What are the meanings of various animals in ancient poems?

LZ, hello. The meanings of various animals in ancient poems are as follows, which are arranged by themselves for reference only: 1. Double carp refers to letters (because the ancients often made letters into double carp shapes or sent them in carp-shaped boards, they used double carp as a synonym for letters. Referred to as double carp); For example, there is a passage in Cai Yong's "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Cave" selected by Zhao Ming in the Han Dynasty, "Come from afar, leave me two carp. Tell the boy to open the wooden box and write a letter with a ruler. The carp in it refers to a complete letter. 2, fish: refers to the envelope bag (because in ancient times, the container of letters was carved out of wood); 3. Goose: refers to homesickness; Second, it refers to the animal postman who delivers letters (because geese fly south every winter, the ancients will use it to deliver letters, and later they will use flying pigeons to deliver letters because of poor accuracy). Therefore, future generations will use "fish and geese going back and forth" as the corresponding pronoun. Hongyan is a large migratory bird, which moves southward every autumn, often causing homesickness and wandering sorrow. For example, Xue Daoheng, a native of Sui Dynasty, wrote: "People return to yan zhen, thinking before flowers. "I had the idea of going home long before the flowers bloomed; But when the geese returned to the north, people had not returned home. When the poet was an official in the Northern Dynasties, he sent an envoy to the Southern Dynasties and wrote this homesick poem in a subtle and tactful way. There are also stories about geese, such as "Smelling geese at night, homesickness, and getting sick in the New Year" (Ouyang Xiu plays Yuan Zhen), and "The stars are broken, and the flute sounds like people leaning against the building" (Zhao Xie's "Looking at Autumn in Chang 'an" in the Tang Dynasty). There are also letters referred to by Hongyan. Everyone is familiar with the allusions of Hongyan biography, and the application of Hongyan as a messenger in poetry is also very common. For example, "There are no brocade books in the clouds, and the geese return to the west wing full of the moon", "The geese pass without answering me, and the river is full of autumn water" (To Li Bai at the end of the sky by Du Fu) and so on. According to Su Hanwu Biography, Xiongnu Shan deceived China's envoy, saying that Su Wu was dead, and China's envoy deliberately said that the Emperor shot down a swan flying from the north when hunting, with silk on his feet, which was written by Su Wu. Khan had to let Su Wu go. Later, they used "Hongyan", "Yan Shu", "Yanzu" and "Yuyan" to refer to letters. 4, sheep: auspicious. For example: The Book of Songs? There is a saying in Zhao Nan that "Wang Wen is in charge, and his virtue is like a lamb". The word "sheep" has existed since ancient times, meaning auspicious. Three sheep means "three yang" and three yang. On the ninth, second and third day of divination, the anode is weak and the yin is weak. It means exorcism, and good luck will follow. Therefore, sheep are regarded as auspicious symbols. 5. phoenix nirvana: it means the persistent spirit of never looking back and constantly pursuing and perfecting oneself without fear of pain. 6. Butterfly: It means auspiciousness, beauty, sweetness and love; 7. Swallow: It symbolizes love because of flying together; 8. Partridge: Missing, nostalgia and sadness. The song of partridge makes people sound like "I can't live without my brother", which is very easy to evoke the association of hard journey and full of parting. For example, "The sun sets, the autumn grass is bright, and the partridges are singing far away" (Li Qunyu's "Smelling the partridges on Jiuzipo" in the Tang Dynasty) expresses sadness. And "When you are worried about the river in the evening, you can hear the partridges in the mountains" (Xin Qiji's "Bodhisattva Man Building a Wall in Jiangxi"). The partridge in the poem is not a bird in a purely objective sense. 9. Horse: Metaphorical ambition; 10, cuckoo: In ancient mythology, Du Yu, the king of Shu, was forced to give way to his courtiers and live in seclusion in the mountains. After his death, his soul became a cuckoo. Therefore, the cuckoo in ancient poetry has become a symbol of desolation and sadness. Li Bai's "I heard that Wang Changling moved to Zuo Long to express Yao's letter": "Huayang fell to the ground and Wendao Longdu crossed five streams. I am worried about the bright moon, and I will go to Yelangxi with the wind. " The cuckoo is a kind of bird. The first sentence is the scene of the eyes, which conveys the feeling of parting and sadness in the bleak natural scenery. Three or four sentences express infinite nostalgia and deep sympathy for friends with the rich imagination of caring for the bright moon. He Zhu, a poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote "Remembering Qin E": "In the middle of the night, pear blossoms and snow just fell in the atrium; Pear blossoms are overwhelming, and azaleas cry blood. " In the middle of the night, the moonlight shines on the snow-white pear flowers in the courtyard, and the cuckoo is mourning, which makes people miss their loved ones more and feel sad. Poets express their deep homesickness by describing sad scenery. Others, such as "the lonely pavilion is cold in spring, the cuckoo sounds in the sunset" (Walking on the sand), "Zi Gui still cries blood in the middle of the night, but he can't call it back if he doesn't believe in the east wind" (Ling's "Sending Spring"), all express his sadness or homesickness with the cuckoo's wailing. 1 1, cicada: it means noble conduct. The ancients thought that cicada eating wind and drinking dew was a symbol of nobility, so the ancients often used cicada's nobility to express its noble character. "Tang Poetry" says: "Every time a cicada sings, it respects its nature." Because cicadas live on high branches, eat wind and sleep outdoors, and don't eat fireworks, so their moral character belongs to lofty type. A political prisoner is listening to Luo's Cicada: "Who knows if he is still singing?" Li Shangyin's Cicada: I am pure in mind, so I long to live a pure life like you. Wang's: "I am noble and I am in pain." Yu Shinan's Cicada: "It is not the autumn wind that makes you aloof." They all use cicadas as a metaphor for noble morality. 12, chilling: sad. After autumn, cicadas will not live long. After some autumn rains, cicadas will make a few intermittent moans, and their lives are at stake. Therefore, chilling has become synonymous with sadness. For example, Dondero's "Chanting Cicada" begins with two sentences: "The cicadas in the west are singing, and the guests in the south are thinking deeply." Singing in silence makes you deeply homesick in prison. Liu Yong, a poet in the Song Dynasty, began: "Cold cicadas are sad, the pavilion is late, and the shower is early." Before the direct description of parting, the feeling of "sadness" has filled the reader's heart, brewing an atmosphere that can touch parting. "Cold cicadas sing on my side"; 13, Yuanyang: refers to a loving couple. For example, "Why did you quit when you succeeded? Better be a mandarin duck than a fairy "(Tang Lu Zhao Lin's" Ancient Meaning of Chang 'an "); 14, crow: a sign of decline and desolation. According to superstition, crow is an ominous bird. It often haunts graves and other desolate places. China's classical poems are often associated with decadent and desolate things. Li Shangyin's Sui Palace: Fireflies have gone and left the place where the wind blows, but they are still in the weeping willows, and crows inhabit at dusk. Fang Ting, the man of Qin Guan: "Beyond the sunset, there are 10,000 points in Western jackdaw in the west, and the water flows around the lonely village." Ma Zhiyuan's poem "Tianjingsha Qiu Si": "Dead vines, old trees, faint cries. "15, cricket: meaning to miss the recruitment, etc. Crickets, as the object of chanting, were first seen in The Book of Songs, Wind in July. It observed the activity law of crickets in detail: "July is in the wild, August is in the house, September is in the house, and October crickets enter my bed." "At that time, the ancients thought that the sound of cricket was similar to that of a loom, and the season was late autumn, so they associated it with promoting people's textiles, preparing winter clothes, and even lacking hiring. Crickets are directly called "promoting weaving" and appear in Nineteen Ancient Poems: "The moon is bright, and promoting weaving is famous in the East Wall. "Qi Tianle" by Jiang Kui: "Sadness is like resentment. I've been thinking about my wife all night, and I'm looking for an opportunity. Qu qu ping shan, I am very emotional when it is cold at night. "It wrote about a woman who remembered the melancholy of people far away after hearing the voice of crickets. 16, apes cry: appearing in poetry often symbolizes a sad feeling. Du Fu's Ascending the Mountain: "The ape whimpers in the fierce wind from the wide sky" In Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics and Rivers, the fisherman sings: "The Wuxia Gorge of the Three Gorges in Badong is long, and the ape sings three times with tears. "Li Duan's" Send a guest to the night ape in Bajiang ":"Bashui is far away, crying apes hurts the guest's feelings. "They all use apes to express this sad mood. 17, cotton bollworm: refers to adopted son. " Poem Xiaoya Little Bowl: "A moth has a son, and a cockroach has a win and a loss. "Yao Ying (a kind of bee) catches moths for food, pierces them with ovipositor tubes, injects bee venom into their bodies to paralyze them, and then puts them into the hive as food for Yao Ying larvae. The ancients mistakenly thought that cockroaches prevailed and raised moths as sons, because they were called moths as sons. 18, two-winged bird: loving couple. A legendary bird, male and female always fly together, which is used to describe loving couples in classical poetry. Legend has it that in old China, King Kang of Song married Han Ping, an official, and imprisoned Han Ping. Han committed suicide and his wife's clothes were rotten. When she went on stage to play with King Kang, she threw herself under the stage and everyone pulled his clothes. As a result, she fell to her death, leaving a suicide note saying that Han Ping was buried together, but Kang Wang buried them in two places. Soon, a catalpa tree was born on each of the two graves, and it grew very thick in ten days. The roots and branches of two trees are intertwined, and there is a pair of mandarin ducks on the tree, groaning at each other. Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow: "On the seventh day of July, in the Palace of Eternal Life, we secretly told each other in the quiet midnight world. We hope to fly in heaven, where two birds become one and grow on the earth, and two branches of a tree ... "19, Deer: The Legend of Han Kuai Tong by Yu Di:" Qin lost its deer, and the world * * * chased it. " Yan Shigu quoted Zhang Yan as saying, "Use deer as a metaphor for the throne. "Later, I used it to compete with the world. Wei Zhi's Shu Huai: "At the beginning of the Central Plains, I fought for deer and threw my pen at Rong Xuan." 20, chicken ribs: chicken ribs, "tasteless food, it is a pity to abandon. "Metaphor is something of no value and significance (see the reflection, Shu Wei and the Ji of Emperor Wudi). 2 1, morning glory: it means to be in a leading position in a certain aspect. In ancient times, the governors made a pact to ask everyone to taste some blood for sacrifice, and the people in the main alliance personally cut off the ears of cattle to get blood, so they used "holding the ears of cattle" to refer to the leaders. Later, it refers to being in a leading position in a certain aspect. " "Zuo Zhuan's seventeen years of mourning for the public": "Who is the leader of the vassal alliance? "Later, it often refers to being in a leading position in a certain aspect. Huang Zongxi's Preface to Jiang Shanqi's Pengshan Poems: "Taicang is the best in the world." (Taicang, name) 22. Jingwei: It means persistence. Ancient myths. Yan Di's daughter drowned in the southeast sea, and became a Jingwei bird. Every day, she filled the East China Sea with wood and stones from the western hills (see Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing). Later, Jingwei's reclamation was used to describe a deep hatred and a determination to repay the kindness. It is also a metaphor for not being afraid of difficulties and working hard. 23. "After the Chicken Mouth" by Han Ce of the Warring States Policy: "It is better to be a chicken mouth than a cow queen." Metaphor would rather be the master of the country in a small situation than be dominated by others in a big situation. 24. Jade Bird: Messenger. Bluebird, it is said that the Queen Mother of the West has three bluebirds. One of them was sent as an emissary to inform Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the other two came with the Queen Mother of the West to serve her. Li Wangjing, the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem: "The bluebird doesn't spread the news outside the cloud, and the lilacs are sad in the rain." Li Shangyin said in a poem: "There are many ways to Pengshan. Oh, Bluebird, listen! -Give me what she said! . "Jade bird has become the messenger of the book here. 25, fishing: meaning ambitious. It is said that there are five mountains drifting with the waves to the east of the ancient Bohai Sea. God told fifteen big aojiang to guard them, and the mountain was settled. A giant of Youbo raised his foot and took a few steps before he reached the place where there were five mountains. He only caught six aojiang at a time, so two mountains sank to the bottom of the sea. Later, it refers to heroic behavior or great ambition. Li Bai's "Letter to Xue Pai": "Don't boast about watching the sea, be depressed and catch your heart. "
