The ancients thought cicada was a symbol of nobility, so the ancients often used cicada's nobility to show their noble character. "Tang Poetry" says: "The cicada sounds like cicadas, and it is unique." Because cicadas live on high branches, eat wind and sleep outside, and don't eat fireworks, their moral character belongs to lofty type. A political prisoner is listening to Luo's Cicada: "Who knows if he is still singing?" ."
Cicada-cicadas in autumn don't live long. After several autumn rains, cicadas left a few intermittent moans, and their lives were at stake. As a result, cicada has become synonymous with sadness. For example, the first two sentences of Dondero's "Cicada": "Cicada sings in the western world, and the southern guests think deeply." They sang cicadas in the south and played up their homesickness in prison. In the Song Dynasty, Liu Yong wrote at the beginning of Lin Yuling: "The feeling of' sadness' fills the reader's heart and creates an atmosphere that can touch the feelings of parting. Poems such as "Cry on my side when I'm cold" in "Three Kingdoms White Horse Wang Biao" also express this emotion.
2, vegetation-compare the desolation and prosperity of vegetation to express ups and downs.
For example, "after ten miles of spring breeze, wheat is green." ("Zhou Yang Man Jing" Jiang Kui) Yangzhou Road, originally a very prosperous place, is now full of green wheat and desolation. "The old garden is barren and new, and Lingge can't sing in spring." The willows in Wu Lao's garden have sprouted new branches (desolation), and birds are chirping happily under the leaves. "(Du Fu's book of letters) A generation of sages and their achievements have disappeared. Now, only the grass reflected by the green stone steps produces spring scenery every year (spring scenery is illusory), and the oriole makes this euphemistic cry in vain. The poet lamented that the past was empty and deeply regretted. "Rosefinch there are flowers on the bridge, Wuyi alley sunset oblique. "(Liu Yuxi" Wuyi Lane ")
Metaphors of hatred in Cao Fang-China's classical poems. The song of the south beckons to the hidden place: "Wang Sun swims without returning, and the spring grass grows endlessly." "Growth" is a description of the lush spring grass. The lush spring grass is attractive, but the Iraqis have not returned, which inevitably makes Sifu climb the stairs and look forward. Yuefu expressed his thoughts for the Iraqi people in the distance. Bai Juyi bid farewell to the ancient grass: "wildfire never quite consumes them, the spring breeze is blowing high, the incense is pressing the old road, and the city gate is crumbling." Li Yu's "Qingpingle": "Hate is like spring grass, and it is born farther away." Metaphor is the sadness of parting.
3. The pavilion is a place to tell others on land.
Li Bai Bodhisattva Xia: "Where are you going home? The pavilion is shorter than the pavilion. " Liu Yong's Lin Yuling: "Cold cicadas are sad, and the pavilion is late." Li Shutong's Farewell: "Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue." Obviously, in China's classical poems, pavilions have become farewell places on land.
4, banana-banana because of its broad leaves, because of the rain, it is even more sad, so the rain hit banana has become the fuse of literati feelings, often associated with loneliness and sadness, especially parting.
In the south, there is the joy of bamboo and silk "rain hits banana" and the sad sound. Li Qingzhao once wrote: "Whoever plants banana trees in front of the window, the atrium is full of shade and the leaves are full of mood." He poured out his sadness and melancholy and complained about bananas. Wu Wenying's Tang Duoling: "Where do you synthesize sadness? Autumn leaves people's hearts. Even if it doesn't rain, it will be chilly. " Ge Shengchong's Little Red Lip: "How many idle worries, dreaming of the rain of banana." It's sad enough that the rain hits the banana, and it's even more sad that the dream soul chases the rain and hits the banana leaves.
5. Wu Tong-Because the seasons in Wu Tong change greatly, from spring to autumn, it always causes the literati to be sad about the passage of time. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, Wu Tong has become a keynote for literati to look back on the past, especially when it comes to love.
