Nalan's lament Ci(悼亡词) is the representative work of Chinese lament poems. Previous studies on his poems were carried out from different angles, but the application of the linguistic theory is not enough, the interpretation of his works from the perspective of cognitive linguistics iconicity theory is yet to be seen. This paper intends to apply the theory of iconicity to analyze iconicity phenomenon of Nalan's poems, in order to better understand the deep meaning and aesthetic value, provide a new perspective for the interpretation of his poems. Iconicity theory has gained increasing attention in the wake of the development of cognitive linguistics. Several iconicity principles have been put forward including the iconicity of phonology, the iconicity of quantity, the iconicity of sequence, the iconicity of markedness, the iconicity of proximity etc. These principles reveal how language imitates the external world, human experience and human thoughts. This thesis makes an attempt to analyze Nalan's lament Ci under the first four iconicity principles in the hope to find out how iconicity works in Nalan's Ci text, further more, to recognize and feel the connotation and aesthetic sense of his poems. Based on the analysis of Nalan's lament Ci from the perspective of iconicity, this study finds out that the iconicity of phonology brings a reverberation of inner emotions, and the iconicity of quantity increases the emotional content of text, the iconicity of sequence brings a sense of integration to the reader, the iconicity of markedness inspires readers' expectation of reading. Iconicity analysis tells us that the language in a poems has multipledimensions of expression. Poetic words has the naturalness and truly expressive, with artistic appeal, so that readers can feel the author's true feelings as if he is in the same situation.
