Extended information
1. The origin of the Ten Commandments poem
2006 The published "Step by Step Jingxin" ends with two sentences, quoted from Tsangyang Gyatso: First, it is best not to meet each other, so as not to fall in love. The second best is not to know each other, so that you don't have to miss each other. (The original text is in Tibetan without the title of the poem. This is Yu Daoquan’s translation. The translation in "Bu Bu Jing Xin" is Tong Hua’s own translation based on a version published by Qinghai People’s Publishing House.)
Later, Jiao Yue Qingfeng, a reader of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", continued the third and fourth comments on "The Best Ending"; Bai Yi Youlan, a reader of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", commented on "Zhi Zhi" A sequel was added to "Palmist Reading: Feelings of Passion after Reading "Step by Step Jingxin"", adding fifth to tenth chapters, and the response was enthusiastic.
Perhaps everyone liked this poem too much, so the dissemination effect was amazing. Chinese netizens did not like to indicate the source when reprinting and quoting. Later, it became known that the entire poem was written by Tsangyang Gyatso .
To this day, almost everyone believes that this tenth chapter was written by Tsangyang Gyatso, and even appears in official published books, once again misleading readers.
2. Appreciation
This poem describes a painful and poignant love, depicting the complex emotions and melancholy of a pair of lovers who are lost in love. The psychological changes make this true melancholy love even more painful.
The pain of being forced to cut oneself off despite being deeply in love, the extremely indifferent and repressive attitude, the almost heartless attitude, the reservation of dignity and the respect for love... are all here. This is vividly shown in the poem. The simple and simple words carry a shocking power.
