Metaphor, as a systematic expression of human thinking, action and thought, is not only a form of language expression, but also a universal cognitive mode of human beings. Book of Poetry, containing a large number of metaphors, is a classical work of human civilization. By studying the metaphors in Book of Poetry, the thinking process of the people in the pre-Qin Dynasty can be fully understood. Based on the conceptual metaphor theory of Lakoff and Johnson, taking Book of Poetry as the corpus, this paper aims to explore the plant metaphors in the poetry. According to the different target domain, in this paper, the plant metaphors in Book of Poetry are classified into metaphors for virtue, for beautiful things, for blessing and for feeling, and some corresponding examples are used to elaborate them. This study is of great significance to the appreciation and dissemination of Chinese classical poetry. At the same time, by studying classical Chinese cultural works, the cross-language and cross-cultural characteristics of conceptual metaphor theory are proved.
