The meaning of Yanghua and Zigui is Yanghua, which often represents the image of separation in poetry. When Zigui is mentioned, the emotion expressed is sad.
The purpose of Yanghua Zigui in ancient poetry: The poplar flowers have fallen and Zigui screams sadly, all expressing a feeling of sadness and desolation. Catkins are scattered and cuckoos are singing at night, which are common words used by ancient poets to express sadness. The two images of Yang Hua and Zi Gui are intended to express sympathy for the misfortunes of friends. At the same time, they also reflect the inner sadness in combination with one's own ambitions and unmet talents.
The poplars are catkins, and the catkins are flying, which not only highlights the characteristics of the season, but also exaggerates a desolate atmosphere; and Zigui is the cuckoo, which is said to have been transformed by the blood of Shu Emperor Du Yu after his death. The cuckoo cries blood to express a sad state of mind.
Here Wang Changling moved to the left and was demoted to Longbiao. The location was desolate. The poet used the two images of "Yanghua" and "Zigui" to express his sympathy for his friend's misfortune and at the same time combine it with his own ambition. It is difficult to remunerate, and the opportunity of not being able to recognize talents reflects the sadness in the heart.
