The Book of Songs Zhao Nan Zhuo You Mei describes love poems.

If you love, please say it out loud.

Plums fall to the ground, leaving 70% of the trees. Please don't delay my young people's good day.

Plums fell to the ground with only three branches. I have a heart to ask my young man not to wait any longer today.

Plums fall to the ground, dustpan will dustpan. My child, please don't hesitate to ask me.

-The Book of Songs Zhao Nan Zhuo You Mei

Lonely boys and girls are always eager for love, but in waiting, we are not sure who is the right person.

I have a friend who has dated many people of the opposite sex, but has never been in love since college. When chatting over tea, he once sighed to me: "I am willing to exchange my life's peach blossoms for a right person."

I can't help laughing. I remembered a joke I once saw on the Internet.

Girl A said to girl B, "When I find a boyfriend, the first thing I want to do is slap him!" " "

B asked, "Why?"

A said, "Who told him to show up so late!"

Oh, it turns out that everyone is the same and has a heart that longs for love. However, generally speaking, men are much more straightforward than women in love-girls are reserved! The education that most girls receive from childhood is to be reserved and restrained. Even if something big happens, girls like to hide it quietly in their hearts. As the saying goes, don't guess a girl's mind, because it's hard to guess.

When meeting a girl you like, men dare to show it boldly, even pestering them to fight. They are not afraid of cheekiness, and they are afraid that girls will not bow their heads. Therefore, we can often see such a scene in the university campus, where boys loudly express their confession downstairs in the girls' dormitory, attracting many onlookers. But we hardly see girls doing this, which should be regarded as the difference between men and women.

In Plum Blossom, this girl is undoubtedly brave. She is not as timid as the average girl. Love is love, so speak out. Seeing that the plum on the branch is ripe, but her lover has not appeared yet, she can't help singing this song because of her inner urgency.

Plums fell to the ground, leaving 70% trees. The young man who wants to pursue me, please don't delay.

Plums fell to the ground, and the remaining 30% was on the tree. Now is a good time for young people who want to pursue me.

Plum fell to the ground and picked it up with a bamboo basket. If you want to pursue my young people, please tell me.

The opening part is the usual inspiring technique in The Book of Songs to set off the girl's desire for love. Plum is ripe, time has passed, but the one in my life, why haven't you appeared yet?

This urgent mood is progressive in turn. When the plum fell to the ground and there were 70% left on the tree, the girl longed for a young man to pursue her. When there were only 30% plums left on the tree, she began to worry. Please don't hesitate to pursue my young man. Now is the best time! Until all the plums fall, it's time to pick them up with baskets. The girl finally could not help it. To put it simply: that young man, why don't you talk?

On the surface, girls seem to be waiting for boys to chase them, waiting for someone to "beg", but they are actually asking for "people". No matter how brave a girl is, she still has some small pride in her heart, but she likes to express it in the opposite way when she clearly thinks about it. Girls are more or less saving face. If they fall in love with a boy, I believe most people will choose to ask him "Do you like me" instead of telling him "I like you" directly.

The maturity of plums is a metaphor for the passing of youth. According to the climate characteristics of China, Li Zitong usually matures from mid-June to early July, when it is raining in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is called "Meiyu season". He Zhu's "A Stream of Smoke, Wind in the City, Plum Yellow Rain" describes this time.

I always like plants with the word "plum", whether it is cold plum or sweet and sour plum. In China culture, plum blossom is not as graceful and romantic as peach blossom, but it has always been regarded as the embodiment of perseverance. If peach blossom is better than artistic conception, then plum blossom is better than character. A woman in a plum blossom must be as strong as a plum blossom. Always waiting for the person you love to appear, dare to say it if you want to love, regardless of other people's eyes. Unfortunately, my lover doesn't know where it is yet.

The plums on that branch are ripe, and the four seasons are over. Lonely women can't help feeling that youth is about to pass away, chagrin the ruthlessness of the years, and sigh the endless true love. As for the reason why she didn't wait for her lover, it may be that she was too reserved and shy before and didn't express it; Perhaps she is arrogant, her eyes are too high, and she has not met the person she likes; It may also be because of the cultural customs at that time. After all, the communication between men and women in ancient times was far less common than it is now. However, compared with the feudal ethics era, the folk customs in the pre-Qin period were much more open.

Whether the girl has sought someone she loves or not, she seldom expresses it publicly. After the prevalence of feudal ethics, boudoir women can only spend their youth in the embroidered building, even if they are eager for love again, they dare not speak. For example, in Zheng Guangzu's Away from the Soul, the heroine Zhang Qiannv can only follow her lover by leaving her body with her soul.

This is a wonderful story. Zhang Qiannv and Wang Wenju have been married since childhood and love each other. However, the Zhang family didn't like being down and out and couldn't become famous, so they broke off their marriage. Wang Wenju had to go to Beijing alone to take the exam. After he left, thousands of girls got sick and couldn't afford it. During the time when she was ill in bed, her soul left her body and followed her lover to Beijing. They lived together for many years, and it was not until Wang Wenju was admitted to the top prize and went home with Qian Qian's clothes that Qian Qian's family suddenly realized.

Leaving the soul can only happen in stories. Women who really live under the yoke of feudal ethics are afraid to do or even say whether they want to marry or hate to marry. Therefore, women living in the era of The Book of Songs are undoubtedly happy. As long as they are willing, they can grab a handful of plums from the basket and throw them at the man they like and say, "If you like me, don't miss it!" "

Are you waiting for love?

Plums fall, youth is gone, when is true love? If you meet the right person, don't hesitate to say so.
