論《詩經》中的黃鳥意象

《詩經》中的黃鳥的形象與其習性表現大有關聯，詩中黃鳥不外乎是在飛翔、鳴叫跟棲食，尤其後二兩者居多。故於討論黃鳥意象前，會先整體考察詩篇對於黃鳥鳴聲、棲食的看法，並藉由生物學的知識成果辨析，以得定論。結合黃鳥形象，再藉隱喻認知觀，探討《詩經》中的黃鳥意象。經分析，黃鳥具有來去自如、鳴聲清脆的形象，在《詩經》中多半與優遊自在、舒暢、雀躍的心情相應。黃鳥渺小的身軀、棲食地與人親近等特性，使其在詩篇當中做為渺小的存在，及擔任對話的對象－知音。除此之外，黃鳥可自由地飛往平地與樹上，故黃鳥代表處於適宜自身環境的自在自適者。希冀藉由本文之研究對當前主要由民俗學路徑研究的成果，提出額外的看法，以提供學術價值。

The image of the yellow bird in the Book of Songs is closely related to its habitual behaviors. The yellow bird in the Book of Songs typically flies, sings and perches, especially the latter two. Therefore, before discussing the image of the yellow bird, I will first examine the Book of Songs' views on the singing and feeding of the yellow bird as a whole, and analyze the results of biological knowledge to reach a conclusion. Combined with the image of the yellow bird, and through the metaphorical cognition concept, this paper discusses the image of the yellow bird in the Book of Songs. In this analysis, the yellow bird has the image of coming and going freely and chirping clearly and melodiously, which is mostly correspond to the mood of leisure, comfort and excitement in the Book of Songs. The yellow bird's small body, habitat and closeness to people make it a small existence in the poems and the object of dialogue, the soulmate. In addition, the yellow bird can fly freely to the ground and the trees, so the yellow bird represents a person in the environment belonging to himself/ herself. I hope that by the research of this paper, the results can offer a different view, which is mainly obtained through the folklore. Furthermore, it will be put forward to provide academic value.
