There are many trees in the atrium, but it is Mei Zi. Why did you come alone? I think it can bloom in frost,
You can do it in dew. Shake the spring breeze and charm the spring day.
Nian Er chased the cold wind, with or without frost.
There are many trees in the yard, but you just praise and sigh plum blossoms. Why are you doing this? Because it can blossom in frost and bear fruit in cold dew. Those who will only sway in the spring breeze and be charming in the spring will definitely fall and chase in the cold wind, because you only have the essence of blooming in the frost but not being cold-resistant.
Among the poets from the end of Eastern Jin Dynasty to Liu Song Dynasty, Bao Zhao was the best. Bao Zhao's poems are famous for Yuefu, and there are many five-character poems, but their achievements are not as good as Yuefu's. His poems are full of satire and generosity, exposing the darkness and injustice in the real society to some extent, which may be related to his poor family and bumpy career. This poem is about ambition, plum blossom and people.
The first two paragraphs show the poet's unique idea: there are many miscellaneous trees in the court, so why consult for plum blossoms? The poet himself asked, "Why are you lonely?" Readers also expect him to give an answer. The sentences after "Minding Qi can make flowers bloom in frost" are all poet's comments, but they are not abstract comments, but put reasoning in the description of concrete images. "Nianqi" and "Nianer" are two levels of progress. First, they praised Li Shu's positive character. In the wind, frost and rain, many flowers are filthy, and the unique plum blossom is in full bloom and fruitful, and people are full of praise for it.
However, these descriptions are only a foreshadowing. The theme of the whole poem is "the year is scattered, the cold wind drives, there is frost and no frost". The previous sentence "Nianer" is the first turning point, and the "Nianer" here is the second turning point, which points out the poet's original intention. Although Shu Mei has all the above excellent personalities, it is a pity that the plum blossoms in Aoxue Ao Shuang can't bloom for a long time, and they will stay after all. Flowers bloom and fall, which is a natural phenomenon. Plum blossoms can't bloom often. Bao Zhao only personifies things, and uses the topic to satirize those who tried to practice moral integrity but couldn't stick to it. In feudal autocratic society, intellectuals often suffer from disasters because of exhortation, so many people often can't keep the festival. In the Jin dynasty, this kind of situation is not uncommon, according to Bao Zhao. It can be seen that he despises such a person who can't keep moral integrity, and at the same time he despises it with some regret. This poem takes plum blossom as a metaphor, revealing the truth that a person's moral integrity is not a manifestation of a temporary event, nor a superficial disguise, but should be worthy of the name and stick to it all his life. We can say that this is a philosophical poem, which talks about the philosophy of life, but this philosophy is expressed by metaphor.
