Willow has a very important meaning in the eyes of ancient people. Because "liu" means "liu", the ancients loved to break willows and send them away when parting to express their feelings of farewell. Later, poetry became popular. Liu was even written into poetry, and many masterpieces were published.
Many poets are particularly fond of willows. Tao Yuanming calls himself Mr. Wuliu. You can see his love for willows here. He once wrote in the middle of Guiyuan Tianju: "The elms and willows shade the back eaves, and the peach and plum trees in front of the hall ", write a beautiful picture. Li Bai's "The spring breeze knows the bitterness of farewell, but does not send away the green willow branches" expresses the deep pain of farewell. Xiao Gang's "The peach contains pitiful purple, the willow hair is heartbroken and green" expresses a feeling of lovesickness. There are also people who write poems specifically for willows just because of their graceful grace. He Zhizhang's "Ode to Willows" is dedicated to describing the grace of willow trees, and writes willows with various styles and graceful beauty. Du Fu's "Two orioles sing at the green willows, and a line of egrets ascend to the blue sky" is even more well-known. Wang Zhihuan's "Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through the Yumen Pass" also expresses desolation. Du Mu's "New Willows" is even more famous. Express your own sadness.
