24、Love Seeds

Wang Wei

The red beans grow in southern land;

How many load in spring the trees?

Collect them till full is your hand;

They would recall sweet memories.

（Translated by Xu Yuanchong and simplified by the editor）

①Love is a popular theme (主题）in Chinese poems. What symbols do you think best stand for love? The heart, rose or chocolate? This time we are going to took at a classic Chinese poem, Love Seeds. It was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei who had a different understanding of the symbol of love.

②In the first two lines, the poet expresses his feelings of missing his friend, who lives in the southern part, by describing the growth of red beans in spring. In classic Chinese poems, poets prefer to express feelings in an indirect or symbolic way. When describing the natural environment or showing some symbols, Chinese poets always mean more than what’s described on the surface (表面).

③In Chinese culture, red beans are seen as “love seeds”, which have a strong cultural meaning. Because they are often hard, come in a heart shape and can be stored for a long time, those beans have long been used as a symbol of love and loyalty (忠诚) between loves.

④In the last two lines, the poet wishes his faraway friend to collect as many red beans as possible, as the beans will bring back his friend’s memories of him.

⑤Instead of showing love to others by directly saying “I miss you” or using flowery language, this short poem can make readers feel deep love.

Newspapers have a long history. The first newspaper was printed in the 1600s. The industry witnessed its most successful periods in the early 20th century.
