Zhou Dunyi's Love Lotus Theory
The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. Tao Jinyuan clearly loves chrysanthemums. Since Li Tang came, peonies have been loved all over the world. Love lotus alone, dirt-free, clear but not demon. Straight outside, not crawling, fragrant and clear. It is slim and elegant, so you can look at it from a distance without looking ridiculous.
Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Hey! The love between chrysanthemums and flowers is rarely heard after Tao. Who gave the lotus love? Peony love is suitable for many people.
Appreciation of Ailian's Theory
? Say? , one of the styles of ancient argumentative writing, often expresses one's will by depicting things. Zhou Dunyi's "Love Lotus" is a rare masterpiece in this style.
Lotus was once the object of admiration by literati in the past dynasties, but most literati were amazed at its beautiful posture and plain appearance and shaped it into a pen; However, this excellent essay has a unique way. Through the description of the image and quality of the lotus flower, it praises the faithful character of the lotus flower, and also shows the author's noble personality and generous mind.
From the content point of view, this paper can be clearly divided into two parts: the first part tries to describe the image of hibiscus noble; The second part reveals the metaphorical meaning of the lotus, comments on three flowers and expresses the author's deep sigh for the lotus itself.
In the first part of the article, I wrote that the beauty of lotus lies in one of them. Jay? Words. First of all, out of the mud but not dyed, clear but not demon? It is about the lotus in the mud, but it is spotless, not following the secular, self-love and naive spirit. Second,? Straight outside, straight outside, not lying down? , wrote its internal and external penetration, straight appearance, internal and external similarities, and did not involve climbing; Again? Can you watch from a distance and stop playing? Lotus wrote, like a proud gentleman, he will never be despised by the world.
Everything mentioned above is actually a portrayal of the author's personality and a self-evident mind, which can be proved from the second part of the article. As the author said:? Who gave the lotus love? The subtext is that there are too few people like him.
On the text, Ailian said? Say? This style has the same feature, that is, it expresses its will by supporting things. The article comes from? Out of the mud and not stained? From the very beginning, it depicts the bearing and elegant demeanor of the lotus with strong colors, entrusts the author's affirmation and pursuit of ideal personality, and also reflects the author's contempt for the world of wealth and fame and the pursuit of a clean and honest life. At the same time, the article also uses the method of comparison and contrast, and compares the beauty of lotus with chrysanthemum and peony several times in the article; Also compare the seclusion of chrysanthemum, the wealth of peony and the nobleness of lotus, like this? Irene. A theme has been deepened, without empty preaching, but through the comparison of three images, it has played a role in highlighting the center and deepening the conception, and the technique can be described as extremely ingenious. Moreover, the article is based on a? Love? The text runs through the whole article, which makes the structure of the article rigorous. At the end of the article, the author laments that there are few real hermits, few noble gentlemen and many vulgar people who are greedy for money, which is intriguing and thought-provoking.
This poem is also very distinctive in language, that is, it is beautiful and concise, and it is really beautiful like a lotus flower. There is no superfluous useless language. What's the point? Mud without dye, clear without demon? This is the central topic of this article.
The ancients generally used things to express their feelings. The same sentence has two meanings, one is metaphor and the other is expression. The same,? Out of the mud and not stained, Qing Lian has no demon? There is also a second expression. What does the metaphorical author have? Out of the mud and not stained, Qing Lian has no demon? Noble character. In fact, what he means is that officialdom is dark, so it is as difficult for you to maintain a noble character in officialdom as it is for a lotus to emerge from the mud without being defiled. This is also a summary of his experience as an official, because he doesn't want to go along with it. And then what? Qing Lian has no demon? It's just a good wish of the author. Walking by the river often, how can you not wet your shoes? Therefore, it is commendable to be able to stand alone in a hundred flowers. This is also the author's sigh, because he can't be immune to the big environment, except to escape and stay away. Or, like him, guard one of his festivals conscientiously.
