Changon not to move past her, and she represents herself as the mountain and him as a stream. Once the stream, Lee Changon, reaches the sea it doesn't come back. The word "Moonlight" in the third line is Hwang Jini's kisaeng name, "Myeongwol," meaning bright moon light; using moonlight as a metaphor to represent herself in the poem. In this sense, the poem hints that he won't come back to her. As a kisaeng, her life is within the limitations of the lowest social class as a cheonmin. Through this poem, Hwang Jini tells Lee Changon to take his time and to stay with her for a while. This poem represents longing and love; as well as her raw emotions of not wanting to separate from a loved one. Hwang Jini's career as a kisaeng may become complicated if she falls in love with a client, and this poem represents the complex depth of emotions that many kisaengs held during the time. They were more privileged than the regular women of society in the aspect of having the freedom to read or write poetry, learn music and dance performances. However, kisaengs could never be the first wife of a yangban, or ever be respected as a woman due to their social class and stereotypes. Although this reality is a part of their job, this poem, Blue Stream, does an excellent job in depicting the struggles of feelings and work that kisaengs went through.

When you combine both words together it creates the Chinese character meaning consent (許). The reason being that whoever solved her riddle she would allow him to come into her house and share a bed with him." This being one of her most famous written works shows her wit and intellect that most women during the time were not able to share with the rest of the world.
