Commentary: There is a plum tree in Xiyan Lake near my home. Plum blossoms in full bloom seem to be stained with a touch of ink. There is no need for others to praise its beautiful color, and only the fragrance of plum blossoms permeates the world.
From: Wang Mian in Yuan Dynasty
Poetry appreciation:
This is a poem. Momei is a brightly colored plum blossom. Poets praise Mo Mei and Dont Ask For Help, just to leave a fragrance of virtue to the world. In fact, he used Mei as a metaphor to express his life attitude and noble sentiment. ?
The first two sentences, "The first tree in my family, Xiyan Lake, is blooming with faint ink marks", which directly describes Mo Mei. In the painting, the plum trees by the pond are in full bloom, and the plum blossoms are stained with a faint ink color.
Three or four sentences praise Mo Mei's moral integrity. It is painted in light ink, although its appearance is not exquisite, it has a beautiful, noble and dignified, secluded and detached inner temperament; It doesn't want to attract people, please people and get people's praise with bright colors. It just wants to send out a fragrance and let it stay between heaven and earth. These two sentences are the poet's self-portrayal.
This poem not only reflects the style of plum blossom he painted, but also reflects the author's noble taste and indifferent mind to fame and fortune, which clearly shows his firm and pure ethics and morality of not flattering the secular.
