"Plum Blossom" is a seven-character quatrain written by Qiu Jin, a poet of the Qing Dynasty. The original text of the poem Plum Blossom is as follows:
1: Originally the first branch of Yaotai, it was relegated to the earthly world. Fangzi. How can I not meet Lin Hejing? Wandering around the world and even the water.
Two: Aunt Tao and Xingmei marry the east wind, and they are caged with jade and beads at dawn. Poor and haggard Luo Fu Ke, independent in the frost and rain.
Three: The whole world is talking about the beauty of red and purple, how can it be appropriate to wear a plain bush and a farmer's sleeves? No one cares about the end of the world, haggard and proud of the frost and snow.
Four: If you try to write the God of Wind with chalk, the chivalrous bones will not be realistic. I haven't seen my master come under the moon, but how can I show up as a girl?
Five: It is difficult to secure a branch with a strong step, and it is also difficult for the Song Dynasty Prime Minister to see him strictly. I feel sad that the night is windy and cold, who can lean against the green railing?
Six: The East Pavilion was a popular place for old travellers, so don’t talk about the blessings of Qingfu. Self-pity is hard to reconcile with vulgarity, and you can't be flattered everywhere.
Seven: Working hard in the north of the Yangtze River and recalling the south of the Yangtze River, the origin of indifference comes from sharing one's own joy. Reciting a sentence about hundreds of flowers, and fighting against the frost and snow.
Eight: Thinking back on He Xun, who was so bold and heroic, and folded his card every time he saw flowers. There are thousands of dazzling poems left, and the brocade letter is tied with Bisi sash.
Nine: Once we meet, we miss each other again, the most affectionate place is the most infatuated. There are three thousand trees in the forest of Gushan. This branch can withstand the frost.
Ten: The ice posture is not afraid of the invasion of snow and frost, but I am ashamed to be close to Qionglou and Gucen. The standard reason is that it is good to be independent, but are you willing to teach wealth and honor to lose your original intention? Originally the first branch of Yaotai, it was relegated to the earthly world with a beautiful appearance. How not to meet Lin Hejing? Wandering to the end of the world, more to the end of the water.
Content Appreciation:
Bingzi is not afraid of snow and frost, but is ashamed to be close to Qionglou and Gucen. The reason for the standard is that it is good to be independent and willing to teach wealth and honor to lose one's original intention? This poem praises Mei's cold and noble qualities. It is the expression of the author's own emotions!
The first sentence says that plum blossoms are cold-resistant, not afraid of snow and frost, and have graceful posture. The second sentence says that I am willing to be lonely and do not rely on the right to return. I am ashamed to rely on Qionglou and feel happy to rely on Gucen. The three sentences and four sentences are about being unwilling to give up one's dignity and independence for the sake of wealth and wealth, and Li Bai: "I am not willing to bend my eyebrows and bend my waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy. It's the same thing but the same!"
The whole poem has sonorous sentences and straightforward praise, clearly expressing the poet's love for plum blossoms. At the same time, it is also the externalization of the author’s own personality! I want to be like plum blossoms, unyielding, noble, and cold!
