《诗经》中“雉”意象及其文化意涵论析

On the Image of Pheasant and its Culture in the Book of Songs

《诗经》的禽鸟意象中,以“雉”最为特别,最能反映先秦时期人们的生活,它与先秦的文化有着密切的关系。根据对“雉”的概念的理解,在《诗经》中“雉”的意象主要有四种含义:爱情中的思妇形象;王族中的地位象征;祭祀中的舞蹈器具;生活中的善良品格。这与“雉”本身的特点、先民自然崇拜思想的延续以及西周独特的天命观有着密不可分的联系。

Among the bird images in the Book of Songs,"pheasant"is the most special one,which best reflects people's life in the Pre-Qin Period and has a close relationship with the cultural connotation then.According to the understanding of the concept and extension of"pheasant",in the Book of Songs,the image of pheasant has four meanings:the image of thinking woman in love,status symbols in the royal family,dancing instruments in sacrifice,goodness in life.This is closely related to the characteristics of"pheasant"itself:the continuation of the ancestors'worship of nature and the unique view of destiny in Western Zhou Dynasty.
