Appreciation: Zhao Xilu's "The Rhyme of Plum Blossoms on the Bingya Cliff of Cixiao" "If the peonies bloom earlier, who will watch the plum blossoms in the wind and snow?" There are three or four sentences in the poem that have a sudden thought: If the peonies bloom earlier than the plum blossoms, who will walk in the wind and snow to take care of the plum blossoms? However, after all, peonies cannot bloom. Before the plum blossoms, the poet wants to flourish but first suppresses them. Only the ice-crystal plum blossoms can bloom in the cold wind and snow and be favored by people.

Careful analysis: The last sentence is a satire on the pursuit of wealth. People who are plum blossoms definitely do not avoid wind and snow. An ancient saying goes: "Plum blossoms avoid new peaches and plums on their own, not because of the wind blowing from a high building." As a plum blossom, it is better to avoid peonies.
