Wild geese are beautiful and elegant migratory birds. They travel through Qian Shan and the ocean in spring and autumn in search of new habitats and food. The flying mode, behavior characteristics and calls of geese are all objects of praise and praise, so geese often become one of the themes of poets' creation.
In China's ancient poems, geese often appear as an image, which is regarded as a symbol of faith, loyalty and sincere friendship. Li Bai's "Into the Wine" wrote: "A gust of wind came with catkins to make the shop more fragrant. A girl from Wu poured wine and urged me to drink with her. Jin ge's horse is in the clouds, and the road is not long. Affectionate Ying Xiao Wo, Fahua, who was born early and crazy. " In this word, the wild goose is the companion of Jin Goma Tie, symbolizing loyalty and courage.
Wang Zhihuan, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "The Heron Pavilion": "The mountains cover the daytime, and the sea exhausts the golden river. But as long as you go up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles. " In this poem, the wild goose symbolizes going forward bravely and constantly surpassing itself.
Xin Qiji, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in "Jade Case Yuan Xi": "Where will I wake up tonight? There is a breeze and a waning moon on the bank of Yangliu. This is a long time, people who love each other are not together, and I even expect to be satisfied with the good weather and scenery in name only. Even if there are thousands of customs in Qian Qian, who should I talk to? " . In this word, the wild goose is an emotional homesick image.
Besides appearing in poems as poetic images, geese have a special position in Chinese character culture and are important images in China traditional culture. In Zuo Zhuan, there is a story of "strange geese whine and have no companion to return", which is used to describe asking relatives and friends for help when encountering misfortune.
Generally speaking, geese frequently appear in China literature as poetic images, not only because they are beautiful, brave and loyal images, but also because they are closely related to the life of ancient China literati. In modern society, geese still bear the emotions and images in traditional culture and become a beautiful image in people's minds.
