Mo mei

The first tree in my Xiyan Lake is light ink.
Don't praise the good color, as long as it is clear and full of dried Kun.

There is a plum tree in Xiyan Lake near my home. Plum blossoms in full bloom seem to be stained with a touch of ink.
It doesn't need others to praise how beautiful the color is, just need to diffuse the fragrance between heaven and earth.

Creative background:
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 there was a plum blossom house in Jiulishan, Huiji, claiming to be the owner of the plum blossom house.
This poem is written here. 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.
Appreciate:
Mo Mei is a poem by Wang Mian, a poet and painter in Yuan Dynasty, dedicated to the plum blossoms he painted. The ink plum described in the poem is beautiful, fragrant and unique. This poem not only reflects the style of plum blossoms he painted.
It also reflects the author's noble taste and indifferent mind to fame and fortune, and clearly shows his firm and pure ethics of not flattering the world. One or two sentences are exquisitely conceived, combining Mo Mei and Chi Bian Mei in the painting.
The faint ink halo of plums in the painting seems to be caused by the plum trees in the pond absorbing the ink color in the water. Three or four sentences is a slap in the face, praising Mo Mei for being fresh and elegant, although there is no eye-catching color, in order to express her independent personality ideal that she is unwilling to be kitsch.
The whole poem is based on painting, which is a masterpiece of poetry with profound meaning and thought-provoking. This is a poem. Poets praise Mo Mei and Dont Ask For Help, just to leave a fragrance of virtue to the world.
The first two sentences directly describe Mo Mei. In the painting, the plum trees by the pond are in full bloom, and the plum blossoms are stained with a faint ink color. "West Wild Goose Lake" is the allusion of Wang Xizhi's "middle school books in the pool, and the water in the pool is all black".
Three or four sentences praise Mo Mei's moral integrity. This is painted in light ink. Although its appearance is not delicate, it has an inner temperament of refined, noble and dignified, secluded and detached.
It doesn't want to attract people, please people and get people's praise with bright colors. It just wants to send out a fragrance and let it stay between heaven and earth. These two sentences are the poet's self-portrayal.
The author introduces:
Wang Mian (1287 ~ 1359), a native of Qiaofeng, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, was a famous painter, poet and seal engraver in Yuan Dynasty. He was born in poverty, herded cattle for others in his childhood, and became a success by self-study.
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 seals with flower milk stone, and the seal cutting technique is wonderful. There is a biography of Ming history.
