In China's classical poems, there are many images to express the feeling of "wandering" and "wandering", such as duckweed (whose life experiences are ups and downs, and the rain beats duckweed), floating clouds (I will think of you in the floating clouds), lonely geese (who don't drink pecks when smoking alone), and Sha Ou (flying around, what am I, but a sandpiper in the vast world! ), lonely hong (see lonely people traveling alone, ethereal and lonely shadows) and so on, but "Peng". Wandering away from home and living in a different place is like breaking your roots; Wandering without a fixed place, living without a fixed place, is like floating grass, so generally speaking, poets are alone outside, or bid farewell to their friends, lamenting the decline of their life experiences, and when they miss their friends, they all use grass to pin their hearts.
(1) The "Cao Peng" in ancient poetry is mostly the poet's exclamation of his own life experience.
Jian 'an poets like to use this image to express their feelings. In Cao Zhi's poems, the most commonly used object should be Zhuan Xu. "Miscellaneous Poems": "Turn the crown away from the roots and float with the wind". If the "Peng" blown away by the wind leaves the "root", it will not be able to go to heaven and land, and it will be miserable.
After repeated use by later writers, it gradually formed a familiar meaning: vagrancy, vagrancy is forced by bad environment, loneliness and sadness of vagrancy. Selected Works, Bao Zhao's Wu Cheng Fu: "If the border is frosty, the wind is magnificent. Loneliness vibrates, flying sand and stones. " Lv Xiang's Note: "The solitary eaves grass has no roots and floats with the wind." The lonely canopy floating in the wind here is a metaphor for the wandering self. When Wang Wei sent a frontier fortress as a supervisor, he wrote "Send a frontier fortress": "Collect Peng and return the geese to the lake field."
Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty lamented that "I have been living like a cornice for too long." People's life is always in the realm of wandering, whether it is the wandering of the body or the wandering of the mind, it is a rootless state. He realized that his life was like a lonely tent flying around, and he never had a place to stay. Never stop dreaming, never give up longing.
(2) The "Peng Cao" in farewell poems can refer to a wanderer who travels far away, or he and his friends are at the same time.
Li Bai's "Farewell, Friend" has a necklace "Here you must leave me and float away, like a loose aquatic plant for hundreds of miles." The poet used a lonely shed to describe his friend's wandering life and expressed his deep concern for his friend. The "flying canopy" in the first couplet of Gao Shi's "Send to Anxi" can refer to himself or a friend who travels far away-"flying canopy".
(3) The image of "flying canopy" is used in coordination with other images, emphasizing emotional expression.
In Bai Juyi's "Feelings of Looking at the Moon", the necklace of "I am like a lonely goose, and I am like a colchicine grass" uses both "Qiu Peng" and "Lonely Goose", and the Laibi brothers are scattered in five places because of the war, and each is as lonely as a lonely goose flying thousands of miles away. It is also like a grass with a broken root in autumn, living in other places, which enhances loneliness and sadness.
