Make an appreciative comment

Many poets in ancient and modern times often write snow and plum together. Because Meier Snow reveals the information of spring, because Meier Snow shows noble character. For example, in Mao Zedong's Operator Yongmei, he once wrote: "Wind and rain send spring home, and snow flies to welcome the spring. Although the icicles on the cliff are still hanging for miles. There is a sweet flower in it. Joe doesn't fight for spring, he only reports it. When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she laughs in the bushes. " Snow and plum have become the messengers of spring, and the symbol that winter goes and spring comes.

The first sentence uses anthropomorphic methods to write that plum blossom and snowflake compete with each other, and they all think that they are the most distinctive in early spring, and they do not admit defeat, creatively showing the beauty of plum blossom and snowflake in early spring to the fullest. It is difficult for poets to judge between the two. The poet thought it was a stroke of a pen, but because it was difficult to judge, he had to stop writing and think. "Comment on chapter" means evaluation.

The last two sentences are the poet's comments on Mei and Xue. As far as whiteness is concerned, plum is worse than snow, but snow has no taste of plum blossoms. "Three points" is not much different. "One paragraph" materializes the aroma, which makes people feel that the aroma can be measured. Predecessors have noticed these characteristics of Mei and Xue, such as "Song of Snow White Farewell to Mr. Wu's Hometown": "Like a spring breeze, ten thousand pears have blown away overnight." Wang Anshi's poem "Plum Blossoms": "There are a few plums in the corner, and hanling blooms alone. I know from a distance that it is not snow, because it has a faint fragrance. " But this poem summarizes the different characteristics of Mei and Xue in the two poems, which is very interesting and has certain influence. ▲
