崇尚自然的中国人,喜欢以物喻人,托物言志,寄情于物,凡欲有所表达,皆以写物为手段,文学家如此,艺术家也是如此。文学、艺术作品中各种自然物的象征意义,有的是单一的,大部分是复杂的。有时因地域不同、文化背景不同,人们对同一物象有不同的解读,如“南人喜鹊而恶乌,北人喜乌而恶鹊”等。有时因时代不同,物象的含义也不同,如果对特定的历史文化背景不了解,很容易产生误解,例如本文要探讨的鸳鸯。 Chinese people who advocate nature like to use the metaphor of human beings as their own, to express their feelings in the world, to express their feelings in the world, and to express themselves in whatever way they write. This is also true for writers and artists. Literary, artistic works of all kinds of natural symbolic meaning, some single, most are complex. Sometimes because of different regions and different cultural backgrounds, people have different interpretations of the same thing, such as “the southern magpie and the evil black horse, the northern people like the dark and evil magpie” and so on. Sometimes because of the different ages, the meanings of the images are also different. If you do not understand the specific historical and cultural background, it is very easy to have misunderstandings. For example, the mandarin duck that we will discuss in this article.
