Does the image of "phoenix tree" represent widowhood?
Yes Take "Seven Hairs" as an example: "Longmen Tung is 100 feet high and has no branches, with stagnant bacteria in the middle and scattered roots. There is a thousand peaks at the top and a stream 100 feet high below. The stormy waves return, but they are shallow and the roots are half dead. " Later I used the metaphor of widowhood. He Zhu wrote in "Partridge Sky": "It's all wrong to return to the door, and then it's different. After the phoenix tree was half withered and the frost was clear, the white mandarin duck lost its companion. " Combined with the above poem, the meaning of Wu Tong's metaphor for widows is easy to understand.
