Various images in classical poetry creation show infinite aesthetic characteristics in China's poetry appreciation, and become the materialized expression of national aesthetic psychology. Flowers are a symbol of good things, but "falling flowers" only represent a kind of sadness. Falling flowers are not only the feelings of hurting and cherishing spring, but also the deep sorrow of losing youth and losing face.
Lamenting the vicissitudes of life, which is the vicissitudes of life, has achieved the ultimate concern for people as the main body of life. Grasping the important image of falling flowers has become a shortcut and key to understand the theme of poetry creation in poetry appreciation.
Looking back on the long process of cultural accumulation, the image of falling flowers has the following two particularly prominent meanings. First, from blooming to falling flowers, the evolution of nature conforms to the laws of vicissitudes, ups and downs, and ups and downs of life, thus becoming a symbol of ups and downs of life, full of philosophical meaning.
Secondly, flowers are weak and sometimes bloom. So fallen flowers often replace women. Nature is the eternal cognitive object and aesthetic object of human beings. The forms of nature are rich and colorful, and human beings' acquisition of beauty is endless. Mountain plants are "temperamental". Falling flowers is a natural phenomenon and law, but it is endowed with emotion and life in China's classical poetry creation.
Describing the fallen flowers as simple natural scenery constitutes a beautiful artistic conception. "The fallen flowers blow away, and the weeping willows are still long." (William Wang's Midnight Haruka) all loves, with beautiful spring scenery, shows the joy of holding hands for a spring outing. "There are a few people on the stream, and the flowers are half gone." (Wang Wei's Cold Food in the East of the City) The poet is in a leisurely mood. When he saw out of the water, he was not sad because of it, but felt that spring scenery was so strong.
In the face of falling flowers, I sigh that the years have flown and my face is gone. Flowers from Shui Piao to water, one kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure. "(Li Qingzhao's Pruning Plums) expresses the poet's depressed mood and the suffering of lovesickness. The famous sentence of Man Fang Ting entitled Xu Junbao's Wife is "March, dance on the stage, and the wind will blow away." It expresses a kind of family hatred and national hatred. Land rover came in, as if the wind had fallen and the great rivers and mountains had been ravaged. How sad, how sad.
"People who bury flowers today are stupid. Who did he know when he was buried? " This is a line from Lin Daiyu's funeral speech in A Dream of Red Mansions, suggesting that her fate is worse than falling flowers, and she has exhausted her deep sorrow. In Lin Daiyu's "Burying Flowers", there is another sentence, "Try to see the spring flowers gradually fall, that is, the beauty dies of old age. If you don't mourn for me, I don't know that flowers will fall and people will die. " This is a stirring poem. It completely equates the fate of flowers with people, and the day when flowers fall is the time when people die.
Falling flowers symbolize high spirits. Gong Zizhen, a man of the Qing Dynasty, has famous sentences such as Poems on Falling Flowers in the Western Suburb and Miscellaneous Poems on the Sea, one of which is "I am worried about the sunset, and my whip points to the east horizon. Falling red is not heartless, but turning into spring mud is more protective. " They all use the image of falling flowers to compare their inner persistence. Although it is not used by the world, it is still full of pride.
As one of countless classic images in China's classical poems, "Falling Flowers" has experienced a long development and evolution process. Its multiple changes from original meaning and figurative meaning to extended meaning and symbolic meaning show the fuzziness of Chinese and create a profound and fresh aesthetic mood of China's classical poems.
The appearance of the fallen flower image in classical poetry works not only stays on the surface of meaning, but also has deeper meaning, that is, "the image beyond the image" and "the meaning beyond the taste" mentioned by Si Kongtu in Twenty-four Poems.
The language in China's classical poems is suggestive and ambiguous, implying the disappearance of spring and conveying the feelings of hurting and cherishing spring, which is an example. It can be seen that the image is the unity of the objective image and subjective feelings expressed by the creator in the process of creating works by using artistic techniques such as association, and the unity of the objective image and subjective feelings felt by readers through language and writing in reading acceptance.
