The news of apricot blossoms makes the rain cold.
Who said poetry to Su Huang,
Wan Li has a wide view to the south.
Xie Qikun's Poems on Poetry
This poem is used to evaluate Chen. Chen was an outstanding poet and a poet at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty. His ci style is unique, but unique, especially close to Su Dongpo. His meaning is superb, his brushwork is ethereal, lively and natural.
The meaning of the poem itself is this: the layman (referring to Chen) wrote the poem, and the ink was not dry, and the apricot flower had already felt the cold of the rain (setting off Chen's bleak situation of avoiding Jingkang's shame). Who said that when poetry came to Su Shi and Huang Tingjian, there was no successor? (referring to Chen's poems, which are also very good) laity found everything in the south. Although I fled Kyoto, I went there with a new look. This is an encouragement to let Chen Jushi not be depressed and have confidence in the future.
This poem is written according to the state affairs. Although it is entitled "On Poetry", it is actually about things. Although the northern song dynasty died, the southern song dynasty still exists, so we can make every effort to start all over again. It shows the author's concern for the national conditions and expectation for the future.
