The two boys don't know which ancient poem they came from.

Two little guesses come from a combination poem "Song of Chang Gan" by Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.

These two love narrative poems reflect the life and feelings of ancient merchant wives in the form of monologues. The whole collection of poems is full of narrative, scene and lyric in one furnace, with vivid images and deep and gentle style.

The whole poem (excerpt) is as follows:

My hair barely covers my forehead. I am picking flowers and paying by my door. When you, my love, ride a bamboo horse, run in circles and throw your childhood.

We live together in an alley in Qingkan. We are both young and happy. When I was fourteen, I became your wife. I was too shy to laugh.

The translation is as follows:

My hair just covered my forehead and I was playing games in front of the door. You came on bamboo horses and chased each other around the bed.

We lived in a long office together, and neither of us had any suspicions since childhood. When I married you at the age of fourteen, I was too ashamed to laugh. ?

Extended data:

Through vivid and concrete descriptions of various life stages of businesswomen, poetry unfolds a vivid picture in front of readers. Through the use of images, the poet made a typical summary. The first six sentences are like the playful amorous feelings of a group of folk children.

The following eight sentences "I became your wife at the age of fourteen" vividly and delicately describe the newly married life of the little bride after marriage. In the next few poems, the parting sadness of young women in boudoir is described with strong pen and ink, and the poetry has formed a distinct turning point here.

The next eight sentences, "Your footprints are in front of our house, and I have looked at the places where you have been", vividly depict the image of a young woman who misses her long-distance husband through the changes of solar terms and the description of different scenery.

The last two sentences reveal Li Bai's unique romantic color. Many details of this poem are outstanding and full of artistic effects. For example, the following lines, "My hair barely covers my forehead", describe the innocent game movements of boys and girls, which are lively and lovely.

"Childhood friends" has become an idiom in use today. Another example is "I will go to a dark corner with my head down, and I won't turn to you for help", which describes the shyness of women when they first get married, very delicate and true. ?
