Are these two posts similar? Since the post are very long and has 2 separate content. I will divide it into 2 posts.
Before you understand lovesickness, you already feel lovesickness. When you first understand lovesickness, you taste the bitterness of lovesickness. You thought you had swallowed the bitterness, but you didn’t expect that there would be more bitterness.
小六走到璟面前，微笑着轻叹：“我姑酌彼金罍，维以不永怀！我姑酌彼兕觥，维以不永伤！”从死到生，让我姑且放纵一下吧，那些悲伤的事情就不想了。
Xiaoliu walked up to Jing, smiled and sighed softly: "...,. ..! ..., ...!" from death to life, let me indulge for a while and forget about those sad things
These bold sentences come from the poem 《卷耳》 ['Curly ear plant' from Classics of Poetry]. @Windiaa041293, only 3 parts of the full poem was included in your post. I will use the explanation with that in your post and some other references. Therefore, it may differ from your post a bit for the explanation. I also will add the origin of that poem according to my source.
卷耳: Curly ear plant, Xanthus, an annual herbaceous plant of the Caryophyllaceae family, the young seedlings are edible, and the seeds can be used in medicine. [1]

"Curly Ear plant" is a poem about a woman's longing for her husband who fought in the distance*. Who is at war? Who are you missing? At this moment, Xiaoliu had just experienced the battle between Cang Xuan and Xiang Liu and just regained consciousness in the Yu Mansion. She had been thinking about Xiang Liu all along, even in her dreams, and XL ultimately had entered her dream.
Why could seeing Jing make Xiao Liu want to indulge for a while? Because Jing is her antidepressant.
Do you still remember what Xiao Liu encountered when she went up the mountain to collect herbs to raise money for Ma Zi's marriage? That time, Xiao Liu met the worry-relieving beast Fei fei (Xiang Liu), and Ye Qi found her the Zhichu grass# (Ye Qi). These two functions was discussed in detail in another entire article, so I won’t go into detail here.
(*): based on [2] the poem consists of 4 chapters, each chapter has 4 sentences. The poem was about a concubine's longing for Wen Wang (king Wen of Zhu) who went far way. There is no detail information for the trip: it can be business trip, fighting or being imprisoned.
(#): Zhichu grass: a species of grass. The book "Classics of Mountain and Sea", part "Zhongshan Jing" writes: "This grass has leaves similar to the leaves of anemones (also known as winter anemones, a popular vegetable in ancient times in China), red flowers and crops bean-like fruit, called zhichu, has the effect of curing scrofula and lethargy.
