A plum blossom growing in Xiyan Lake seems to be a trace of no bright color left after washing the pen with light ink.
It doesn't need others to praise its color, but only cares about filling the faint fragrance between heaven and earth.
The word notes are as follows:
Mo Mei: Ink painting plum blossoms. It is also written as "dark and pale plum, a treasure in plum blossoms".
My home: my home. The hometown of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in Jin Dynasty. Because Wang Xizhi and Wang Mian have the same surname and hometown, they compare themselves.
Xiyan Lake: a pool for washing pens and inkstones after writing and drawing. It is said that Zhong You practiced calligraphy when he was young, and often used the pool next to his home to wash his brush, so that the whole pool was dark in the end. When Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said that "the middle school books in the pool are as dark as the water in the pool", it was an allusion to boast that he loved the art and culture of calligraphy and painting.
Mo Mei is a seven-character quatrain written by Wang Mian, a poet in Yuan Dynasty. The first two sentences of this poem directly describe Mo Mei, while the last two sentences praise Mo Mei's virtuous character and Dont Ask For Help's boasting. He just wants to leave a fragrance of virtue in the world, but in fact, he uses plum as a metaphor to express his attitude towards life and noble sentiments without flattering the secular. ?
Extended data:
The first two sentences, "The first tree in my family, Xiyan Lake, is blooming with faint ink marks", which directly describes Mo Mei. In the painting, the plum trees by the pond are in full bloom, and the plum blossoms are stained with a faint ink color. "West Wild Goose Lake" is the allusion of Wang Xizhi's "middle school books in the pool, and the water in the pool is all black".
Three or four sentences praise Mo Mei's moral integrity. It is painted in light ink, although its appearance is not exquisite, it has a beautiful, noble and dignified, secluded and detached inner temperament; It doesn't want to attract people, please people and get people's praise with bright colors. It just wants to send out a fragrance and let it stay between heaven and earth. These two sentences are the poet's self-portrayal. ?
In this poem, a "light" and a "full" have their own personalities. On the one hand, the richness of Mo Mei and the image of the poet's pride are vividly on the paper; On the other hand, it makes people feel that the fragrance of calligraphy and plum blossoms seems to come to their faces. Thus, the "poetic style", "painting style" and personality are skillfully integrated together, with realm, boldness, indifference and straightforward music, which is unique in Yuan poetry.
