Notes
Yaoyao: The appearance of peach blossoms in full bloom. Hua: ancient flower character. Son: This girl. Yu Gui: Get married. In ancient times, the husband's home was regarded as a woman's home, so it was called "return". It is a demonstrative pronoun. ①: 蕡, sound burning, the fruit is about to ripen. In fact, there is fennel: its fruit is very abundant. Zhen Zhen: It looks lush. Burning: The flowers are as colorful as fire. Appropriate: Pleasant and friendly. 1. Yaoyao: The way the branches are tender and swaying in the wind. Talking about the lush and gorgeous appearance. Zhuanzhuan: The appearance of brightly blooming flowers. Hua: Same as "flower". Kong Shu said: "Yaoyao refers to the few peaches; Zhuo Zhuo refers to the abundance of flowers. The peaches may be few but not flashy, or they may be flashy but not many. In this poem, Yaoyao and Zhuo Zhuo are both mentioned, which means they are few but have flowers. Therefore, it is said that the peach blossoms are in full bloom, because the peach blossoms are in full bloom, which is a metaphor for the peach blossoms in bloom. "The peach blossoms are used here to compare, which is obviously not just a similarity in appearance. The peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring. It is an excellent season for young men and women to get married. "Book of Changes" said: "Spring peach blossoms, girls in the season are home." Song Zhuxi's "Collected Poems" said: "Zhou Rites, in mid-spring, men and women meet. However, the peach blossoms are the time of marriage." Because in ancient times, men were thirty years old. And to marry, if a girl is twenty, it is not timely. "Zhou Li Matchmaker" said: "In the month of mid-spring, men and women are ordered to meet. At this time, they can't help but run towards each other. If you don't use the order without reason, you will be punished. Men and women who have no husband's family will meet them." "Mao Shi" "Justice" said: "Although the etiquette is unprepared, we can't help but run towards each other. That is to say, in the second month of the Zhou Dynasty, men and women meet at this time, and those who run towards each other can't help but do so." It also said: "If a man is thirty and a woman is twenty, Although the ceremony is not prepared and the age is over, it is carried out without waiting for the ceremony, so it is to breed the people. " Combined with the joy of the wedding and the good wishes for the bride expressed in this poem, it is said that the age of marriage does not matter here. I think it is unlikely that the male is thirty and the female is twenty. Confucius said: "The final chapter of "Gu Youmei" says: Men in their thirties and women in their twenties do not wait for the courtesy meeting, which is called the law of expiration. Therefore, 'men and women should be upright' means that men are under thirty and women are under thirty. Twenty years. These three chapters all say that women are in their prime, from fifteen to nineteen years. When women are in their prime years, men are also in their prime years. "2. Sons. : This girl. Yu Gui: When a woman gets married, in ancient times her husband’s home was regarded as the woman’s destination, so it was called “Gui”. In the sentence "Zi Yu Gui", Mao Chuan said: "Zi Zi means to marry. Yu means to go." "Shuowen" says: "Zi, people think of it as a title." "Erya Shi Xun": "Zi Zi also, "Zi" is called a man in ancient times, and can also be called a woman. "Zhao Nan Magpie Nest": "When the son returns, he will be guarded by a hundred liang." Zheng Jian said: "The son is the son. To guard is to welcome. When the son goes to marry, his family will send him off, and his beloved will welcome him.
There are hundreds of chariots, and there are hundreds of officials. "Taozhi Yaoyao
3. Appropriate: gentle and friendly. Room: refers to where the couple lives. Home: refers to the same door. This sentence refers to a good house and family. "It is suitable for a family." In other sentences, Zheng Jian said: "The appropriate one means that men and women are of the same age. "Shuowen": "Yi means peace." "Xiaoya·Changdi": "Yi'er's family, Le'er's wife and children." "Qi Shi": "In ancient times, descendants were called children." This poem talks about the way of harmonious family, starting from the recent times. "Zheng Jian said: "If the clan members are harmonious, they must take care of their family size. "The so-called family, family, and family all refer to couples. "Zuo Zhuan of the Eighth Year of Duke Huan": "A woman has a family and a man has a wife. The family is called a couple. "Zhu Xi's "Collected Poems": "Appropriate means harmonious. A room refers to the place where a couple lives; a home refers to a house. I admire the virtuousness of her daughter and know that she must have something suitable for her family. "Wang Xianqian's "Ji Shu": ""Mencius": "A husband is born to have a wife for him, and a woman is born to have a family for her." ’ The upper part refers to the husband, so it specializes in talking about family, and the lower part talks about the relationship between husband and wife, so it also talks about the family and family. "Actually, apart from the difference in specific details, the meaning of this sentence is still easy to understand. It is a happy blessing for the woman's future family life. 4. Fen (fén grave): fat. If there is 蕡, it means 蕡蕡. Zhen Zhen (sound: Zhen): The appearance of lush leaves. Zhen Zhen (zhēn Zhen): The first two sentences of each chapter are the exciting sentences of the whole poem. They use the branches, flowers, leaves and fruits of the peach tree to compare the male and female. In the prime of life, marry in time. Mao Chuanyun said: "It's true. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also a woman of virtue. He also said: "Zhenzhen is extremely beautiful." Colored and virtuous, the body is at its most prosperous. "This is a compliment to all aspects of the bride. It mainly highlights the educational and utilitarian role of women as a couple in a social unit.
