Creative background editing
The peak girl is a love poem. Modern scholars generally believe that this poem is about the secret engagement of a young man and a young woman. However, there were many different opinions in the old society. The earliest Preface to Mao Poetry said: "Quiet girl" is also a thorn. Wei Jun has no way, and his wife has no virtue. Jian Zheng explained, "Since the monarch and his wife have no morals, Chen Jingnv left me the way to adjust. Virtue can be interchanged with gentlemen. " And "Yilin" has "Ji Ji, waiting for time; All day long, 120 won't come. " "Ji Ji, look at my corner; I haven't seen Qi Hou all day, and I have no worries in my bedroom. " "Wandering around and scratching your head; The phrase "see me for five days and four nights at the same time" reflects the theory of Qi's poetry, and The Collection of Three Poets therefore says that "at this entrance, you can write poetry as soon as you meet". Song people's interpretation of poetry can break the old theory. Ouyang Xiu's Original Meaning of Poetry holds that "this is a poem describing the custom of defending morality for men and women", and Zhu's Biography of Poetry also holds that "this poem is a dissolute poem". Their statements show that this poem is about the love activities of men and women. Fang Yurun's "Primitive Book of Songs" said: "A quiet girl" stabbed Wei to take his wife. "
works appreciation
Overall appreciation
This poem is written from the man's point of view, but through his praise of the lover's appearance and her affectionate promotion of herself, we can also see the woman's character image that does not appear directly in the poem, and even say that her image is more vivid in the man's first-person narrative. This in turn deepened the readers' fascination with the young man.
The first chapter of the poem is a scene in front of us: there is an elegant and beautiful girl and a young man who make an appointment to meet at the corner of the city wall. She arrived at the appointment place early and watched eagerly, but was blocked by trees, houses and the like, so she could only scratch her head and wander around. "Love Without Seeing, Pretending" describes the external movements of the characters, but it is very distinctive, portrays the inner psychology of the characters well and vividly shapes the image of a deeply fascinated and infatuated lover.
The second and third chapters, from a progressive point of view, should be the spoony young man waiting for the memory of his sweetheart in the corner of the city, that is to say, "let me take care of it" and "go back to the ranch" are flashbacks. In terms of chapter relationship, there is only one word difference between the first sentence of the second chapter and the first sentence of the first chapter, and the first two words of the second sentence are similar in structure, so the two chapters tend to overlap sentences and have a certain sense of symmetry. However, due to the linguistic structure and meaning of the last two sentences in these two chapters, this structure represents a special type in the Book of Songs, which is between neat repetitive sentence patterns and non-repetitive text styles, and seems to reflect the transition process of music and lyrics from simple to complex.
These two chapters vividly reflect the poet's "beauty of style and spirit" (Kyle reads poetry). It stands to reason that Tongguan is more expensive than a grass, but the hero just said "Tongguan has a good impression" on the donated Tongguan, admiring its bright colors while sincerely praising the donated ordinary grass for its "beauty but difference", and appreciating it not for its appearance, but for its other feelings. It turns out that this grass was collected by her own hands after a long trip to the countryside, which is slightly meaningful, just like Lu Kai's poem "To Ye Fan" in the Southern Dynasties, "There is nothing in the south of the Yangtze River, it is a gift in spring", focusing on emotional sustenance and expression. Perhaps it can be said that it has become a special symbol with signifier advantage. When I accepted Tong Guan, I thought of my lover's rosy face, and that kind of "saying (please) is just foreign appreciation of beauty; Accepting the grass and feeling that the ordinary grass is also "beautiful but different" is a profound experience of unusual true feelings with specific content, transcending the infatuation with appearance and entering the advanced love realm of pursuing inner world harmony. And the new catkins will grow into lush grass, which also contains the symbolic significance that love will develop more.
At the end of the third chapter, the two sentences of "love me, love my dog" in response to the lover's gift can be regarded as an inner monologue, which is not only a poetic progression of the second chapter, but also echoes the typical action of "love without seeing, stumbling" in the first chapter to describe the love psychology of the characters, which is true, simple and unique.
The whole poem writes down the fun of dating in a man's tone, with simple language, vivid image, cheerful atmosphere and full of interest. "Love without seeing", secretly writing girls' lively and delicate state, "scratching their heads", clearly shaping men's anxiety and depicting ecstasy; "please women" is a pun with rich feelings; "The beauty of bandits and women hinders beauty", which is a truth projected from the relationship between people, with lingering feelings, delicate psychology and the relationship between people and things. Generally speaking, this poem is vivid and natural in words that everyone can say, and it is difficult to express people's feelings. Li Mengyang quoted Wang Shuwu as saying, "True poetry exists among the people." It's true to use this poem to explain. There are only folk songs, words and feelings in later generations, and their shapes can be obtained. It is rare to ask literati to concentrate on their works.
