| dc.description.abstract | Classical Chinese poetry, as part of literary heritage, is a literary work that uses
language as a medium to convey ideas, feelings, and moods in an aesthetic and
meaningful way. The meaning contained in poetry is studied based on the field of
linguistics, namely semantics, which is a study that focuses on the meaning of
language. This study examines nature poems by Xue Tao collected in the book
Brocade River Poems. Xue Tao was one of the famous female poets of the Tang
Dynasty. The purpose of this study is to analyze the lexical meaning, denotative
meaning, and connotative meaning contained in these poems. The method used is a
qualitative research method with a literature study approach. The results show that
the lexical meanings analyzed refer to the meanings of words according to the
Chinese-Indonesian dictionary and the Modern Mandarin Dictionary. From the
analysis of Xue Tao's nature poems, it was found that 22 data contained denotative
meanings, which are straightforward and literal meanings, while 20 data contained
connotative meanings, which are symbolic, figurative, and reflect emotions and
cultural contexts. It can be concluded that Xue Tao's nature poems not only describe
the beauty of nature descriptively, but also combine natural elements with
emotional expressions in a richly symbolic form. | en_US |
