1, the poem depicts the scene of autumn, such as "the lotus has no shelter from the rain, and the chrysanthemum still has Ao Shuang branches." These two poems describe that the lotus in autumn has withered, and the chrysanthemum is still standing proudly in the frost, but it has already withered. This description not only shows the scene of autumn, but also implies the passage of time and the ruthlessness of time.
This poem also expresses the feelings of encouraging friends. "A good year, when it is orange and green, must be remembered." In these two poems, Su Shi reminds Liu Jingwen to cherish the good times in front of him, because although autumn is bleak, it is also a harvest season in a year. Oranges are yellow and green, and these beautiful scenery are worth cherishing. Su Shi hopes that Liu Jingwen will not be depressed because of the bleak autumn, but should keep an optimistic spirit and meet the challenges of life.
3. The poem also expresses the feeling of parting from friends, "Don't sing yellow chicken with white hair." In this poem, Su Shi compares old age to white hair and the passage of time to yellow chicken. He hoped that Liu Jingwen would not be depressed because of old age, but cherish time and be positive.
Liu Jingwen's background:
To Liu Jingwen is a seven-character quatrain written by Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. This poem was written in the fifth year of Yuan You (A.D. 1090) and is an encouraging poem for my good friend Liu Jingwen.
Liu Jingwen was a famous writer, calligrapher and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he had a deep friendship with Su Shi. At that time, Su Shi was appointed as the magistrate of Hangzhou, while Liu Jingwen was an official under his door. The two appreciate each other and have a deep friendship.
The writing background of this poem is that in an autumn, Su Shi and Liu Jingwen met by the West Lake in Hangzhou. At that time, the autumn scene was bleak, the lotus pond had withered and the chrysanthemums had withered. When Su Shi saw this scene, he thought of the ruthlessness of time and the passage of time, so he wrote this poem and gave it to Liu Jingwen, encouraging him to cherish the good times and keep an optimistic spirit.
In the poem, with the help of autumn scenery, Su Shi depicts the withering of chrysanthemum in the lotus pond, implying the ruthlessness of time and the passage of time. He reminded Liu Jingwen to cherish the good times in front of him, because although autumn is bleak, it is also the harvest season of the year. Oranges are yellow and green, and these beautiful scenery are worth cherishing.
