King Bin got a phoenix bird and tried every means to make it sing, but the bird just didn't sing. Later, Bin Wang's wife said, "I heard that birds will crow when they see the same kind. Why not hang a mirror and let it look at itself? " . Then Bin Wang did it according to this method. As a result, the bird saw itself in the mirror, thinking that it was the same kind, sighed and spread its wings and died.
Later, this allusion evolved into an idiom: "loneliness in the mirror", which is a metaphor for the sadness of husband and wife. Where will you go?
Poets of all ages have chanted about this:
Li Bai's two sad mirrors of beauty: the golden magpie can't fly out of the shadow, and the audience is lonely.
Mrs. Gong Bei by Li He: Long eyebrows are green for thousands of years, cold as an old mirror.
Yang Heng's Farewell to Yiling County: Don't be afraid to leave, don't read the sword and shadow, and look for it.
Zheng Gu's Being a Man: Tears are wet and lonely, and I faint in the mirror. Only recently can I cherish my youth.
Gu Kuang's Tragedy of the Liu Family, The Duke and Duchess of Jin and The State of Wei: The fish garden is far away, and the moon is on sale.
Luo's "Dai female Taoist priest Wang gave Taoist priest Li Rong": Long Biao went away without news, and the mirror looked down at the DPRK.
Bao Rong's "Old Mirror": If a servant doesn't take photos, he will be afraid of learning and dying alone.
