"Miscellaneous Poems" Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty

You come from your hometown, so you should know the things in your hometown.

Will the winter plum blossoms bloom in front of the beautiful window tomorrow?

Notes:

1. Miscellaneous poems: write sporadic thoughts and trivial matters that arise at any time, poems with indefinite titles.

2. The day of coming: the day of coming.

3. Qi window: a window with carved patterns. Qi, patterned silk fabrics.

4. Winter plum: plum blossoms that bloom in winter.

5. To bloom: to bloom; to bloom.

Appreciation:

At the beginning of the poem, the poet uses a tone similar to that of a speech, and without modification expresses the desire of a person who has lived in a foreign country for a long time once he sees his relatives and friends at home. I feel extremely passionate and eager to know about my hometown. So, what do strangers in a foreign land want to know most? What the protagonist in the poem misses most fondly is whether the plum blossoms in front of the flower window have bloomed. Using plum blossoms as a metaphor for many household chores not only makes it more life-like, but also poeticizes the most common household chores. At the same time, it also reflects the noble and noble character of the poet who loves plum blossoms.

The whole poem is simple and plain but has a rich poetic flavor
