Expanded Information

The red bean is synonymous with "lovesickness":

Wang Wei's poem "Lovesickness" has had a wide influence on later generations of "lovesickness" poems.

Wang Wei's poem Love of Love had a wide influence on later poems on "love of love", which also shows people's recognition of the "red bean" as a symbol of love. For example, Zhao Chong mountain of the Song Dynasty wrote: "If I don't cut the branch of the red bean, I will be alone in my lovesickness." Zhao Yanduan: "The red bean is too hard to look at, and my eyes are full of tears of lovesickness." Cheng Gai: "Sighing at the half-makeup red beans, the lovesickness is divided." The Qing Dynasty's "Preface to Tang Poetry in the Snowy Mountain Room" claimed that Wang Wei's "Red Beans Born in the South" was "straight from the heart, with no engraving". Chen Yin Ke in "Liu Ru Shi biography" with a "red beans", explaining that the motivation for writing is "in the past years living in Kunming, occasionally purchased Changshu, Changshu Bai Mao Hong Qian's former garden in a red bean, because there is a note Qian Liu Yuan Yuan poetry".

The symbol of memory extracted from "Acacia" has a dual nature: it points to the object of memory - acacia - that the symbol brings to us, and at the same time it points to the memory itself - acacia itself is a kind of memory. Thus the content of memory and the form of memory become one. In fact, if the poem only points to the content of memory, it cannot be a ****same memory, because a specific content of memory, after thousands of years of time, no longer has any memory value for future generations.

If Wang Wei had described only a specific personal memory in his "Love Affair," the poem could not have become a classic. Only "lovesickness" as "memory" itself is collective; and only in this sense can the red bean serve as a universal symbol of memory.
