Just keep it fresh and full of Kun.

[Brief analysis]

This is a poem. Mo Mei is the plum blossom of ink painting. Poets praise Mo Mei and Dont Ask For Help, just to leave a fragrance of virtue to the world. In fact, he used Mei as a metaphor to express his life attitude and noble sentiment.

The first two sentences, "The first tree in Xiyan Lake, my home, is full of pale ink marks", which directly describes Mo Mei. In the painting, the plum trees by the pond are in full bloom, and the plum blossoms are stained with a faint ink color. "West Wild Goose Lake" is the allusion of Wang Xizhi's "middle school books in the pool, and the water in the pool is all black". The poet has the same surname as Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in Jin Dynasty, so he says "my home".

Three or four sentences praise Mo Mei's moral integrity. It is painted in light ink, and although its appearance is not exquisite, it has a beautiful, noble and dignified, secluded and detached inner temperament; It doesn't want to attract people, please people and get people's praise with bright colors. It just wants to send out a fragrance and let it stay between heaven and earth. These two sentences are the poet's self-portrayal. Wang Mian grew up in a poor family, herding cattle during the day and studying hard under the ever-burning lamps of Buddhist temples at night. Finally, he learned a lot. He is good at poetry and painting, and he is versatile. However, he tried every time and didn't want to curry favor with the powerful, so he decided to be rich and famous, and lived in seclusion in Jiulishan, East Zhejiang, drawing rice for a living. The phrase "don't be praised by lewdness, just stay dry for nothing" shows the poet's character of disdain, independence and self-appreciation.

This poem, titled Mo Mei, is intended to express one's ambition. The poet organically integrates painting style, poetic style and personality. Literally praising plum blossoms is actually appreciating the virtue of a person standing.

[Mo Mei] Plum blossoms only paint ink. [Pool head] Pool edge. [inkstone pool] A pond for washing brush and inkstone. [Light ink mark] Light black marks refer to the color of flowers. [Qingqi] An aromatic smell. "Qian Kun" refers to heaven and earth.

Poetic:

This picture is a tree next to my home. Every plum blossom has a faint black color, but no bright color. I don't need others to praise its beautiful color, as long as it can leave a faint fragrance between heaven and earth.

A "light" and a "full" show personality.

-Appreciation of Mo Mei

Plum blossoms are in full bloom in the cold season when flowers are dying. She stands proudly in the snow, has the fairy posture of clearing tendons and jade bone, and can predict spring before flowers bloom. The heavier the cold, the more fragrant it is. Therefore, the ancients often regarded her as a symbol of strong character and high integrity. The plum blossom in this lesson refers to the colorless plum blossom drawn only in ink, which looks very elegant and generous. Wang Mian, the author of this poem, was born at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, and was called "the master of painting plum blossoms". This is a poem about plum blossoms drawn by the author himself. The ink plum described in the poem is beautiful, fragrant and unique.

The ancients wrote poems and paid attention to refining words. Plum blossoms in poems (also known as paintings) grow by the pool where the author washes the brush and inkstone every day, and each plum blossom shows faint ink marks. One or two sentences describe the shape of plum blossom by line drawing. The word "light" not only expresses the painting method of plum blossom, but also depicts the simple and elegant style of plum blossom standing proudly in the cold, which is refreshing.

Look at the last sentence again. Why do poets especially like to draw pale ink plum blossoms without color? It turned out that he didn't want those vulgar people to praise the gorgeous colors of plum blossoms, but only wanted to keep the fresh fragrance between heaven and earth. The word "person" not only vividly describes Xiang Mei's fullness and agitation, but also highlights the poet's personality charm, which shines brightly! This unyielding and arrogant integrity is Wang Mian's interest as a poet, and this expression method of loving plum blossom spirit without pursuing vanity and beauty is Wang Mian's ingenious work as a painter.

"Plum blossom painting must have plum blossom spirit, and people are as clear as plum blossoms." That's how people praise Wang Mian. Wang Mian in reality, just like the plum blossom in his works, is unyielding and narcissistic. According to legend, Wang Mian's paintings are particularly good. The local county magistrate and a powerful rich man longed for his name, but several attempts to meet him were rejected. Finally, the county magistrate personally went to the countryside to see him. When he heard the news, he quickly hid and let the county magistrate eat the door. Therefore, the poem Mo Mei not only embodies the style of plum blossom he painted, but also embodies the author's noble taste and indifferent mind to fame and fortune, and clearly shows his firm and pure ethics of not flattering the world.

In this poem, a "light" and a "full" have their own personalities. On the one hand, the richness of Mo Mei and the image of the poet's pride are vividly on the paper; On the other hand, it makes people feel that the fragrance of calligraphy and plum blossoms seems to come to their faces! Let "poetic style", "painting style" and personality be skillfully integrated!
