Interpretation and appreciation of poetry

1, interpretation

Papaya is a well-known poem in The Book of Songs, which has been read by people all the time. However, there are many differences in the interpretation of its theme between ancient and modern times. There are mainly three schools: one school, represented by Preface to Mao Shi, thinks that the creation background of this poem is that the country was destroyed by Di people, which provided material and military help for Wei immigrants who moved.

This poem is wei ren's hymn to "repay your kindness". Another school, represented by Lu Shi in Three Poems, thinks that this poem was written by courtiers to repay the king. The other school, represented by Zhu's Biography of Poetry, put forward the theory of "men and women giving each other words", which was supported by modern and contemporary scholars.

Step 2 enjoy

The whole poem consists of three chapters, each with four sentences and overlapping chapters. In the three chapters, except for the change of "newspaper", the rest remain unchanged, maintaining a high degree of consistency in form. It is written in the poem that the other party gave himself fruit three times, but he gave himself beautiful jade. The value of what he returned is very different from that of what he got, which embodies a noble friendship that the ancients knew each other.

Here, it doesn't matter what the gift is, it just exists as a carrier or bridge of emotional communication, and the mutual connection between the two sides has already surpassed all forms.
