宋词中的“莺花”即“樱花”辨

The Differentiate of “Ying Hua” and “Sakura” in Song-Ci

"莺花"历来被认为是"莺"与"花"的合称,但正如"樱桃"亦称"莺桃",在有着丰富的意象的宋词中,"莺花"亦是"樱花"。用"莺花"二字更突出了它与春、与时光的紧密联系。并且将"莺花"入词的词人多为南宋词人,这样,"莺花"就含有了浓浓的寓托的意思。作为春天最美好的象征,它的飘落承载了一种春去人间的深沉的家国失去之感。历史赋予了词人们深深的情怀,而词人们的笔端流淌的正是历史的印记。

＂Ying Hua＂ has always been considered as the combination of ＂Orioles＂ and ＂flowers＂, but as the ＂Cherry＂ also called ＂Ying Tao＂ , and in Song-Ci which has rich images, ＂Ying Hua＂ mostly should be taken as the ＂Sakura＇, a kind of flower. ＂Ying Hua＂ shows the close connection with spring and time, and it can also distinguish from ＂cherry＂. And ＂Ying Hua＂ was taken in the Ci poetry mostly by the poets of the Southern Song Dynasty, so ＂Ying Hua＂ contains deep meaning of metaphor. As the most beautiful symbol of spring, the fade of ＂Ying Hua＂ carries sorrowful feelings of spring gone, country broken and family lost. History brings deep feelings to poets, while poets write poetry reveal the mark of history.
