In classical poetry, the image of "two flying geese" is used to metaphorically refer to the beautiful and harmonious emotions of a couple. For example, one of the eighteen poems in the Southern Dynasty Yuefu's "Songs of Four O'clock in the Midnight: Autumn Songs": "Autumn loves two geese, and spring feels the twin swallows. The eagle catches the pheasant, and who will see the pheasant when it falls?" The lyrical protagonist is touched by the pairs of wild geese and swallows, which triggers his loneliness and sadness of losing his spouse; another example is the poem "Dulu Pian" in "Yuefu Poems", which goes: "Yongyong and Yongyan are playing by the field. I want to shoot the wild geese, and read "Zi Gu San"; and Wang Changyuan's "Ancient Poem" in "New Odes of Yutai": "Waiting for the king but not coming, the wild geese fly in pairs in autumn" and so on all use the pairing of wild geese to set off the loneliness of people. This kind of implication can also be seen in the poetry of the Tang Dynasty. For example, Zhang said in "Farewell to Chen Qili Shi in Nanzhong": "When are the spring geese, two pairs entering the forest"; Li Longji's "Spring Terrace": "The first orioles are "When the mangrove sings, the returning geese go to the oasis"; Xuetao's "Riverside": "The west wind suddenly calls the wild geese, and the human heart-shaped two descend from the sky" all express the hope of gathering together.
The "Yanqiu Ci" written by Yuan Haowen of the Jin Dynasty should be regarded as an excellent poem about the loyalty and fidelity of wild geese. There is a small preface before this poem, which reads: When Yi Chou went to the imperial examination to merge with the state at the age of 10, he was arrested on the road. The wild goose said: "Now that I have caught a goose, I will kill it. The one that escaped from the net screamed and could not go away, and actually threw itself to the ground and died." I bought it and buried it on the Fen River. Said "Yanqiu...". The author's endless thoughts stemmed from the love story of the wild goose, so the opening line of the poem goes straight to people's heart: "Ask what love is in the world, and the truth teaches that life and death are mutually exclusive." Although it is a hymn to wild geese, it actually praises sincere and loyal love. As a result, this word has become timeless in the course of history and has been chanted repeatedly by the world.
