The word "exhausted" means: withered, withered and withered. The lotus flower withered, even the lotus leaf that was holding the rain withered. From Su Shi's "Gift to Liu Jingwen" in Song Dynasty.
Introduction:
To Liu Jingwen is a seven-character quatrain written by Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. It's an encouraging poem for my good friend Liu Jingwen. Express the author's broad mind, encourage and support friends in the same dilemma, and express their aspirations with lofty artistic conception.
The original poem:
"To Liu Jingwen" Song Dynasty: Su Shi
The lotus has no rain cover, and there are still Ao Shuang branches in the chrysanthemum.
you must remember the good scenery in a year, especially when it is orange, orange and green. (The most important work: exactly)
Interpretation:
The lotus flower withered, even the lotus leaf that was holding the rain withered, and only the flower branch that defeated the chrysanthemum was proud of the cold and frost.
You must remember the best scenery in a year, that is, in the late autumn and early winter when oranges are golden and green.
Extended information:
The poem is about early winter scenery. In order to highlight the best scenery of "orange, orange and green" in a year, the poet first painted a picture of the late autumn with highly summarized pen and ink: the lotus pond in Zhulian, where the green leaves were connected to the sky and the red flowers reflected the sun, has long since faded and the withered stems and leaves can no longer hold up green umbrellas to keep out the wind and rain.
The residual chrysanthemum, which is an independent hedge, has a fragrant stalk, but it also has no whole leaves. Only the tall and straight branches fight against the wind in Ao Shuang, and it is still vigorous. There are many kinds of nature, and flowers bloom and fall in a year. It can be said that the seasons are different and the months are different.
Here, the poet only chooses the lotus and chrysanthemum, which dominate in summer and autumn respectively, and writes about their decline to set off the cold heart of orange.
The poet's cleverness also lies in that he did not simply write about the withering of lotus and chrysanthemum flowers, but extended his description to lotus leaves and chrysanthemum branches. Throughout the life of lotus, lotus leaves are indispensable for it.
Su Shi's saying that the failure of the lotus is complete can be described as vivid! Similarly, chrysanthemum is known as the outstanding figure under the frost, not only because it is cold and fragrant, but also because it has tall and straight branches. Only when the flower is broken can the branch become independent in Ao Shuang, and its solitary and proud character can be fully reflected.
The poet's observation is meticulous, and the poet's ability to grasp the essence of things is also strong! These two sentences are literally opposite and connected in content, which is called "flowing water pair" "There is nothing" and "there is still" in one go, and write the difference between the two flowers.
