Why is the "purple" soul in Ai Qing's poems praising Dayan River?

Purple is the color of pain and depression, and purple is also a noble color.

The purple in Ai Qing's poems emphasizes bitterness, melancholy and depression. Experience the whole poem. Every word emphasizes the pain of Dayanhe's life. The purple soul is the soul of pain and sadness. A person's soul is "respectable and great" because it has suffered too much, too much bullying and too much torture, because it has suffered too much.

This is a common technique in the Book of Songs, which uses one word to create contradictions and make the artistic conception of the poem deeper.
