The sun in the east, the rain in the west, Tao is ruthless but affectionate. What does this mean?

This sentence comes from the first of Liu Yuxi's two Zhuzhi Ci poems.

The correct sentence is: Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny.

Literally: the sun is shining in the east, but it is raining in the west, saying it is not sunny but sunny. Literally means the weather, but the author skillfully uses the pun "sunny-love" here to write about the weather and love. It is sunny in the east and rainy in the west. I thought he was a heartless husband, but he still had feelings.

Four ancient folk songs with seven-character poems on love or local themes

Liu Yuxi

The willows in Jiang Shuiping are green, and I can hear the songs on the Langjiang River.

Rain in the east, sunrise in the east, said it was not sunny, but it was still sunny.

This is a poem about the love between young men and women. It describes a girl's inner activity of falling in love for the first time when she heard her lover's song on a beautiful spring day.

The first sentence, "The willow trees in Jiang Shuiping are green", describes the scene in front of the girl with the method of awakening. The so-called "xing" means touching things and feeling, which is related to the situation to be expressed later. It is not directly related, but it is indispensable in poetry. This sentence describes the willows by the river, which is most likely to arouse people's feelings, so it naturally leads to the second sentence: "I smell the songs on the Langjiang River." This sentence is a narrative, describing the ups and downs when a girl hears her lover's song.

The last two sentences, "sunrise in the east, sunset in the west and rest, the road is sunny and sunny", are two clever metaphors, using a semantic pun. Sunrise is sunny in the east and rain is sunny in the west. "Sunny" and "sentimental" are homophonic, and "sunny" and "sunny" are the code words of "sentimental" and "heartless". On the surface, it is a description of "sunny" and "sunny", but in fact it is a metaphor of "sentient" and "heartless". This makes the girl really feel elusive and uneasy. But she is a smart woman, and you can see from the last sentence that her lover has feelings for her, because the words "you" and "nothing" in the sentence emphasize "you". Therefore, her heart can not help but rejoice again. This sentence uses semantic pun, which not only describes the rainy weather on the river, but also subtly depicts the girl's confusion, attachment and hope.
