Original poem:
Mexican dollar DPRK: Wang Mian
The first tree in my Xiyan Lake is light ink.
Don't praise the good color, as long as it is clear and full of dried Kun.
Explanation:
There is a plum tree in the West Wild Goose Lake near my home, and the blooming plum blossoms are all covered with faint ink marks.
Don't need others to praise its beautiful color, just need the fragrance of plum blossoms to diffuse between heaven and earth.
Introduction:

Extended data:
The poem's tone is calm and simple, and the word "light" implies the introverted and deep personality characteristics of plum blossom, which paves the way for further exploring the philosophical implication of plum blossom below. This is actually writing "plum blossom".
"Don't let people praise the color, leaving only the dry Kun in the air." Fresh air, pure and quiet air. With simple and clear brushwork, the poet naturally pushed the realm of poetry to a new and rational height, and showed the beauty of plum blossom from reality to emptiness in a personalized way: quietly opening and quietly smelling, and no one praised its bright colors, just seeking to leave a clear breath between heaven and earth, adding a fragrance and purity to the world.
This choice captures the spiritual characteristics of plum blossom, which is highly praised by the world, and writes the indifferent feelings and honest character of plum blossom.
Although this poem is expressed with relaxed discussion words, it has injected an unusual ideological force into the whole poem, with high style and comfortable expression. It can be said that "harmony without difference" wins by chanting things, while this poem wins by realm. This is more appropriate to be explained by the comment in the History of Painting that "the Southern Song Dynasty respected the style and the Yuan people respected the meaning".
This seven-line poem is a natural and lively oral style, with flexible narrative, reality and reality, and it has a unique flavor to read.
