浅析宋诗中的橘意象

An Analysis of the Imago of the Tangerine Created in the Poetry of Song Dynasty

自屈原在《橘颂》中吟咏橘以后,经过历代文人的书写,橘从普通的自然物象逐渐发展为寄托了文人情思的意象载体。宋代时期,橘意象继承了前代“橘为忠贞化身”和“橘为嘉果”的内涵,并得到了发展。橘成为游子乡思的寄托,文人还借橘来抒发对隐逸生活的向往之情。橘也用来表达敬养孝亲的心愿。一部分诗僧在诗中描写橘,表达了清净超远的人生志趣。

Since Qu Yuan’s Ode to the Tangerine,tangerine has evolved from an ordinary natural object into an imagery carrier of the feelings of countless literati in the past dynasties.The imago of the tangerine in the Song Dynasty inherited from previous generations the connotation of"The tangerine is the embodiment of loyalty"and"The tangerine is a fruit of honor"and has got great development from it.Later on,the tangerine became the thing for wanderers to use to give expression to their homesickness and literati to convey their yearning for reclusive life in their writings.Besides,the tangerine could also be applied to show respect and filial piety.Therefore,many monk poets also eulogized the tangerine to express their unworldly life interests.
