Why did the ancients regard love and marriage as the top priority? Because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the level of productivity was very low, and the family was the basic unit of society. Every family relies on husband and wife to overcome disasters and hopes for family harmony. Marrying a wife is the most important thing, and the internal quality of the wife determines the future of the family.
The early love poems describing the first love in The Book of Songs are simple and simple in style, and mostly describe the stories of men and women giving each other gifts from love to tryst. At this time, the feelings were pure, full of fantasy, and even unrestrained, which also reflected the freedom of the social system and people's simple view of love at that time.
Guan Guan Sui dove, in Hezhou,
A beautiful and virtuous woman is a good spouse of a gentleman.
Interlaced shepherd's purse, flowing from left to right;
A beautiful and virtuous woman wakes up to pursue her.
If you can't pursue it, the black nightclub misses her during the day.
Miss Long, I can't sleep over and over again.
Staggered shepherd's purse, picked from left to right;
A beautiful and virtuous woman came to her with a couple and a couple.
Staggered shepherd's purse, awning from left to right,
A beautiful and virtuous woman rings the bell to please her.
This is the first article in The Book of Songs Nan Zhou Guanju. It depicts a beautiful and kind girl picking herbs and vegetables by the river, which arouses a man's deep admiration. The author used a comparative technique: on the shallow river, he saw the male and female waterfowl snuggling together, hoping to be a good couple. The desire for ladies stems from waterfowl. The so-called Bi Xing is not what the poet directly hears with his own eyes, but what he sees with his own eyes. It is typical to use poetic scenes as the medium of homesickness, from which associations are generated, which are in tune with the theme. In the poem, it is assumed that the man has found the ideal object in his dream, connected with her feelings with lyres and harps, and made her happy with bells and drums. It embodies simple and noble sentiments.
Another song, Peak Essence Nv, has the same effect.
This quiet girl is so cute that she will come to the corner of my town.
Deliberately hiding for me to find, scratching my head.
The quiet girl looks good. Give me a tong tube.
Red has a bright red color. Love it is really a bright color.
This country exploits me, Meili Yi and is rare.
It is not as beautiful as weeds, and beauty gives people deep affection.
A * * * is divided into three chapters, with four sentences in each chapter. It is written in "Things about Chen Qi" and describes a vivid scene of a young couple dating. The whole article comes from a man's tone. A love poem describes a quiet girl who meets her lover and gives her lover a token. The first chapter describes the eagerness of young people when they are waiting for each other's appointment. The second chapter is about lovers giving gifts to deepen their feelings after meeting. Third, write about the inner joy of quiet women to grass and young men. The poem Jing Nv is short, but its style is clear and cheerful. The naughty and lively Jing girl, the simple and honest teenager and his warm feelings for Jing girl are all vividly expressed in this beautiful poem.
There is also a song "Jian Qin", which is also a love song that men admire women.
The Millennium is frost.
The so-called Iraqis are on the water side.
Tracing back from it, the road resistance is long;
Swim back from it, in the middle of the water
This is sad and sad, and the Millennium is not happy.
The so-called Iraqis are in the water.
Tracing back and forth from it, the road is blocked and broken.
Swim back from there and drown? .
This poem is different from the last two in content. In the first two poems, the feelings of the hero and heroine are warm. But in this song, we are presented with a pair of affectionate and reserved lovers. "Pick it up with your hands and melt it with your body" and "melancholy distance" create an unattainable but yearning spiritual realm, which makes the poetic artistic conception bright, hazy and faint. It is conceivable that the place where the Iraqis are is a clear river. On the other hand, a person "follows it" and chases it upstream and downstream in the hope of catching up with him. But the journey is too long, surrounded by water on three sides, and Iraqis are in the middle of the water, facing each other across the water, unable to communicate. This creates an illusion, a picture of a water beauty. On the mirror-like water, in the illusion of lovers, beauty seems to be covered with a veil, and it is like a graceful new lotus in bud. Faced with such a picture, you have no other thoughts, but you are moved by the passionate, reserved and persistent love view in the poem and express your heartfelt appreciation. Yao Jiheng said: "In the water" in "The Book of Songs, National Style and General Theory", which was reinterpreted. So adding the word "ten thousand" in front of me makes me feel the finishing touch. It can be said that this article is the most impressive. The structure is also very distinctive. Fang Yurun wrote in the Primitive Book of Songs: "In fact, the first chapter has become a swan song, and the ancient poems have more than one meaning, which has become a three-fold. The so-called singing and three obedience, the best one echoes more. "
Of course, ancient marriage and love also had its own defects and deficiencies (such as marriage ethics), and the direct drawback was the emergence of a large number of abandoned wives poems. Such as white boat, sun and moon, Meng, going its own way, flowers and so on. They are all abandoned wives' poems in the Book of Songs. Let's take a look at the poem "for self-protection":
Embrace trade silk for self-protection. When robbers came to trade silk, they came to me. Sending a child involves gas, as for Dunqiu. "Bandits I won, there is no good media. There is no anger in the child, and autumn is a period. "
Take the dangerous cliff and hope to return to the customs. I didn't see the re-entry and cried; Seeing the resumption of GATT, I was full of laughter and laughter. Well, Parr, the body is not responsible. Driving your car to bribe me to move.
Mulberry leaves flourish before they fall. Hey, I don't eat mulberries! Hey, girl, don't worry! The anxiety of scholars can still be said; You can't say a woman is worried!
Mulberry fell, yellow, and fell. Self-pity, poor at the age of three, qi shui Tang Tang, gradually dressed up. Women are unhappy, and scholars do their best. Scholars are also extremely useless.
Being a woman at the age of three is exhausting. Sleepless all night, there must be a dynasty. As for violence, what you say must be done. Brothers don't know, grin. Calm down and think about it, and you will bow your head and feel sorry for yourself.
"Grow old together" always makes me complain. Qi has a shore and discipline has a plate. The banquet in General's Corner was talking and laughing, swearing and not thinking about the opposite side. On the contrary, I don't think about it. I'm already embarrassed!
This is a narrative poem full of grief and indignation. The levels of poetry are arranged according to the development of the situation: from signing a contract, to getting married, to working, to humiliation, to abandoning children, to brothers coming home and even making fun of them, and finally mourning for themselves. She angrily accused her husband of "the second line of learning", "learning is useless, virtue is second and third." He also warned other women not to trust men and urged them not to worry about women. The anxiety of scholars can still be said; You can't say you are a woman! At the same time, I felt the intense and complicated personality changes of women: from the beginning of "seeing customs again and talking with a smile" to the later "I don't think about it, but I am too embarrassed". This feeling has changed from tenderness and love to pain, sadness and disappointment ... this is a thought-provoking marriage tragedy. This ingratitude in ancient times profoundly shows that women's status has always been subordinate. In the face of reality, the heroine finally realized that self-protection is not an emotional expert, so she did not blindly indulge in the abyss of pain, but cheered up and lived on her own courage. This reflects her strong and tenacious character. From this perspective, Dream shows the gratifying side of women's spiritual development and has typical significance.
In a word, the love poems in The Book of Songs record the happy or painful marriage life of the ancient people in China, and also provide valuable information for us to study ancient customs and history. Compared with our modern marriage and love works full of vulgar sensuality, this poetic aesthetic feeling of Platonic spiritual love will inevitably bring endless yearning and spiritual refuge. In today's more and more ordinary life, it is very necessary to keep an immortal poetic heart.
