Why does "wood" in China's classical poems imply "fallen leaves"?

"Mu Ye" is a common image in Chinese classical poetry, which first appeared in Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs", "The autumn wind curled up and the waves in Dongting were under Mu Ye". The "middle" wood of konoha means tree, and konoha means leaves, especially the fallen leaves in classical poetry. It is suggestive, reminiscent of fallen leaves in autumn, giving people a sense of loneliness and creating a sad artistic style.

The word "konoha" is a common image in China's ancient poems.

Source: Qu Yuan's Chu Ci "Nine Songs, Mrs. Xiang"-"Di Zi went down to Zhu Bei with awkward eyes; Autumn wind blows, and Dongting waves are under the leaves. " [ 1]

Explanation: Literally, "wood" means "tree" and "wood leaf" means "leaf"; [2] But in poetry, "konoha" refers to the fallen leaves in autumn, which has a bleak artistic conception compared with "leaves".

Scope of application: Describe the autumn scenery with fallen leaves.
