Baidu, whose literal meaning is hundreds of times, represents persistent search for the ideal. Hundred and Thousands of times tells about the search that was done before finally finding it. The context of the poem is that in ancient China, girls had to stay indoors and the Lantern Festival was one of the few times they could come out. In the sea and chaos of lantern lights, they would sneak away to meet their love and exchange promises to meet again next year.
