? In China's ancient poems, poets often express their feelings with some concrete things, which have been endowed with relatively fixed connotations and loaded with specific emotions in the long historical process. The following is my analysis of common images in poetry:
(1) The most common image is a plant. Like a tree, ups and downs represent the ups and downs of career and life.
Yellow leaves represent withering, maturity, beautiful withering and metabolism, while green leaves symbolize vitality, hope and vitality. Stacking cigarettes on willow trees can trigger past events and is often used to express the feeling of ups and downs. Red leaves are called sentimental things, and later they are used to express feelings with poems. The following is a concrete example analysis:
Indus-Sadness: The Indus is a symbol of 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." Use buttonwood leaves to fall, rain to hit banana, and write down all your worries.
Pine tree-unyielding: pine tree is also a model to fight frost and snow, and it is 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. During the Three Kingdoms period, Serina Liu gave it to my brother: "If you don't suffer from cold, pine and cypress are sexual." The poet used this sentence to encourage his cousin to be as firm and upright as a pine and cypress, and to maintain noble quality under any circumstances.
Secondly, animals: for example, apes represent sadness, such as Du Fu's Climbing Up, and The Ape Sobs in the High Wind. Swan represents ideal and pursuit, and fish is free. Eagle represents tenacity, freedom, struggle in life and success in career. Crows symbolize villains, ordinary people and sadness. Sha Ou stands for falling and sadness. For example, double carp refers to letters. Han Yuefu's poem "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Grottoes" said: "Guests come from afar and leave me a pair of carp. Hu Er cooks carp with books in it. " Later, I wrote a distant letter with double carp.
(3) Objects: Jade represents nobility, revisiting the old place and striving for perfection, pearls symbolize beauty and flawless, and anvil symbolizes women's yearning for their husbands.
? Image is indispensable in poetry, which can express the poet's thoughts and feelings more vividly and make things more vivid.
