Meng Haoran in Xun Mei's Poetry

Meng Haoran stepped on the snow in Xun Mei.

Yu Qian [Ming Dynasty]

The road is full of snow and snow, and the staff are looking for a restaurant.

The western hills of Wan Li are the same color, and plum blossoms don't know where to go.

Meng Haoran stepping on the snow in Xun Mei:

Meng Haoran lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain in his early years and swam at the age of 40.

An Shiying, a scholar, was recruited by Zhang Jiuling as his chief of staff and soon returned to his hometown. He has traveled to Jianghuai, wuyue and other places.

Poetry and Wang Wei

Meng Haoran wrote several poems about flowers in Yongmei when he lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain, but he himself was very interested in these poems about Yongmei.

Not satisfied. Because Meng Haoran felt that these poems did not write the character of plum blossom, nor did they write the unique spirit of plum blossom.

Festival, he thought: I still have to go to the mountains to see the real wintersweet and taste the character of wintersweet before I can start writing.

The quality of wintersweet.

But it is not so easy to see Chimonanthus praecox, because Chimonanthus praecox often blooms in the snow and mostly in remote places.

If you want to appreciate wintersweet, you have to suffer.

Meng Haoran is not afraid of suffering. He is bent on going to the mountains to see wintersweet blooming in the snow.

Looking forward to it, I finally hope it snows in Lumen Mountain. Meng Haoran was so happy that he got on his old donkey.

Take some hard buns to Suling Mountain. It's really cold on the mountain. The wind blows a person's face like a small knife, and it is ice.

Zhu Ling is like a ghost with fangs. A cold wind blew and the icicles cracked. donkey

Where will the hoof slip when it steps on the ice slope?

Meng Haoran didn't care about that, but kept urging the old donkey to climb the mountain. The old donkey can't tell how bitter it is. Let's go

Take two steps back and climb to the top of the mountain slowly.

But it was really strange that day. Meng Haoran came to the top of the mountain and didn't see the open plum blossoms except

It's so snowy that you can't even see a ghost.

Meng Haoran was frozen stiff and covered with layers of snowflakes, but he kept kicking the old donkey.

Climb your stomach to another ridge. The old donkey was so tired that he trembled all over, and he was hung with ice, so he could only be wronged.

Make some phone calls. After running for a whole afternoon, Meng Haoran didn't see a plum blossom.

He was very hungry, so he sat at the foot of the leeward slope and gnawed at the cold wowotou. The old donkey is tired, too

In anger, Meng Haoran threw it a handful of hay, and the old donkey chewed weakly with tears in his eyes.

Meng Haoran ate a piece of dry food and chewed a piece of ice, and stood up with difficulty. He saw the old donkey lying down and didn't want to move.

He patted the donkey on the back and said, "Look at me, old chap. I am so old and sick, I can still. "

How many times do you come out? How many winters will it take? Even if you do me a favor, let me meet wintersweet! "

The old donkey seemed to understand Meng Haoran's words, so he got up and climbed another hill.

After climbing this mountain, it's really dark.

Meng Haoran saw that it was getting late and had to find a place to spend the night. When he saw a small temple on the hill, he hurried to get old.

The donkey went to the temple. When approaching the temple, the old donkey slipped to the ground and gave Meng Haoran a bad fall.

Get out.

This fall made Meng Haoran grin and didn't get up for a long time.

In fact, at this time, the old monk in the temple has seen a man coming down from the mountain in the snow. He was surprised that it was still so cold.

Someone was wandering in the mountains, and the old monk kept looking at the people who came. When people approached, he saw that it was an old man.

The traveler and a thin donkey. But when Meng Haoran came to the front of the temple, the old monk didn't see anyone coming in, only heard a sound.

Screaming, the old monk hurried out to have a look. Wow, Meng Haoran was lying in the snow.

The old monk quickly picked Meng Haoran up and asked him, "What are you doing in the mountains?"

Meng Haoran gritted his teeth and said, "Look, look at wintersweet. I want to see wintersweet in the snow. "

Hearing Meng Haoran's words, the old monk pointed to the temple gate and said, "It's worth dying to see a wintersweet."

Going? There is a red plum there. Take a good look if you want to see it! "

Meng Haoran looked at the trend. Really, there is a red wintersweet blossom, which is blooming in the snow beside the temple.

Hongmei, don't mention how beautiful it is!

Meng Haoran immediately forgot the pain, hunger and cold. He rushed to the front of Hongmei and watched it again.

Look, smell, smell.

On the second and third day, Meng Haoran lived in a temple and watched red berries every day.

"It's so beautiful, it's really a creature in the snow!" Meng Haoran repeatedly praised.

From then on, as long as it snows, people will see an old man riding a thin donkey, crooked

People say they will say, "Look, that strange old man went to see plum blossoms again!" " "
