(A), the image and meaning of noble personality
In that era when everyone could sing, the ancestors sang phoenix and phoenix tree together, sang together and yearned together, giving this object a subjective meaning. From then on, in the eyes of China literati, Phoenix and Indus lived and died together, both gorgeous, noble and noble. Therefore, the phoenix tree symbolizes noble and beautiful character in ancient poetry.
Such as "Feng Huangming Yi", in Jeremy goldkorn. Wutong was born in Chenyang ("The Book of Songs, Elegant Volume I"), and the poet chimed the bells with the phoenix, singing over the hills; The phoenix tree grows wildly, covered with brilliant sunrise, symbolizing noble and beautiful character. Another example is "hanging down and drinking clear dew, listening to sparse tung." It's not the autumn wind that makes you aloof "(Yu Shinan's Cicada). This poem, with tall and straight buttonwood trees and sparse green leaves as the shelter of cicadas, describes the nobility of cicadas and implies the beauty of their own character. Zhuangzi also said in Autumn Water: "Husband and wife originated in the South China Sea and flew to the North Sea, which is not a phoenix tree. "Stork is a kind of bird called phoenix in ancient books. It was born in the South China Sea, but flew to the North Sea, and only the phoenix tree was its shelter. The phoenix tree here is also a symbol of nobility. Therefore, there is an ancient saying that "planting tung attracts phoenix".
(B), the image and significance of faithful love
In ancient times, it was said that the phoenix tree was a male tree, and the phoenix tree was a female tree. The phoenix tree grew together with the old, lived together, and died together. The phoenix tree had tall branches and deep roots. In the poet's pen, it became a symbol of faithful love.
Such as: "Raqqa trees are two and two mature, and mandarin ducks die side by side." (Jiao Yong Fu Cao) Another example is "Planting pine and cypress in the east, and planting phoenix trees in the left and right. The leaves are flourishing and the leaves are communicating. " (Peacock Flying Southeast), the poem is covered with branches and leaves of pine, cypress and phoenix trees, symbolizing the loyalty of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing to love. The couple, who pursued pure love and resisted feudal ethics, were forced to separate before they died and buried together in Jiuquan. Can it not be shocking?
(C), lonely and sad images and implications
Qiu Lai phoenix tree likes falling leaves, and the broad phoenix tree leaves fall from the high branches, causing eternal sadness. Therefore, it is good to use phoenix tree to describe autumn and sadness in ancient poetry. The wind blows the leaves, and the rain is like a phoenix tree, which is a sad scene. The phoenix tree has become a lonely and sad image in the works of literati.
Such as "lonely west wing, bright moon like a hook." The lonely phoenix tree locks the deep courtyard in the clear autumn (Li Yu's "Hui Huan"), vividly writing the lonely phase of the monarch who died in the lonely deep courtyard. The heavy door was locked, and Gu Ying lingered. Only the cold moonlight shed from the cracks in the branches and leaves of the phoenix tree. How sad! He used to be the monarch above all others, but now he is a prisoner, full of sorrow. When is the hatred of national subjugation? Another example is "autumn leaves are a little banana and a little sorrow" (Xu Zaisi's Narcissus Night Rain). On the lonely night in late autumn, the night rain dripped on the phoenix tree and banana, and every sound made the lovesick people generate leave Qiu Si and feel disappointed. This is not only a lovesick song on a rainy night, but also a picture of a beautiful autumn night! Faced with this situation, the pain of acacia rose from the poet's heart. The author's description of the rain-beaten indus plantain is full of emotion, mixed with scenes, sad and confused, and far-reaching in artistic conception.
(4) The image and implication of parting.
Among the poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, Wu Tong's feelings of parting and the images and meanings of blaming others are the most.
For example, in Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow, "Peach and plum blossom, the spring breeze blows, the autumn rain falls, and the willow blossoms bloom", the poet compares the past grand occasion with the present desolation, and depicts the desolate scene after Tang Gaozong lost Yang Guifei because of the Anshi Rebellion. After Tang returned to the palace, his eyes
Looking at the past and feeling the scenery, where is the beauty of the past? By comparing the scenery in spring and autumn, the poet alludes to the lifelong regret brought by the lingering beauty of the monarch. Such as "buttonwood, it rains in the middle of the night, and it is bitter to leave." A leaf, a sound, empty footsteps dripping on Ming "(Wen," More Leakage "), in autumn night, cold raindrops fell on the leaves of the plane, a woman living alone in the autumn boudoir, her fragile and sensitive heart could no longer bear the pain of parting, lingering, bitter and sad, and sleepless all night. Its significance is profound and unforgettable. Another example is "phoenix tree raining, dripping at dusk." "How can I get a sad word this time?" (Li Qingzhao's "Slow Voice", Li Qingzhao, who lives alone after her husband's death, suffers from the pain of national ruin and death. At this time, the poetess stood at the window of independence, the rain whipped the phoenix tree, her voice was desolate and lonely, and she deeply missed her husband. These sad words make people cry, which can be called the swan song of writing sadness.
As a classic image in ancient poetry, Indus has gradually gained its unique and profound symbolic significance and cultural connotation in the development of poetry for thousands of years. The phoenix tree image in poetry has many different meanings. The phoenix tree symbolizes noble character, the male tree symbolizes loyal love, and the phoenix tree has loneliness and sadness that cannot be eliminated in autumn. When parting, the phoenix tree bears the feeling of parting and does not hate it.
