Symbolic meaning of the moon 1 symbolic meaning of the moon

In China culture, the moon was not an ordinary star from the beginning, but floated with the mythical world, bearing profound primitive cultural information and condensing the profound life feelings and aesthetic feelings of our ancient nation.

1. In China culture, the most basic symbolic meaning of the moon is mother and female.

"One yin and one yang is the Tao". The concept of Yin and Yang is the starting point of China's ancient philosophy and our ancestors' initial understanding and explanation of the world. The Book of Rites says: "Daming was born in the east, and the bright moon was born in the west. This distinction between yin and yang is also the position of husband and wife. " Daming is the sun, representing men, implying masculinity and infinite strength; The moon represents women, tenderness, femininity, warmth, elegance and lingering. Therefore, all three-year-old children know that it is never wrong to call the sun "Grandpa Sun" and the moon "Mother Moon".

What is the most famous fairy tale about the moon? The Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon. Legend has it that Houyi, a marksman, got an elixir of life and one day told his wife Chang 'e not to move when she went out. Chang 'e was full of curiosity, so she ate it secretly while Hou Yi was away. As a result, she soared and lived in the Guanghan Palace. Although Chang 'e is immortal, she is always lonely and miserable. Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem: "Chang 'e should regret stealing Dan medicine and stay awake at night. "I'm so lonely, even the pig eight quit when marshal canopy was drunk, can't help flirting with her. Chang 'e is actually Nu Wa.

There are many myths about the moon. For example, Zhang, a man riding a donkey backwards, was sandwiched between laurel trees. WU GANG Xuexian was punished for chopping osmanthus trees every day, but every time he chopped an axe, as long as the axe was pulled out, the missing piece of the gap was closed, and so it was cut and closed forever. The story of WU GANG's attack on Guangxi is strikingly similar to the story of Sisyphus pushing a stone up a mountain in western mythology.

In ancient China mythology, it was said that there was a "three-legged blackbird" under the sun, that is, a blackbird with three horns. Some people proudly claim that there are sunspots in the sun in China, thousands of years earlier than western scientists. Think about it, class. Are there any animals on the legendary moon? There are toads and jade rabbits on the moon.

The moon is a symbol of chastity, cleanliness, love and beauty.

"There is no dust in the river, and there is a solitary moon wheel in the sky." Moonlight is like water In the concept of China ancients, the moon is the crystallization of water, and water is the soul of the moon, the symbol of chastity and the embodiment of beauty. Therefore, Jia Baoyu, the affectionate son in A Dream of Red Mansions, said, "Women are made of water, while men are made of mud. I feel refreshed when I see my daughter, and I feel dirty when I see a man. " In the deep structure of China's aesthetics, the moon always reveals the mysterious and eternal female smile. Therefore, in classical poetry, beauty is like the moon, and beauty under the moon is often regarded as the basic lyric image. "When the bright moon is bright, when the people will be sad. Shu Yao corrected it and felt sad. " Wei Zhuang: "The fireside is like a moon, and the wrist is frozen with frost and snow." Su Shi: "The crescent moon is like a beauty. She looked different when she went out to sea. Juanjuan went to the lake to shake the blue sky. " The crescent moon, like an eyebrow, reminds people of the beauty standing on the jade steps under the moon, which constitutes a quiet and graceful beauty; The hazy moon is filled with unspeakable sadness, which constitutes a hazy and sad beauty; Flowers leave the moon, lingering fragrance, symbolizing elegant and gorgeous beauty. Endless symbols create an endless aesthetic world of the moon, and countless hearts create countless aesthetic images of the moon.

The ancient goddess of love and matchmaker in China were called the old man under the moon. When lovers meet, they often choose the bright moon, as evidenced by a poem: "Last year's Lantern Festival, the flower market was full of lights. The willow shoots are on the moon, and people are about after dusk. " (Zhu Yuanye) "When the moon is on the west wing, the wind will be half open. The moon is moving, and it is suspected to be a jade person. " (The West Chamber) Even Jin Yong, the great hero in Jin Yong's works, made an exception and wrote a novel "Moon Cloud" dedicated to his first love. Yue Yun, what a beautiful name, what a poetic name!

The moon is a symbol of eternity.

"Who saw the moon first by the river, Jiang Yuezao took photos of people. Life is endless from generation to generation, and Jiangyue is similar year after year. " (Zhang's "Moonlit Night on the Spring River") The moon is sometimes dark and sometimes bright, sometimes round and sometimes absent, and it is endless, revealing people's eternal thinking about the universe and the shortness of life. "The moon was bright in Qin, closed in Han, and the Long March did not return." (Wang Changling's "Out of the Plug") "The sunset glow has rolled out of the East, and it will never be easy to eliminate a piece of ice." (Zhang Wei, "On the Moon") "I think of the bottom of the river alone, and the moonlight is like water. Where are the people who came to see the moon together? The scenery is vaguely like last year. "

Fairy tales of the moon

The Goddess Chang's fly to the moon

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a man named Hou Yi who married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang 'e. Besides hunting, Hou Yi spent all his time with his wife. People admired this beautiful and loving couple. One day, Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek truth. He happened to meet the Queen Mother passing by and asked her for a bag of elixir. It is said that taking this medicine can instantly ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to temporarily give the elixir to Chang 'e. Chang 'e hid the medicine in the treasure chest of the dresser, but Pang Meng saw it. Three days later, Hou Yi led his entourage out hunting, while Pang Meng, who had ulterior motives, pretended to be ill and stayed. Shortly after Hou Yi led the crowd to leave, Pang Meng broke into the backyard of the Inner Temple with a sword in his hand, threatening Chang 'e to hand over the elixir. Chang 'e knew that she was no match for Pang Meng. In times of crisis, she made a decisive decision, turned around and opened the treasure chest, took out the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. Chang 'e swallowed the medicine and immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window and flew into the sky. Because Chang 'e was worried about her husband, she flew to the nearest moon and became a fairy. In the evening, when Hou Yi came home, the maids cried and told what happened during the day. Hou Yi was surprised and angry, and drew his sword to kill the villain. Pang Meng has already escaped. The grief-stricken Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and called the name of his beloved wife. At this time, he was surprised to find that today's moon is particularly bright and bright, and there is a swaying figure resembling Chang 'e. Hou Yi hurriedly sent someone to Chang 'e's favorite back garden, put on a table sweetmeats, and put on her favorite candied fruit to pay tribute to Chang 'e at the Moon Palace. After hearing the news that the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon became an immortal, people set up an incense table under the moon and prayed for good luck and peace to the kind Chang 'e. Since then, the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival in Yue Bai has spread among the people.

WU GANG won.

According to legend, osmanthus trees in front of Guanghan Palace on the moon are flourishing, reaching more than 500 feet. There is a man who often cuts, but after each cut, the cut place closes immediately. For thousands of years, this laurel tree can never be cut down. It is said that this tree cutter named WU GANG was a native of Xihe in Han Dynasty. He once went to heaven with the immortal, but when he made a mistake, the immortal demoted him to the Moon Palace to do such futile work as punishment. In Li Bai's poems, there is a record that "if you want to be in the middle of the month, you will pay for the cold."

The origin of the moon cake

It is said that eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the broad masses of the people in the Central Plains could not bear the cruel rule of the ruling class in the Yuan Dynasty and rose up against the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang joined forces with various resistance forces to prepare for the uprising. However, the officers and men of the imperial court searched very closely, and it was very difficult to pass on the news. Liu Bowen, a military strategist, came up with a plan and ordered his men to hide a note with the words "Uprising on the 15th of August" in the cake, and then sent people to the uprising troops in different places to inform them to respond to the uprising on the 15th of August. On the day of the uprising, all the rebels responded together, such as a single spark can start a prairie fire. The uprising succeeded. Later, Xu Da captured the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. When the news came, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy. He quickly sent a message to let all the soldiers have fun with the people in the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and gave the "moon cakes" secretly sent at the time of the war as seasonal cakes to the ministers. Since then, the production of "moon cakes" has become more and more elaborate, and there are more and more varieties, such as dishes, which have become good gifts. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the custom of eating moon cakes spread among the people.
