In ancient poetry, Hongyan generally refers to the messenger who delivers letters between lovers. This morality first appeared in the Book of Songs, and later generations adopted it.
Although in the Tang Dynasty, when poetry was at its peak, poets still compared most of the images in The Book of Songs. On the moonlit night by the river, "Hongyan flies in the sky and ichthyosaurs dive to write" means this.
Other meaning of Hongyan is a self-metaphor, that is, using things to describe people, implying the image of Hongyan's loneliness. This is the meaning of a sentence in the secular word "Bu Operator", "Anyone who sees a lonely person is lonely and lonely".

In China's ancient poems, Hongyan, as an aesthetic object, has rich aesthetic implications. Hongyan is a bird that follows the sun. Although there is an image of "autumn" under the rendering of seasons and environment, it is still different from the beauty of autumn insects such as crickets and cicadas. The peristalsis of autumn insects is a fear and lament for the cold; The southward flight of Hongyan is a struggle against the cold and a pursuit and yearning for light and warmth.
Listening to the shallow songs of autumn insects will inevitably lead to loneliness; Seeing Hongyan deployed to the south is refreshing and uplifting. Therefore, the aesthetic tone of autumn insects is sad and low, while the aesthetic tone of Hongyan is mainly broad and lofty.
