"Plum Blossom" is a five-character quatrain created by Wang Anshi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. The first two lines of this poem describe the plum blossoms in the corner, which are not afraid of the severe cold and bloom alone proudly; the last two lines describe the delicate fragrance of the plum blossoms, which are personified by plum blossoms and bloom alone in the cold, which symbolizes Dian's noble character and refreshing fragrance, symbolizing his talents.
The strength and noble character of plum blossoms are also used to symbolize those people who, like poets, can still persist in integrity and advocate justice in difficult circumstances. The language of the whole poem is simple, and the writing is very plain and restrained, but it is profound and thought-provoking.
