Banana
Often associated with loneliness and sadness, especially feelings of separation. In the south, there is a silk and bamboo music "rain hitting the plantain", which expresses the bleak sound. Li Qingzhao once wrote: "Who planted the banana tree in front of the window? Yin full of the courtyard, leaf heart heart scrolling with feelings." The sadness and sorrow are poured out, and the bananas are a source of resentment and sadness. Wu Wenying's "Tang Duoling": "Where do I synthesize sorrow? The heart of a departed person is in the fall. Even if the banana is not raining, the wind is still blowing." Ge Shengchong's "Point Jianglip": "How many idle sorrows, how many dreams chase the rain of bananas." The rain hitting the bananas is already sad enough, and the dream soul pursues the sound of rain on the banana leaves, which is even more saddening.

Japanese haiku poet and the greatest creator of the haiku form.

The travel essay "Oshu Koji" (1694) is a jewel of Japanese literature.
"Basho Poem"
Basho brushes the night breeze, how many quiet stars east. I am always attracted by the intensity of the color of the plantain, but I am always attracted by the ink of the green sky.
Li Qingzhao, in the words of "Cai Sang Zi", borrowed bananas to express her own feelings of sadness and silence: "Who planted the banana tree in front of the window? It is full of shade in the courtyard. Leaves and leaves are heartfelt, and there is a residual emotion in the scrolling." Here, the broad leaves of the sycamore and plantain not only carry the drizzle, but also carry the author's inexhaustible feelings of sadness.
