Appreciation:
This is an inscribed poem. The poet praised Mo Mei and Dont Ask For Help, and only wanted to leave a fragrance of virtue to the world. In fact, he used Mei as a metaphor to express his attitude towards life and noble sentiment of not flattering the world.
The first two sentences, "The first tree in Xiyan Lake, my home, blooms with pale ink marks", directly describe Mo Mei. In the painting, the plum trees beside the pond are in full bloom, and the plum blossoms are all stained with light ink. "Xiyan Lake" is the allusion of Wang Xizhi's "learning books in the pool, and the water in the pool is all black".
Three or four sentences praise Mo Mei's virtuous and upright character. It is painted in light ink, although its appearance is not delicate, but it has the inner temperament of being beautiful, noble and dignified, secluded and detached; It doesn't want to attract people, please people and get people's praise with bright colors, but only wants to send out a fragrance and let it stay between heaven and earth. These two sentences are the poet's self-portrayal. Wang Mian grew up poor, herded cattle during the day, and studied hard at night under the ever-burning lamps of Buddhist temples. Finally, he learned a lot, and he was good at poetry and painting and versatile. However, he tried again and again, and he didn't want to curry favor with the powerful, so he decided to seek fame and fortune and retired to Jiuli Mountain in eastern Zhejiang, painting rice for a living. The phrase "Don't be praised for its good color, just keep your breath full of dry Kun" shows the poet's character of despising vulgarity, being independent and not seeking meritorious service.
This poem is entitled "Mo Mei", which is intended to express ambition. The poet organically integrates painting style, poetry style and personality. Literally praising plum blossom, in fact, appreciating one's virtue of standing.
In this poem, a "light" and a "full" are full of individuality. On the one hand, the rich posture of Mo Mei and the image of the poet's proud shore are vividly displayed on the paper; On the other hand, it makes people feel that the fragrance of calligraphy and plum blossoms seem to come to their faces. Thus, "poetic style", "painting style" and personality are skillfully integrated.
"Mo Mei" praised plum blossom's noble character, and the poet also expressed his feelings through things and used plum blossom as a metaphor, which showed his attitude towards life and noble sentiment. Some people think that this poem is even more famous in the history of art than Memetu itself, which points out the creative intention and emphasizes the moral interest.
