What does the ancient mirror mean?

In ancient times, looking in the mirror was a manifestation of spiritual culture and had certain symbolic significance. In the poems of the Tang Dynasty, the image of looking in the mirror was widely used, depicting the scene of women dressing up in front of the mirror and reflecting on their own image. Looking in the mirror not only symbolizes people's vanity and yearning for a better image, but also reflects people's thinking about themselves and their examination of their mental state.

As a symbol of spiritual culture, mirrors were widely used in ancient times. By reflecting on the mirror, people can observe their faces, manners and demeanor, so as to discover and understand their own advantages and disadvantages. At the same time, looking in the mirror has also become a way to express feelings, such as "Heron House" by Wang Zhihuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. "The mountains cover the day, the sea drains the golden river, and you want to see thousands of miles, by going up one flight of stairs." From this, we can see that he is confident and open-minded about himself, and at the same time shows his positive attitude towards life.

The mirror is not only the cultural symbol of ancient China, but also one of the important elements in the traditional culture of China. Besides being used in women's dressing, in China's ancient operas, the inner world of characters is often revealed through the lens of a mirror. In modern times, looking in the mirror has become an indispensable part of modern people's lives. People look at their external image and internal quality by looking in the mirror. In the traditional culture of China, the mirror is not only a symbolic object, but also the meaning of people's self-examination and transcendence.
