Poetry appreciation
"After all, the scenery of the West Lake is different from that at four o'clock in June." The first sentence seems abrupt, but it is actually an atmosphere. Although the reader has not yet appreciated the beauty of the West Lake from the poem, he can already feel it from the amazing tone of the poet. This sentence seems to be blurted out, which is the most intuitive feeling after shock and ecstasy, thus strengthening the beauty of the West Lake. Sure enough, "the lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely blue, and the lotus flowers in the sun are of different colors." The poet used "blue" and "red" to highlight the strong visual impact of lotus leaves and lotus flowers. The lotus leaf is boundless as if connected with the sky, and the weather is magnificent, which not only depicts the infinity of the lotus leaf, but also renders the grandeur of heaven and earth, and has an extremely rich sense of spatial modeling. "Reflecting the sun" and "Lotus" set each other off to make the whole picture beautiful and vivid. The whole poem is easy to understand, and the outstanding thing is to write feelings first, and then write the real situation, thus creating an effect of being empty first and then real. After reading it, you can really feel the beauty of the West Lake in June, "the four seasons are different".
The poet stopped at the West Lake in June to bid farewell to his friend Lin Zifang, and the whole poem expressed his deep affection for his friends by praising the beauty of the West Lake to the extreme. The poet began by saying that the scenery of the West Lake in June is different from that of the four seasons. These two simple poems show that the scenery of the West Lake in June is different from other seasons, which is enough to make people want to stay. Then, the poet painted a beautiful picture of red and green for the reader with sentences full of strong color contrast: the green lotus leaves rushed to the horizon, making people feel as if they were in endless green; And the beautiful lotus, in the sun, is more gorgeous. This transformation in the sketch, although ups and downs, has no sense of suddenness. The seemingly dull pen and ink presents an evocative artistic situation for readers.
Metaphorical meaning
The word "after all" in this poem shows Yang Wanli's eagerness. "West Lake" refers to Lin 'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty where the West Lake is located. "Mid-June" refers to the imperial court. The second sentence in the poem, "the scenery is different from the four seasons", means that serving in the imperial court is different from serving in other places. "Heaven" and "Sun" both refer to the emperor. "Pick up" means "next to". "Ying" set out, in the sun. "Lotus leaf" and "lotus flower" both refer to Linzifang. "Infinite blue" and "different red" mean a bright future.
The metaphorical meaning of the whole poem is:
After all, it is inside the imperial court, which is different from the officialdom outside. Only by being around the emperor can we achieve something and have a bright future.
But Lin Zifang didn't understand. He shouted "Good Poetry" and went to Fuzhou. Since then, Lin Zifang has been submerged in the long river of history.
Creative background:
After Lin Zifang was promoted to Jinshi, he served as the secretary of Zhige (a civil servant responsible for drafting letters for the emperor, which can be said to be the secretary of the emperor). Yang Wanli, then the subordinate supervisor of the secretary and the assistant of the prince, was Lin Zifang's superior and good friend. They often get together to talk about the idea of strengthening the country and resisting gold, and also discuss poetry and literature together. They share the same interests and regard each other as bosom friends.
Later, Lin Zifang was transferred from the emperor's side to work in Fuzhou, and the position was well known. Lin Zifang is very happy and thinks that she is a career promotion. Yang Wanli doesn't think so. When sending Lin Zifang to Fuzhou, he wrote this poem to persuade Lin Zifang not to go to Fuzhou.
