Appreciation:

"Taoyao" is an article in "The Book of Songs·Guofeng·Zhounan". It is a song to celebrate the wedding, that is, a song to send off the bride. On the happy wedding day, the bridesmaid sends the bride off, and everyone surrounds the bride as she walks to the groom’s house, singing along the way: "The peach blossoms shine brightly..." The bright red peach blossoms complement the bride's beautiful appearance, and marry her. With such a girl, how can the family not be harmonious and happy? The fruit-laden peach tree is a metaphor for the bride who will give birth to many children for the groom's family (the old concept is that more children bring blessings), making her family prosperous. The peach tree with dense branches and leaves will make the family prosperous forever like the branches and leaves of the bride. Throughout the article, red peach blossoms, plump and delicious peach fruits, and lush peach leaves are used to compare the beautiful youth of the newlyweds, wishing their love to be as gorgeous as peach blossoms and as evergreen as peach trees. This poem uses the technique of repeated chapters and repeated sentences. The structure of each chapter is the same, only a few sentences are changed, and the chanting is repeated and the rhyme is lingering. The beautiful musical phrases blend with the beauty of the bride and the joy of love, which very appropriately renders the newlyweds. Festive atmosphere.

A simple and simple song sings about a woman’s hope and longing for married life when she gets married. It uses the lush branches and leaves and abundant fruits of a peach tree to metaphorize the happiness of married life. There is no heavy color in the song, no exaggeration, just plain and simple, just like the songs we are familiar with now and can be sung by anyone, such as "A Letter from Home", "My Deskmate" and "Xiao Fang". The charm lies precisely in this.

It conforms to a basic truth between heaven and earth: simple is good. Just like women's makeup, the light makeup applied lightly with pink and white always has infinite charm. Where it is not there, it always feels like it is there, and where there is it is always felt like it is not there.

Heavy makeup, thick powder and thick cream are not only gaudy, but also alienating, making people wonder how much real substance is underneath the heavy makeup. Maybe after taking off the makeup, she looks like an old lady or has a face full of freckles. Simplicity is simplicity, authenticity, reality, intimacy, and an unforgettable feeling that lingers in the heart. Deliberate modification is kitsch, hypocritical, superficial, superficial, annoying, and vulgar as the ancients often said. Simplicity and simplicity is not only a state of life, but also a state of art, and it is the highest state.
