Banana image in ancient poetry

Li Qingzhao wrote in "Adding Words and Picking Mulberry Seeds": "Who planted banana trees in front of the window? Yin is full of atria, Yin is full of atria, leaves warm the heart, and books are full of affection "; Li Yu wrote: "There are many autumn winds and the sound of rain is harmonious. There are three or two bananas outside the curtain, and the night is long. " Jie Jiang wrote: "The streamer is easy to throw people, making cherries red and plantains green"; Li Yi also said, "When you are idle, you will worry about wicker, and when you are idle, you will be full of bananas." ...

Poets often associate bananas with rain. For example, Bai Juyi said that "it rains every night, and the banana sounds first"; Du Mu: "Bananas are moved by the rain and planted in front of the window"; Yang Wanli even realized the samadhi where the rain hit the banana: "The banana is happier when it rains, and the night is quieter and more beautiful. Learn the cleverness of flies, touch the paper in a low voice, and it will be as loud as a mountain. You can hear it at 3: 05. The autumn night is restless, and the banana is happy and worried. It's better to have a rest than the west wind. "

Why do so many poets always associate bananas with rain? I think this is because the leaves of banana are wide and thick. When rain hits banana, its sound is crisp and rich, and it has a grand feeling. Moreover, there is enough imagination to listen to the volume of sound and distinguish the density of rainfall. As a host, I always stand under the banana leaf, just watching and thinking quietly, which makes me feel at ease. A poet only needs banana leaves big enough and raindrops big enough to hold 30 or 50 words.
