"Taoyao" is an article in The Book of Songs, National Style and Nan Zhou, which is a wedding song, that is, a song to send a bride. On the wedding day, the bridesmaid sent the bride out, and everyone surrounded the bride and walked to the groom's house, singing: "Peach blossoms are dying, burning its splendor ..." The red peach blossoms are more beautiful than the bride's beautiful appearance. How can the family not be happy when they marry such a girl? The peach tree full of fruits is a metaphor that the bride will give birth to more children for her husband's family (the old concept that many children are more blessed) and make her family prosperous. Peach trees with dense branches and leaves will make the family flourish forever. Throughout, we compare the beautiful youth of the newlyweds with red peach blossoms, plump and delicious peach fruits and lush peach leaves, and wish their love as beautiful as peach blossoms and evergreen as peach trees. This poem uses the method of overlapping chapters and sentences, each chapter has the same structure, only a few words are replaced, so it is repeatedly praised and the rhyme is lingering; Beautiful phrases blend with the beauty of the bride and the joy of love, which very aptly renders the festive atmosphere of the wedding.
It is said that after the Revolution of 1911, when weddings were held in some villages, three chapters of Taoyao were also sung, which shows that this is a wedding poem that has been circulated since ancient times. So far, many places have to sing hymns at weddings, and the content is roughly the same as that of Tao Yao. In Guangzhou, the author saw some wedding couples sticking the banner of "My son returns home", which was also taken from "Peach Blossom". People often say "Peach Blossom Luck" comes from this poem.
