This sixteen-character famous saying by Su Dongpo is the first sentence in "Die Lian Hua·Remember the first meeting on the painting screen." This poem, like "Jiang Chengzi: Ten Years of Life and Death", was written by Su Shi to express his longing for his late wife Wang Fu. The meaning of this sentence is that since I met you, I often see you in my dreams. Although I often wake up from my dreams, I always miss you. Since this phrase is often used to express a man's love and longing for a woman, it is a famous quote to express his courtship.

"Remember the first meeting on the painting screen" means that a man and a woman meet in a beautiful scene. Since it is the first encounter between lovers, a romantic occasion is naturally inevitable. The original meaning of Huaping is a screen covered with paintings. The paintings on the screen are exquisite. The hero and heroine met at such a beautiful time, and the man fell in love with the woman at first sight.

A graceful lady, a gentleman is a good man. The man just wanted to see his sweetheart again, and he thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. He saw his sweetheart in his dream, but then he remembered that he didn't know whether his sweetheart was also interested in him, so he scratched his head and scratched his head, "the sweet dream came back to him with a surprise." Besides, he didn't know if his sweetheart would also be tossed about for others, but marriage matters depended entirely on his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. How could he marry his sweetheart? He had to think hard.

But no matter how anxious and scared he is, the man still misses his sweetheart all the time and "looks beyond Gaotang Road." The allusion of Gaotang comes from the fact that a man and a woman met in Gaotang and left after one night, which means lovesickness and sadness. "Looking across Gaotang Road" expresses the man's endless longing for his sweetheart.
