The content of Guanju is very simple. It's about a gentleman who pursues a lady and can't get the distress that the lady can't sleep over and over again. Find a "miss" and you will be happy. Let people play music to celebrate and make "ladies" happy.
Character identity in the works: "Gentleman" is a general term for aristocrats in the era of The Book of Songs, and this "Gentleman" occupies a considerable position in preparing the music of lyres, harps, bells and drums. I used to interpret this poem as a "folk love song", but I'm afraid it was wrong. It should describe the life of the aristocratic class.
In addition, it is good to say that it is a love poem, but I am afraid it is not an ordinary love poem. It turned out to be a wedding song, a compliment from the man's family to the bride, wishing her a happy marriage. Many ballads in The Book of Songs, National Style, have both general lyrical significance and entertainment functions, and are also practical in etiquette. However, some poems are just regarded as ordinary songs, because later generations are not clear about their original purpose.
As a wedding song, Guanluo is festive and appropriate, ranging from My Fair Lady, Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's Gentleman's male prostitute. Of course, the poem itself appears in the form of a love song in which a man pursues a woman. This is because in a general marriage relationship, the man is the active party.
Even in modern times, when a girl has a crush on a boy, she always has to wait for him to speak first, especially in the ancients. Marry a bride, praise her as a beautiful and virtuous girl and a good spouse of a gentleman, and say that she once missed her very much and was lovesick, which must be very pleasing to the bride. Then, in a piece of music, our feelings are close to each other, and a happy marriage begins here.
Even from the emotional structure of poetry, there are some twists and turns in the middle, from thinking of a wife when meeting Guan Yu to forming a good piano, chess and calligraphy: hard-won things are particularly valuable and enjoyable.

Extended data:
This poem can be regarded as a model to show the virtues of husband and wife, mainly because of these characteristics:
First of all, the love it writes has a clear marriage purpose from the beginning, and finally comes down to a happy marriage, rather than a short encounter or a temporary passion between young men and women. This kind of love, which clearly points to marriage and shows responsibility, is more recognized by society.
Secondly, it describes both men and women as "gentlemen" and "ladies", indicating that this is a combination associated with virtue. "Gentleman" has both status and virtue, while "My Fair Lady" also means beauty in appearance and goodness in virtue. The combination of "gentleman" and "lady" here represents an ideal of marriage.
Third, it is the restraint of love behavior written in poetry. After careful reading, it can be noted that although this poem is about the man's pursuit of the woman, it does not involve direct contact between the two sides at all. Of course, the "lady" didn't move, and the "gentleman" was just "tossing and turning" there alone. Things like climbing walls and breaking willows didn't seem to be thought of at all, and love was very disciplined.
Such a kind of love, which is not only true affection (which is very important for love poems), but also shows peace and moderation, will not be too intense for readers. All these characteristics are probably related to the fact that this poem was originally a noble wedding song. On that occasion, an atmosphere of restraint and joy commensurate with the status of the host is needed.
Confucius saw a kind of beauty of neutralization with wide significance, which advocated his attitude towards life of self-denial and self-respect, and attached importance to moral cultivation. Preface to Mao Poetry promoted it as a moral textbook that can "make the world right". The perspectives of the two are somewhat different, but there are still fundamental similarities.
