Han Yu's late spring
The grass and trees know that spring will come back soon, and all kinds of red and purple fight for Fangfei.
Yang Hua Yu Pod ① There is no talent, but only a solution to the snow flying all over the sky.
note
① elm pod: Yuqianer, the seed of elm, is named Yuqianer because it resembles the ancient strung hemp money.
Appreciation
This poem is the 13th poem in Sixteen Poems Traveling South of the City written by Han Yu in the late spring of the 11th year of Tang Yuanhe (AD 816). The poet took time off to go for an outing in the south of Beijing, but he saw that the flowers were red and green, so delicate and charming. However, the poet was not attracted by the colorful spring flowers, but turned his attention to Yang Hua and Yu Qianer. These lackluster catkins and elm money, they don't have the ability to compete with each other like flowers, only know that they dance with the wind and turn into snow flies. The poet is writing the scene of late spring, so colourful flowers, flying catkins and jade money are all the objects described by the poet. There are different opinions on whether the poet writes the scenery purely, or has another meaning and how the meaning is. But in connection with the other fifteen poems, the poet is referring to something. For example, the first song of "Sixteen Poems on a Tour to the South of the City" reads: "Whoever disturbs the famous can have a day off. I came without a partner and put the wine on Nanshan. " Express your leisurely and relaxed mood. The eleventh song "All the vines fall, the fence collapses and the bamboo is in the air. It is better to stand up in sorrow and turn over the book endlessly. " The poet has seen through the ups and downs of the world. He is tired of fighting with each other in officialdom, but hopes to dance freely with the wind. Therefore, the author thinks that the poet in this poem is not teasing, but praising and laughing at himself. In this colorful spring scene, it takes a lot of courage and courage to fly boldly. But the poet is in the officialdom, and he can't explain it thoroughly, so he seems to be mocking, praising, half-true, half-false, and harmonious. This is the beauty of this poem.
