Ancient poems describing plants

"Moss" Yuan Mei [Qing]

Life is not everywhere, youth is just coming.

Although moss is as small as rice, it also blooms like peony. (It's also a work: it's also)

translate

In the shade where the warm sun can't shine, life is sprouting, and the moss is still green.

Although moss is as small as a grain of rice, it can still bloom as warmly as a noble peony.

To annotate ...

Day: the sun.

Moss is a low-level plant, mostly parasitic in dark and humid places, but it also has its own life instinct and intention, and will not lose the courage to grow hair because of the harsh environment. It is very insightful for the poet to see this and sing praises.

"The sky is everywhere", even in such a place that is not suitable for life growth, moss can grow green and show youth. It is in such an environment that moss creates life, and with strong vitality, it breaks through the obstacles of the environment and glows with youthful brilliance.

Although moss is as small as a grain of rice, aren't small flowers flowers? As long as we can develop, seed and multiply, it is a victory in life. Therefore, "teacher peony" is both modesty and pride. Moss is so small and humble that it can't compare with peony, but peony is carefully cultivated by people. Moss has won the right to open like a flower with tenacious vitality-the world is not limited to a few geniuses and heroes.
