Now people generally think that this is a poem about the love between men and women. Zhu Xi's Biography of Poems in the Song Dynasty: "The speaker gave me a small gift, and I should repay it with a heavy treasure, but it is not enough to repay it, but I want it to be good and not forget my ears." Doubt is also a word that men and women give answers, such as "Jing Nv". " In modern times, people more clearly put forward that this poem is a poem describing the love between men and women, and the person who wrote it is a young man.
The Book of Songs, National Style, Wei Feng and Papaya, an ancient pre-Qin poem, is one of the most widely read books in the Book of Songs. Literally, that is to say, if you give me something, I will give you something in return. This seems to be a matter of reciprocity. But if you give me a fruit, I will return you a piece of jade, which is not "reciprocity", because the value gap between the two is too big! Therefore, it is followed by saying, "It is always good to report bandits." And say it three times! Say the important things three times! How can we "always think good"? Must what I give back be much more valuable than what I receive to reflect my feelings? The words "papaya" and "Joan" in this poem may have only symbolic meanings rather than specific things. What you gave me first may be just a fruit, or something much more valuable than the fruit. Even if it is just a fruit, it means a lot to me! Like giving charcoal in the snow! For example, sending goose feathers thousands of miles away! Like a glass of water in the desert! It reflects your feelings for me, so will I compare the value of things when I give them back? Precious as "Joan" can be given, even life can be given! There may not be such a precious thing, but I can give it to you as long as you need it and I have it! Only such feelings can "always be good"!
