The significance of water image in literature

Literary significance of traditional Chinese medicine to water;

Life originates from water, which is not only an important resource of human life, but also the birthplace of human civilization. Throughout the development of human history, most of human civilization originated from rivers and river basins. It can be said that water has run through thousands of years of human civilization and left a deep mark on the history of human development. There are four kinds of water in Buddhism, namely, hard ground, wet water, warm fire and moving wind. In China's ancient theory of five elements, water represents all liquids and things with flowing, moist and feminine properties. Worship originated from human childhood. Because water has both the ability to breed and destroy and the unpredictable temperament, people have a feeling of love and fear for aquatic products. People often pray that water is endowed with the spirit of God and brings peace, harvest and happiness to mankind.
