In ancient poetry, Yan is the messenger of spring, so "new Yan" is a common image in early spring.
Such as: Tang Bai Juyi's "Qiantang Spring Tour", "A few early warblers compete for warm trees, whose new swallow pecks at spring mud."
Interpretation: A few warm trees that the oriole came out early are competing for sunshine, and the new swallows are busy building nests and holding mud.
Wild geese often appear in autumn scenery because they migrate to the south in autumn.
Such as: Song Fan Zhongyan's "The Fisherman's Pride", "The scenery in Qiu Lai is different, and Hengyang geese didn't pay attention."
Interpretation: The border scenery in autumn is completely different, and the geese flying to Hengyang have no nostalgia.
2. Different emotions
Yan, as a symbol of spring in ancient poems, expresses the beauty of spring, conveys the love of cherishing spring or the beauty of love, and conveys the yearning for lovers.
For example, Shu's "butterfly lovers, the threshold chrysanthemum worries about smoke, blue tears and dew" and "the threshold chrysanthemum worries about smoke, blue tears and dew". The curtain is light and cold, and the swallow flies away. "
Interpretation: The chrysanthemum outside the railing in the morning is covered with a layer of sad smoke, and the orchid dew is like a weeping dew. Between the screens, there was a faint chill, and a Shuang Yanzi flew away.
In ancient poetry, geese mainly express the author's thoughts, such as pinning the poet's thoughts on his hometown and friends.
Such as: Wei's "Make it a cottage" and "Expropriate Peng and return the goose to Hutian"
Commentary: Sai Han has also floated out of the canopy, and the geese returning to the north are flying in the sky.
3. Extension has different meanings.
When Yan reads "yān", she usually makes place names. That's not how geese are used.
Such as: Tang Li and "Wild Goose Gate Taishouxing", "The autumn corner is ringing all over the sky, and the night is purple."
Commentary: In autumn, the loud bugles shook the earth; At night, the soldiers' blood coagulated into dark purple.
