The origin of this poem was a line in the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Regret, which read,"Why didn't we meet before marriage? One in the palace, one in the village." This poem uses the love story of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei as the main line to describe the prosperity and misfortune of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, expressing the author's feelings and thoughts about history and reality. "Why not meet before marriage?" means "Why should we meet before marriage?" This sentence expressed that lovers should not meet and interact too early because time could make people change. Perhaps when they were not ready, the two of them were already unsuitable. This sentence also hinted at the impermanence and change of life. Cherish the present and don't pursue the illusory fantasy of the future too early.
