First, the phoenix tree is dry and towering, and its sound is like a funeral bomb-a symbol of noble character.
In classical poetry, many images with noble character are often used to symbolize people's noble character, and phoenix tree is one of them. "Good birds choose wood to live in", phoenix tree can attract talents and talents, which is a symbol of nobility. There is a saying in ancient China that the phoenix is not a phoenix tree. In the past, Zheng said that "Phoenix is not a phoenix tree", for example, in the Northern Song Dynasty. As the cloud in "Xie Yuan First" says, "A husband and a phoenix are benevolent birds, not only strong but evil trees. The phoenix tree is weak, the skin is thin and crisp, and the branches are sparse and soft, so the phoenix is not a phoenix tree and is not born. " (2) The saying that "good birds choose wood to live" can be traced back to the Book of Songs at the earliest. Daya？ "Feng Huangming is gone, he is in Peter Goldkorn. The phoenix tree was born in the morning. Hey hey. " Later generations praised the nobility of human nature accordingly. Li, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, gave Zhang Zhu a gift: "Why should a phoenix eat bamboo when it matches tung?" This legend was written into a poem, which used buttonwood to cultivate bamboo to compare people and praised Zack Zhang, a wise man in the Tang Dynasty. Another example is: "hang down and drink clear dew, smell Shu Tong. "It's not the autumn wind that makes you afraid to speak loudly. "(Yu Shinan's" Yong Chan ")
"Indus can form a composite image with phoenix or bamboo to symbolize the nobleness of human nature, or it can be used alone to symbolize the nobleness of human nature. Gu Tong in Wang Changling's "A Tour Pavilion": "? The leaves are scattered, and the empty leaves are green. Who can look at it with an open mind? Straight shadow makes sense. "In the poem, the leaves of the solitary tung have fallen and the branches have withered, but its noble quality of honesty and frankness is doubly prominent. Wang Anshi's Orphan Child: "Ling Xiao is unyielding and open-minded. The old roots are stronger and the sun is more cloudy. The poet expressed his "heroic spirit of martyrs in their twilight years" and his modest and prudent way of life.
Second, planting buttonwood trees will attract golden phoenix-a beautiful life wish.
"Since ancient times, the phoenix is the king of birds, the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty. As its only shelter, Platanus acerifolia (with the noble temperament of "picking up cold branches and refusing to live") can be said to be an auspicious tree, which can bring happiness and good luck to people. ⑤ People in rural areas plant a large number of phoenix trees, or decorate them in front and back yards, or plant them on both sides of roads for good luck. Li Bai's poem "I would rather know the meaning of the phoenix and send it to the phoenix tree" is proof. It can be seen that the Chinese parasol tree entrusts people with ardent hopes for a better life.
Third, Raqqa-the tree is ripe, and the mandarin duck is combined with death-a metaphor for love.
Love is a new theme written by scholars for thousands of years. They often use different images to express their love experiences implicitly and euphemistically. Image is the materialization of the author's subjective feelings and emotions. Common love images mainly include Yuanyang, Partridge, Thrushcross, Swallow, Phoenix, Red Bean, Acacia, Lotus, Sycamore and so on. When these objective images entered the poet's mind, they gradually changed from vague to clear under the influence of inspiration, and the poet integrated his subjective feelings into the images. In this process, simple images are not only integrated with the poet's subjective feelings and aesthetic tastes, but also make readers associate with each other in the process of reading and appreciating, so as to realize the poet's creative intention, produce * * * sounds and obtain aesthetic pleasure or education. As the pictures listed above, flowers, trees and birds are often used to symbolize love. Platanus acerifolia is a symbol of harmony between husband and wife. According to legend, the phoenix tree is dioecious, the phoenix tree is male and the phoenix tree is female, and they live and die together. Therefore, there is a faithful love between men and women with the meaning of phoenix tree. In ancient Yuefu, peacocks flew southeast, which was the symbolic meaning. "The two were buried together, next to Huashan. Pine and cypress are planted in the east and west, and phoenix trees are planted in the left and right. Branches cover each other and leaves communicate with each other. There are two birds in it, calling themselves Yuanyang. " In this mythical and sad narrative, the mutual communication between phoenix tree and pine and cypress symbolizes the immortal love of the hero and heroine, and also places people's expectation and pursuit for a better life. ?
Fourth, the phoenix tree was half dead, and after first frost, the white mandarin duck lost its head and flew half-symbolizing widowhood.
Because the plane leaves are early, there is a folk saying that "the plane leaves know autumn in the world". The ancients were deeply influenced by the traditional Confucian concept of "the unity of man and nature, the connection between things and me" From the point of view of things and people, seeing the leaves falling, it naturally associates with the end of life. In this way, in classical poetry, we often find that the phoenix tree (death or fallen leaves) symbolizes the fall of love, and it is not surprising that the cultural connotation of the partner "flowing from the water to the east". The statement that the phoenix tree symbolizes widowhood can be traced back to Mei Cheng's "Seven Hairs": "There are no branches in the Longmen, and the bacteria are stranded in the middle, and the roots are separated. There are thousands of peaks on the top, streams on the bottom, rushing backwards, and its roots are half dead. " Later, the literati inherited this symbolic meaning, and many famous sentences appeared. Zhu He's eulogy for his beloved wife, Partridge Day? "Everything is not right after the door" wrote: "Everything is not right after the door, and what follows is different. After the phoenix tree was half withered and the frost cleared, the white mandarin duck lost its head. "Although it is the application of" its roots are half dead and half alive "and" Qin Ai is half dead and Tung ⑦ ",the pain of widowhood is like a dead leaf after frost! Similarly, there is Li Qingzhao's "Remembering Qin E": "Facing a lofty pavilion, Ye Ping is thin in a chaotic mountain. The smoke is thin, the crow returns, and the horns are heard at dusk.
