What poem is this? It's hard to understand. I don't know what it means.

Sunflower, panicum miliaceum, is named Sunflower because its stem is erect and tall, with one stem and one flower leaning towards light. Poets of past dynasties wrote relatively few poems about sunflowers, and each poem focused on the idea of loyalty to the monarch: "bandits regard flowers as beauty and their hearts as the sun." Lonely and loyal, if there is constant virtue. "Li Zan's four poems are very representative. Compared with Mei Julanju, who pursues the beauty of personality as a metaphor, the enthusiasm of literati chanting sunflower is much colder. Here, we can also reveal a message: loyalty to the emperor is ultimately insincere, either out of courtesy, out of fear, or because of following the crowd, or because of inviting pets. Because this is incompatible with the independence of personality.

Sima Guang's Early Summer among Guests is a poem about flowers and ambition, and it is about character. "April is sunny and rainy, and Nanshan is bright." In late spring and April, it was rainy and sunny. Under the sunshine, the early summer scenery of Nanshan in front of the door is clearly visible. "There are no catkins born by the wind, but sunflowers are biased towards the sun." Talking about Xie An and his sons and nephews' snow couplets in the Eastern Jin Dynasty because of the wind and catkins. My niece Xie Daowen said in a couplet: "If catkins don't rise because of the wind", which was praised by people and called "singing catkins" by the world. "Sunflowers Tilt to the Sun", Chen Si's "Biography of Wang Zhi" published: "If the sunflower leaves, the sun will not shine, but it will be sincere." Du Fu also wrote a poem, "Sunflowers are inclined to the sun, and physical properties are hard to take away." . These two poems of Sima Guang are compared to catkin and sunflower, one is floating in the wind, the other is faithful, the other is contemptible and noble, and the difference between heaven and earth is clear.

Catkin dancing in the wind has always been a symbol of madness and lightness. In Du Fu's poem, he said, "Crazy catkins dance with the wind, and fine peach blossoms chase the water." Yan even pointed out that human feelings are fickle: "Human feelings are like flying catkins, and melodious will follow." Compared with catkins, sunflowers are loyal. Song Dynasty poet Cai's Sunflower said, "It's a pity that you don't move because of the sunset." Flowers are like heartless things, but they are loyal. William Wang's poem said: "Pity canal is a heartless thing, but you still have to fall in love with the sun." Sometimes, flowers don't fall in love and the sunshine is not enough. Liu Changqing's Ode to Sunflowers in the Shade of the Wall says: "There is always no sun here, and Qingqing is alone in the shade. The sun is not as good as it. " It's so considerate to defend the faithful sunflower.

Sima Guang loves scenery, and speaks freely about raising catkin sunflower and personal character.
