What cultural implications can be found from the river image and the Han River poems of the Tang literati?

Rivers have promoted the development of human civilization and become one of the important forms for literati to embody their thoughts. The Hanjiang River has a unique geographical advantage, which is the traffic artery from Chang 'an in the north to Huxiang in the south in the Tang Dynasty. In the face of Hanshui River, the literati in the Tang Dynasty felt lonely, sad and angry, or reluctant to part with it, or lamented the profound historical and cultural heritage of Hanshui River Basin, or showed the beautiful natural scenery and unique customs of Hanshui River Basin. The image of Hanshui River was carried forward in the poems of literati in the Tang Dynasty.

Literati's poems in Han Dynasty are not only the inheritance and development of regional writing since The Book of Songs, but also the continuation of the writing spirit of The Songs of the South, and even more the continuation of the pastoral writing of Bao Weng. Hanshui Poems of Tang Dynasty enriched the content of regional literature research and enhanced the influence of Hanshui in the history of China literature.

"Image" means the image of meaning, which is an artistic technique commonly used by ancient China literati in their literary creation. Image is "a self-sufficient image structure composed of one or more images processed by the author's emotion and consciousness, and it is an integral part of poetry text".

Images exist in literary texts, but in novels, essays and other narrative styles, images are used to express the author's views and feelings, while images in poems are used to create and render the atmosphere, thus expressing the poet's feelings. Image is the artistic image of the poet's subjective feelings and objective things, and it is also the carrier of the poet's feelings. Excellent poets often have images corresponding to their spiritual temperament, such as Li Bai's wine to the moon and Du Fu's goose to the horse.

At the same time, images will have relatively stable emotional connotations in the process of inheritance, such as falling flowers to the passage of youth and plum to chrysanthemum to noble character. Therefore, image research is an important way to deeply understand the author, and it is also an effective way to study Tang poetry through the image of Hanjiang River. Poems with Hanshui River as the main image in the Tang Dynasty, involving garrison, exile, travel, parting and other themes, or expressing historical feelings, or depicting the beautiful scenery of the motherland, show the literati's deep feelings for Hanshui River and its basin.

In addition, the Hanshui River Basin is located in the north-south and east-west traffic arteries, and its political, military and cultural status is remarkable. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and many famous wars are related to the Han River. Although the Tang Dynasty was a unified empire, the war in the Hanshui River Basin did not stop. Therefore, when writing war poems, scholars in the Tang Dynasty often take Hanshui as the main image. Most of these war poems show the general public's aversion to war, their desire to return to the countryside or their dedication to fighting and defending the country on the battlefield.

Hanshui poems in Tang Dynasty are rich in content and profound in connotation, which makes Hanshui images have certain value in Tang poems. "The Tang Dynasty is the peak of poetry from quantity to quality. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the open policy of national affinity, ideological harmony and cultural tolerance was adopted, the rulers loved and advocated literature, and for a long time, the system of selecting scholars by poetry and fu was implemented, which made poets in the north, south and north of the Yangtze River emerge in large numbers and poems surged. In such a unified atmosphere of the times, the regional differences of poetry are gradually narrowing. "

Although the differences between regions have narrowed, they still have obvious regional characteristics. These obvious regional features reflect the life of poets in the Tang Dynasty, and are also the reasons for the colorful Tang poems. Therefore, Hanshui, as a unique regional image in image group in Tang Dynasty, also shows its value in the development of literature.

The Hanjiang River is the main road connecting the north and the south, which linked Chang 'an with the southern barbarian land in the Tang Dynasty. Many literati had a strong desire to create when they passed through the Han River, which made the poems of the literati in the Tang Dynasty present a prosperous situation. Han poetry in Tang Dynasty not only reflects the complex emotional world of literati, but also reproduces the rich historical and cultural background of Hanshui River Basin, showing the rich customs and beautiful scenery of Hanshui River Basin.

At the same time, these poems also show the special value and significance of regional literature and regional culture in regional writing, loyal and resentful writing and pastoral writing. The poems about Hanshui created by the literati in the Tang Dynasty fully show the position of Hanshui in China's literature and cultural history. Therefore, it is of great significance for the development and inheritance of ancient literature and regional literature to use the relevant theoretical knowledge of cultural geography to better explore the hidden cultural implications in Hanshui poems of Tang literati.
