There are some plums in the corner, and cold ling opens them alone.
I knew from a distance that it wasn't snow, because there was a smell coming.
Mei, one of the "four gentlemen" in ancient times. "Four Gentlemen" is an image with special spiritual symbol extracted by ancient literati from the combination of things and environment.
When the ancients borrowed these images, they often had a pattern: bamboo mostly painted bones, and the realm was all in it. Some words were mixed with mottled bamboo, so-called freehand brushwork in the landscape. Loose, associated with painting, painting posture and loose posture; If you write a poem about God, you will be relaxed in your imagination. You draw a poem to express your spirit, and you express your ambition through things. Orchids, plants, potted plants, study flying incense, delicate fragrance and elegant, indifferent and elegant. Plums, like pine, can draw poems. The difference is that pine is vivid with paintings, while plum is vivid with poems. Besides, Mei seems to have all the characteristics of the other three "gentlemen": as thin as a bamboo pole, as colorful as pine and cypress, and as fragrant as blue. Therefore, the artistic conception expressed by Jiumei in the poem "Four Gentlemen" is particularly rich. In Wang Anshi's Plum Blossom, a few strokes outline several plum blossoms, and all these characteristics are written out. In the image, Song often sings a monologue, and the environment is only used as a foil, mainly to see the loose posture. Mei is different from Mei, and Mei is often combined with the environment. Of course, in ink painting, the environment can be blank, but this is the environment, but it is hazy.
The word "jiao" in Plum Blossom points out the environment and is extremely vivid and artistic. The corner is particularly deserted, and it seems that the space is very narrow. In fact, the author takes the corner as the center and develops an infinite space. It was empty outside the corner, and he thought of it when he saw the corner. The combination of "several branches" and "horns" is very natural, showing the thinness of Mei, and naturally thinking of the gesture of "several branches of Mei". The word "cold ling" plays up a special atmosphere. The cold wind did not blur the imaginary line of sight, but it drove away the ambiguity in imagination and brought a pool of clear water in winter. Therefore, whether it is Qumei or Zhimei, readers will always feel that there are several clear pictures of formed plums in their minds. The word "independence" skillfully separates Mei's small world from the outside world, just like a sword splitting a watershed. Mei's outstanding "horizontal" (plum branches don't "stand"), and the image of Mei's pure and elegant floated away. "Far knowledge is not snow", snowflake and plum blossom, a pair of "golden partners" in nature, set each other off and shine, are similar and integrated. The author clearly "sees", "is not" and "knows from a distance". Why? Come for Dimfragrance. Dimfragrance is colorless, but it gives the picture a hazy color. Clear and hazy crisscross, just like a flickering hole in the snow, causing swaying movement. It is also like a wisp of smoke floating in the waves, blocking the plum branches. The author spread the artistic conception layer by layer with sporadic pen and ink, and mentioned the infinite virtual scene in a few words, and the spirit of Mei also showed incisively and vividly. The author's desire also fascinates readers.
