摘　　要：我国古代最早的诗歌总集《诗经》中有大量的植物意象,这些植物意象透露出早期先民的民俗民情和对植物的崇拜心理。植物意象作为比兴载体,有的充满旺盛的生命力,是吉祥、美好、幸福的象征,得到赞美,有的具有美好的味道,可以食用,有的具有药用价值,被用来预防疾病,防止感染。其中"萧"作为蒿类植物,在《诗经》中出现次数最多,因为"萧"具有馨香的味道,能够预防疾病,同时先民认为它能通灵,所以在古代"萧"用来祭祀,后来"萧"逐渐演化,又有了比喻贤臣明主和思念这两种文化内涵。The Book of Songs,as the earliest anthology of poetry in ancient China,offers a large number of plant images which reveal folk customs and worship of plants of the early ancestors.As an imagery of Bixing,some of plant images are full of vitality and praised to be symbolic of auspiciousness,beauty and happiness.Some are edible with delicious taste.Others are of medicinal value to be applied to the prevention against diseases and infection.Among them,mugwort is an artemisia plant which appears most frequently in the Book of Songs.Since mugwort enjoys fragrance,prevents diseases,and is thought to be psychic by ancestors,it was used in the ancient fete.Later,mugwort gradually evolved with two such cultural connotations as sagacious officials as well as emperors,and the sense of missing.
