What do two poems in Mu Xin's "Once upon a time it was slow" mean: "The locks in the past were also beautiful, and the keys were exquisite and fashionable"?

The phrase "the locks in the past were beautiful and the keys were beautiful" means that the locks in the past were beautiful and the keys were beautiful. People didn't lock things or their homes. What is locked is the heart. These locks are exquisite, which shows that you are polite to lock your heart and refuse to communicate. Or maybe these exquisite locks and keys finally lock what everyone wants.

This sentence comes from the writer Mu Xin's "Once Slow", and the whole poem is

Remember earlier when I was a teenager?

Everyone is sincere.

A word is a word.

Chen Qing Railway Station

The long street was dark and empty.

The small shop selling soybean milk is steaming hot.

In the past, the color of the sun changed slowly.

Cars, horses and mail are all slow.

Just enough to love someone for a lifetime.

These locks used to look good, too.

The key is exquisite fashion.

You'll understand when it's locked.

The whole poem is written in chronological order. The author returned to his hometown of Wuzhen in his later years. In his later years, he suddenly thought of the old lock. Why did you think of that old lock? Because now I have a lock in my hand. Is it just a lock? Of course, some things are locked. Let's review the whole poem. What can be locked? The answer is "letter". After getting old, my husband looked at his past letters and recalled that "I only love one person in my life". Although we were not together because of fate, we still fell in love. From this poem, we can see the whole life of Mr. Mu Xin, which is also the most wonderful place of this poem. We read together: "I have lived in Wuzhen since I was a child. The people there are very good, and some people I miss are there, so it is the best place. " When I grow up, I finally want to study somewhere else. When I left, I looked at the dark long street. At that time, I only saw small shops on the street, but I didn't understand that I might never come back once. I'm wandering around, far away from my beloved, and it's hard to bring us closer by mail. But it is precisely because we can't communicate that I feel that my thoughts are stronger and I can only fall in love with such people in my life! Now that I am old, I look at the locked box in my hand, which contains all my letters. Some things are only suitable for collection and cannot be taken out. "This article has a clear context and complete logic. The sentence" I only love one person in my life "has an explanation before and a result after. Mr Mu Xin's life is just a few crosses, which is a very good poem.
