Willow slender waist
Act like a weak willow.
The following is from Baidu Encyclopedia:
First, the petals are like her face and the willow leaves are like her eyebrows. Why don't you shed tears?
Singing willow is a metaphor for people. Among this kind of poems, Li Shangyin's "Giving Willow" is the most amazing:
Willow color on the platform, bright or dark-all the roads, willow branches are dancing like young girls.
Many people have heard the praise of Liu Feng to the extreme, and now what they see is just the same graceful.
The charming willow color has reached the bridge, and my heart is behind me when I watch the willow color cut off and extend across the bridge to the long beach.
Liu Er is really thoughtful, releasing catkins like snow, floating and flying in the brothel.
There are eight sentences in the whole poem, which are purely sketched. There is not a word "Liu" in the whole poem, but what is presented to us between the lines is an affectionate and beautiful image. In fact, chanting willow praises people, and the poet's love for willow is also his attachment and yearning for people.
The following poem "Yang Liuzhi Ci" by Li E, a poet in Qing Dynasty, is also a masterpiece of willow metaphor.
It's not too late for the jade girl window, and the smoke is raining in the cage.
Rou Huang is willing to use it to embroider acacia with gold thread and give it to you.
The beauty of this poem about women's lovesickness lies in the metaphor of willow. The misty rain and soft willows in the cage are a wonderful portrayal of acacia girls.
"Petals are like her face, willow leaves are like her eyebrows, why don't you cry for it" in the Song of Eternal Sorrow by Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, is a quatrain, which compares a woman with Liu and describes her beautiful appearance. Zhang Xian, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote that "every man is humane because of the benefits of fine willows", which is also a masterpiece of this kind of poetry. No wonder, people often use "Liu Mei", "Liu Yao" and "Liu Yao" to compare the charm of women.
When it comes to Vitamin's poems, we might as well mention a lyric poem by the Song Dynasty poet Wang Guan:
After the bronze camel became a stranger in Xinzheng, the first romantic thing was the willow tree.
Spring is not as good as plum, and people are not as good as wine.
Dong Jun is deliberately biased, and his waist is really thin.
So you don't think about it, because your eyebrows are long and wrinkled.
The word "Liu" is a metaphor for lightness, liveliness, beauty and nature. Through the description of Liu's personality characteristics, he created a romantic, affectionate and feminine image. It reflects the poet's sympathy and even praise for a slutty beauty.
The ancients used willow to compare people. Isn't it the same today? Mao Zedong wrote in a recent reply to Li Shuyi:
I lost my pride, Yang Jun lost her willow, and the willow was light and straight. Asked what WU GANG had, WU GANG held out osmanthus wine. Lonely Chang 'e has wide sleeves, and Wan Li dances for the loyal soul. Suddenly came the news that the world had been dormant, and tears flew down and poured down.
"Liu" here refers to the martyr Liu Zhixun, his lover; "Jiao Yang" refers to the martyr Yang Kaihui, the wife of the poet. Puns are clever.
Taking willow as a metaphor for people, or taking its shape, or its appearance, or its nature, poets have their own needs and lead the way, and have created a series of eternal swan songs.
