Deep and Clear Yangtze River and Maple Trees on Its Rivershores:on the Image of Maple Trees in Ancient Chinese Poetry
The literary writing process of maple image was long and rich,and its basic emotional im-plication and expression methods gradually developed from the late Warring States period to the Tang Dynasty,and further expanded after the Song Dynasty.The image of maple has strong emotional sus-tenance and distinct aesthetic characteristics,which often expresses the sad emotion closely related to the theme of returning home,and reveals the survival essence of life which is always wandering and seeking.Maple leaf has the characteristic of turning red after frost,which is often placed in the back-ground of autumn in literature,or juxtated with other plain things,showing aesthetic characteristics of"using a plain background color to bring out the beauty".The writing of maple image mainly adopts the way of feeling things first and expressing emotions then rather than using things to express their feelings euphemistically,clearly shows the characteristics of non-moralization and non-personaliza-tion,and embodies the aesthetic quality of the thought of the unity of heaven and man.Maple image has a generalized pointing function,including a variety of"maple trees",and is often used as a short term for Chinese sweet gum,and can also refer to all autumn red leaf trees and even deciduous trees.
