The ancient meaning of Hongyan

Hongyan is a large migratory bird, which comes to the north in spring and goes to the south in autumn. On the way back and forth for thousands of years, it is really hard to count how many stories have been passed and how many cultures have been carried! Beauty, as the most commonly used prototype image, has the richest and deepest cultural connotation in ancient poetry.

1, Hanshu? Biography of Su Wu, Su Wu and Chang Hui, etc. After detaining the Huns for nineteen years, Zhao Han sent messengers to take back Su Wu and others. Xiongnu lied that Su Wu was dead. Chang Hui designed, "Teach envoys to shout Khan, saying that the son of heaven shot Lin Deyan and wrote martial arts on silk in a river." Su Wu and others finally returned to Han. Later, it was adapted from the biography of Hongyan.

Let the messenger tell Shan Yu that the emperor killed a goose with a letter tied to its middle foot in Shanglinyuan. The letter said that Su Wu and others were in a river.

2. Don? Li Bai's "A Thousand Miles of Thoughts": "Hongyan travels in the northwest because of books and newspapers."

Hongyan flies to the northwest every year and asks them to deliver letters for themselves and send them to distant relatives.

3. The Book of Rites? Wang zhi: "the father's teeth go with him; Brothers have teeth like geese, but no more than one friend. The geese lined up and flew away. "

When you walk with someone your father's age, follow him. When walking with someone your brother's age, you should walk behind him and move forward like a queue. When walking with friends, be humble to each other and don't get ahead.

4. Song? Huang Tingjian (and Zhan, the answer) recalled Chang Fu's Story in the Museum: "The wind shakes the tungsten branches, and the waves cool the wild geese."

This morning sun is farther than Hengyang, and even Hongyan has disappeared.

Extended data:

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 the moonlit night by the river, "Hongyan flies long, ichthyosaurs dive to write", even if it means this.

Other meaning of Hongyan is a self-metaphor, that is, using things to describe people, implying the image of Hongyan's loneliness. This is the meaning of a sentence in the secular word "Bu Operator", "Anyone who sees a lonely person is lonely and lonely".
