Once the ocean is short of water,
Amber forever.
Looking back at the flowers lazily,
Half the sky is cultivated, half the sky is a gentleman.
one's original intention
After experiencing the vastness of the sea, it will not be attracted by other waters. After experiencing the misty sea of Yunshan in Wushan, Yunshan in other places is full of praise. I don't care to see bloom. My heart is half avenue and half your face.

"Friends of Yunxi" says: "When Yuan Zhen first married Jingzhao Webster, his word was brilliant, and he was poor if he failed to reach the official position ... Wei Huicong's death was a mourning for this poem ... Once the sea was difficult for water, it was amber forever. "
The poem turned from Mencius with one heart, "It is difficult for those who watch the sea to swim in it, and it is hard for those who swim in the door of saints to say." I have been to the seaside and seen the sea, but I don't think other water is water; There is no such wonderful cloud except the fairy cloud on Wushan Mountain. The deep and turbulent sea water naturally dwarfs the water in rivers, lakes and seas. Song Yu's "Gao Tang Mi" cloud, the cloud of Wushan is transformed by the goddess, "the sky is above, and the deep is below, which is amazing"; Lu You's "Entering Shu" says: "There are several white clouds on the goddess peak, such as a lotus dance, which can last for a long time but vary." Such clouds will naturally be covered by clouds elsewhere. "Difficult" and "No" are obviously exaggerated, but the images of "sea" and "Wushan" are the best in the water, especially in the clouds, with their own characteristics and the most beautiful. People who have experienced and seen other water and clouds are really ugly. The poet's "seeking things and expressing feelings" is close to Philip Burkart's, with natural amorous feelings. He emphasized the incomparable lyrical object and expressed his infinite admiration and faithful love for his dead wife Wei Huicong, thus showing his heart and comforting his dead wife. Mencius' two words, one is "difficult for water", the other is "difficult for words", the other is "difficult for water" and the other is "not a cloud", are not only innovative, but also good at changing words.
Modern people use these two sentences, which often means that people have a wide range of experience, broaden their horizons and pursue higher goals.
This is a work in memory of his dead wife Wei Cong. The poet praised the love between husband and wife and expressed his loyalty and nostalgia for Wei Cong with the metaphor of "seeking things with expressions" and warning words.
The first two sentences, "Once the sea was difficult for water, it was always amber", were changed from the article "Seeing the sea is difficult for water, swimming in the gate of saints, it is difficult to describe" in Mencius. The comparison between the two places is similar, but Mencius is a simile, and the metaphor of "watching the sea" is obvious. And these two sentences are metaphors, and metaphors are not obvious. The vast sea dwarfs the water in other places. Wushan faces Yunfeng, facing the Yangtze River, and the clouds are steaming. According to Song Yu's "High Order", its cloud is transformed by the goddess, which belongs to the sky and goes down to Yuyuan. It is as lush as a pine tree and as beautiful as a charming girl. So in contrast, the clouds in other places are eclipsed. "Sea" and "Wushan" are the most beautiful images in the world. Poets use them as metaphors. Literally, they say that they have experienced the "sea" and "Wushan", and it is difficult to see the water and clouds elsewhere. In fact, they are used to comparing the feelings between husband and wife like the water in the sea and the clouds in Wushan. Their depth and beauty are unparalleled in the world, so no woman can make herself emotional except her wife.
"Difficult for water" and "not a cloud". Of course, this is Yuan Zhen's preference for his wife, but the feelings of husband and wife like them are really rare. Yuan Zhen has a vivid description in the poem "Regret for the Past". So the third sentence says that he walked through the "flowers" and was too lazy to look, which shows that he has no attachment to women.
The fourth sentence is the reason for "lazy review". Since you are so attached to your dead wife, why do you say "half-life is half-life" here? Throughout his life, Yuan Zhen respected Buddhism and Taoism by "emphasizing carefree articles and Buddhist scriptures" (Bai Juyi praised Yuan Zhen's language in Ten Questions and Answers). In addition, the "cultivation" here can also be understood as paying attention to the cultivation of moral knowledge. However, for Yuan Zhen, respecting Buddhism and Taoism, cultivating self-cultivation and pursuing scholarship are nothing more than an emotional sustenance of his lovelorn grief. The anxiety expressed by "Banyuan Monastery" and "Banyuan Jun" is the same, and it is more meaningful to say that "Banyuan Monastery" is the expression of fickle feelings in the Quhan Poetry of the Qin Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, and it is too ignorant of the poet's difficulties.
Yuan Zhen's quatrains are not only figurative and lyrical, but also wonderful in writing. The first two sentences use extreme metaphors to write nostalgic mourning feelings, such as "sea" and "Wushan", which imply magnificence, the spread of elegy and the trend of rivers flowing. Later, Lazy Review and Half-assed Gentleman suddenly eased the language situation and became a profound lyric. Relax and change to form a ups and downs melody. As far as the artistic conception of the whole poem is concerned, it is romantic but not vulgar, magnificent but not flashy, tragic and not deep, which creates the realm of absolute victory in the quatrains of mourning in the Tang Dynasty. The sentence "I have been across the sea" is especially recited by people.
A butterfly in love with flowers
Author: Su Shi years: Song genre: word category: unknown
Flowers wither and red apricots are small.
Swallows fly, green water people go around.
Small catkins are blowing on the branches
There are many fish in the sea.
Swing inside and outside the wall
The layman in the wall, the beauty in the wall laughs.
The laughter died away, and so did the sound.
Affectionate but heartless chagrin.
