Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote a famous sentence, "Pick chrysanthemums under the east fence and see Nanshan leisurely." Everyone knows his love for chrysanthemums, and chrysanthemums have gradually become a symbol of otherworldly hermits. There are many scholars who love chrysanthemums in the past dynasties, and those who sing chrysanthemums also have excellent works. Chrysanthemum is a relatively lyrical song created by Yuan Zhen, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty.
The word "around" in the first sentence means that there are many kinds of chrysanthemums outside the house, giving people a feeling of elegant environment, such as Tao Yuanming's home. The poet compares the place where chrysanthemums are planted to a Potter, which shows that there are many autumn chrysanthemums and the flowers are in full bloom. So many beautiful chrysanthemums make people feel happy.
The second sentence, "The more you surround, the more inclined you are", shows the poet's concentration on flowers. The word "around" in the second sentence shows the poet's strong interest in enjoying chrysanthemums. He doesn't stay in Dongli, but "walks around the fence" until I don't know which day will come, showing the poet's leisurely mood when enjoying chrysanthemums. The poet was deeply attracted by chrysanthemums, and his love for chrysanthemums seemed to even exceed that of Mr. "All around" and "More and more oblique" truly show the poet's fascination with chrysanthemum appreciation and sincere love for chrysanthemum, and the lines are full of joy. The first two short fourteen words are full of scenery, affection and association, which vividly outlines a picture of a poet strolling among chrysanthemums in autumn night, admiring flowers and reciting poems without returning home.
Three or four sentences, "It's not that chrysanthemums are preferred among flowers, but that this flower has no flowers", point out the reasons why poets like chrysanthemums. These two sentences turn sharply in negative sentences, pointing out that they don't like chrysanthemums for no reason. In late autumn, all the flowers wither, and only chrysanthemums can survive without withering. Their independent support adds abundant vitality to the world. The poet loves life and nature. The chrysanthemums in full bloom at the end of these four seasons make him forget his feelings and can't give up his love. The poet wrote his own unique reasons for loving chrysanthemums from the perspective of the latest withering of chrysanthemums. It also symbolizes the praise of chrysanthemum's strong character of withering after severe cold. China's classical poems often express his feelings with things, such as Qu Yuan's Ode to an Orange and Chen Ziang's Feeling, all of which are examples. Yuan Zhen's poem "Chrysanthemum" eulogizes the noble integrity and strong character of chrysanthemum, and it is also this writing technique with profound implications.
This seven-character quatrain, although written on the common theme of chanting chrysanthemums, is unique and unique with its pen. The reason why poets love chrysanthemums alone is novel and natural, unconventional and thought-provoking. The poet did not write the chrysanthemum on the front, but set off its excellent character from the side through his love for the chrysanthemum, which was wonderful and interesting. Poetry adopts the artistic conception in Tao poetry, and also sings in elegant and simple language, which is different from Tao Gong's full use of images. Instead, after describing the details, he tells the reasons for loving chrysanthemum without saying a word, leaving room for imagination to chew and enhancing its artistic appeal.
Brief introduction of the author
Yuan Zhen (779-83 1), born in Luoyang, the capital of Henan province (now Luoyang, Henan province), was a famous poet and writer in the Tang Dynasty. His father was Yuan Kuan, his mother was Zheng, a descendant of Tuoba, the imperial clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the fourteenth grandson of Tuoba Shiyi, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Yuan Zhen was brilliant, resourceful and famous at a young age. He shared the same topic with Bai Juyi and became a lifelong poet friend. Both of them advocated the New Yuefu Movement, which was called "Bai Yuan" by the world, and their poem title was "Yuanhe Style". However, Yuan Zhen was not proud in politics. Although he was once a prime minister, he was exiled to other places under Li's plan. He became an official in Wuchang in his later years. After his death, he was posthumously awarded as the right servant of Shangshu.
In Yuan Zhen's creation, poetry is the greatest achievement. His poems are shallow and sad, extremely touching and touching. His Yuefu poems are mostly influenced by Zhang Ji and Wang Jian, and his "new topic Yuefu" is directly attributed to Li Shen. His representative works include Biography of Yingying, Chrysanthemum, Five Poems of Leaving Thoughts and Three Poems of Mourning for the Past. There are more than 830 existing poems, including poems, imperial edicts, admonitions, etc. 100 volumes, and the collection of Changqing in Yuanshi County is retained.
