What's on the tree when the bird is among the apples? What do elk eat? What is the source of coke? What does it have to do with the love the protagonist wants to express?

Taking the abnormal phenomenon of "birds are like apples and trees" as a contrast, it highlights the disappointment and confusion that fills the hearts of the characters, which means nothing to ask for and nothing to do. The following elk eating the atrium and dumplings staying by the water are two abnormal phenomena, which are also metaphorical compared with the description of birds and nets in front, and are contrary to the desire to emphasize love again without seeing it.

From "Nine Songs: Lady Xiang", it is the work of Qu Yuan, a great poet of Chu State in the Warring States Period, and is a companion piece of "Nine Songs: Xiang Jun". The whole poem is lovesick, lyrical and touching; In addition, the works absorbed the straightforward lyrical way of folk love songs and used the traditional method of comparison, which strengthened its artistic appeal and had a great influence on later literary creation.

The whole poem (excerpt) is as follows:

The etiquette of the king, the king, and the king;

What's on the tree when the bird is among the apples? (Pingtong: Ping)

In Yuan's place, there are jealous people and orchids, but they think their son is afraid to speak.

Looking at the distance, looking at the running water;

What do elk in the court eat? What is the origin of water?

The translation is as follows:

Standing on a white cup and looking around, I met a beautiful woman tonight.

Why do birds gather in the water plants? Why is the fishing net hanging on the treetops?

The grass in Shui Yuan is green, and the orchids in Lishui are in bloom. I miss Mrs Xiang, but I dare not say it.

Looking into the distance, I saw the river slowly flowing.

Why are elk foraging in the yard? Why do dragons wander by the water?

Extended data:

It is generally believed that Mrs. Xiang is the goddess of women, while Xiang Jun is the goddess of men and spouses. Xiangshui is the largest river in Chu. This pair of gods and Mrs. Xiang reflects the primitive people's idea of worshipping natural gods and the concept of "love between god and man" Chu's folk literature and art have a strong religious flavor, and the altar is actually a "theater" or "literary world".

Take Mrs. Hexiang as an example: when people offer sacrifices to her, female singers or worshippers play the role of greeting; When offering sacrifices to Mrs. Xiang, male singers or admirers play the role of welcoming Mrs. Xiang and express their deep feelings. They take God as the object and place their simple and sincere love for the world. At the same time, it also embodies the harmony between Chu people and nature.
