The Connotation of Spring Image in Ancient Poetry

The connotation of spring image in ancient poetry, also known as spring, is the first season of the year, and the time range refers to the period from beginning of spring to the long summer. Spring is a season that many people like, and it has many meanings. Let's share the connotation of spring images in ancient poems.

The connotation of spring image in ancient poetry 1 Spring is a common image in classical poetry, which is used to express the theme of farewell and lovesickness. This paper makes a prototype analysis of this image with Jung's prototype criticism, and analyzes its earliest appearance in ancient literature, the creator's psychology at that time, its application in later works, and its changes in name and symbolic meaning.

There are abundant original images in China's ancient literature, and the artistic features of classical poetry are also based on images. As an ancient aesthetic concept, image is the most basic way for poets to express their feelings. China culture has a long history, and the images in classical poetry have accumulated rich cultural connotations and unique aesthetic taste. Poets often use images to express similar or interlinked feelings. Only with a clear and profound understanding of images can we have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding and grasp of the art of poetry and have a profound aesthetic feeling. In the art gallery of China classical literature, classic images about time and space emerge one after another, and the content of prototype meaning has been greatly expanded, which has become a realistic and extensive constituent element in literary works, which makes the prototype concept more important in critical practice.

According to Jung's archetypal criticism, we know that each archetype is "a symbol" and "an image", and the archetypes in classical literature, as artistic symbols, are often associated with the rich historical experience and spiritual world of ancient nations. Prototype is effectively visualized in literary works, arousing the voice of readers. The original image, that is, the prototype, benefits from the carrier of literary works and appears repeatedly in the original form. Frye, another important figure in archetypal criticism, said: "(Archetype is) a symbol, usually an image, which appears repeatedly in literary works and can be regarded as an integral factor of people's literary experience." { 1}

In the creation of China's classical literature, especially poetry, "Spring" is such a prototype, which is often used in works expressing the theme of parting and lovesickness, and becomes an image expressing parting and hating. Cahill once said: "The kingdom of art is a kingdom of pure forms", and "these forms are not abstract, but appeal to feelings" {2}, so the image of spring also constitutes the pure form of poetry, which embodies the rich historical content and cultural significance of our nation.

The image of spring first appeared in "The Songs of Chu Recruit Hermits": "Wang Sun swims without returning, full of spring. I don't talk to myself at the end of the year, I sing. " This work first appeared in Wang Yi's Songs of Chu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later many scholars thought it was written by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty. Because Liu An often went to Chang 'an to see Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, but the situation in the DPRK was extremely sinister. Huainan Mountain, as his guest, is worried that Liu An will be killed. I hope he will not stay in Chang 'an for a long time and return as soon as possible. The guests are looking forward to Liu An's departure and return. In the bright spring, he didn't come back, only to see the lush spring. The feeling of missing is urgent. From Chunsheng to Autumn Singing, time goes by and feelings grow stronger. As Wang Guowei said in "Words on Earth": "Everything is the color of my view of things." Poets melt their feelings into things, and endless spring embodies infinite thoughts. Spring is not only the messenger of spring, but also the carrier of the poet's departure. And the bright spring can always arouse the thoughts of remembering old friends and looking forward to reunion, which can best express the endless feelings of parting.

In fact, the image of spring reflects the vast and far-reaching consciousness of time and space in ancient China. The universe is boundless and unchanging, and the image of spring, like the willow color of Baling that has been hurt for another year, repeatedly impacts the hearts of literati. In ancient times, when transportation and communication were very backward, it was the psychological activity of many people, and spring became the embryonic form. This "typical recurring image" has been repeatedly used by poets for a long time and has distinct symbolic significance. Once the prototype appears in literary works, it will make readers feel strongly infected like reliving the personal experience of distant ancestors. Jung believes that archetype is the basic image of race passed down from generation to generation. Writers unconsciously embody some prototypes in their works under the collective unconscious control; In the process of reading works, readers are touched by these prototypes and the collective unconsciousness accumulated in their hearts. At this time, they will suddenly feel comfortable and get inner shock, as if the voices of all mankind are ringing in their hearts.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar. At the turn of mid-spring and late spring, that is, 108 days from winter to the future, solar terms are set according to the year when the sun returns. The traditional Tomb-Sweeping Day of the Han nationality in China began in the Zhou Dynasty and has a history of more than 2,500 years. "Almanac": "On the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, the bucket refers to Ding, which is used for Qingming, when everything is clean and bright, and when it is covered, everything is clean and bright, hence the name." As soon as Qingming comes, the temperature rises, which is a good time for spring ploughing and sowing, so there is a saying that "before and after Qingming, we plant melons and beans". Tomb-Sweeping Day is a festival to worship ancestors, and the traditional activity is to sweep graves. On May 20th, 2006, it was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
