Common Images in China's Classical Poetry

China has a long tradition of agricultural culture, and the common images in classical poetry are closely related to agricultural production and rural life.

These common images can be divided into three groups:

The first category is natural phenomena of heaven and earth, such as bright moon, spring breeze and winter snow.

The second category is plants, such as willow, pine, bamboo and plum.

The third category is utensils or products related to agriculture and rural areas, such as chaifei and fermented wine.
