Lotus leaves are destroyed, and leaves and roots like umbrellas are no longer as slender as in summer; The chrysanthemums have withered, but the tall and straight chrysanthemum branches in Ao Shuang are still full of vitality in the cold wind. Don't think that the good scenery of a year will be swept away. You must remember that the most beautiful scenery is in the orange-green season in early winter!

Make an appreciative comment
This poem was written by the poet to his good friend Liu Jingwen (named Ji Sun). The first two sentences of the poem describe the scenery, and grasp the "lotus flower exhausted" and "chrysanthemum remnant" to describe the bleak scene in late autumn and early winter. There is a sharp contrast between "nothing" and "still there", which highlights the image of Chrysanthemum Ao Shuang fighting the cold. The last two sentences discuss the scenery and reveal the purpose of giving poems. It shows that although the winter scenery is bleak and cold, it also has fruitful and mature harvest, but it is incomparable in other seasons. The poet wrote this to describe a person's prime of life. Although youth has passed, it is also the golden stage of maturity and great achievements in life. Encourage friends to cherish this wonderful time, be optimistic and make unremitting efforts, and never be depressed and laugh at yourself.
Su Shi's To Liu Jingwen was written in the fifth year of Yuanyou (1090), and Su Shi was in Hangzhou. "Tiaoxi Fishing Hidden from Conghua" says that this poem sings about the scenery in early winter, "The song is wonderful." Although this poem is written for, it is about the scenery in early winter, and there is no mention of Liu's moral articles. This doesn't seem to be the proper meaning in the title, but in fact, the author's cleverness lies in the combination of praise for Liu's moral integrity in describing the early winter scenery without trace. Because in the author's opinion, the most beautiful scenery in a year is the orange-green early winter scenery. Citrus, like pine and cypress, can best represent people's noble character and loyal moral integrity.
When the ancients wrote about autumn scenery, the weather was mostly gloomy and permeated with the feeling of sad autumn. But there is an abnormal situation here, which writes a rich scene of late autumn, reveals vitality and gives people a feeling of high spirits. Therefore, Hu Zai, a poet in the Song Dynasty, compared it with Han Yu's poem "Early Spring is Zhang Eighteen Members of the Ministry of Water Affairs", saying that "the two poems are different in terms of the same poetry, and the songs are all wonderful" ("Tiaoxi Fishing in Hidden Conghua").
Liu Jingwen
Liu, Zi. In the Northern Song Dynasty, both Zhejiang and Zhejiang military forces had overseers. Su Shi called him a "generous man".
His father, Liu Jie, was a general in the Northern Song Dynasty, so he also developed his bold and unconstrained character.
Writing background
This poem was written in the early winter of Yuan You's fifth year (1090). At that time, Su Shi was working in Hangzhou, and Liu Ye, who was also the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, was in Hangzhou. The two have a close relationship and have a deep deal. On the one hand, the poet regarded Liu Jingwen as a national scholar and recommended himself by begging for Liu Ji's grandson; On the other hand, add this poem to encourage you. (When Su Shi wrote this poem, Liu was 58 years old, and his illness was inevitable. )
taste
Lotus and chrysanthemum are the objects of chanting by poets of past dynasties, which often leave a good impression on people, but why does this poem describe the images of lotus and chrysanthemum in a highly general way from the beginning, showing a picture of late autumn? This is entirely to emphasize and highlight the best scenes of the year: orange and green. Although orange and orange are neck and neck, in fact, people in the city are inclined to orange, because orange symbolizes many virtues, so Qu Yuan wrote Ode to Orange to praise orange, mainly praising orange's independence, fine white color, selflessness and superiority to Boyi. This is the intention of the poem's conclusion, which describes the scenery, praises things and people in one furnace, and implicitly praises Liu Jingwen's character and disposition.
