source
Sima Guang's poem "Early Summer among Guests" in the Northern Song Dynasty;
In April of early summer, the weather was sunny and warm, and it cleared up after a rain. After the rain, the mountains were greener and more pleasant, and the mountains in the south became clearer.
There are no catkins in the wind, only sunflowers open to the sun.
explain
This is a poem that holds things in the air to express one's ambition. "There is no catkin because of the wind, only sunflowers are inclined to the sun" means: I am not catkin dancing with the wind, and I will not go along with it at will; I am like a sunflower in the sun, representing loyalty. The poet expresses his ambition by borrowing things, and his brushwork is euphemistic and implicit.
