1, the wild goose symbolizes faithful love.
2. "Returning to the wild goose" refers to people who are far away from home, miss home and go home. Du Fu came to Wan Li in the spring, and how many years will he return? The heartbroken Jiangcheng geese fly north.
3. Goose symbolizes kindness. It's because there are always people who are old, weak, sick and disabled and can't make a living on their own. The rest of the mature geese will never abandon them and raise them to die. This is the heart of the benevolent. In ancient times, it was a custom to give geese as gifts. The marriage etiquette initiated by the Zhou Dynasty is called the foundation of etiquette.
Appreciation of ancient poems chanting geese
In addition to expressing wandering and homesickness, geese are usually used to express brothers and sisters, because when geese fly in the sky, they usually make a "one" or arrange a "person" in a certain order. Therefore, there is usually a saying of flying geese and goose order, just like the order of brothers and sisters, so the image of "goose" in ancient poetry also means brothers and sisters.
For example, Qian Qi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote that "Li Siquan is the governor of Wei and Li Qimian is the governor of Kaifeng (only Bo and Zhong have a reputation)": American politics is only a brother, and men are handsome. The imperial branch is double Yushu, and the official road is two Meixian. Take care of the customs of Yao and Tang dynasties, and only preach etiquette. When orchids gather together, geese will travel together on the same day. Huang Shou has been in Russia for three years, but Qingyun has not moved for nine years. Temple is the master, try Longquan in a few days.
The name of this poem is a bit long and awkward. It's about two brothers, one is old four and the other is old seven. Both of them are county chiefs, one is Wei Taiwei and the other is Kaifeng Taiwei. "When orchids gather together, geese will travel together." Goose here means brother.
