The implication of flowers and trees in ancient poetry

1, flowers and plants image:

Flowers bloom: I hope youth is brilliant.

Flowers fall: frustration in life and career, nostalgia and nostalgia for beautiful things in spring.

Peach blossom: a symbol of beauty

Lan: Really?

Peony: Rich and beautiful.

Grass: exuberant vitality, endless hope, desolation and remoteness, and hatred of humble status and status.

Corn: the sadness of parting (the prosperity of the country is now, and the decline of the country is in the past)

Three friends (pine, bamboo and plum) and chrysanthemums symbolize people's noble character.

Red bean: acacia bean refers to the token of love between men and women, which is a metaphor for love or friendship between men and women. From Wang Wei's poem "Acacia": "When those red berries come in spring, they flush on your southern branches, and I advise you to collect more as a symbol of our love." The poet expressed his affection for his friends through red beans born in the south.

Chrysanthemum: quiet, noble and exquisite.

Chrysanthemum: Although chrysanthemum can't be compared with peony or orchid, as the flower of Ao Shuang, it has always been favored by literati. Some people praise its strong character, while others appreciate its lofty temperament. Qu Yuan's Lisao: "Drinking Mulan Dew in the morning and eating Qiuju in the evening are not beautiful." The poet symbolizes his noble character by drinking dew and eating flowers. Tang Yuanzhen's Chrysanthemum: "Autumn bushes are like Taoist priests, and the more they surround, the more inclined they are. It's not that chrysanthemums are preferred in flowers, but that this flower is even more flowerless. " Expressed the poet's pursuit of firmness and noble character. Other poems, such as "I'd rather hold incense in the branches and die than blow it in the flowers" (Cold Chrysanthemum by Zheng Songxiaosi), "Dew in the Lonely East, Sand shines before the gold" (Two Chrysanthemums after Chongyang by Song Fan Chengda), all use chrysanthemums to express the poet's spiritual quality, and the chrysanthemums here undoubtedly become a portrayal of the poet's personality.

May: Aoxue is strong and unyielding in adversity.

Plum Blossom: Plum Blossom blooms first, and then blooms. Therefore, plum blossoms, like chrysanthemums, are admired and praised by poets. "Plum Blossom" by Chen Liang, a poet in the Song Dynasty: "A flower changes suddenly first, and ten thousand flowers are fragrant later." The poet grasped the characteristic that plum blossoms are the first to bloom, and wrote the quality of being the first in the world and not afraid of setbacks. This is not only Yongmei, but also praising himself. Wang Anshi's plum blossom: "It's not snow when you know it from afar, because it has a delicate fragrance." The poem not only describes the reasons why plum blossoms are scattered by the wind, but also implicitly shows the purity and whiteness of plum blossoms, which has received the artistic effect of good fragrance and lewdness. Lu You's famous sentence "Yongmei": "Scattered into mud, crushed into dust, only fragrance remains." Plum blossom is used to describe a person's unfortunate experience of being destroyed and his noble sentiment of not wanting to go with the flow. "Mo Mei" by Wang Mian in Yuan Dynasty: "Don't boast of its lewdness, just leave the air fresh and dry." It is also the plum blossom that shows that it is unwilling to go with the flow, shallow and profound.

Lotus: Because "lotus" and "cherish" are homonyms, there are many poems about lotus in ancient poetry to express love. For example, "Xizhou Qu" by Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties: "Lotus is picked in autumn in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the lotus is over the head; Bow your head to get lotus seeds, which are as green as water. " "Lotus seed" means "Reiko Kobayakawa" and "green" means "clear". There are both real and imaginary here, which means pun. The rhetorical device of homophonic pun is used to express a woman's deep yearning for the man she loves and the purity of love. Thirty-five songs in Jin's "Forty-two Midnight Songs": "The fog reveals the lotus, but the lotus is unclear." The dew in the fog hides the true face of the lotus, but the lotus leaf is not very clear. This is also a way of homophonic pun, writing about a woman who vaguely feels that the man loves her.

Compare the maturity of plum to a girl's desire for love, such as "looking back by the door, but smelling plum fragrance" (Li Qingzhao's "Dianjiang Lip").

Lilac refers to sadness or complexity, such as "I have been worried about seeing lilac knots since Nanpu Bie" (Tang Niuqiao's Gratitude)

2, the tree image:

Straightness of the tree: ups and downs of career and life.

Yellow leaves: the metabolism of dying mature beauty

Green leaves: vitality, hope and vitality

Bamboo: Honest and positive.

Liu: Farewell, nostalgia and sadness, the beauty of spring.

Folding willows: a farewell custom in Han Dynasty. After the implication, there is a meaning of farewell and nostalgia.

Liu Yang: Sad Feelings

Willows pile up smoke: it can trigger the past, and is often used to express the feeling of ups and downs.

Red leaves: it is called the thing that conveys feelings, and later refers to poetry.

Pine and cypress: Strong and proud, with strong vitality.

Pine tree: Pine tree is a model of fighting frost and snow, and it is naturally the object of praise.

Li Bai's "Book for Huang Shang": "I hope you are loose, but be careful not to be peaches and plums." Wei always flatters powerful people, and Li Bai writes poems to persuade him to be an upright person. Serina Liu in the Three Kingdoms gave his younger brother: "Don't suffer from cold, pine and cypress are sexual." The poet used this sentence to encourage his cousin to be as loyal as a pine and cypress, and to maintain a noble quality under any circumstances.

Wu Tong: Wu Tong is a symbol of desolation, pain and sadness.

For example, Wang Changling's Poem of Long Letters in Autumn says, "The phoenix tree in Jinjing is yellow with autumn leaves, and the bead curtain does not frost at night. The smoked jade pillow has no color, and you can listen to the Nangong for a long time. " It is about a girl who is deprived of youth, freedom and happiness. In a desolate and lonely palace, she lay alone, listening to the palace leak. The first sentence of the poem begins with a phoenix tree with yellow leaves by the well, which sets off a bleak and cold atmosphere. Xu Zaisi, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, wrote "Double Water Diversion and Rain Fairy at Night": "A sound of Ye Qiu, a little banana and a little sorrow, dreaming of the third night." Use buttonwood leaves to fall, rain to hit banana, and write down all your worries. Others, such as "One leaf makes a sound, and the empty steps drip to the light" (Tang Wen and Ting Yun's "More Leaky"), "The phoenix tree is raining even more until dusk" (Li Qingzhao's "Slow Voice") and so on.
