Chrysanthemum Image in Ancient Poetry

The images of chrysanthemums in ancient poems are as follows:

1, chrysanthemum symbolizes elegant quality and excellent moral character.

For example, in Qu Yuan's Lisao, there is a saying that "Mulan falls early and chrysanthemums fall late". Drinking magnolia dew and chrysanthemum petals in the morning and evening does not mean that the poet is at peace with the world, but that he is concerned about the country and the people and has noble personality and conduct.

2, a symbol of seclusion and detachment, indifferent to fame and fortune.

Because chrysanthemums don't like excitement, they don't compete with flowers in spring, and they retreat to autumn. They are fragrant and fragrant, and they don't want to be known. They can stand the test of loneliness.

3, a symbol of forge ahead and unyielding.

Because chrysanthemum blooms in cold autumn, but it is not afraid. It is full of energy and shows a fearless spirit. This tenacious fighting spirit, we have read in the poem of Huang Chao, the leader of the peasant uprising, "Until September 8th in Qiu Lai, I will kill everything after it blooms".

4. It symbolizes persistence and gratitude.

Flowers will wither and fall to the ground after their heyday, and even birds will leave their original nests when they grow up. Chrysanthemums are not like this. When it withers, hold on to the branches and refuse to let go. This is a kind of persistence and gratitude to the old branches of the native land.

5, it also symbolizes a kind of worry, sadness and sadness.

Because the shape of chrysanthemum, especially its thin petals, is soft when it withers, just like the faint situation when people are meditating and haggard.
