Noble, pure, noble, loyal, strong and tenacious.
Although Chrysanthemum can't be compared with peony, nor can it be compared with orchid, which is worth a hundred times, as the flower of Ao Shuang, it has always been favored by literati. Some people praise its strong character, others appreciate its lofty temperament, and all use chrysanthemums to express the poet's spiritual quality. The chrysanthemum here has undoubtedly become a portrayal of the poet's personality.
Exodus 1: Qu Yuan's Lisao: "Drink Mulan dew in the morning, and autumn chrysanthemum will stay in England at night." The poet symbolizes his noble character by drinking dew and eating flowers.
Example 2: Chrysanthemum by Yuan Zhen in Tang Dynasty: "Autumn bushes are like potters, and the fence is gradually inclined. It's not that chrysanthemums are preferred in flowers, but that this flower is even more flowerless. " Expressed the poet's pursuit of firmness and noble character.
Example 3: There is a phrase in Mao Zedong's "Picking Mulberry on Chongyang", which puts chrysanthemums in a war environment, and the word "exceptionally fragrant" highlights Mao Zedong's revolutionary optimism.
lotus
love
Because "lotus" and "pity" are homonyms, there are many poems about lotus in ancient poetry to express love.
Example 1: Western Zhou Song by Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties: "Lotus is picked in autumn in Nantang, and the lotus is over the head; Bow your head to get lotus seeds, which are as green as water. " Lotus seed means Reiko Kobayakawa, and green means affection. There are both real and imaginary here, which means pun. The rhetorical device of homophonic pun is used to express a woman's deep yearning for the man she loves and the purity of love.
Example 2: Thirty-five songs in Jin's "Forty-two Midnight Songs": "Fog dew hibiscus, lotus is not clear." The dew in the fog hides the true face of the lotus, but the lotus leaf is not very clear. This is also a way of homophonic pun, writing about a woman who vaguely feels that the man loves her.
grass
Exuberant vitality, endless hope, desolation and remoteness, and hatred of humble status and status.
(1) Cao Fang
In China's classical poems, it is a metaphor for retaining hatred.
Example 1: "Songs of the South Enlighten the Hidden Land": "Wang Sun swims without returning, and spring grass grows." "Lush" means lush spring grass. Spring grass is lush, spring scenery is sultry, and Iraqis have not returned, which inevitably makes homesick women stay upstairs.
Example 2: Yuefu's "Hege Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Cave" and "Grass by the Qinghe River in Philip Burkart Road" stand up with "grass by the Qingqing River" to express your thoughts about the Iraqis in the distance.
Example 3: Bai Juyi's Farewell to Ancient Grass: Wildfire will not devour them, but they will grow taller again in the spring breeze. Sweet they are on the old highway, and Cui Jing meets the desert city. "
Exodus 4: Li Yu's Qing Ping Le: "Being away from hate is like spring grass, you can go further and live better." With endless spring grass, far away from the horizon, it is a metaphor for the sadness of parting.
(2) lush vegetation
Use the prosperity of vegetation to set off desolation and express ups and downs.
Example 1: "After the spring breeze is ten miles, the wheat will be green." (Jiang Kui's "Yangzhou Slow") The spring breeze is ten miles, and Yangzhou Road, which was once very prosperous, is now full of green wheat and desolate.
Example 2: "The old garden is barren, the willow is dark and the flowers are bright, and the ling singing does not win the spring." The willows in the wasteland of the old garden of Wu State have sprouted new branches (desolation). Looking back, it is more beautiful than when the song and dance were crowing in spring. Here, lush willows set off desolation.
Example 3: "In spring, the grass is green and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant." A generation of sages and their achievements have disappeared. Now, only the grass reflected by the green stone steps gives birth to spring scenery every year (spring scenery is beautiful), and the oriole makes this beautiful cry in vain. The poet lamented that the past was empty and deeply regretted.
Example 4: "There are flowers beside the Suzaku Bridge, and the sunset is oblique at the entrance of Wuyi Lane." (Liu Yuxi's Wuyi Lane) The former prosperity of Zhuque Bridge has disappeared. The bridge is covered with weeds and wild flowers. Wuyi Lane has lost its former glory, and the sunset reflects the ruin and desolation.
Cardamom
This girl is beautiful, pure and elegant.
Cardamom is a perennial herb.
For example, Du Mu's "Farewell": "The flowers are more than thirteen, and the cardamom is in early February." Later known as the age of thirteen or fourteen.
light purple
Sadness or complexity
For example, "I have been worried about seeing lilac knots since Nanpu Bie." (Tang Niuqiao "Thanksgiving")
