Bajiao always represents loneliness and sorrow in ancient poetry. What is the reason? In ancient times, many literati often wrote about these two things and had a special liking for them. Plantain and sycamore represent loneliness and sadness. The poet Li Yu mentioned in "Happy Meeting", "I went up to the west tower alone without words, the moon was like a hook, and the lonely sycamores in the deep courtyard locked the autumn." Sad poet, the wind blew the fallen leaves, the raindrops dropped on the sycamore trees, it was extremely desolate! Xu Zaisi also said in "Little Fairy Night Rain", "The sound of phoenix leaves means autumn, and the sound of banana leaves means sadness." The poet is still worried. On a rainy night in late autumn, listening to the sound of rain hitting the phoenix trees and banana leaves, he has thousands of thoughts. , who doesn’t worry about heartbreak?
Panana and sycamore also represent the mood of separation and farewell. The poet Li Qingzhao also wrote in "Slow Sound", "The sycamore trees are drizzled, and at dusk, bit by bit. This time, how can the word "sorrow" be used?" Yes, both Bajiao and Wutong can't bear the sorrow of separation. What can people do? Even now, let alone how unhappy you feel, when a rain forces you under the banana and sycamore trees, maybe your thoughts will be more "sorrowful" than those of the ancients! The leaves of banana trees and sycamore trees are relatively wide. Raindrops can make a clear sound when they hit the leaves, and you can also see water droplets sprinkled all over the leaves. It can easily arouse the associations of ancient poets, evoke emotions and poetic feelings. For example: when you know it is raining at night through the window, the sound of banana comes first. Another example: What is the most hurtful thing in front of your pillow? There are little dewdrops on the sycamore leaves.
People give sycamores and plantains beautiful meanings, so they are often written into poems. In my opinion, plantain and sycamore are both green plants, which means they are full of vitality and vitality; and their leaves are relatively wide and are easily affected by wind and rain; they may make rustling or ticking sounds when the wind blows or rains. Therefore, these two plants appear in ancient poetry and often express emotions such as desolation, longing, or sadness. Plantains and sycamores are often used as themes for poetry by literati. In addition, the leaves of these two plants are wide and the sound of rain hitting them is loud and unique, so they are often accompanied by rain in poetry.
