This is a well-known poem about peony in Tang poetry. The poet did not directly describe peony, but used contrast and contrast to express the unique beauty of peony. ? [4]? Among the hundreds of flowers, graceful peony is known as a national beauty. Poets in the whole poem call it wonderful to write in white. The first two sentences of this poem describe the encounter between the poet and the peony, while the last two sentences admire its beautiful color.
"I met this world by chance, and I was at my aunt's house in Zengcheng." The first sentence points out that seeing peony flowers in Niu Senru's Nanshu for the first time is like meeting a "noble person" in life, inadvertently revealing the lofty realm of peony flowers in the poet's heart. In the poet's view, peony is the crystallization of the essence of the sun and the moon, and should be planted in the sky. Today, meeting people is purely "accidental", so when I saw peony in Niuzhai, my words were amazing.
