Mr. Liu Bannong is a pioneer of China's new cultural movement, a writer, linguist and educator, born in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he was talented and intelligent from an early age, it is said that at the age of 6 he could not only write poetry, joined the revolutionary army at the age of 20, was a famous "WenMu" in the revolutionary army, and later worked as a compiler in the Zhonghua Bookstore, systematically introducing the works of Famous Writers such as Hans Christian Andersen, Dumas, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Gorky and other famous writers to Chinese.
The word "she" was not created by Mr. Liu Bannong, in ancient Chinese this word is pronounced "jie" three sounds, with "sister", and Liu Bannong is the person who changed the meaning and use of this word, in 1920, Liu Bannong studied in London, England, far away from the motherland and relatives, he was deeply tormented by thoughts, this torture like a drizzle of windows endlessly knocked on her soul, so on a night of inspiration, he wrote a poem that had been brewing for a long time, "Teach Me How not to miss her".
At that time, the word "he" was common to men and women in Chinese, Liu Bannong repeatedly deliberated on the poem manuscript, and he was very satisfied with other places, but this general word "he" seemed to be a stumbling block that made the whole poem unsatisfactory, and the "he" in Liu Bannong's heart referred to the lovely motherland and the mother of his hometown, and it was obvious that the thoughts that Liu Bannong wanted to express were like a beautiful Chinese woman.
This unisex "he" makes Liu Bannong very annoying, he tried to use "Yi" to replace "he", but also always felt that the word did not reach the intention, "Yi" word has a sense of joking, the motherland is a great mother, the hometown mother is the mother who raised him, of course, there can be no half a bit of disrespect, so Liu Bannong first used "she" to refer to the female third person, his bold borrowing has been approved by many cultural tycoons, with this song "Teach Me How Not to Want Her" widely disseminated, "she" The character refers specifically to the fact that women are finally recognized and confirmed in modern Chinese.
Let's enjoy this beautiful and timeless poem that we have all memorized, and the thoughts are like a spring breeze
There are some clouds in the sky, There was a little breeze blowing on the ground. yes! The breeze blew my hair, Teach me how not to want her? Moonlight loves the ocean, The ocean is in love with the moonlight. Such honey is also like a silver night. Flowers falling on the surface of the water flow slowly, The underwater fish swim slowly. Swallow, what do you say? Dead trees sway in the cold wind, Wildfires burn in the twilight. There are still some remnants of the Western Heavens, --------- Liu Bannong 4.9.1920
As long as the clouds in the sky are there, the wind on the ground is there, the "she" in my heart is there, and the clouds and the wind can be deeply felt in any corner of the earth, the wind is rising, my hair is moving, the clouds are gushing, my heart is moving, and the "she" in my heart is safe and sound? ay! Teach me how not to want her!
Moonlight in the ocean, the ocean in the moonlight swinging, a boundless sea and moonlight without an inch of skin intimacy, this scene makes the author who is far away from the motherland and relatives liver and intestines cut off all night, the author's heart of the pain of longing only the moon knows the sea knows, in the "honey is also like a silver night", the author reverie wants to be able to throw into the embrace of the motherland, if it can accompany the mother, how sweet it should be!
The third section of the poem suddenly broke from the cruel contrast to the poetic falling flowers and flowing water, the fish swimming dive bottom, the spring swallow whisper, when the author remembered the minutes and seconds in the motherland, the intimate bits and pieces around the mother, for a time happy like a child, the good memories of the past at this moment deeply comforted Liu Bannong's heart tormented by thoughts, in the depths of the author's heart, all the beauty is in the motherland, a wanderer's sincere heart will not be nostalgic for the beauty of other countries!
The fourth verse of the poem is another sudden break, from a good memory to a cruel reality, remembering that the author of the motherland who has suffered many disasters and difficulties is in pain, the cold wind shakes the trees, the wildfire is raging, the motherland and the people are in the depths of the water, as a member of the motherland, the author deeply feels the responsibility of the pirate, deeply feels the heavy responsibility, the author is eager to return to the motherland at this moment to fulfill a pure heart, how the mission is in his body, the author has to temporarily live in another country.
"Teach me how not to want her" is repeated once in each verse of the poem, making people repeat it like Mu's "Book of Poetry", layer by layer, even if it is repeated ten thousand times, we feel that there are ten thousand "new ideas", teach me how not to want her...
