Song dynasty: Lu you
Outside the bridge, the plum blossoms are lonely, no matter what. Twilight arrival, plum blossom is helpless, exhausted, and has to withstand the wind and rain.
Plum blossoms don't want to compete for blooming, and the envy and rejection of flowers don't care. Even after autumn, when it is ground into dirt and turned into dust, plum blossoms still emit fragrance as usual.

There is a broken bridge outside the post station, and the plum blossoms bloom alone, and no one asks. Twilight arrival, plum blossom is helpless, sad enough, but destroyed by wind and rain.
Plum blossoms don't want to try their best to compete for favor, and they don't care about the jealousy and rejection of flowers. Even if it withers, grinds into mud and turns to dust, plum blossoms still exude a faint fragrance as always.

By the broken bridge outside the post office. Plum blossoms are in bloom and I am lonely. No one came to appreciate them. It is sad enough to be alone at dusk, and it is blown away by the wind and rain.
It blooms at the head of a hundred flowers, but it has no intention of competing with them for spring and making them jealous. Even if the flowers fall and are crushed into dust and mud, there is still a permanent fragrance in the world.

Plum blossom ode
-With the tune of Bu Suan Zi
Lu you
Outside the post office, next to the broken bridge,
Lonely and barren, a flower is in full bloom.
Sad for her loneliness in the twilight,
She was attacked by wind and rain.
Let other flowers envy you!
She longs for spring not only for herself.
Her petals may be crushed,
But her fragrance will last.
Make an appreciative comment
This word takes plum blossom as the theme, and uses Yongmei's bitterness to vent his anguish and lament the ups and downs of life; The spirit of praise also expresses the belief of youth without regrets and his self-commitment to patriotism and noble personality.
The first half of this poem focuses on Mei's lonely and miserable situation. Lu You once praised plum blossom "The more awe-inspiring the snow, the stronger the integrity in the flower" ("Falling Plum"). Plum blossoms are so beautiful and unique, and many flowers are blooming, but "now" is actually outside the country post station, next to the dilapidated "broken bridge". Nature is inaccessible, lonely and cold, nobody cares, pathetic. No one takes care of him and cares about him. His life and death depend entirely on himself. The "broken bridge" has lost its function of communicating between the two sides. Only broken wood and stones are inaccessible. For these reasons, it can only be "lonely and unloved". "No owner" means nobody cares, and plum blossoms are not appreciated. They can't get close to others, so they can only enjoy themselves and complete their lives by themselves. "Alone is dusk" is a personification technique, which describes the mental state of plum blossom. Although the wild plum blossoms in the wild are not cultivated and cared about, they eventually grow into flowers with tenacious vitality. The sword is sharpened, and the plum blossoms are bitter and cold! Wild plum's extraordinary experience makes it have an extraordinary temperament. Fan Chengda's "Introduction to Merlot" said: "Those who are not grafted in the wild are called wild plums, and the fragrance of ... is the clearest." However, due to the terrain, wild plum has experienced hardships and has a unique fragrance, but no one can meet it and appreciate its charm. Just like "seclusion", why does wild plum worry alone at dusk? Because during the day, it still has a little illusion of being discovered, and at dusk, these tiny illusions are completely shattered; This is just as my predecessor always said in his heart: the hardest pastime is dusk! Not only that, dusk is also the time when yin and yang alternate, the temperature turns cold and it is easy to wind and rain, so; In addition to mental pain, there is also physical torture. "The wind and rain are bigger." This situation of internal and external troubles, physical and mental damage, pushed the misfortune of plum blossom to the extreme, and the experience of wild plum is also a portrayal of the author's past life, which devoted the poet's efforts! In the sentence "Loneliness without a Master", the author pours his feelings into the objective scenery. The first sentence is situational language, which is already a love story.
Shang Kun concentrated on the difficult situation of Meihua, and it did have "troubles". From an artistic point of view, when the author writes about sorrow, he doesn't use the usual metaphors of poets, but uses environment, time and natural phenomena as a foil. Kuang Zhouyi said: "Words take God from a distance and only describe the scenery, but God speaks for itself and is a master." ("Hui Feng Hua Ci") That is to say, the poet describes so many "landscapes" in order to obtain the "divine purpose" of plum blossoms; "Those who are deeper than romance are good at writing landscapes" (Tian Tongzhi's xipu Ci). The four sentences of Shangque can be said to be "double paintings of scenes". Let readers feel the author's mood in a specific environment from a series of landscapes, and let readers gradually step into the author's mood.
The second half is about the soul and outlook on life and death of plum blossom. Plum blossoms were born in the world, and they didn't want to show off their beauty, and they didn't want to be kitsch to attract butterflies, so they hid far away in time, neither competing with flowers for spring scenery, nor sharing Qiu Guang with chrysanthemums, but opening alone in the snow and ice. But this still can't get rid of the envy of Baihua, and it may be considered as "self-righteous", "ulterior motives" and even "making a fool of yourself". Just like plum blossom "has no intention of striving for spring", it ignores all insults and misunderstandings of other things, but is "the envy of the whole people", so let it be: go its own way and let others say it! At the same time, no matter what the public opinion is, I will change with the same, just seeking the sublimation and purity of my soul. Even if the flowers fall, turn into dust and roll into dust, my character will remain in the world forever like my fragrance. Isn't this spirit the poet's personality declaration of looking back on the past without regret and going forward bravely? The "Fang Qun" here refers to the villain of the "peace faction". These two sentences show Lu's aloof and proud character, never associating with flatterers, and also show his lofty sentiments of not being afraid of slanders and being faithful and self-controlled. The last few words take the "unique style" of plum blossom a step further: "Scattered into mud, ground into dust, but the fragrance remains unchanged". The previous sentence inherited the miserable situation that Shang Kun was lonely, Huangmei was in a daze and the wind and rain hit. These seven words were frustrated four times: "falling", which was unbearable to be destroyed by sudden wind and rain, and plum blossoms fell one after another. This is the first floor. It's on the second floor. Mud and water are mixed. You can't tell which is the flower and which is the mud. Judging from the word "grinding", it shows the ruthlessness of the abuser and the great pressure of the abuser, which is the third layer. As a result, the plum blossom was destroyed and trampled to ashes. This is the fourth floor. You see, the fate of plum blossoms is so tragic that it is almost unbearable to read. But the author's purpose is not just to write about the tragic experience of plum blossoms and arouse people's sympathy; In terms of writing techniques, it is still paving the way, ready to go, in order to push the meaning of the next sentence to the highest peak. Although the plum blossom has withered, trampled into scale and crushed into dust, please see, "only the fragrance remains unchanged", but its "unique rhyme" fragrance will never change.
The last sentence has great power to carry the tripod, awakening the whole article, and throwing the unfortunate situation of plum blossoms ahead, the bleak, declining and sad situation that wind and rain hit, withered and fell, and turned into dust, to the outside of the cloud nine at once. "Scattered into mud and ground into dust, only the fragrance remains." Starting from the interests of the nation-state, the author made a life confession. There is a firm self-confidence in sadness. With Mei Yan's ambition, the poet twists and turns to write his lofty ambition in a sinister life. Not kitsch, unyielding, perfect halal customs and unswerving feelings and ambitions. The word "Mei" can be seen everywhere in Yongmei Ci, but the charm of the word "Mei" is everywhere, and the author uses it as a metaphor. Bibi, don't go. Things and I are one. Praise for Mei shows the poet's indomitable noble character in adversity.
Throughout the poem, the poet uses things to describe people, expresses his ambition, and describes his loyalty with the battered plum blossom with fragrant pollen, just as Yongmei wrote in a poem: "Being out of date and drifting away, shame is more pity for Dong Jun". Lu You wrote patriotic poems with full patriotic enthusiasm, which inspired and inspired generation after generation. It can really be said that "the Erdao Temple has been snowing for many years, and the heart is not as good as death."
Creation background
This is a poem written by Yongmei to Lu You, which is actually Lu You's own poem. Lu You loved plum blossom all his life, and wrote a lot of poems about plum blossom, praising the noble qualities of plum blossom, such as pride in frost and snow, cold wind, fear of violence and envy of wealth. In the plum blossom image shaped in the poem, there is the poet's own shadow, just as he wrote in the poem "Plum Blossom quatrains": "How can it be transformed into hundreds of billions, and a tree will blossom?" This "Operator" is also about plum blossom and secret ambition. It is characterized by paying attention to the spirit of plum blossom, rather than describing it from the appearance.
The first two sentences of the last part say that plum blossoms bloom in the fields outside the post station, not in the golden palace and jade hall, and do not belong to dignitaries. The last two sentences are about the experience of plum blossom: blooming in the biting wind and rain. It takes root outside the desolate postal kiosk, next to the broken bridge. Posthouse is a place where people who delivered official documents and traveled in ancient times rested. Coupled with the ups and downs at dusk, how desolate and desolate this environment is! The experience of writing plum blossoms is also the political experience of the author being excluded from writing.
The next film is about the character of plum blossom: he said that he didn't compete with them for spring, but I didn't intend to compete with them for spring. Even if it fades and falls, I still keep that fragrance. If the poet's life is combined with the fact that he was hit by capitulationists and his ambition to serve the country remains unchanged, it is really a plum blossom.
The last two sentences are the spirit of Li Sao, "I don't know what it is, but I believe it is." "Although I haven't changed my body, I can't be punished." It is more profound than Wang Anshi's sentence of Yongxing: "It is better to be blown into snow by the east wind than to be crushed into dust by the south stranger."
Lu You's political career: he was recommended to be the first in the exam in his early years and was jealous of Qin Gui; Filial piety was excluded by a group of villains such as Long Dayuan and Zeng Yi. When I was in the shogunate of Wang Yan in Sichuan, I had to go through the Central Plains and saw myself entangled in the ruling clique, unable to fulfill my ambition. In his later years, he was in favor of the northern expedition of Han Biaozhou, who was framed after his failure. When we read his first poem, we can see that it is the epitome of his life experience and political experience. The plum blossom in his ci is the embodiment of his noble character.
The literati in Tang and Song Dynasties praised the character of plum blossom, which was different from the literati in Six Dynasties. But the famous sentence "Dim fragrance, thin shadow" written by Lin Hejing is just the feelings of a master and a hermit; Although some writers use plum blossoms to write their own characters, they can only say: "There is no spring breeze, how can it be * * *?" Haitang said. "This is just one aspect of Lu You's ci" No intention to fight for spring, everyone is jealous ". Chen Liang, a friend of Lu You, has four plum blossom poems: "A flower changes suddenly, and all flowers are fragrant. If you want to spread the message of spring, you are not afraid of snow burial. "Writing one's own vision, not afraid of attack and upholding justice in politics is the embodiment of Justin Chen's whole personality. The word Lu You is the proud image of a frustrated hero. In my opinion, in the Song Dynasty, these were two outstanding works of writing plum blossom poems.
This is a Yongmei Ci by Lu You (selected into the trial version of Unit 3, 3rd Edition of The Collection of Song Ci by Shanghai Education Edition; Next >; ) is actually a masterpiece of Lu You. Suppressing the word "sorrow" shows the loneliness of plum blossom that nobody cares about, and what permeates it is the author's own loneliness. The experience of writing plum blossoms in Xia Kun is also a political experience excluded by the author, and the last sentence is narcissistic about writing plum blossoms. Lu You is determined not to collude with evil forces.
Lu you advocated resolutely resisting gold and recovering the Central Plains all his life, so he was suppressed by the pacifists in the ruling group. At the time of writing this word, Lu You was at a low point in his life, and the warring factions crowded out oppression and his morale was low. This "Yongmei Ci" is actually Lu You's own masterpiece.

Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums for the leisure of "picking chrysanthemums under the hedge and seeing Nanshan leisurely"; Zhou Dunyi likes lotus flowers because of the noble purpose of "getting rid of the mud but not dyeing, clearing the ripples but not demon"; Lu You's emphasis on plum blossoms is for the firmness of "the more awe-inspiring the snow, the stronger the integrity in the flowers". This can be confirmed by his Yongmei. Outside the bridge, the plum blossoms are lonely, no matter what. It's dusk. I'm alone. It's windy and rainy. Plum blossoms don't want to compete for blooming, and the envy and rejection of flowers don't care. Even after autumn, when it is ground into dirt and turned into dust, plum blossoms still emit fragrance as usual.
After reading this poem, I can't help feeling that "the world can worry about one thing, but scholars are helpless." As a great patriotic poet, Lu You has a long-standing patriotic ambition of "mounting a horse to attack Hu Kuang, dismounting and writing a book". At the age of 29, he entered the official career as the top scholar, but he faced not only some capitulationists who betrayed the country and sought glory, but also a bad king who did not want to accept peace. Therefore, facing the reality of poverty and weakness, the poet can only watch the Southern Song Dynasty embark on the road of "taking the land as a service to Qin, constantly carrying firewood to make a fire, and earning endless wages to make a fire". Repeated blows, crowding out and relegation forced the poet to sigh with awe, "Hu is still there, and his temples are autumn first, and his tears are empty." Who can expect that in this life, my heart is in Tianshan and I am always in Cangzhou. " Nevertheless, the poet's feelings of worrying about the country and the people and unconventional moral integrity have not changed at all. Even when it comes to "eating without continuing", because there is no money, the medicine has stopped eating; Because he saved oil, he had no books to read, and even had to reluctantly sell his usual wine glasses. He still stays at the door of power, and he still cares about Ducky and the people. From this, we seem to hear the persistence and firmness of Qu Yuan's "the road is long, and I will go up and down", and also seem to see the depression and heaviness of Du Fu's "worrying about pear orchards in poor years and sighing about intestinal fever". It can be said that "if you live in a high temple, you will worry about the people, and if you are far away, you will worry about the monarch, and you will advance and retreat." It is precisely because of this social background and ideological foundation that when we read Yongmei, we can see the poet's unremitting pursuit more clearly.
Throughout the poem, the poet uses things to describe people, expresses his ambition, and describes his loyalty with the battered plum blossom with fragrant pollen, just as Yongmei wrote in a poem: "Being out of date and drifting away, shame is more pity for Dong Jun". Lu You wrote patriotic poems with full patriotic enthusiasm, which inspired and inspired generation after generation. It can really be said that "the Erdao Temple has been snowing for many years, and the heart is not as good as death."
