Yan is a migratory bird, which migrates with the change of seasons and likes to enter and leave people's houses or eaves in pairs. Therefore, it is favored by the ancients and often appears in ancient poetry, or cherishes spring and hurts autumn, or exaggerates sadness, or reposes lovesickness, or is sentimental about current events, with rich images and expressive expressions, which are far behind other things.
1, expressing beautiful spring and conveying the feeling of cherishing spring.
According to legend, swallows come to the north in spring and return to the south in autumn, so many poets beautify and praise it as a symbol of spring. For example, "Deep in the haze of flowers, make a fresh breast" (Wei's Meeting Friends in the Jingshi), "Swallows come, news agency, pear flower falls is behind" (Yan Shu's Broken Fighter), "Yingying comes, the flowers are beautiful in Liu Zhen, and everything is beautiful" (George's "Tianjingsha is a thing"). Floating quickly blows the flower tip, and the green tail is separated from the red shadow. " Very well studied, the shape is very similar to that of God. The spring is bright, the swallows are petite and lovely, and the literati are affectionate. When spring passes, the poet will feel infinite sadness. Therefore, Ouyang Xiu has the idea of "going to tourists, only feeling empty in spring". When hanging the curtain, the two swallows return in the drizzle (picking mulberry seeds), and Qiao Ji has the sorrow of "the swallow hides the spring title, the warbler is ashamed to find a companion, the bee is cold and does not report to the official (picking honey), and the crow is hungry" (narcissus).
2. Express the beauty of love and miss your lover.
Swallows are always hermaphrodite and fly together, thus becoming a symbol of love. "Thinking of flying in pairs, carrying mud to your nest" (Book of Songs), "Swallows are newly married, feeling like brothers" (Book of Songs), "Swallows fly, miss feathers, and sons return to the wild" (Book of Songs) only carry the loneliness of empty boudoir, "cobwebs hang in the dark, empty beams fall in the mud" (Xue Daoheng's Salt Yesterday), "Falling flowers are independent and swift fly together" All these, to name a few.
3, the performance of current events, to express the past ups and downs, personnel metabolism, national extinction feelings and indignation.
Swallows leave in autumn and come in spring, never forgetting their old nests. The poet seized this feature and gave vent to his indignation. The most famous is Liu Yuxi's "Wuyi Xiang": "The Suzaku Bridge is overgrown with weeds, and the sun sets in Wuyi Xiangkou. In the old society, Xie Wang Tang flew into the homes of ordinary people. " It is a bitter irony to write in an implicit way that the swallow remains the same, but the owner has changed hands, which shows the inevitable fate of wealth in the past. In addition, there are Yan Shu's helpless flowers, deja vu, and the small garden is wandering alone (Huanxisha), Li's "Yan returns to embroider curtains, and the nest is nowhere to be found" (Visiting the former residence of Jinmen Huai), and Jiang Kui's "Swallows go to the west bank of Taihu Lake unintentionally". Several peaks are bitter, and the rain in Shang Lue is hazy "(Dianjiang Lip), Zhang Yan's" Swallows know where in those days, the moss is deep and the grass is dark "(high balcony), and Wen Tianxiang's" The scenery of mountains and rivers is the same, and the people in the city go to half. Reed flowers everywhere accompany me to grow old. Who will fly next to the old swallow? " (Jinling post) Swallow inadvertently witnessed the changes of current events, endured the pain of national destruction and death, and showed the sadness of the poet's "separation". The load can be described as heavy.
4. Pass books on behalf of others and tell the pain of leaving love.
In the Tang Dynasty, Guo Shaolan's Yanzu poems spread to her husband Renzong. Injong left home for Jiahu and never returned for several years. Shao Lan's poems were written by Yan Zu. Living in Jingzhou at that time, Yan suddenly leaned on his shoulder and saw a book tied to his foot, which explained that it was sent by his wife and returned with tears. His poem "seeing my husband off" said: "My husband went to the heavy lake, and I cried at the window. I am diligent and given to my thin lover by Yan Yi. " Who said that "Yan Ziliang is too heartless" (Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions), it is precisely because Yan Zi has feelings that her husband changed his mind and the husband and wife met. Guo Shaolan is lucky. Some unfortunate women borrow Yan to pass on books, but they are lost in the vast sea of people. Such as "A sad swallow leaves a red line, causing a lonely shadow" (Zhang Kejiu's "Sai Qiu Hong Chun Qing"), "When Shuang Yan comes, do you meet a stranger" (Feng Yansi's "Near Flowers"), its bitterness.
5, express the feelings of wandering, writing the suffering of wandering.
"Sacredness, intuition and analogy are the dominant ways of thinking of the Han nationality" (Zhang Dainian's "China's Thinking Deviation"), flowers, birds, insects and fish are all written by literati, and birds and animals are all poets. Goose mourns autumn, ape sings, cicada sends high. The uncertainty of the swallow's habitat has left a rich imagination space for the poet, or wandering, "like a new swallow every year, roaming the vast sea and sending the rafters to repair" (Zhou Bangyan's Man Fang Ting); Or the ups and downs of life experience, "Looking at Chang 'an from a distance, the future is full of spots, and it is difficult to travel north and south" (Zhang Kejiu's "Palace Front"); Or leave each other when they meet, "like a social couple, they will send each other when they meet unsteadily" (Su Shi's "Send Chen Yu Tan Zhou"); Or from time to time, "magnets fly, mica comes to water, earth dragons bring rain, and geese fly instead" (Liu An Huainanzi).
