Appreciate the whole poem in three chapters, each chapter has a similar meaning, and it is recited repeatedly, highlighting the theme: women encounter misfortunes and eventually suffer misfortune, grief and indignation. The situation that women were abandoned by men in the Spring and Autumn Period shows that male chauvinism has become the mainstream of social ethics in that era. The woman chose a spouse carelessly, married an ungrateful husband, and was finally abandoned, leaving her to feel sorry for herself. It can be seen that the low status of women in China has a history of more than two thousand years.

At the beginning of each poem, motherwort in the valley is used to cheer up the spirit. Motherwort is a Chinese herbal medicine. According to Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, Leonurus japonicus has the effect of improving eyesight and benefiting heart for women, and is also commonly used in the treatment and aftercare of gynecological diseases in modern times. Motherwort is beneficial to female fertility. Poetry is inspired by motherwort, which has two functions: first, this plant is closely related to women, and mentioning motherwort can remind people of women's marriage, childbirth, family and husband and wife, from grass to people, and give full play to the associative role of poetry; Second, motherwort has dried up. Motherwort is dry and can be used as medicine. When a woman is abandoned, the significance of motherwort as a medicine lies in: herbs that promote the relationship between husband and wife and are conducive to fertility, in sharp contrast with abandoned women, giving people the feeling that this woman's fate is really tragic. Therefore, the phrase "there is constancy in the Middle Ages" plays a metaphorical role, guiding feelings and inspiring associations.

The creation background "Zhong Gu Wang Feng You Heng" reflects the living conditions of the lower class women in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. This is the least controversial chapter in The Book of Songs. From the Preface to Shi Mao to modern scholars, most critics think it is an elegy of abandoned women. It's just that "preface to Mao's poems" holds that "husband and wife are getting thinner and thinner, starving in fierce years, and their families are ruined." It's a good auspicious day in Chen Wu, which is both a Japanese festival and a prayer. The hunting car is ready, four horses high. Drive up the mound and drive away the group leaders.
