cold plum is the most hateful, and it is often used as last year's flower. Lyric translation and notes of chanting things and plum blossoms
Translation
Stay far away from home and yearn for the scenery in spring.
Cold plum can arouse people's resentment most, because it is always regarded as the flower that opened last year. Appreciation
This is a poem written by Li Shangyin in the later period of Zizhou, which means something for Yongmei. Written in the spring when flowers are blooming, the cold plum has already bloomed, so it is entitled "Remembering the plum".
at first, the poet's thoughts were not on plum blossoms, but on staying in a foreign land. Zizhou (which is governed by Santai in Sichuan today) is more than 1,8 miles away from Chang 'an, and it is called "Tianya" because of its vast territory in the Tang Dynasty. It is more psychological than geographical. Li Shangyin came to Zizhou at the request of Liu Zhongying when his official career was suppressed and his wife died. Living alone in a foreign land and leaving for the shogunate, I feel lonely and depressed. I didn't expect to live for several years, and my mood was more boring and depressed. "Stay in the end of the world" is the voice of this painful soul. Fixed, still "dead" and "firmly", the poet felt as if he had been nailed to this foreign land forever. Here, there is intense anguish, indescribable boredom and helpless sadness. Qu Fu said: "The slang word' Ding Ding' is elegant in poetry." This "elegance" seems to be understood as artistic expression.
A poet who suffers from homesickness and lingering sadness cannot but seek solace in spirit, so he turns to the second sentence: "I am willing to be grateful to things." Wuhua refers to the beautiful spring scenery in front of us. Yiyi, describes the feeling of cordial lingering in the face of beautiful spring scenery. The poet seems to have been comforted for the time being in front of the blooming spring scenery, and a tender feeling of infinite attachment to beautiful things rises from the deep heart. One or two sentences, feelings seem to be diametrically opposed. In fact, the feeling of "longing for things" is born of "settling on the horizon", but the two opposite feelings are interlinked.
"Cold plum is the most hateful, and it grows as last year's flower." Three or four sentences, there is a greater turning point in the poetic realm. In the face of colorful "things", the poet can't help but think of plum blossoms. It blooms first in spring, but when the flowers are in full bloom, the flowers fade early and the fragrance is exhausted. When the poet regrets, he can't help but resent it. It is a layer of twists and turns to recall plum blossoms from "to the object"; It is another layer of twists and turns to remember Mei and hate Mei. "Hate" is the development and deepening of "memory", just as the deeply expected disappointment will turn into resentment.
But this is just the psychology of ordinary people. For Li Shangyin, there are more internal reasons. The characteristics of "cold plum" that blooms first in spring and withers in the hope of spring naturally remind poets of themselves: young people are wise early, their titles are written early, and their subjects are published early; However, it was followed by a series of misfortunes and blows. After entering Sichuan, it was already a "willingness to work for the Buddha, only to strike the bell to sweep the floor, and to be a traveler in Qingliang Mountain" (Preface to Fan Nanyi's Collection), and his mood was quite depressed. This early show fades first, and it is the poet's own portrayal that he can't enjoy the warm "cold plum" in spring with a hundred flowers. In the poem "Plum Blossoms in Mid-November", the poet once expressed the same sigh: "Who is the early show? Don't wait for Nianfang. " Showing early from time to time, the early plum that "does not stay as the fragrance of the year" and the "cold plum that" grows as the flower of last year "are all symbols of the poet's unfortunate life experience. It is precisely because of seeing or thinking about it that it will touch the sadness of life experience, and the poet will naturally complain that "cold plum is the most hateful". When the poem is written here, it is gloomy and closed, revealing a kind of emotional appeal that is sad without words. Appreciation 2
This poem is a poem about objects written by Li Shangyin.
First of all, there is the phrase "stay in the end of the world", which shows that the poet's thoughts were not on plum blossoms at first, but because he was stranded in a foreign land. Zizhou (now Santai, Sichuan) is more than 1,8 miles away from Chang 'an, which is called "Tianya" because of its vast territory in the Tang Dynasty. It is more psychological than geographical. Li Shangyin came to Zizhou at the request of Liu Zhongying when his official career was suppressed and his wife died. Living alone in a foreign land and leaving for the shogunate, I feel lonely and depressed. I didn't expect to live for several years, and my mood was more boring and depressed. This sentence is the voice of this painful soul. Fixed is "dead" and "firmly", and the poet felt as if he had been nailed to this foreign land forever. Here, there is intense anguish, indescribable boredom and helpless sadness. Qu Fu commented on this sentence and said: "The slang of' Dingding' is elegant in poetry." This "elegance" seems to be understood as artistic expression.

but this is just the psychology of ordinary people. For Li Shangyin, there are more internal reasons. The characteristics of "Cold Plum" that blooms in the first spring and withers in the hope of spring naturally remind poets of themselves: young people are wise early, their literary titles are early, and their families are early, but they still fail to meet their talents, followed by a series of misfortunes and blows. When they entered Sichuan, they were already "willing to sweep the floor with bells" (Preface to Fan Nanyi's Collection). This early show fades first, and it is the poet's own portrayal that he can't enjoy the warm "cold plum" in spring with a hundred flowers.

This poem was written in the spring when flowers are blooming. When writing the poem, the cold plum had already bloomed, so it was entitled "Remembering the plum". Li Shangyin, named Yishan, was born in Yuxi (Xi) and Fan Nansheng, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. His ancestral home was in Qinyang, Hanoi (now Jiaozuo City, Henan Province) and he was born in Xingyang, Zhengzhou. He is good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose is also of high literary value. He is one of the most outstanding poets in the late Tang Dynasty. Together with Du Mu, he is called "Little Li Du", and together with Wen Tingyun, he is called "Wen Li". Because his poems and essays are similar to those of Duan Chengshi and Wen Tingyun in the same period, and all three of them rank sixteenth in the family, they are also called "Thirty-six Style". His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems are touching, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems are too obscure and confusing to be solved, and there is even a saying that "poets always love Xikun and hate no one to write Zheng Jian". Being in the middle of the struggle between Niu and Li, I was frustrated all my life. After his death, he was buried in his hometown Qinyang (now the junction of Qinyang and Boai County in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province). His works are included in Li Yishan's Poems.
Li shangyin also has letters from the south of the Yangtze river. A plum blossom knows spring is near. Wanshu is cold and colorless, and the south branch has unique flowers. The order of the fall may be like the Pfister of the snow, brush it away, and the flow down a full. The horn blew through the plum blossom. The night is long and people miss home. The cloud locks are yellow and the smoke willows are thin, and the wind blows the red stalks and the snow leaves. Early plum blooms in the tall branches, far from the blue sky. The night cold is not close to the tassel, only pity him, * * * plum thin. The twilight came, the plum blossoms helpless, already tired, but also suffered by the wind and rain. The more savage the snow, the stronger the integrity of the flowers. Flowers strive for spring, and the cold branches come out first. Mei takes music as beauty, while straightness leads to no posture; Palace powder carving marks, fairy clouds falling shadows, no one wild water shortage bay. Last year, when the snow fell in the south of the Yangtze River, plum blossoms appeared at the end of the month. The snow bank is full of plums, and the spring mud is full of grass. Acacia plum blossom hair all night, suddenly went to the window and suspected it was you.
