Judging from the layout of the poem, the style of this poem is very similar to the third poem "Grass Worm" in Zhao Nan, in which the feelings are directly expressed in the last sentence of each chapter. The whole poem consists of three chapters. Repetition is the basic structure of The Book of Songs. But from the perspective of poetic expression, there are two different forms, namely, the re-emphasis of the text and the gradual re-emphasis of the text. At the end of the first chapter, "My heart falls", the second chapter "My heart says" and the last chapter "My heart turns away". The three hymns fully express the woman's thoughts and devotion to her husband. This is an easy interpretation of the meaning of the heavy chapter, although the language is different and the feelings are similar. "On the other hand, the three chapters of You Mei Zi are repeated in a poetic way. The three chapters are repeated, but step by step, vividly and forcefully showing the psychological process of the protagonist. The first chapter, "I am lucky", still treats each other calmly; The second chapter "Xi today" has already seen the anxiety of urging; At the end of the chapter, I can say that I can't wait for my feelings. Under the progression of three duets, the sound is like seeing people. Express women's urgent feelings of being close to psychology and reality.

Cherishing the shortness of youth and longing for sweet love has always been the eternal theme of poetry. As the earliest collection of poems in China, The Book of Songs has laid a solid foundation for the development of China's poems. Every theme and theme can be found in the Book of Songs. It is no exaggeration to say that the writing technique of The Book of Songs is the first of China's poems. Just like the poem "There are Plums", it is the earliest prototype of women's courtship poems in spring. Its significance lies in the construction of a way to express one's feelings: the maturity of plums is a short metaphor for one's youth, which symbolizes that the pursuit of love should be just right and should not be easily missed. You Mei expresses the feelings of courtship for the first time with its simple language and bold and warm tone. Simplicity contains rich poetry, while truth contains eternal poetry. It is in modern society that you meet the person you love and pursue it boldly and enthusiastically in time. As the saying goes, "Youth is fleeting, don't lose fleeting time." If you miss it, you will have too many regrets. This feeling has never changed since ancient times, which is not only an eternal theme, but also the most beautiful feeling in the world.

Because of the influence and symbolic significance of this poem, the ancients called a woman's 25 years old "the year when plums were pulled out", meaning that a woman reached marriageable age.
