The poem about Mid-Autumn Osmanthus is as follows:
1. There is a tree named Dangui, which has a fragrant fragrance at all times. The flowers are bright with snow at night, and the leaves are cut with green clouds in spring. ——"Eight Poems About Wood·Eighth" (Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
Appreciation:
The first sentence "There is a tree named Dangui, and its fragrance is fragrant all the time." Points out that Dangui The fragrance of cinnamon is as fragrant as ever. Then "the flowers are clustered with snow at night, and the leaves are cut with green clouds in spring" describes the shape of the flowers and leaves. "Yexue" describes the brightness of the osmanthus flowers as the night snow, and "春云" describes the denseness of the osmanthus leaves as the spring clouds.
Liang Xiaogang has a saying: "Love people and cultivate virtue, and you will wait for the spring clouds." Bai Juyi praised the whiteness of the sweet-scented osmanthus, and also praised the virtues symbolized by the vitality and warmth of the osmanthus leaves, which are like spring clouds. He also has his own sustenance.
2. An Zhinanshan osmanthus has green leaves and fragrant roots. Qingyin can also be entrusted, so why not cherish the tree in your garden? ——"Ode to the Osmanthus" (Tang Dynasty) Li Bai
Appreciation:
"An Zhi Nanshan osmanthus, the green leaves hang down the fragrant roots" two lines sing about the Nanshan osmanthus, with the Nanshan osmanthus and The peaches and plums in "Jin Zhangmen" above form a sharp contrast. The osmanthus tree in Nanshan has "green leaves hanging down and fragrant roots", which means that the poet is full of talent but not common knowledge. The laurel tree in Nanshan has green leaves hanging down all year round, which not only brings coolness to people, but also spreads fragrance to the world.
The two sentences "Qingyin can also be entrusted, why not tree the king's garden" clearly illustrate the purpose of Qianye, and the request to plant the osmanthus tree in the "jun's garden" euphemistically expresses one's desire to be appreciated by the "jun" desire.
3. The body is dim and light yellow, soft in nature, and only the fragrance remains. ——"Partridge Sky·Osmanthus" (Song Dynasty) Li Qingzhao
Appreciation:
Poems about objects generally focus on chanting objects and expressing emotions, with little discussion. Li Qingzhao's poem in praise of Gui goes against the tradition in that he uses discussion in the poem and expresses his feelings with objects in mind. The chanting of objects is not lacking in images, and the discussion can also be full of poetic flavor, which is truly unique.
“The body is dim and light yellow, the nature is soft, and the love is far away, only the fragrance remains.” The unique charm of Osmanthus fragrans is written in both form and spirit. Her color is not bright, "dull and light yellow", and compared with many famous flowers, her appearance is much inferior. Her social reputation is also very average. She is "away from love" and has not received any honor or favor, let alone anyone who will give her warm praise. But her body is gentle and her fragrance lingers between heaven and earth.
