Shunhua refers to the hibiscus, which comes from the poem "Zheng Feng has a lesbian car" in the Book of Songs, the first collection of poems in ancient China. The original text is: there is a pull-up car, Yan Rushun Hua, which means: I am in a car with a girl with a face like a hibiscus flower.
The theme of this poem, Preface to Mao Poetry, holds that the prince who stabbed Zheng suddenly refused to marry Qi, saying: The prince suddenly tasted the merits of Qi, and Qi Hou invited his wife; The virtuous women of Qi did not marry and died without the help of great powers. As for seeing them, the people of the whole country stabbed them. Zhu's Biography of Poems considers this a lewd poem.
According to Mao Xu's point of view, there should be two women, one has a daughter and the other is beautiful. According to Qian Chengzhi's "Pastoral Poetry" in Qing Dynasty, the former was the daughter of Chen, who was married suddenly by the prince, and the latter was the daughter of Qi Hou. This view can be established from the following points: in poetry, women only express color, women also express virtue, and hibiscus flowers do not last long.
According to Zhu's point of view, it can't be explained that the same car will be decorated with such a majestic eyes and ears. This paper holds that this is a love song of a pair of aristocratic youths, and the poem praises the beauty of women's appearance and beauty in a man's tone. In summer and autumn, hibiscus flowers are in full bloom, and men and women in the poem go out for sightseeing together.
