a plum blossom, and you are anxious to get married." The word "urgency" captures the emotional tone of this article and reveals the melody rhythm of the whole poem. Judging from the subjective mentality of the lyric hero, "urgency" lies in the passing of youth and the absence of a husband. There are three chapters in the whole poem, and three views on "ordinary people" Those who are "ordinary" have many meanings; "Ordinary people" means many young men. It can be seen that this girl has no lover yet.
She is looking for, urging and calling for love to the whole male world. Youth is priceless, but fleeting. "True youth, chaste young youth, full of fresh blood, light and inviolable youth, this period is only a few months" ("Rodin's Art on Female Beauty"). Now that the plums are ripe, the marriage period will be over, and the husband is still missing, which makes people feel anxious.
when youth passes, compare it with falling plums. "In fact, seven Xi", "in fact, three Xi" and "in a basket" have declined from lush; This is also reminding the "ordinary people" over and over again: "The flowers can be folded straight, so don't wait for the flowers to be folded." The worry about "no flowers and empty branches" in the Tang poem "The Golden Zoysia" seems to have the meaning of "Calling South and Holding Plums".
Cherishing youth and longing for love is one of the motifs of China's poems. As the ancestor of courtship poems in spring, the prototype significance of Plum Blossom lies in the construction of a lyrical model: flowers and trees rise and fall more than youth passes, and the pursuit of timely marriage and love is based on feeling that youth is perishable. From the folk song "Folding Yang Liuzhi Song" in the Northern Dynasties, "There is a jujube in front of the door, and I don't know how old I am. If a grandmother doesn't marry a daughter, she has to be hugged by her grandchildren. "In the middle Tang Dynasty, the anonymous's" Golden Luqu ""The flowers must be folded straight, so don't wait for no flowers to be folded. "
From "Peony Pavilion", Du Liniang lamented that "what a beautiful day it is", and in "Dream of Red Mansions", Lin Daiyu lamented that "flowers fade and flowers fly all over the sky"; Even the two masterpieces "Under the Apple Tree" and "Grapes Ripe" in Wen Jie's Love Song of Turpan are all artistic variations of this prototype model. However, as the first song of our ancestors, "There are Plums" is more simple and fresh, clear and affectionate.
