The first tree in my home, West Wild Goose Lake, is full of flowers and light ink marks.
Don't boast about the good color, just let the air be full of dried Kun.
Interpretation of vernacular:
There is a plum tree in the West Wild Goose Lake near my home, and the blooming plum blossoms are all covered with faint ink marks.
Don't need others to praise its beautiful color, just need the fragrance of plum blossoms to diffuse between heaven and earth.
Extended data writing background:
Seven-character quatrains written by Wang Mian, a poet in Yuan Dynasty. The first two sentences of this poem directly describe Mo Mei, while the last two sentences praise Mo Mei's virtuous character and Dont Ask For Help's boasting. They just want to leave a fragrance of virtue to the world, which is actually a metaphor for themselves.
Express your attitude towards life and don't flatter the noble sentiments of the secular. The whole poem is exquisitely conceived, light and elegant, straight and melodious, full of fresh and elegant atmosphere.
This poem was written in about nine to ten years from Yuan Shundi to Zheng Zheng (1349- 1350). Wang Mian returned to Shaoxing after a long-distance roaming, and bought land to build a house in Jiulishan, Huiji, and named it Meihua House, since he was the owner of Meihua House.
This poem was written in the plum blossom house. At this time, on the eve of the peasant uprising at the end of Yuan Dynasty, facing the insoluble contradictions in real life, the author wrote this poem emotionally.
In this poem, a "light" and a "full" have their own personalities. On the one hand, the richness of Mo Mei and the image of the poet's pride are vividly on the paper; On the other hand, it makes people feel that the fragrance of calligraphy and plum blossoms seems to come to their faces.
Thus, the "poetic style", "painting style" and personality are skillfully integrated together, with realm, boldness, indifference and straightforward music, which is unique in Yuan poetry.
Wang Mian is aloof and disdainful of powerful people. His poems sympathize with people's sufferings, condemn powerful people, despise fame and fortune, and describe pastoral seclusion. Zhu Zhai Ji consists of three volumes and two sequels.
I love plum blossoms all my life, planting plum blossoms and Yongmei, and attacking and painting plum blossoms. The painted plum blossoms are dense, full of business, vigorous and powerful, which has a great influence on future generations. The paintings that have been handed down in the world include Early Morning Picture of Nanzhiquan, Meme Picture, Three Gentlemen Picture and so on. Can manage printing, make printing with flower milk stone, and seal cutting is wonderful. There is a biography of Ming history.
Wang Mian lives in seclusion in Shuinan Village, North Jiulishan, Qiao Feng Town, Zhuji, a scenic hometown. There are three families in the village, and life is difficult all the year round. A stream flows like a belt, and a beautiful mountain stands behind the house. The mountains are covered with bamboo and trees.
The mountains and rivers set each other off, with beautiful scenery and quiet environment. As he said in his poem, "There is a river in the green hills, and the window near the river is quiet." He is here to "plant three acres of beans, millet times, half of plum trees, peaches and apricots, and hundreds of leeks in the taro area; Diversion is a pool, and more than a thousand kinds of fish are planted (Volume 10 of the Garden of Zhi Hou).
Wang Mian spent most of his life in such a picturesque mountain village. The simple life and quiet landscape gave birth to his character of loving life and working people, and endowed his poetry and painting creation with a strong flavor of life.
