About: Simians (Chinese poetry)

An Entity of Type: protein, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Simians of various sorts (including the monkey, gibbon, and other primates of real or mythological nature) are an important motif in Chinese poetry. Examples of simian imagery have an important place in Chinese poetry ranging from the Chu Ci poets through poets such as Li Bai, Wang Wei, Du Fu, and more. Various poetic concepts could be communicated by the inclusion of simian imagery in a poem, and the use of simian allusions can help provide key insights into the poems. The use of simians in Chinese poetry is part of a broader appearance of macaques and other monkeys in Chinese culture as well as the monkey-like gibbons and sometimes monkey-like creatures from Chinese mythology.

  • 猿猴（包括真實或神話中的猴、長臂猿或其他非人類靈長類動物）在中國文學中是一個重要的題材，有許多象徵意義。從楚辭到李白、杜甫和王維等人的唐詩中都可見其蹤影。《西遊記》主角孫悟空也是一隻猴子。人類也是靈長類動物，在詩詞中有時描寫人和環境的關係、或是把人比喻作猴子（通常帶有負面意味）。 (zh)
