Appreciation: fragrant flowers, with "flowers bloom" as the creative object, express helplessness and sadness about life through flowers. There are 17 "flowers" in the whole poem. Li Qingzhao showed her young and wandering life by describing the scene of flowers blooming and falling. This "Canhua" is also the author's self-portrayal. She used the metaphor of "residual flowers" to set off her sad life.
Judging from the poetic style, this poem by Li Qingzhao is her middle and late works. Li Qingzhao's father was involved in politics, forcing Li Qingzhao to separate from her husband Zhao Mingcheng. In this poem, Li Qingzhao thinks that the fate between her and her husband is like running water, which soon disappears.
Then, Li Qingzhao further elaborated that the beauty of flowers is a flash in the pan after all, just like human life. Prosperity is fleeting, leaving only petals falling and then turning into dust.
However, in the first sentence of the poem, Li Qingzhao also wrote "Flowers bloom without regrets" and expressed her unswerving feelings for her husband. Although their feelings have experienced twists and turns, for Li Qingzhao, this feeling is precious.
Li Qingzhao wrote many people's hearts according to this remnant flower, which also uniquely reflected her personality. It is a realm to make simple poems with strict style with everyday things.
