Song Dynasty: Su Shi
In September, a flower in Chiba suddenly opened. In the rain, it is specially used to buy wine.
This year, I killed time in the deep courtyard, and spent the whole day in the east wind, swinging tea and smoking. But there are moss and grass, catkins and money. West of Wendao City, an ancient temple with a long corridor and a first-class garden. There are national wines and tianxiang dyes, and they are reserved for me.
After the Qingming Festival, there is no place for residual red, and I shed tears before that. It's late in autumn, so give me one or something. High-level talk about chasing short-term scenery, clearly business is too busy. Why don't you keep it and send it next year?

This year, bloom is in full bloom, the east wind blows all day, and there is faint tea smoke in the high walls of the deep courtyard. Only green moss and herbs, catkins and elms. It is said that in the west of the city, the promenade is connected with the ancient temple, and the first one is connected with a famous garden. There are two kinds of precious peonies, "drunken imperial concubine" and "royal yellow robe", which make me nostalgic.
Tomb-Sweeping Day has passed, and the residual flowers have nowhere to go, so they can't help crying. It is already late autumn. Why is this peony still so red? Let's hold a banquet to receive guests, and follow the fleeting time for the time being. This once-in-a-lifetime autumn peony will not be pitied by the cold autumn wind. It's better to keep this wonderful beauty and open it again next spring.

Creation background
In September of the eighth year of Xining, Song Shenzong (1075), Su Shi, who worked in Zhimi Mansion, was moved by the unexpected opening of a peony, so he specially arranged a guest reception, * * * enjoyed the famous flowers and wrote this song "Flowers in the Rain".
Make an appreciative comment
The first film traces the regret of missing flowers in spring. Write three sentences about the small scenes of Yazhai life in spring. In this spring when flowers are in full bloom, I feel lonely when I lock the yard all day and face tea and cigarettes. It is pointed out that "flower time" not only explains the season and climate, but also implies the poet's interest in flower appreciation, but in fact he is faced with "tea and cigarettes" all day, which makes the author disappointed. It turns out that there was a serious drought and locust plague in Michigan this spring and summer. As a county magistrate, Su Shi fasted and was a vegetarian, so he had no time to worship God and pray for rain in Changshan and didn't care about flowers. This is what Su Shi said in this preface, and it is also one of the five congratulations to Changshan. In today's view, Su Shi's practice is ridiculous, but in history, his spirit of caring for the people and their sufferings is commendable. In this beautiful spring, the poet saw "but there are moss and green grass, catkins and money", that's all. The implication is that it is natural to regret that its beauty is "unrewarded". So, is it because Zhucheng is remote in the north, and there is no place to enjoy flowers, or there is no place to enjoy flowers? The following six sentences are all based on the word "Wen Dao", focusing on a good place to enjoy flowers, "Fangchun Peony is in full bloom" and flowers are blooming. It goes without saying that this is very powerful for poets who are immersed in monotonous official life. If the words "long", "ancient", "a" and "Ming" convey the poet's longing for the hot spots of spring outing, then the words "the country is full of wine, the flowers are full of clothes" are translated into sentences in Tang poetry, which exaggerates the color and fragrance of Kao Peony and shows a special liking for "Fangchun Peony is in full bloom". However, after all, the poet missed the ceremony and failed to get what he wanted. His inner melancholy can be imagined.
The next article is about the feeling of enjoying flowers in autumn. Change the sentence of "Qingming has passed", inherit the narrative and write the sadness of the last spring. "Qingming has passed", explaining the season means that the "flower season" has passed. The sad situation of "residual red has no place to live" and "national beauty and fragrance" has disappeared. "Tears for this" is to express grief with heavy and clumsy direct expression. This has a causal relationship with the six sentences described in the previous film Wen Dao, or the internal context before and after is consistent, which makes the feelings expressed by the poet here true and credible. In a sense, the last film is paving the way for the present, aiming at highlighting the value of autumn peony. The sentence "Autumn is late" turns to the current autumn peony: In this late autumn season, why does a peony suddenly open and face me silently, but it is as fragrant as ever? "Autumn night" echoes the above-mentioned "flower time" and "after Qingming Festival", and points out the specific time of "September" in word order. The sentence "What happened to a branch? Give it back to me" is unreasonable and affectionate. Originally, bloom, a peony, as a natural thing, had its own laws or reasons, which had nothing to do with personnel, so the poet made unreasonable demands. This question shows the poet's subtle feelings in twists and turns: this peony seems to know the poet's difficulties of "Fangchun Peony in full bloom" and "no reward", so it was once opened before the arrival of winter, giving him an unexpected surprise. After the poet's psychological shortcomings were filled, he was relieved, and his appreciation and gratitude for A Flower in Chiba were all memorable. Although autumn peony is the focus of the poet's writing, the poet did not describe it. He only used the word "static" to embody the text, and received the artistic effect of "less is more", which is where the poet refined and realized with his pen. The last five sentences closely follow the first three sentences, focusing on the feelings of autumn peony: let's seize this short time for the grand occasion in front of us, because autumn wind will not tolerate peony, and let it keep its gorgeous beauty forever. Peony, you'd better take good care of it and keep it as much as possible next spring. The poet was not intoxicated by the appreciation of autumn peony, but with his extraordinary understanding, he soon realized that the good times did not last long and the nature bound him. The phrase "high-level people talk about chasing short-term scenery, lofty and true" is full of natural philosophy, which shows the extreme cherish of the present beautiful scenery and the worry about "beauty and death" Three sentences of Xue Jie were translated into autumn peony persuasion by the poet. The words are shallow and affectionate, which is unexpected. It shows the poet's sincerity in appreciating famous flowers and his yearning for a better life in the future. Structurally, Chunzhou and Next Year echo the opening words Huajian and Today's Times from a distance, but the latter is realistic, while the former is just a dream.
This word is a bit like writing poems about scenery or things, but it is not. This is a poem that expresses feelings about life and reality. The poet worked hard to run for the people's sufferings, but ignored the matter of a spring flower (although "spending time" is his sincere love), which really showed the poet's valuable spirit of doing his best for the people from one side. But this is not the main ideological meaning of this word. The poet obviously doesn't belong to the first-class talented person and beautiful woman in the general sense, but he has only one reasonable explanation for the sadness of peony bloom's flower fading, that is, the poet loves life and loves life. Because the peony in full bloom in spring is a symbol of the beautiful things in the world, and the peony in autumn can be regarded as accidental compensation in unusual years, the poet pays more attention to it, which is a vivid embodiment of loving life and life. Su Shi's attitude towards life is multifaceted, which mainly includes three levels: embracing ideals and enthusiasm, being enthusiastic about helping the poor and living in peace and contentment, that is, having a positive attitude towards life, which is one level; Pursuing an aesthetic attitude towards life beyond practical utility and striving to be happy is another aspect; Starting from human nature, clinging to real life and showing love for life everywhere is the third level. This third level is also closely related to Su Shi's temperament, frankness and frankness. The poetry works that express this third level are close to real life, although they have elements of scholar-bureaucratization (such as the way people buy wine-"Gao Hui" wrote the first word).
