On Yongmei's Flower Poems from Wu Wenying's Flowers and Plums

Appreciation of Yongmei's Plum Blossom Poems.

Wu Wenying

The door is wrinkled and blue, and the road enters pale smoke. Spring is near Jiang Nanan. It's as cold as scissors at dusk. Lin Xiying, half oblique and half shallow. The plane is late. Wandering thousands of miles, the fragrance is far away. Correctly, the three branches of Qiongshu are always like Lan Changjian. Crispy clouds keep the night warm. Rancho is thin and Xiao Feng is gentle. Leng Yun green, quiet for a long time, speechless secretly complain about spring. The east wind is halfway. The material is accurate, and He Lang's words are written. The joy is not over, the misty rain is green and yellow, and it is perfect to spend the day in the pavilion.

This is a rather puzzling Yongmei Ci. The first three sentences write about the seasonal climate in early spring in the south of the Yangtze River. Moss like wrinkles grows in front of the door, and the road is full of smoke. It was a beautiful early spring in Jiangnan, when plum blossoms were in full bloom. One evening when Meixin first heard it, it was "as cold as scissors", and a burst of spring cold was like scissors, scraping the muscles and stabbing the face. The poet came to the river to look for plum blossoms. Plum blossoms shine in the stream, and the branches and semi-oblique plum shadows in the water make the stream clear and shallow. As Lin Bu said in his poem, "The shadow is thin and the water is shallow" (Xiaomei in the Garden in the Mountain). This is a charming pen. "Flying pheasant" three sentences, write plum blossom fragrance in the snow. "Lumbricus" refers to snowflakes. These three words mean: at night, snowflakes are flying in the sky. This snowflake, like plum blossom, floats on the thousands of miles plain, bringing the fragrance of plum blossom to the vast world. The word "Dimfragrance" is literally copied from Lin Bu's "Dimfragrance Drifting in the Moon and Dusk", but this word combines Xiang Mei and thousands of miles of snow, which is not only magnificent, but also has a long artistic conception. "Look straight" three sentences, write the charm of plum trees in the snow. The poet carefully studied the plum trees in the snow, only to see those three plum trees, slim and graceful, like three handsome heroes. Lanchang, namely Sun Lan and Acorus calamus, was used by the ancients as a metaphor for people with morality and kindness.

The first part describes the delicate fragrance, thin shadow and handsome shape of snow in plum blossom wind. The next one is about the bitterness of plum blossom, which is beautiful and desolate in white. "Crisp clouds make the night warm" means that plum blossoms are delicate and moist, as light and beautiful as white clouds, which can bring spring warmth to cold nights. The word "partner" means a double partner. Take the following two sentences for example. Rancho is a simplified version of the jade play Lanping. Guo Pu's poem "A Sad and Youth Play in the Orchid Makes the Face Brighter" ("Poems of Wandering Immortals"). This is a delicate and beautiful image. "Xiao Feng" is the allusion of Xiao Feng Ming. Legend has it that Xiao Shishan's flute playing style is very loud. Qin Mugong married his daughter Nong Yu, and they both lived in Fengtai. The flute attracted the phoenix, and they rode the flute to become immortals. Later generations used this as a metaphor for elegant and beautiful love. The above two sentences are about the beauty of plum blossom temperament, as thin as "Emerald Lanping" and "Shaw History Feng Ming". This is a strong compliment. "Leng Yun" three sentences, write the suffering of plum blossoms. It is said that plum blossom was abandoned in a desolate and cold place, and its secret period could not be realized for a long time. She was silent, but secretly complained about the thick spring resentment. This kind of abandoned bitterness is a portrayal of the poet's uneven mood. Wu Wenying's life was rough and bitter, so he borrowed plum blossoms. Three sentences of "East Wind", with the classic of He Lang, praise the cleanliness, whiteness and beauty of Mei. He Lang was a peace between the Three Kingdoms period. He is a handsome man with a white face. He felt sorry for himself and his face was covered with powder. He is called "Fufen Helang". Therefore, Song Jing's "Plum Blossom Fu" said: "Just like giving points, it is called He Lang." It is the first time that flowers compare with men. The spring breeze blows half a plum blossom, which is white, like a jade-faced Helang. I look forward to your writing a Plum Blossom Fu. The last three sentences are about loneliness in rainy days and stopping enjoying plums. I was enjoying plum blossoms with great interest when it started to drizzle, which made the courtyard and billiards hall dark. Gather the whole article in loneliness.

This word is not written in plum blossom one place at a time, but its time and space and image are changeable, which shows the poet's complex feelings of appreciating plum blossom. The words are beautiful and refined, but there are many allusions, which are obscure in the advantages and disadvantages of deep songs. The structure of Chinese characters is quite complicated, so the predecessors made fun of the "seven pagodas".
