Study on the image of phoenix tree in ancient poetry!

1; The ancients thought that cicadas lived high above water and dew, and their natural nature was noble. The phoenix tree perched in cicada has a noble image and is even more remarkable. Because the phoenix tree stands upright, aloof and noble, people put it together with pine and cypress, and call it a beautiful material.

2; The phoenix tree with green branches symbolizes the deep feelings of the couple. In ancient times, it was said that the phoenix tree was male, the paulownia tree was female, and the phoenix tree lived and died with the old. There's a saying in China that "when the Laka tree is ripe, the mandarin duck will die together". Therefore, the phoenix tree is often used in poetry to express the undying love between men and women. 3; The phoenix tree leaves fall early, and the ancients said that "the phoenix tree leaves fall, and the world knows autumn." The ancients had a feeling of sorrowful autumn, seeing things hurt, and seeing leaves fall made autumn more meaningful. "Lonely west wing, such as hook. Lonely phoenix tree deep courtyard locks clear autumn. " (Southern Tang Dynasty Li Yu's "Hui Huan") The imprisoned Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was naturally somewhat sad. The cold moonlight shone on the bare buttonwood, which added to the sadness of the people in the courtyard.

4; With the help of the bleak atmosphere of the image of "rain", there is nothing like imitating the sound of rain at night to set off the sadness of sleepless lonely pillows. When night falls, people are very sensitive to the sound of rain. The intermittent sound of rain is particularly penetrating and reaches the hearts of people who have not slept all night. In order to pursue the clearer sound effect of night rain, ancient literati often wrote the sound of rain with the help of plane leaves. There is a famous poem "More Leaky" in the late Tang Dynasty: "It rains in the middle of the night under the plane tree, and it is more bitter to leave love. A leaf, a voice, and empty footsteps fall into the light. " Borrowing the words of the leaves and sounds of the late-night phoenix tree cold rain, it sets off the grief and indignation of the women in the boudoir, which is touching. As a close-range image, the rain sound of the phoenix tree in the lyrics changed from an individual image to a mass image, expressing emotions and worries in a specific tone.
