Lilacs bloom in mid-spring, and the color is white or purple, giving people a feeling of weakness, beauty, purity and solemnity. Lilacs are beautiful, but they wilt easily. The ancient poets in China often hurt spring when watching lilacs, saying that lilacs are the cause of concern. In China's ancient poems, there are many famous sentences chanting lilacs, such as: "The bluebird doesn't spread the news outside the cloud, and lilacs are sad in the rain" ("Huanxi Yarn" by Li Can in the southern Tang Dynasty); "Lilac is weak, and the branches are still falling"; "Bananas don't show lilac knots, but they miss each other in the spring breeze"; Wait a minute. Due to the repeated chanting and widespread singing of ancient poets in China, in the eyes of China people (especially literati), lilacs have gradually become a symbol of things with this nature, such as beauty, nobility, weakness and sadness. The "girl" in Rain Lane is a female image endowed by China ancient poets with the above attributes-she has the graceful posture and color of lilac, the noble fragrance of lilac, and the sadness of lilac (endowed by ancient poets).
Such a "girl" with a lilac soul seems to have her own life once she is created by the poet's imagination.
