Wu Rong
I am tired of cutting clouds and frosting, and Chuncan is alone in the temple.
Plum makeup warms the sun and fans shine.
Moonlight is sprinkled in the air, and dew is more fragrant after condensation.
Born white and quiet, the bridal chamber does not need to reflect red.
There are thousands of flowers in Hou family, but the forest is hard to frost.
Photos should only be taken in the sky and the moon, and the fragrance is mostly among orchids.
Although Rao Baihui grabbed the first move, he still fell behind in the third spring.
I want Huilin to look at it with this threshold.
People in the Tang Dynasty liked red peony and purple peony, but Bai Mudan was not taken seriously. Wu Rong, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote these two poems praising Bai Mudan with unique styles. It was precisely because he rebelled against the customs at that time and sang a hymn for Bai Mudan who was left out in the cold.
The first poem focuses on the beautiful image of Bai Mudan. In the first couplet, the phrase "If you are tired of cutting clouds, first frost is in the middle of spring, alone in the temple" vividly depicts the beauty of Bai Mudan and reveals her spirit and character. "Tired as a cloud" is a metaphor for the delicate luster and patchwork of Bai Mudan petals, while "thin frost" touches the simple beauty of Bai Mudan. The Lonely Hall in Spring shows Bai Mudan's humility and detachment. Peony is known as a national beauty. If it opens in early spring, it will greatly reduce the color of the group. But she does not admire vanity, does not strive for fame and fortune, and is willing to show her face and open her heart in the late spring. In the couplet, the phrase "Plum makeup warms the sun, and ten thousand fans shine" is used to render the beauty of Bai Mudan in thick ink. The word "plum makeup" is a metaphor for the bright and elegant colors of Bai Mudan decorated with plum blossoms. The word "Feifei" is the bustling appearance of the cloud, which means that there are many flowers here. Especially after Feifei, the word "warm" is written, which points out a lush and prosperous scene. Although Bai Mudan has a solid color of plum blossom, it is not as cold as plum blossom, giving people a warm feeling. The word "ten thousand fans shake the wind" describes the dynamics of flowers. Wan Fan is a round white silk fan. A gust of wind blows, and the flower shadow shakes, just like a round fan gently shaking in the hands of a beauty. The word "sparkling" gives people the feeling of turning and shining. The necklace couplet "Moonlight is sprinkled in the air, and dew is more fragrant after condensation" is a description of Bai Mudan at night. In the moonlight, Bai Mudan is bright, and the moonlight is hard to distinguish. Only from the shadows on the ground can we feel the existence of flowers slightly. The night deepened and the dew stagnated. At this time, the fragrance of flowers is more fragrant and attractive. How beautiful the peonies are on a moonlit night! The couplet "Nature is white and quiet, why should crimson be reflected in the bridal chamber" means that Bai Mudan is born white and will never chase fashionable red peony to set off luxurious scenes for others. Bai Mudan's noble qualities are revealed.
The second point is the noble quality of Bai Mudan. In the first couplet, the phrase "Hou Jia's flowers bloom a thousand times, but it is difficult to frost the beauty of the forest" goes against the times and sets up a lofty image. In the Tang Dynasty, red peony and purple peony were more precious than Bai Mudan. In Tang poetry, Bai Mudan is often used as a metaphor for frustrated people. Pei Kun, a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, once complained that his friends didn't reuse the poem "No jade plate condenses dew, and no one gets up to look at the moon". At the same time, Bai Juyi, a famous poet, used Bai Mudan to express his misfortune, saying, "White flowers talk coldly about being unloved, but they occupy the name of peony. It should be Bai Zanshan of the East Palace, known as the official of the court. " In Wu Rong's eyes, Bai Mudan's image is the opposite of that of his predecessor. The poet writes that he is "cold and unloved" not from the angle of lamentation, but from the tone of praise. In the poem, it is said in a comparative tone that although the red peony surrounded by nobles is enchanting and beautiful, it is still not as good as Bai Mudan in the frost forest. This poem embodies the poet's spiritual glory of sticking to integrity and not admiring dignitaries as their agents. The sentence "The shadow should only be in the sky and the moon, and the fragrance is in the orchid" further expresses Bai Mudan's sublimity from the perspective of color and fragrance. The beauty of flowers is nothing more than a fragrance and a color. In the poet's view, the color and fragrance of Bai Mudan are extraordinary. Its bright beauty can only be compared with the blue sky and bright moon, and its rich fragrance can only be equally divided with the orchids in the garden, and it is known as a gentleman among flowers. "Rao Baihui grabbed the first move, but he still fell behind in the third spring." Two sentences in the Necklace Union wrote Bai Mudan's humble virtue and the sentiment of sticking to honesty. At this point, a personalized peony image has been fully displayed. It is the poet's guess that "I want Huilin to look at it with this threshold." "Huilin" should be a name, unknown. Judging from the whole poem, Huilin may be the owner of this temple. The poet looked at Bai Mudan from the perspective of a benevolent gentleman, and then wondered what the monks of this flower would think if they stood on the railing here. -will you look at this flower with the eyes of secular people? A question at the end is thought-provoking.
In a word, these two poems about Bai Mudan are novel in conception, beautiful in artistic conception and pleasing to the eye.
