Jasper dressed as a tree: "singing willow"
Author: He (Tang)
Jasper dressed as a tree, hanging down ten thousand green silk tapestries.
I don't know who cut the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February is like scissors.
This object-chanting poem is about willows in early spring and February. In the poem, willow is used to praise the spring breeze, compare it to scissors, say it is the creator of beauty, and praise her for cutting out spring.
The first sentence is about trees, and the willow tree is like a graceful beauty. Willow, compared with jasper alone, has two meanings: first, the name jasper is related to the color of willow, and the words "green" and "green" in the next sentence are complementary to each other. Second, the word Jasper will always leave a young impression in people's hearts. The word "jasper" is used in allusions, leaving no trace. There was a "Jasper Song" in Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties, in which "Jasper breaks the melon" became a famous sentence.
There is also Xiao Yi's Poem on Picking Lotus in the Southern Dynasties, which is also very famous. Later, the idiom "Little Jasper" was formed. "Jasper disguised as a tree" naturally associates this willow tree with a simple and beautiful poor girl in ancient times, and with a bright green dress, which is lovely and full of youthful vitality.
So the second sentence is associated with drooping willow leaves, which is the graceful nepotism of her hair. China is a big silk producer. Silk is the queen of natural fibers, which is famous for its nobility, luxury and elegance. Therefore, the charm of this willow tree can be imagined.
