Two nights of mandarin duck quilt, pear tree pressing begonia.
This poem originated from Su Shi's visit to a friend named Zhang Xian. At that time, Zhang Xian was 8 1 year old. But Zhang Xi 'an can be said to be "strong" and even married a young woman of 18 as a concubine. Zhang Xi 'an can be said to be an old man with a young heart. He is naturally happy when he marries a concubine.
At that time, the Binks present booed Zhang Xian and wrote a poem to express their joy. Zhang Xian also don't wriggle, he hence the people's mind, write down:
I am 80 years old, 18 years old. Qing is a beauty. My hair is white. I have the same roots as Qing, just a flower in the middle.
After listening, everyone clapped their hands and praised Zhang Xian for writing a good poem. At this time, Su Shi, who was just in high spirits, said: Then I will write one for you! So, Su Shi wrote:
Eighteen brides and eighty lang, with white hair and red makeup, spent two nights in the quilt, and a pear tree pressed Haitang.
When everyone listened, some people were expressionless, some people were speechless, and some people looked at Zhang. After listening to Su Shi's poems, a beautiful scene of spring comes to everyone's mind. Zhang Xian is 80 years old, with white hair like a pear blossom book, the bride is the most beautiful, and the girl with pink peach blossoms is like a newly blooming begonia flower. One is the old groom, and the other is the shy bride. The word "stress" makes the listener think.
What a "pear flower hits begonia"! Su Shi wrote a proper lyric poem, and we have to admire Dongpo's talent!
