Letters were called "fish geese" in ancient times. In ancient China, there was a close relationship between fish geese and letters, and there were many records in ancient poems.

Interpreting the Ancient Poems of Wild Goose

Li Qingzhao wrote in "A Cut of Plums, Red Lotus, Fragrant Fragrance and Jade Autumn": The word "Yan" returns, and the West Building will be full tomorrow. In the word, the geese fly into a word or a herringbone to express their concern for their distant husbands. What is used between the lines is obviously the legend of The Legend of Hongyan. Today we will talk about the image of goose in ancient poetry.

Wild goose, also known as Hong. In the enlightenment of melody, it is said that "come to Hong and go to Yan". Wild goose is a magical animal in the eyes of the ancients, with five virtues: benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and faith.

In folk customs, geese are also closely related to marriage. The traditional wedding ceremony is divided into six steps: accepting gifts, asking names, accepting gifts, inviting guests and welcoming them in person. Among them, except for the need for cloth, the other five gifts are all made of goose as a gift from the man to the woman. The reason is that geese have the above beautiful qualities, which means good luck.

Goose, as a wedding gift, is faithful to husband and wife. Migrating with the sun with geese means that women get married and get married. Take the unity of strict array as an example, and an orderly marriage as an example. Of course, not only weddings, but also the meeting of ancient literati and even masters can send geese to show their grandeur.

Because geese are difficult to catch, people use them instead. Goose is also called Yan Shu, or domestic goose. In modern wedding customs, sending geese comes from sending geese. In the impression of the ancients, geese often flew with reeds in their arms. It is said that their main purpose is to avoid payment from hunters and entanglement with wings. This statement is far-fetched. Zoologists explained that wild geese hold reeds in their mouths to build nests and brood.

The symbolic significance of goose in ancient poetry;

1. On behalf of the letter, as the saying goes, fish and geese pass books, or geese call books. In the Western Han Dynasty, Su Wu was demoted as an envoy of Xiongnu, and he worked as a shepherd in Xiongnu for 19 years. Later, an envoy from the Han Dynasty came to Xiongnu and said that the son of heaven was hunting in Shanglinyuan, and he caught a wild goose with a letter tied to his foot.

It is said that Su Wu has been detained, and Attila wants to put Su Wu back. The punctuality of geese in North-South communication has aroused people's imagination of Hongyan's passing books.
