Experience. Delicate orchid leaves in spring
Orchids in spring are full of flowers, and osmanthus in autumn is bright and fresh.
Life in the world is full of vitality, which naturally conforms to the beautiful season.
Who wants to live in seclusion in the mountains and smell the fragrance, so full of joy.
Won't it be more demanding to be transplanted than any other natural flower? .
The general idea of this poem is not difficult to understand:
Leaves are lush in spring, and sweet-scented osmanthus in autumn is bright and fresh. Lan Guixin is full of vitality, and the Spring and Autumn Festival is a beautiful day. Who can understand that hermits in the mountains, the smell of incense gives birth to admiration? Flowers are naturally fragrant, so why seek beauty and fame?
The "beauty" in the poem does not refer to the beauty with a good face as we say in modern times, but refers to the woodcutter or hermit with noble character. It should be understood from the aspect of morality, similar to a modest gentleman with noble morality and clean life.
Combined with the text, it is understood that orchids are warm in spring in bloom and sweet-scented osmanthus is crisp in autumn. This is Gui Lan's nature, not to win the beauty's collection, nor to please her.
Poets use this as a metaphor for their self-discipline, self-cultivation and self-cultivation. They are really conscientious, not to win praise from the outside world, nor to increase their ranks and titles, and so on.
Judging from the poet's own career, the poet Zhang Jiuling is not trying to win the favor and praise of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, he is not the kind of person who flatters.
It is said that Xuanzong always appreciated Zhang Jiuling's talent. After Zhang Jiuling's death, whenever someone recommended talents to the imperial court, Xuanzong would ask, "Is he as charming as nine years old?"
Visible Xuanzong's recognition of talents in Zhang Jiuling, if it weren't for the flattery of the treacherous court official, Zhang Jiuling wouldn't be relegated. The essence of Zhang Jiuling's poetry is to show his mind to those in power, and to compare himself with Gui Lan's nobility.
So from this perspective, Zhang Jiuling expressed his personal feelings, and the "beauty" here may refer to people who were in power at that time, or people like Tang Xuanzong.
