There are some plums in the corner, and cold ling opens them alone.
I knew from a distance that it wasn't snow, because there was a smell coming.
When Wang Anshi was young, he had lofty ideals and ambitions. Later, due to the ups and downs of his career and the resistance he encountered in political reform, he wrote many poems to express his political views and emotional integrity. Wang Anshi's personality is stubborn, just as The History of the Song Dynasty commented on him: "An Shi is strong, what he sees cannot be violated, and he is determined not to return."
Therefore, Wang Anshi also likes stubborn things, such as plum blossoms that are not afraid of frost and snow, open pines and cypresses, and unyielding strong bamboo, which have become the objects of his praise and his yearning.
Wang Anshi's poetic style is vigorous and fresh, and his thoughts are outstanding, especially this poem praising flowers in Yongmei. In his poems, Wang Anshi mentioned his determination to forge ahead despite difficulties and obstacles and his ambition to realize his ideals, beliefs and ambitions.
So, what kind of ambition does Wang Anshi's poem Plum Blossom express?
In this poem Plum Blossom, Wang Anshi praised Yongmei's lofty and tenacious flowers as a metaphor for his fearless and brave determination. It can be said that Wang Anshi is the best in this kind of works.
"There are some plums in the corner, and hanling opened them alone." When the poet started to write, he integrated things with me and wrote things in a shape, so he was actually a writer. Description In this freezing winter, several plum blossoms growing in the corner are quietly blooming alone.
The word "cold ling" expresses the poet's feelings for plum blossoms, so he has something to place on it. In this way, the poet himself entered the poem, chanting "my realm", and this poem is no longer a purely objective description of the scenery.
Then, the poet did not continue to write about plum blossom from an open attitude, but only emphasized the state of plum blossom alone, in order to highlight the beautiful image and valuable quality of plum blossom in a quiet corner that is not afraid of cold.
Let's look at the second sentence, "cold ling blooms alone", which is the poet's praise for plum blossoms. In the cold winter, all the flowers are withered, only the plum blossoms are in bloom, which indicates the breath of spring. What the poet appreciates, praises and affirms is the spirit of plum blossom standing proudly and blooming in the cold.
Therefore, the plum blossoms in these corners, blooming alone in the cold, are the core of Yongmei's poem. On the surface, "corner", "cold ling" and "loneliness" are simple descriptions of scenery and environment, but the poet's implication is profound. On the surface, he portrayed a typical plum blossom blooming in the wind and cold ling in full bloom, and described the place, environment and situation of plum blossom that attracted little attention.
Plum blossoms in the corner, in an inconspicuous corner, live alone and bloom alone. This is the situation of plum blossoms. Unlike peach blossoms, plum blossoms are favored by spring breeze, poets and people.
Judging from Mei's situation, the poet is lonely and nobody appreciates him. His heart was greatly shocked and moved. Isn't the image and situation of plum blossom the same as their own?
In order to highlight the typical image of plum blossom, the poet further described it. From a distance, what is that? Is that branch crushed by snow?
At the end of the two sentences, "I know from a distance that it is not snow, because there is a faint fragrance", to the effect that the poet knows from a distance that Bai Meihua is not snow, because there is a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
These two sentences also poetically constitute a causal relationship. Yuan Zhi points out that the poet's foothold of appreciating plum blossoms is far from that of plum blossoms. It is precisely because the poet sees plum blossoms from a distance that when the fragrance of plum blossoms wafts from a distance, the fragrance of plum blossoms smelled by the poet is faint. These two sentences explain the cause and effect clearly.
From these two sentences, we can know that the poet appreciates plum blossoms at close range, and the fragrance of plum blossoms floats, which is faint and not obvious. The poet's foothold is just right. He can see the pure white petals of plum blossoms and smell their fragrance.
Because of the whiteness of plum blossom, because it blooms in the cold season when everything is dying, the poet "comes for fragrance" and "knows from a distance that it is not snow". It is suggested that snow should be used to foil the fragrance of plum blossoms. It means that snow is noble and clean, but plum blossom not only has the noble and clean snow, but also has an aromatic character that snow does not have. This plum blossom not only blooms in the cold, but also exudes fragrance in the cold.
The word "dark" describes the poet's personal feelings, which is true and natural. Borrowing things to describe people, we should keep our breath clean and dry, how can we not make people sad? The whole poem is 20 words, with profound meaning and vivid image.
"For the faint fragrance", several plum blossoms growing in secluded corners stand proudly and bloom proudly, spreading the faint fragrance to the world from a distance. This is the quality of plum blossom, and it is also a portrayal of poets with plum blossom quality.
Dark fragrance refers to the fragrance of plum blossoms. Poets use plum blossoms as a metaphor for people, and plum blossoms blooming by Ling Cold alone as a metaphor for a person's noble quality. The fragrance of plum blossoms symbolizes a person's talent.
This ending not only echoes the previous call, but also leaves a rich imagination space for readers to further appreciate the profound theme expressed by the plum blossom image and savor the poet's intention to borrow Yongmei's token. The reason why the poet praised plum blossom so enthusiastically is precisely because he found the ideal thing to pin his feelings and character on.
This is actually a portrayal of the poet's image and situation. Cold can't suppress the color and fragrance of plum blossom, so it shows its "cold ling" pride. "Dark fragrance" refers to the fragrance of plum blossoms. Poets imitate people with plum blossoms and portray themselves with plum blossoms. Wang Anshi compared the poet's quality to plum blossoms blooming on Ling Han. The faint fragrance of plum blossom symbolizes the poet's brilliance, subtle poetic twists and turns and intriguing.
Through the description of these two sentences, the poet vaguely reveals his inner injustice, indicating that although he is as lonely as a plum blossom, no one appreciates and uses it, he must stick to the lofty quality and tenacious character of the plum blossom alone, and he must have firm beliefs in the process of realizing his ideals and ambitions.
This poem was written after Wang Anshi's political reform was frustrated. In order to realize his ambition and stay away from the cause of political reform, the poet returned to Jiangning for seclusion. The poet not only faced all kinds of voices against political reform, but also experienced the alienation of relatives and friends. It can be said that Wang Anshi is very lonely at this time.
Therefore, in this poem, Wang Anshi expresses his feelings in the scenery, expresses his feelings in the scenery, and cherishes his feelings by borrowing things. The whole poem not only vividly depicts the beauty of plum blossom appearance, but also deliberately depicts the inner spiritual character of plum blossom: cold resistance, whiteness and fragrance.
In Wang Anshi's poem Plum Blossom, the first two sentences are about plum blossoms that are not afraid of the cold in the corner; The last two sentences say that plum blossoms are pure as snow and have a faint fragrance. The language of the whole poem is simple, and the plum blossoms described by the poet are plain and restrained, but each has its own charm and both form and spirit, just as the artistic conception of "a wisp of fragrance" is so intriguing.
Wang Anshi's poem "Plum Blossom" presents readers with a picture of plum blossom that is flourishing, standing proudly and blooming proudly. The poet expresses his feelings in the landscape. The whole poem is only twenty crosses, and it is deeply emotional and touching, showing the poet's feelings for plum blossoms.
The plum blossom described by the poet is full of self-confidence, and its tenacious image and quality are vividly displayed on paper. Isn't this a true portrayal of the poet's character? In other words, Wang Anshi expressed his resolute, upright, innocent personality, innocent feelings and beautiful ideals by praising plum blossoms, which is the embodiment of the poet's personality.
