* * * If you say peony, you will buy flowers with you.
The price is uncertain, and the number of flowers is rewarded directly.
Burn a hundred red flowers and press five bundles of vegetarian food.
Hang a curtain on it and weave a fence next to it.
Sprinkle water and seal it with mud, and the color will not change.
Everyone is used to it, and everyone is confused.
There is an Weng who comes to buy flowers occasionally.
Bow your head and sigh alone. No one knows this sigh.
A bunch of dark flowers, ten people bless. Written satire translation and annotation translation
At the end of spring this year, Chang 'an City was full of traffic and excitement. It turned out that it was the time when the peony was in full bloom, and the famous families in Chang' an went to buy flowers one after another. The price of peony flowers varies, and the price depends on the variety of flowers. Some peonies here are lush and bright red, and a small bouquet of flowers costs five bundles of white silk. They are carefully cared for, their owners put curtains on them, built fences, and cultivated the most fertile soil after hard watering, so the colors of the flowers are as bright as before. Everyone is used to it, and no one feels wrong. An old farmer happened to come to the place where he bought flowers. Seeing this scene, I can't help but bow my head and sigh, but who cares about this sigh: the price of this dark peony flower is equivalent to the annual tax of ten middle-class families.
The appreciation of this poem is contained in Volume 425 of Complete Tang Poems. The following is the appreciation of this poem by Mr. Huo, director, professor and doctoral supervisor of the Institute of Literature of Shaanxi Normal University.
Li Zhao, a contemporary of Bai Juyi, said in Tang Shi Supplement: "The capital is expensive and has been a peony for more than 30 years. It's a pity that you don't spend time playing in the Spring Festival Gala every year. Holding a golden temple outside the palace and planting it for profit, a book is worth tens of thousands. " This poem reveals some essential aspects of social contradictions through the description of "buying peony flowers in Beijing" and shows a theme with profound social significance. The genius of the poet is that he found an "Tian She Weng" that others turned a blind eye to from the place where he bought flowers, which triggered his inspiration and completed his original artistic conception.
The whole poem is divided into two paragraphs. The fourteen sentences in "Everyone loses something" are about your expensive trip to Beijing to buy flowers. In the following six sentences, write Tian She Weng and buy flowers.
Spring in Beijing is coming to an end, people come and go in the streets and lanes, and guests are noisy. It is said that peonies are in full bloom, and friends are called to buy flowers. At the beginning, "imperial city" refers to the place, and "the end of spring" refers to the time. When "spring is near dusk", the countryside is green and yellow, and farming is doubly busy, while Chang 'an, where the emperor and his courtiers are located, is busy "buying flowers". "Noisy" belongs to hearing; "Riding" belongs to vision. In the form of "noise", the scene of men jumping over women and laughing and cheering is displayed at the same time as the picture of cars and horses filling the streets and swallowing lanes. It is really a combination of sound and sound. The following "* * * peony, buy flowers from each other" is a supplementary description of "noisy". When borrowing the car, everyone immediately told each other in unison that the pen was quite clever.
These four sentences are written as "buy flowers", which paves the way for the following writing: buy flowers at a high price and spend them with a small heart. Then there are these rich idle people, driving around and spending money on flowers and plants. "Burn a hundred red flowers and five bundles of vegetarian food." "I'm sorry" describes the huge volume piled up by twenty-five silks. Five horses were used as a bundle in ancient times. "Five bundles of silk" is twenty-five silks. "New Tang Book": "When the' two taxes' were first set up, money was lighter than goods, and silks were 3,200 yuan." At that time, the "two tax laws" were implemented, and a piece of silk was 3200 yuan, so the "five bundles of vegetarian food" was 80 thousand yuan. A hundred flowers red peony sells for 80 thousand, which is really amazing. Then, it goes without saying that "hang a curtain on it, weave a fence next to it, sprinkle water to seal the mud, and move the same color", and its treasure is no different from jewelry.
Creation background: Around 8 10 (five years in Yuanhe, Tang Xianzong), Bai Juyi created a group of poems, Ten Poems from Qin Zhong. "Qinzhong" refers to the area around the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The preface to the poem says, "I will be in Chang 'an on the occasion of Zhenyuan and Yuanhe, and there is enough sorrow between hearing and seeing. Because of the direct singing, it was named "Qin Zhongyin". "This poem is the tenth one. Bai Juyi (772-846), a native of Xinzheng, Henan Province, was born in Taiyuan, Lotte, Xiangshan, and drunk.

Don't waste the east wind blowing the guest's tears. Acacia is hard to describe, dreams and souls have no basis, only returning is. Banana hearts don't show lilac's frustration, but they are also sad about the spring breeze. Just after sunset, it was raining at dusk. Find Hua Die in a winding path, and teach parrots around the sun in an empty aperture. When a flute landed, Xie Niang hung tears in front of the wind. There is a village by the Qingjiang River. Who is left out in the boudoir? What a gaunt railing man. The end of the song is drunk. More like tears on Xunyang River. Along an island full of duckweeds, there will be peace of communication. The lingering thoughts are exhausted, and the heart is peeling bananas. Tingxuan was lonely and near Qingming, full of wine, and fell ill last year. Jiang Yue wept for Motome's sadness, while Ping Li was playing China. After years of war in China, several brothers have been unable to hear from each other; It's a long way from each other, and I'm the only one, right? Chang 'e, I must regret eating the elixir, and now I am alone, in the blue sky, singing every night. Flowers in the next pot of wine, no friends, drink alone. Even if Mei likes Chunshan and Chunshan likes Mei, I don't know how sad it is.
