Images of common things in poetry

1, Mingyue: Moon In China's ancient poems, it is a common brushwork to use the moon to set off feelings. Generally speaking, the moon in ancient poems is synonymous with homesickness. For example, Li Bai's "Thinking about a Quiet Night" said: "My foot of the bed is so bright, is there frost already? Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, sinking again, and I suddenly thought of home. "

2. Pine, plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum are called "four gentlemen of the poor", which are the image incarnations of high morality and respect for evil. The ancients often used these four images to express their ambitions and integrity. Pine trees are often used to symbolize isolated and straight products.

3. Chrysanthemum: As the flower of Ao Shuang, it has always been favored by scholars. Some people praise its strong character, while others appreciate its lofty temperament. Example: Tang Yuanzhen's Chrysanthemum: "Autumn bushes are like potters, and the more they bypass the fence, the more inclined they are. It's not that chrysanthemums are preferred in flowers, but that this flower is even more flowerless. " Expressed the poet's pursuit of firmness and noble character.

4. Plum blossom: Plum blossom blooms first, and then flowers bloom. Therefore, plum blossoms, like chrysanthemums, are admired and praised by poets.

Example: Plum Blossom by Chen Liang in Song Dynasty: "A flower suddenly changes and a hundred flowers blossom." The poet grasped the characteristic that plum blossoms are the first to bloom, and wrote the quality of being the first in the world and not afraid of setbacks. This is not only Yongmei, but also praising himself.

5. Pine tree: Pine tree is a model of fighting frost and snow, and it is naturally the object of eulogy.

Example: Serina Liu in the Three Kingdoms period gave a gift to his younger brother: "Don't suffer from cold, pine and cypress are sexual." The poet used this sentence to encourage his cousin to be as loyal as sending pines and cypresses, and to maintain noble quality under any circumstances.

6. Lotus: Because "lotus" and "pity" are homonyms, there are many poems about lotus in ancient poetry to express love.

Example: "Xizhou Qu" by Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties: "In autumn, lotus is picked in Nantang, and the lotus is over the head; Bow your head to get lotus seeds, which are as green as water. "

7. Indus River: The Indus River is a symbol of desolation and sadness.

Example: Wang Changling's Poem on Long Letters in Autumn: "The phoenix tree in Jinjing is yellow in autumn leaves, and the pearl curtain does not roll 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.

8. Partridge: The image of partridge also has a specific connotation in ancient poetry. The song of partridge makes people sound like "I can't live without my brother", which is very easy to evoke the association of hard journey and full of parting.

Examples: "When the sun sets in the west, the grass is bright and the autumn colors are bright, and the partridges are far away" (Li Qunyu's Jiuzipo Smells the partridges in the Tang Dynasty), "When the river is worried in the evening, the mountains are deep and the partridges are heard" (Xin Qiji's Bodhisattva Man, Writing a Wall in Jiangxi) and so on.

9. Chill: Qiu Chan won't live long. After the autumn rain, cicadas will make several intermittent moans, and their lives are at stake. Therefore, chilling has become synonymous with sadness.

For example, the first two sentences of Dondero's Chanting the Cicadas: "The cicadas in the west sing, and the guests in the south think." Singing in silence makes you deeply homesick in prison. Liu Yong, a poet in the Song Dynasty, began: "Cold cicadas are sad, the pavilion is late, and the shower is early." Before the direct description of parting, the feeling of "sadness" has filled the reader's heart, brewing an atmosphere that can touch parting.

10, Hongyan: Hongyan is a large migratory bird, which moves southward every autumn, often causing homesickness and wandering sorrow. There are also letters referred to by Hongyan. Everyone is familiar with the allusions of Hongyan biography, and the application of Hongyan as a messenger in poetry is also very common.

Example: Xue Daoheng, a native of Sui Dynasty, wrote "People miss home every day": "People return to yan zhen and miss flowers before." I had the idea of going home long before the flowers bloomed. But when the geese returned to the north, people had not returned home.

Example: "The geese cross the river and don't answer me, and the river is full of autumn water" (To Li Bai at the End of the Sky by Du Fu)

1 1, Cao Fang: the metaphor of resentment in China's classical poems.

Example: "Chu Ci Zhao Yin Di": "Wang Sun swims without returning, and spring grass grows." "Lush" means lush spring grass. Spring grass is lush, spring scenery is sultry, and Iraqis have not returned, which inevitably makes homesick women stay upstairs. Yuefu's "Hege Drinking Horses in the Cave of the Great Wall" and "Grass by the Qingqing River in Philip Burkart Road" stand up with "grass by the Qingqing River" to express your thoughts about the Iraqis in the distance. Li Yu's Qing Ping Le: "If you hate like spring grass, you can go further and live better." With endless spring grass, far away from the horizon, it is a metaphor for the sadness of parting.

12, Changting: It is a farewell place on land.

Example: Li Bai's Bodhisattva Taoist: "Where is the return journey? The pavilion is shorter. "

13, crow: According to superstition, it is an ominous bird, which often haunts desolate places such as graves. China's classical poems are often associated with decadent and desolate things.

For example, Li Shangyin's Sui Palace: The fireflies have gone and left the weathered grassland, but the crows are still weeping at dusk. Fang Ting, the man of Qin Guan, said, "Outside the setting sun, there are ten thousand points in west Western jackdaw, and the water flows around the lonely village." Ma Zhiyuan's poem "Tianjingsha Qiu Si": "Old vine, faint crow."

14, ape cry: Appearing in poetry often symbolizes a sad feeling.

For example, Du Fu's Ascending the Mountain: "The ape whimpers in the wide sky and the sudden wind" In Li Daoyuan's Jiang Shui in Zhu Xiaojing, the fisherman sings: "The Wuxia of the Three Gorges in Badong is long, and the ape cries three tears and touches his clothes." Li Duan's "Send a guest to Bajiang Night Ape": "Bashui is far away, crying apes hurts the guests." They all use apes to express this sad mood.

15, Guanshan: Guansai Mountain River. Pass, pass fortress; Mountains and rivers.

Example: Gao Dao's "Plug the flute": "Where does the plum blossom fall? The wind blew all over the mountain overnight. " Plum Blossom Fall is the name of the tune. Where did the flute go? The wind blew the melodious flute and filled the frontier fortress overnight.

16, connected branch, two-winged bird: connected branch refers to two trees connected together. Love birds, a legendary bird, is used as a metaphor for loving couples in classical poetry. Legend has it that in old China, King Kang of Song married Han Ping, an official, and imprisoned Han Ping. Han committed suicide and his wife's clothes were rotten. When she went on stage to play with King Kang, she threw herself under the stage and everyone pulled his clothes. As a result, she fell to her death, leaving a suicide note saying that Han Ping was buried together, but Kang Wang buried them in two places. Soon, a catalpa tree was born on each of the two graves, and it grew very thick in ten days. The roots and branches of two trees are intertwined, and there is a pair of mandarin ducks on the tree, groaning at each other.

Example: Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow: "On the seventh day of July, in the Palace of Eternal Life, we secretly told each other in the quiet midnight world. We hope to fly in heaven, two birds grow together on the earth with the same wing, two branches of a tree ... "

17, red beans: Red beans are acacia beans, which refer to the keepsake of love between men and women. Zhou Nan's story is called Sea Red Bean, which is recorded in history as "from the garden of Nanhai people". Herbal medicine calls it "acacia".

For example, Wang Wei's poem "Acacia" says: "When those red berries come in spring, the branches of your southern country will rise; For me, take a hug home as a symbol of our love. " The poet expressed his affection for his friends through red beans born in the south. It is easy to lose respect in the Qing Dynasty. Jin: "Sitting on the bed of red beans, I miss you every day." That is, I sleep under the acacia tree every day and miss Wang Jinshi. It was very popular in the Tang Dynasty. Often used to symbolize love or lovesickness.

18, Falling Flowers: The ancients said that "falling flowers are intentional" and lamented the impermanence of life from falling flowers, which is a typical theme of China's ancient poems. The image of "falling flowers" often represents the shortness of life, the sadness of cherishing spring and the anxiety and sadness of death.

Examples: Langtaosha by Li Yu, Flowing Water Falling in Spring, Going to Heaven and Earth, A Generation of Sad Pulsatilla by Tang Poets, Luoyang Daughter Cherish Color, Sit and Watch the Falling Flowers Sigh, Huanxisha by Yan Shu, Flowers Falling Helplessly, Seems to Meet Yan Gui, and Chao Huang by Yuan Anonymous. Hey? Draw a picture? What's the matter with you? What happened? Argon? Are you hiding? Is the pot of hydrogen simple? Hey?

19, Yi Dao Anvil: In classical poetry, it often represents the melancholy and confusion of the boudoir missing her husband. Autumn has arrived, and the husband who is far away from home has no clothes to keep out the cold, and he has placed endless care and thoughts in the sound of rags.

Example: The Southern Dynasty folk song "Qingyangdu" "Jasper beats the anvil, and the seven treasures are golden lotus pestle. Hold it high and beat it for you slowly and gently. " Zhang Tang Xu Ruo's Moonlight on the Spring River "Moonlight on the poor building should be reserved for people to fill the mirror. The curtain of Yuhu Lake could not be rolled up, but it was brushed back on the anvil. "

20, cold clothes: related to the anvil, today there is the custom of sending cold clothes on October 1. Show your love and yearning for your loved ones through cold clothes.

Example: Jiang Shiquan's "Arriving Home at the End of the Year" in the Qing Dynasty "I love my son endlessly, and I am happy to get home. Cold clothes are needle and thread, and letters from home are ink stains. You get thin when you meet your neighbors and ask them questions. I am ashamed of the son of man and dare not sigh. " "Yugan Hotel" by Liu Changqing in Tang Dynasty "Where are the cold clothes going?"

That's all I can find. There's nothing I can do.
