People in China generally have a soft spot for plum blossoms. It should be said that no flower has been praised unanimously like plum blossom. In fact, as far as Mei's image is concerned, if it is a "beauty contest" among flowers, she is definitely not the best. Petals as thin as cicadas, sparse stamens and faint fragrance are absolutely difficult to attract people's attention in many fragrant countries. Looking back on the reasons why the former sages praised Mei and the feelings of being a guest several times, I think that Mei has been appreciated, praised and praised for thousands of years, mostly because of her personality. Therefore, "taste like plum" is often used as a compliment to a person's character or as a standard of self-motivation. In the Song Dynasty, Mr. Lin Hejing was handsome and unique, unwilling to be an official all his life, and never married and had children. He lived in seclusion in Gushan, Hangzhou, and planted plums all his life. He was called "Plum Wife Crane" and it has been passed down as a much-told story.
The popularity of plum blossom in China culture is, in the final analysis, due to the pen power of literati. Literati in China often boast that they take the world as their responsibility, but their experiences are quite different, especially those honest and honest gentlemen and virtuous ministers, who are often incompetent or have been relegated repeatedly. The charm of plum blossom is lofty, elegant and fragrant, and it is often entrusted with lofty aspirations, compared with its own will and soul. For example, Lu You's poem "Who is Wally's Spring Return" Wang Mian also said: "Don't boast of lewdness, just leave a mouthful of dry Kun." It is these clever brushstrokes of the ancients that endow May with charming and aloof personality and spread widely.
From the anthropomorphic point of view, the creation really wronged Mei. Among the 24 solar terms in Hua Xinfeng, Meixin is the first, and the solar terms are just at the time of "bitter cold". Although she was born at an untimely time and had an ill-fated fate, Mei persisted. In the biting cold, she was "lonely and unloved", showing brave, rebellious and tragic colors. It is Mei's nature that keeps her from being pushed out of the bureau in the world of natural selection and survival of the fittest, but is sublimated to the status of "three friends in cold age" and "four gentlemen in flowers" by literati. As a loyal "Ke Mei", I really learned too much from Mei's character. Every time I come back from enjoying plum blossoms, I often sigh at night: bitter cold is really unfair to plum blossoms and unfair to the world. Mei, on the other hand, is proud of the vanishing cream and has no regrets. She dedicates her fragrance year after year and season after season. In the face of setbacks, sufferings and grievances, I often see plum blossoms in my dreams.
Buddhism once said that "all beings are equal". In fact, as far as its process is concerned, life is no different from that of other creatures in the world. It is certainly a good thing that people born in another country, Wei Zi and Yao Huang, are envied from time to time. However, things are often not satisfactory. In this world, after all, there are very few lucky people with high officials and high salaries. No matter what occupation most people are engaged in, the result of their efforts is a well-off society at best. Of course, I don't like poverty. In today's society, it is difficult for a person who has no worries about food and clothing all his life to achieve a career. However, I have never expected to be rich or expensive. With organized training and personal efforts, it is enough to do what you like and live a good life. Think of that cold plum, if really changed his greenhouse environment, I'm afraid it's really unbearable. Mei takes root, grows and blooms in the cold background, and it is this cold that gives her the motivation to grow. Isn't bitter cold wealth to plum? The same is true of people's life. All wishes come true and everything goes well. It's just a good wish, and suffering is also an indispensable part of life. The spiritual value gained by a person through suffering is also a kind of special wealth, which is hard-won and naturally will not be easily lost. Mei is in a morbid environment, in the unfair treatment of scattered incense. Is it necessary to change this living environment, correct this injustice and demand a correct statement? This may never be done. In this regard, Mei adopts a silent attitude, and it is this tolerance that makes her always unique among thousands of flowers.
