The meaning of this poem is that white lotus roots can grow in the mud and topaz flowers can bloom in the dung soil.
Appreciation of the work:
1. This poem shows the poet's sympathy for the beautiful woman "living" in a poor family, and his deep sense of separation from his own life experience. The original note at the bottom of the poem was "I have heard that this is what happened among the people."
2. The original story was: "When the valley was in Jingzhou, there was a neighbor woman who was quiet and beautiful, with an attitude and a young girl. The valley is very sad. His family is in the same village, and his husband is also mediocre and poor.
3. The valley is because of Ma Yao Zhongyu, the governor of Jingnan. The poem "Daffodil" was written by Gai. A few years later, the girl's second son lived in the Tian family of the county. He was haggard and exhausted, but there was still a trace of beauty, so he was named after Guoxiang. >
4. Huang Tingjian uses the long-suffering resentment of his subordinates to write about outstandingly beautiful and unknown folk beauties. His writing is full of emotion and reveals an air of injustice. The first two sentences of the poem use two metaphors: snow-white lotus roots grow out of the mud, and topaz flowers (topaz flowers are another name for narcissus) grow out of dung soil.
