Sweet osmanthus fragrans
Author: Li Qingzhao (Song Dynasty)
A dull and light corpus luteum is soft. Love is gone, only fragrance remains. Why light blue and deep red? It's a first-class flower
Ding Mei is jealous, but Ju should be ashamed. Draw an aperture to crown the Mid-Autumn Festival. A poet can be heartless in thought, but he got nothing in those days.
Translation:
Pale yellow osmanthus is not bright, but its posture is light. In a quiet place, it is unobtrusive, leaving only a fragrance. Don't need the ruby color of famous flowers. Osmanthus fragrans is light and fragrant, which should be the best.
Compared with sweet-scented osmanthus, plum blossom must be jealous, and chrysanthemum should be ashamed. Osmanthus fragrans is the first flower in autumn, which is natural. Unfortunately, Qu Yuan didn't know much about osmanthus, so he didn't like it. Otherwise, he praised so many flowers in Li Sao, why didn't he mention osmanthus?
About the author:
Li Qingzhao (1March 08413 ~11May 55 12) was born in Zhangqiu, Jinan, Shandong. In the Song Dynasty (the turn of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties), the poetess, represented by graceful and restrained words, was known as "the first talented woman in the ages". In the lyrics, he wrote more about his early leisure life, his later life experience and sentimental mood. In form, it makes good use of line drawing, forms its own school and has beautiful language. On the theory of ci, it emphasizes harmony and elegance, puts forward the theory that ci is different from one family, and opposes the method of writing ci into poetry. There are not many who can write poems. Some chapters have a sense of the times, praise history and use generous words, which is different from their style of words. There are Yi 'an Jushi Collection and Yi 'an Ci, which have been lost. Later generations have a collection of Yu Shu's ci. There is a collation of Li Qingzhao's collected works today.
