The three most domineering poems about Huangchao Chrysanthemum are as follows:
1. When autumn comes on September 8th, after my flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will die. The incense formation soaring to the sky penetrates Chang'an, and the whole city is covered with golden armor. ——Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty, "Fu Ju after Budi".
Appreciation: The first two sentences of this poem, "When autumn comes on September 8th, I will bloom and kill hundreds of flowers", which points out the time and momentum of the chrysanthemums blooming. Only the chrysanthemums bloomed alone, looking particularly dazzling. Here, the poet uses "I will kill hundreds of flowers after they bloom" to express the domineering temperament of chrysanthemums and their dominance in autumn.
“The city is full of golden armor” vividly depicts the scene of golden petals of chrysanthemums in full bloom all over the city, giving people a sense of grandeur.
The whole poem is full of Huang Chao's heroic feelings and unyielding spirit. Through the image of chrysanthemum, he expresses his confidence in his talents and ambitions and his pursuit of power and glory. At the same time, this poem also expresses dissatisfaction with social injustice and the current situation, implying the desire for revolution and the pursuit of social change.
2. The rustling west wind fills the courtyard with plants, and the flowers are cold and fragrant, and it is difficult for butterflies to come. If I were the Qing Emperor in his future years, I would be rewarded with peach blossoms. ——"Inscribed on Chrysanthemums" by Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty
Appreciation: This poem was written by Huang Chao when he saw chrysanthemums blooming independently in autumn. The poet used the "whistling west wind" to emphasize the bleakness and coldness of autumn, but the chrysanthemum can bloom independently in such an environment, showing its strength and unyieldingness.
The poet imagined that one day he could become the Qing Emperor (one of the five gods in ancient mythology), change the laws of nature and social systems, and let chrysanthemums and peach blossoms bloom together.
The whole poem is full of Huang Chao's spirit of rebellion and challenge to the social hierarchy. He expressed his understanding of the world and longing for the future through the image of chrysanthemums. At the same time, this poem also expresses his profound thinking and reflection on the laws of nature and social systems.
3. The dew and the wind are fragrant, and the sleeves are full of autumn. Self-pity has been left for the Song family. Now I realize that I was wrong at that time, Gan Laoyan Mountain Hanshui Island. ——Zheng Gu's "Chrysanthemum".
Appreciation: This poem "Chrysanthemum" is one of Zheng Gu's representative works. The poem uses chrysanthemum as the theme. Through the description of chrysanthemum, it expresses the poet's emotion about the situation in life and his helplessness about the passage of time.
The first sentence "The dew is wet and the wind is fragrant, and the autumn sleeves are full of fragrance" describes the beautiful scene of chrysanthemums in the autumn wind. It captures the fragrance of chrysanthemums, and "Full sleeves of autumn" expresses the poet's love for the beauty of autumn.
