A bird means wandering.
Cao Cao's "Short Songs": "How many stars are there in the bright moon, and blackbirds fly south. Turn around the tree three times, what branches can I rely on? " Birds have a lot to say about birds in China's ancient poems. Flying means that you are always looking for a place to stay, a bird that is always looking for its way home; When you go home, you don't have to fly any more. You can have a rest. It contains a sense of wandering and has no sense of belonging to home; Isn't it the psychological portrayal of Qian Qian, a migrant worker who has never left his hometown and wandered in a big city without his own home? Birds have been flying and don't know which branch to fly along; Migrant workers have been struggling and wandering, and they don't know when they can have their own homes in big cities.
Homesickness and love for home of two vagrants.
(1) "Birds fly against their hometown, and foxes die first." It is said that this bird has flown thousands of miles and will eventually return to its nest. When a fox dies, its head always faces the hill where it was born.
(2) "Clouds come out of the hole unintentionally, and birds are tired of flying." Tao Yuanming's Gui Xi was a great poet and poet from the late Eastern Jin Dynasty to the early Southern Song Dynasty. He is the first pastoral poet in China, and is known as "the school of hermit poets in ancient and modern times".
(3) In the Yuan Dynasty, Ma Zhiyuan's poem "Tianjingsha" said: "The old vine, the old tree, the faint crow, the small bridge, the flowing water, the ancient road, the west wind and the thin horse, and the sunset heartbroken people." It's really the most wonderful poem of China's landscape. The significance of this poem may not lie in the poem itself, but in this wandering emotional prototype, and in the image of the poet in the Travel Notes of Autumn Wind, which has universal significance.
Walking along this "West Wind Ancient Road", we may find the true source of China's landscape poems. In other words, the exile, military service and garrison of China poets, as well as the resulting sense of wandering and yearning for settlement, undoubtedly constitute an extremely important spiritual source of landscape poetry. Every first-class poem always contains the most basic emotional elements.
Personnel are impermanent, and people have to bear considerable mental pressure in the unpredictable reality. Natural landscape or a spiritual image is often more vital than people, and an almost eternal thing can make people's wandering hearts more stable.
"But I looked at my hometown, and the twilight was getting darker and the river waves were filled with sad mist." Is the "Xiangguan" here a geographical "Xiangguan"? No, this is the "hometown pass" that the soul yearns for. We must understand it from the meaning of spiritual home and the meaning of soul stopping. China's landscape poems reflect the depth of wandering pain and the significance of settling down. Many people have been looking for spiritual home and soul hometown all their lives, but when the poet discovered the nature of mountains and rivers, this kind world opened its arms to the wandering people. China people's life characteristics also take root here.
Novalis, a famous German poet and philosopher, once said emotionally: Poetry is an infinite nostalgia for hometown.
