The first tree in my home, West Wild Goose Lake, is full of flowers and light ink marks.
Don't boast about the good color, just let the air be full of dried Kun.
Translation:
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.
On the surface, this poem eulogizes the beauty of plum blossom, but in fact it describes the author's own mind temperament and loyal and pure sentiment. It expresses the author's dissatisfaction with popular customs, and also embodies the author's noble sentiment of chastity and self-control.
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. This poem, titled Mo Mei, is intended to express one's ambition. The poet organically integrates painting style, poetic style and personality. Literally praising plum blossoms is actually appreciating the virtue of a person standing.
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. "West Wild Goose Lake" is the allusion of Wang Xizhi's "middle school books in the pool, and the water in the pool is all black".
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. Wang Mian grew up in a poor family, herding cattle during the day and studying hard under the ever-burning lamps of Buddhist temples at night. Finally, he learned a lot. He is good at poetry and painting, and he is versatile. However, he tried every time and didn't want to curry favor with the powerful, so he decided to gain fame and fortune, live in seclusion in Jiulishan, East Zhejiang, and draw rice for a living. The phrase "don't boast of lewdness, just leave one breath to dry Kun" shows the poet's vulgar, independent and unrequited character.
