What is true love in ancient Japanese love literature?

In fact, in ancient Japanese love literature, their true love endings are all tragic, and the endings are not very good. For us modern people, beautiful love is the kind of happy ending, but in fact, in many ancient literary works, many of their views on love are very similar to those of China, because they all belong to that kind of imperfect ending, but that touching love makes us feel sorry. Just like the stories of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying in China's ancient literature, these stories are rather sad, but in the end, people feel that his love, although it didn't have a happy ending in the end, did depict the reality. The same is true of love in ancient Japanese literature.

In ancient Japanese literature, the love between the emperor and the human woman is often used as the background and material for writing. There is a story about an emperor who saw a beautiful woman outside and made a promise with her that he would come and marry her in the future. It was because of the emperor's words that this beautiful girl didn't wait for the emperor for 80 years. Later, she went to the emperor, but the emperor forgot about it and felt very sorry for her, so he gave the girl gold and silver jewelry instead of marrying her.

In modern times, we would think that the emperor was really love rat, but in previous people's views on ancient love, people would think that people would inevitably make some mistakes when they were young, perhaps because the emperor himself was too busy, so he forgot about it.

From the above, we can easily see that love in ancient Japanese literature is like this. We feel that the love between people will be full of helplessness. In the face of these helplessness, we can only bear it silently and do nothing.
