Portrait of Zhou Mi

Zhou Mi's "Yaohua" is a poem praising Qionghua. The previous film describes Qionghua. The word "Huaishan" is to take over the appearance of the "cartoon" flower and want to point it out. The deep meaning contained in these words is that the Qionghua accompanied the soldiers at the border in the late spring, but the soldiers at the border only knew how to cut off the Qionghua that accompanied them and give it to the emperor in order to gain favor.

Yaohua Zhoumi

The poet sighed, praising the noble character of Qionghua blooming in the dust-filled border, and also lamented the sadness that no one understands Qionghua’s noble aspirations.

Without the edges and corners of the past, as the country's situation became increasingly decadent, the poet expressed a strong sense of irony towards the indifference of the monarch and his ministers.

In the next film, the poet chants history and expresses his feelings, and uses allusions to satirize those in power. The author uses the Song Dynasty border warriors flying cavalry to present Qionghua as the Tang Dynasty flying cavalry to deliver lychees. The poet chants history and satirizes the present, implying that the Song Dynasty is facing a situation similar to the Tang Dynasty. There was a crisis like the Anshi Rebellion, but the ruler was completely unaware of it and only cared about his own enjoyment. His ministers did not know how to offer advice and suggestions, but instead condoned the ruler's behavior.

The two sentences of "Shaohua" use the joy and liveliness of butterflies to show the beauty of Qionghua, and the self-care happiness of butterflies, which secretly satirizes the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty who were lost in playthings and confused. The four lines of "Du Lang" are written by Du Mu to express the emotion of nostalgic for the past and hurting the present. Although Du Mu has passed away, it is difficult to recount the prosperous times of Yangzhou, but Qionghua has experienced the changes in the world, witnessed the rise and fall of history, and can tell the story of the ancient kings who lost their minds while playing with things.

The author uses Qionghua to point out that the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty may be repeating the mistakes of past emperors, showing the poet's sad thoughts. Xicheng Abandoned Garden Zhoumi

This is a novel and unique lyrical poem. In the desolate autumn colors, crickets and cicadas emit a sad cry. This situation and scene aroused the poet's infinite imagination. Reverie makes the poet feel melancholy.

The Abandoned Garden in Xicheng is meticulous

Yue Fei's "The cicadas couldn't stop chirping last night" and Liu Yong's "The cicadas are so sad, facing the Changting Evening" made many people shed tears, and we all lamented that time People's unfair treatment, expressed through poetry, is a heart-wrenching cry to show the world their nobility and nobleness, as well as their depressed and frustrated resentment, so that future generations can sympathize with and pity them.

But Zhou Mi did the opposite, which aroused a lot of interest. Although the white hosta flowers are not as bright as the frost-red leaves in February, they still contain the rich and fragrant fragrance of the flowers. Even if the flowers bloom in an inconspicuous corner, even if no one is attracted to stop and watch, they will still be there. But there was no sigh of pity at all.

This gives people a feeling that they have forgotten all this in their hearts. Whether it is self-admiration or not, it has shown its most beautiful side and expressed its feelings to this strange and unknown world.

The poet turned his pen again and painted a freehand painting. The setting sun shines on the lotus leaves like umbrellas, and the fish roam freely under the protection of the lotus leaves. How many fish were there during this period? The poetic and artistic meaning is contained in it.

The poet couldn't help but exclaimed, "You've got what you want", and advised the owner of the garden not to remove the leaves of the autumn lotus and not to destroy this rare tranquility. It can be seen that the poet was not because of the desolate scenery in the garden. Instead of destroying the state of mind, the poet found another angle of appreciation, and this was obviously a discovery of beauty that is not common in people's eyes.

That kind of tranquility and peace of mind is exactly what the poet is looking for and what the poet hopes to see. Jian Caiwang Zhoumi

In order to show the credibility of this decision, he specially found a craftsman and made him a tin sign with the words "Loyal Minister Jian Cai of the Song Dynasty" written on it. see". He also drilled two pieces of silver into each piece, threaded them through a rope, and tied them to the sign, along with a detailed explanation.

If you find my body in the wilderness, please bury me, and then put this sign in front of my cemetery when you bury it, so that people can worship me. I want to let future generations know that I, Jian Caiwang, did not choose to settle down when the Yuan army arrived, nor did I do the dirty deeds of selling out and seeking glory. I chose a righteous and awe-inspiring path. I hope that my glory can Influence future generations and let them remember me.

From then on, Jian Caiwang took this tablet and the two pieces of silver with him when he traveled every day. He claimed that as long as the Yuan army came to the city, he would throw himself into the lake and never do anything treasonous.

Not only that, he also attached great importance to publicity and took the trouble to tell the people his idea over and over again. After hearing this, people were moved by Jian Caiwang's integrity and said they would help. He was buried.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year of the Bingzi year, the Mongolian soldiers arrived as promised and broke into the city. In the chaos, Jian Caiwang was not seen. Everyone guessed that Jian Caiwang had already died. He threw himself into the river and everyone was very moved.
