Why does the statue of Confucius in Lu Xun's "Morning Flowers and Evening Picking Up" not stand in the three pools and reflect the moon, but the statue of deer is faster! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Deer represent Confucius' thought, and Mr. Lu Xun wrote: "There is a smooth road in the middle: three pools and the moon." Below the apartment is a picture of a pair of fat sika deer. Without Confucius' memorial tablet, we will pay tribute to Pinglu. We worshipped Confucius for the first time and Mr. Wang for the second time. "

But why does the deer represent Confucius? Lu Tonglu, that is, salary, was regarded as the reward of reading in ancient times, which was also an integral part of Confucius' educational thought. Naturally, worshipping deer is equal to worshipping Mr.

First, about "sika deer"

We suspect that "deer" is a symbolic meaning homophonic with "Lu", so "deer" contains the meaning of "Lu". Rich, paying, paying, and high-ranking officials. "Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong Twenty-four Years": "If you don't talk about Lu, Lu will be rich." "The Analects of Confucius Learning": "Learning is also, and Lu is among them." The original meaning of "Lu" is "Fu", such as "Peacock flies southeast" by the ancient Yuefu: "My son is thin and lucky, but I am lucky to have this woman back." So "deer" means "blessing".

There is a certain connection between Sika Deer and Plum Blossom List: in the Qing Dynasty, in Shaoxing, Lu Xun's hometown, when the list of candidates for the imperial examination was published, it was written as Plum Blossom List-50 people in each list, 1 capital, and the second place ranked at the lower right. If the rest are written clockwise, when they reach the 50th place, their ranking will be 65438. The formation of this pattern is also symbolic, just like the "sika deer" in Song Lu Tu.

According to records, in the year of 1898 (1898), when Lu Xun went to Nanjing to study, the calendar was 10. When I went back to my relatives' home in Shaoxing Province, I was dragged by my uncle to take the county exam of 1 1.6, and I was listed on the 29th of the same month. Zhou confirmed: "He once took the exam in the county, and once he passed the exam, his ranking was still very high. But Lu Xun refused to take the second exam. " (Memories of Lu Xun: Lu Xun went to school in Nanjing) Also, Lu Xun has a clear reflection in his literary works. His screaming novel White Light, written in June of 1922, took his great-uncle Zhou as the prototype, created this typical figure, and described the scene when he looked at the "Plum Blossom List" in the county examination, which was a "Twelve List Circle Map".

The test score is plum blossom list, and the deer in Lusong picture is sika deer. It can be seen that plum blossom was also a beautiful symbol of Shaoxing literati at that time.

Second, about "ancient trees"

We suspect that "tree" is also a symbolic meaning homophonic with "book", that is, "ancient tree" contains the meaning of "ancient book".

In this picture of sika deer crouching under an old tree, the "old tree" is often an "ancient cypress tree" because pine and cypress have the characteristics of * * *. Books, of course, refer to classics, history and philosophers.

Therefore, the "truffle map" is a "pun" map, which is quite symbolic. Its symbolic significance is roughly as follows: if you sincerely bow down to the old tree, you are expected to be on the "Plum Blossom List" and get high officials and generous salaries. Therefore, The Picture of Song Lu is not only a beautiful picture, but also a wordless exhortation, and its "taste" is beyond the picture. In the feudal society of China, pictures of deer with pine and cypress were popular, especially in the homes of Confucian scholars in the Qing Dynasty, which were often hung on the wall to express their implicit blessings, which were more elegant than couplets with words. "Three pools on the Moon" solemnly hangs this painting, which is a symbol of the master's ideological system.

However, due to the evolution and development of the historical era, the above symbolic meaning of "Song Lu Map" is still not very clear to most people. Therefore, some people say that "symbolism" is "catching shadows", "mislabeling" and "metaphysics"! But I can't come up with enough arguments to refute this statement. What's good for academic discussion?
