2. Appreciation of Peony
This poem is a tribute to peony, and its praise method is to restrain him and praise him. The poet does not describe the beauty of peony from the front, but writes peony from the side. At the beginning of the poem, comment on peony and lotus first. Peony and lotus are very popular flowers. The poet, on the other hand, praised the peony with "peony without demon" and "pure and affectionate lotus" to set off its high standard and beautiful charm.
Liu Yuxi also described peony with subjective feelings, but the style was not high. "Lotus" is a flower that often appears lofty and clean in poetry, but Liu Yuxi probably said that she is pure and heartless because she is graceful in the pool and can only watch from a distance but not play near. This implies that peony has four characteristics: demon, purity, personality and affection, which can be described as the most beautiful flower.
