Several plum blossoms in the corner are blooming alone in the cold.
Why do you know from a distance that Bai Meihua is not snow? Because there is a faint plum blossom fragrance.
Second, the original poem
There are some plums in the corner, and cold ling opens them alone.
I knew from a distance that it wasn't snow, because there was a smell coming.
Third, the author
Plum blossom is a five-character quatrain written by Wang Anshi, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. The first two sentences of this poem are written that plum blossoms in the corner are not afraid of the cold and are proudly independent; The last two sentences describe the delicate fragrance of plum blossom, personifying it, and making Ling Cold blossom alone. Allusions are noble in character, and their faint fragrance is refreshing, symbolizing their brilliance.
It is also a metaphor for those who, like poets, can still uphold integrity and advocate justice with the strength and noble character of plum blossoms in a difficult environment. The language of the whole poem is simple, but it is plain and restrained, but it is also profound and intriguing.
Extended data:
Appreciate:
1. There is a famous song about plum blossom sung by the ancients, which is Xiaomei in the Garden in the Mountain written by Lin Bu, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty before the author. In particular, the poem "Shadows are shallow and dusk is fragrant" is known as Yongmei's swan song.
2. Lin Bu has never been an official in his life, nor has he married or had children. He lives alone on the hillside of an isolated mountain near the West Lake, growing plums and raising cranes, and lives in seclusion. Therefore, when he wrote Yongmei's poems, he could only express his lofty thought of being divorced from social reality.
3. The author's poems are different. He skillfully borrowed Lin Bu's poems, but he was able to bring forth the new. Look at the plum blossoms he wrote. They are as white as snow. They grow in the corner without inferiority, and they exude a fragrance from a distance. The poet described the purity and beauty of plum blossom with snow by appreciating its noble character of not being afraid of cold, and pointed out that plum blossom has a "dark fragrance" more than snow, which shows the great charm of a strong and noble personality.
