Liu Yanshi
The glazed building in front of the palace has been ten years.
The night is long, the moon is bright and the flames are burning.
In the poet's poems, poems about flowers occupy a certain proportion, which shows the poet's love for flowers. Papaya flower, sea pomegranate flower, cherry blossom, bamboo, plum blossom and so on all entered the author's poem. This little poem is the author's flower appreciation poem. Although this poem is short, it is very interesting.
This flower-loving poet has left his footprints not only in urban areas, villages and courtyards, but also in temples in the mountains.
"On the glazed floor in front of the palace" is the place where sea durian blooms, and it is also the place where poets enjoy flowers-Mountain Temple. Here, the poet did not simply point out the place, but suggested that this familiar environment is the place where pomegranate flowers are often seen. Otherwise, why do you remember the "green and red decade" of pomegranate flowers so clearly? In the past ten years, how many lingering footprints, shining poems and beautiful memories have been left here? Now is the season of flowers blooming, and the poet came to the mountain temple again. How can he not linger?
It's late at night, and all the flower watchers have left. However, the poet's interest in flower viewing has not diminished. At this time, the bright moon sprinkled Yin Hui on the earth and flowers. At this time, the sea pomegranate flowers are even more magical and charming than during the day. Under the shadow of moonlight, clusters of red flowers are as beautiful as rosy clouds and as beautiful as flaming flames!
Bai Juyi said in the poem "Cherish Peony Flowers" that "the wind of the Ming Dynasty should be blown out and the fire of the night should be seen out" to show his love and pity for peony. Liu Yanshi's poems may be inspired by Bai poetry, but they are not copied, but innovative. It's fun to watch flowers by the fire, but the pomegranate flowers in the moonlight are as red as fire and intoxicating!
The beauty of this poem is that it can accurately describe the specific scenery (sea pomegranate flower) seen in a specific place (mountain temple) and at a specific time (night), expand association, use metaphor, and show the fiery charm of sea pomegranate flower in further description. Readers are naturally brought into the beautiful and quiet artistic conception of the moonlit night, which makes people fascinated.
