In ancient poetry, the cultural connotation of Hongyan is rich and profound. In the Spring and Autumn Period, swan geese often migrate, wandering and helpless all their lives, which is a metaphor for the desolation and bitterness of life. The significance lies in: because Hongyan is a large migratory bird, it moves south every autumn, so it often causes anxiety of homesickness and drifting.
In ancient poetry, Hongyan generally refers to the messenger who delivers letters between lovers. This morality first appeared in the Book of Songs, and later generations adopted it. Although in the Tang Dynasty, when poetry was at its peak, poets still compared most of the images in The Book of Songs. On a moonlit night on the riverside, the swan goose is in the sky and the fish Long Qian jumps into the water, even if this meaning is written. Other meaning of Hongyan is a self-metaphor, that is, using things to describe people, implying the image of Hongyan's loneliness.
