What's the metaphor behind the Lotus Golden Rooster in Song Huizong?
Song Huizong and Evonne are good at using natural objects to imply Confucian moral concepts. His painting "Lotus Golden Rooster" is typical. Look at the poem on the painting first: autumn is full of frost, and I am crowned with golden feathers; All five virtues are known, and comfort is better than death. Translated into vernacular, hibiscus blooms in late autumn, and golden pheasant with high crown is beautiful; It is known that it has five Confucian virtues (namely, courage and benevolence), which is more comfortable than wild ducks. The so-called five virtues, refers to the golden pheasant feathers are very beautiful, indicating the text; Have sharp claws, indicating martial arts; Seeing enemy birds dare to fight shows courage; When you see food, you won't eat it alone, but you will greet the same kind to share it and show benevolence; Announce the dawn on time, express the letter. Cuo refers to wild ducks, and comfort is better than Cuo, indicating that the Song Dynasty under Zhao's rule was prosperous and peaceful, which was better than the peaceful and prosperous times. This is to celebrate the era of peace and prosperity in Zhou Chengwang. Of course, winning is better than winning Zhou Chengwang. This is, of course, a self-deceiving lie, because when Evonne became emperor, the Song Dynasty was already at the end of the road, and all kinds of contradictions were very sharp. Peace and prosperity are just illusions.

The picture shows the golden pheasant resting leisurely on the hibiscus branch, looking up at the fluttering butterflies, and the atmosphere is peaceful. Through pictures, people can really forget the troubles in the world. Similar works include Yan Liu, Lamei Mountain poultry, Polygonum hydropiper and white goose, all of which reveal a peaceful atmosphere.
