On the Image of "Wild Goose" in Ancient Poetry
In the season when yellow leaves are flying, you can often see flocks of geese flying south when you look up at the frosty sky in Wan Li. They lined up neatly. When? One? When words line up, they cross? People? The ancients often called them Yan Zhen, Yan Zi and Xu Yan. Wild geese are migratory birds, migrating in the spring and autumn, and naturally become the object of lyrical literati. Is it in China's earliest collection of poems, The Book of Songs? Hongyan flies in the air, swishing its wings. The man left home for a long trip. ? This poem. In ancient poetry, the image of geese is often endowed with rich emotions by poets, which is closely related to the change of seasons, the passage of time, the wandering against the journey, the thinking of women on the fence and so on. Or render the atmosphere, showing the sadness of the environment; Or write picturesque, showing lofty and vast; Or refer to letters to express ardent expectations, or compare yourself and show loneliness; Or touch the homesickness and affection of the wanderer. The richness of images and expressions is unmatched by other things.

First, it causes homesickness and affection, and expresses the lingering thoughts of wandering women.

Wild geese are migratory birds, which migrate with the change of seasons, flying north in spring and returning south in autumn. When the seasons change, the geese seem to be struggling to fly back to their nests, which often evokes people's delicate feelings such as homesickness and parting. Therefore, poets often express their deep homesickness and endless affection through geese. ? The scenery in Qiu Lai is different, and Hengyang Goose is unknown. ? (Fan Zhongyan's "Fisherman's Pride"); ? Battlefield battle, things change, geese can go home, when will people return? A vagrant heard the drums heralding the battle, which was the first call of a wild goose on the border in autumn. ? (Du Fu's Moonlight Remembers My Brother); ? In the dead of night, homesick, autumn geese are ruthless. Why do you cry and break people's intestines? Wild geese crow in red leaves, people get drunk in yellow flowers, and banana rains in Qiu Meng. ? (Zhang Kejiu "Qingjiang cited? Qiu Huai "); Red leaves are all over the sky, yellow flowers are piled up, and the sound of rain is falling, which will naturally hurt the feelings of geese. Also homesick, who can be as enthusiastic as Zhang Kejiu? Strong on the green hills, black veil, returning to the wild goose for autumn, tired of homesickness. ? (Sister-in-law Order); Who can be as solemn as Liu Rui? The wet cloud sticks to the goose shadow, and it is difficult to leave the mood when looking at the road. ? (Rui Hexian); Who can be as upset as Zhao Wei? The heart of the country is endless, and a wild goose crosses the South Tower. ? (cold pond). Who can wait as hard as Li Qingzhao and write forever in his heart? Who sent the brocade book? The word goose returns, and the moon is full of the west building. ? (Dried Plums); Who can be as empty and melancholy as Li Yu's thinking woman? Chrysanthemums bloom, chrysanthemums stay, geese fly high, people don't return, and a curtain is idle. ? (sauvignon blanc) Who would have thought a woman like Zhang Kejiu? Exhausted by Iraq? ,? White Goose writes about Leng Yun in the sky, and Qingluan looks fine in the mirror. ? (water sprite). Guiyan, do you know how many wanderers toss and turn for you and can't sleep at night? How many homesick women look through the autumn water and cry for you, please don't. Yan Yan unintentionally went with the clouds on the west bank of Taihu Lake. ? (Jiang Kui's Little Crimson Lips).

Second, it refers to letters and news.

Wild geese have the habit of migrating every year, and they are accurate. The folk song circulating in rural areas of North China is: 79 rivers can't be opened, and 89 geese always come. So the ancients regarded it as audio? Messenger? Idioms include notes that geese go to fish, geese die and fish sink, and geese eat fish. Is there anything else in history? Hongyan delivers books? This story, according to Hanshu? Su Wu Biography records that in the Western Han Dynasty, Su Wu was ordered to send envoys to Xiongnu, but he was put into Beihai by the mainstream of Xiongnu monarchs to shepherd sheep. After Su Wu endured humiliation for more than ten years, the Han Dynasty made peace with Xiongnu. The Han Dynasty sent envoys to the Huns to demand the release of Su Wu, but Khan still refused to release him, falsely claiming that Su Wu was dead. At this time, Su Wu's entourage, who went to Xiongnu with him, told the real situation to the ambassador of Korea, who told him that when Emperor Wu of Han was hunting, he killed a wild goose flying from the north with a letter tied to his foot, saying that Su Wu was still herding sheep in Beihai. Hearing this, Khan had to let Su Wu go. Later, people called the messenger? Hongyan? . Such as Du Fu's poem "To Li Bai at the End of the Sky": A cold wind is blowing in the distant sky. What are you thinking, old friend? . The geese never answered me, and the rivers, lakes and seas were flooded by rain. ? Another example is his poem "Send a high school student to an activity": There are many geese in the sky and many carp in the pond. After reading half a hundred books, don't send out a line of books? ? Another example is Wang Wan's "The next berth on the North Fort Mountain": Where the local accent is, the geese return to Luoyang.

In these poems, autumn geese are all synonymous with letters without exception, with the poet's sincere thoughts and beautiful expectations.

Third, compared with yourself, show loneliness.

The geese are orderly and spectacular, but the geese lost in the flock will be lonely and sad. Therefore, when the poet suffers hardships, his ambition is hard to pay, his career is bumpy, and his talent is not satisfied, he will naturally think of the lonely goose. Sometimes it is to show your arrogance and unyielding, such as? The curved hook moon hangs on the sparse buttonwood; In the dead of night, the water from the water clock has been dripping. Who saw you alone? Fuzzy and lonely. ? (su Shi's Bu operator); ? Lonely in the wild, birds are singing in Beilin. What will you see when you are wandering, and you will be sad when you are worried. ? (Ruan Ji's Love Poetry). Sometimes it's to show your loneliness, like? People are clouds in the mountains, and no one cares about gathering and scattering. You are like a lonely cloud, and I am like a wild goose. ? (Zhou Zizhi's "Bu Operator"); ? Still laughing at me on the beach alone, ducklings wandering around. ? (Zhao Ding's "Langtaosha"). Sometimes to express their loneliness and confusion, such as? I want to ask where Gu Hong is going, but I don't know his life experience. ? (Li Shangyin's Sunset Tower); ? Loneliness depends on people with lofty ideals and benevolence, heading south to the building, and returning to the wild goose with a sound. ? (Cat, Water and Long Yin).

Fourth, render the atmosphere and write tragic and desolate scenes.

In the autumn and winter when the north wind is cold and the sun is dusty, when flocks of geese pass by with great majesty and wailing, they can also arouse the aesthetic feelings of the ancients, especially the frontier poets. Therefore, in order to express their feelings, poets sometimes deliberately use the image of geese to aggravate the rendering of the environment. Such as Gao Shi's "Biedongda"? Like a bird, she still flapped her wings and felt sorry for herself, leaving Beijing for more than ten years. ? Borrow? The north wind blows geese? Write the desolation and vastness of the desert beyond the Great Wall; For example, Li Qi's "An Ancient Warsong"? The sorrowful Hu Yanyan flew through the air, and HUS soldiers were all in tears. ? Borrow? Hu Yan complained? Wrote the heroic and tragic appearance of battlefield fighting; In Zhang Kejiu? The sound of geese is old, and the shadow of herons is cold. ? ("Zhong Lu?" ), Don? On Lake Hu Dan, ships were sent, while White Goose Crow and Reed Ye Qiu still existed. ? ("leave"), borrow it alone? Goose sound? 、? Goose crow? Write a cold and desolate environment, effectively rendering the atmosphere of parting.

Fifth, Zhuang writes high mountains and rivers.

Hongyan often appears in literati's works as an image of sad autumn, but it is different from the beauty of autumn insects such as crickets and cicadas. Listening to the shallow songs of autumn insects, you will inevitably feel lonely. Looking at the deployment of Hongyan in the south, you are sometimes open-minded. ? Depression in autumn, red cockroaches in autumn; The autumn wind blows the ground and nothing can be heard. But when he saw Hong Bin, he rushed into the autumn sky and set himself free. ? It is a vivid grasp of the aesthetic characteristics of Hongyan. Hongyan is good at migrating and flying, unlike eagle harrier or crane heron, which gives people a strong sense of beauty. On a windy and rainy spring day or a frosty and cold autumn night, when the geese fly in formation and fly across the sky with great enthusiasm, it will naturally become a beautiful scenery dotted with the vast starry sky, making people feel comfortable and open-minded. Autumn geese are escorted by Changfeng, and I treat them in this villa and drink my wine. ? (Li Bai's "Farewell Minister of Xie Tiao Villa in Xuanzhou"); ? There is a thousand miles of bright moon in Dongting, and the wind and geese cry water. ? (Li He's Song of Di Zi); ? In addition, the water waves are surging and the storm is rippling, as if many flowers are flying, dark and bright, very beautiful; After sunset, the sky is blue, and geese fly in the air, as if writing a line on the blue sky. ? (Bai Juyi's "Sighing at the Scenery at the Night in the Jianglou"); ? Autumn water is clear, but a touch of river. ? (Xie Yi's "Mulberry Picking"); ? At night, the temple is clearer and the geese rush to smoke. ? (Suyi Xihechong Master Room, Zhu Qingyu).

In a word, the image of geese, with its rich, profound and unique personality, has influenced the feelings of literati, formed a unique goose culture in China, and exuded lasting artistic charm. ("Qingjiang cited? Autumn bosom ")? Red leaves are all over the sky, yellow flowers are piled up, and the sound of rain is falling, which will naturally hurt the feelings of geese. Also homesick, who can be as emotional as Zhang Kejiu? ?
