Peach blossoms set each other off in red.
People don't know where to go,
Peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.
Tang Cuihu's "South Village of Capital"
I don't know where to go, but peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. The meaning of this poem is that the scholar once again came to the eaves where he met for the first time, looking for the girl he could not forget, but got the news that heaven and man had parted. As time goes by, things change. Only when we met for the last time, the brilliant peach blossoms were still in bloom, swaying slowly in the spring breeze. Love is over before it begins. There are only countless peach blossoms flying all over the sky, expressing the mood of world changes.
The lyrics are mostly based on feelings, and the written materials left behind are extremely rare. Cui Hu's Poems of the South of the City is an exception. "Poetic theory ability. The legendary story "Poetry of the South of the City" with emotion first was written by Tang Meng.
Cui Hu, a poet, visited the south of the city in Tomb-Sweeping Day. He came to a manor surrounded by flowers and trees. Cui Hu was thirsty for wine, and a woman handed him a glass of water. "Open the door and sit on the bed, relying on Momo to be independent, but with great meaning." "Cui resigned and sent it to the door, at a loss." In the second year, I revisited the old place of Cuihu, and the gate wall remained the same. Full of suspense. However, the good-hearted people insisted on continuing this story-after some days, Cui Hu went to the south of the city and smelled the crying inside. When Cui Hu inquired, her father replied that her daughter had been "often absent-minded" since last year, and recently she saw a poem on the door, "She got sick at the beginning and died after a hunger strike for several days". Cui Hu entered the room and caressed the body and wept bitterly. The woman suddenly came back to life. "My father was overjoyed, so I went back to her." I think this last comedy is a bit tacky, which doesn't match the emotional tone of this poem, so I'd better leave it alone.
The language of this poem is like a clear spring, clean and simple, and it seems that there is no need to ponder. Actually, it is not. "Peach blossoms set each other off in red", and peach blossoms are more beautiful because of their faces; The face is charming because of peach blossoms. The face is red because of peach blossoms, which is a foil; Peach blossoms feel the same way because of blushing. This is the beauty of spring, the beauty of youth, budding love and vigorous life. "A Peach Blossom Face" created a glorious and immortal image for the beauty of girls.
"People don't know where to go, but peach blossoms still smile at the spring breeze." People went to the scene, causing unspeakable melancholy, loss and even sadness in the poet's heart. But the peach blossom is oblivious, still smiling at the spring breeze! Cross-eyed, cheerful, how many inappropriate smiles, how many incomprehensible smiles! It is this jubilant laughter that produces a sense of joy and pushes the emotional conflict between the scenes to the peak. Cui Hu is fortunate to have a word "smile", which is enough to make his famous poet immortal.
