Chrysanthemum is a poem written by Yuan Zhen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. It's a chrysanthemum appreciation work. The whole poem is novel and natural in conception, ingenious in brushwork, elegant and simple in language and full of charm. In old poems, chrysanthemum is often regarded as a symbol of the moral quality of feudal literati. This poem is one of them. Written in Chang 'an in the 18th year of Zhenyuan (802). These poems are as follows:
In autumn, the bushes, like Taoist priests, are more and more inclined around the fence.
It's not that chrysanthemums are favored among flowers, but that this flower is even more flowerless.
Clusters of autumn chrysanthemums surround the house, just like Tao Qian's home. If you swim around the fence, you won't feel the sun setting. It's not that I particularly like chrysanthemums among hundreds of flowers, but that there are no flowers after they bloom.
Make an appreciative comment
This seven-character quatrain, although written on the common theme of chanting chrysanthemums, is unique and unique with its pen. The reason why poets love chrysanthemums alone is novel and natural, unconventional and thought-provoking. The poet did not write the chrysanthemum on the front, but set off its excellent character from the side through his love for the chrysanthemum, which was wonderful and interesting. Poetry adopts the artistic conception in Tao poetry, and also sings in elegant and simple language, which is different from Tao Gong's full use of images.
Instead, after describing the details, he tells the reasons for loving chrysanthemum without saying a word, leaving room for imagination to chew and enhancing its artistic appeal. Chrysanthemum is not as rich as peony, nor as precious as orchid, but as the flower of Ao Shuang, it has always been favored by people. Some people praise its strong character, others appreciate its noble temperament, and Yuan Zhen's poems about chrysanthemums reveal the reasons why poets love chrysanthemums in a new way.
