The image of Hengtang

First of all, in poetry, Hengtang is often used as a farewell place. For example, the poem "Heng Tang" by Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, depicts the scene of friends leaving and expresses their deep affection for them. The scenery of Hengtang, as written in the poem, is closely related to water, such as "a stream of green water" and "Fengqiao Hanshan Temple Tower".

Secondly, Hengtang is also a code word for men and women to express their love and place their love. This is reflected in Han Wo's Heng Tang and Liu's Wuqi Qu.

In addition, Hengtang is also used to express people's feelings such as farewell, parting and friendship. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Ye Luo's poem "Looking back at the Hengtang is more eastward, and the dew is twice as bad as the chrysanthemum", and in the Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda's poem "There are tears in my memory, when will they flow to the Hengtang" all expressed this emotion.
