The original of "Give a Lotus"
People in the world have different descriptions of flowers and leaves. They plant flowers in beautiful golden pots, but regardless of the flowers and leaves, they fall into the soil and become dust.
Only the lotus flower is matched with red flowers and green leaves. The lotus leaf has a roll of Shu, and the lotus flower has a bloom, which is so perfect and natural.
Lotus and lotus leaf shine on each other for a long time. When the lotus leaf falls, it withers. What a pity!
Appreciation of "Give Lotus"
The first two sentences of this poem describe two different fates of flowers and leaves. Flowers and leaves in the world are born from the same root, with the same branch length, colorful, varied, unique and fragrant. Once recognized by a discerning person. The transplanted golden basin is well cared for. But the green leaves were abandoned and fell to the ground, turning to dust in the biting wind and rain. Flowers into the pot, leaves like dust, this is the fate of flowers and leaves in the world. These two sentences always describe the happiness of flowers and the misfortune of leaves, and their "incoherence" reflects the value of the unique quality of lotus.
The word "only" is different from the same, and the following four sentences are derived from it, which are translated into the stretching and shrinking of lotus leaves, the opening and closing of lotus flowers, and all kinds of verve, natural and unadorned. The ancients used lotus flowers to describe many virtues of gentlemen, and borrowed the characteristics of lotus flowers to compare and praise the outstanding independent character of noble and refined, not flattering the world. But this poem praises the "naive" quality of the lotus leaf, in order to praise the virtue of sincerity but not hypocrisy. Ren Naizhen is not only about flowers, but also about people. Write human nature in a colorful and novel way.
The last two sentences go deep into the "innocence" of lotus. The red flowers and green leaves of the lotus flower reflect each other. Even in the decline of red, when the world is sad, we still don't dislike each other. If the first two sentences write lotus "Ren Naizhen", it is important to show * * * glory; Then, the "long contrast" between these two sentences is mainly manifested in the same decline. These four poems complement each other and inherit from each other, which completely shows the unswerving quality of Lotus from both positive and negative aspects.
Li Shangyin was frustrated all his life and only worked as a few small officials. The main reason is not that he has no talent, but that he has no confidant recommendation. He lives between Niu and Li, without trust and support, and is laughed at and excluded. This poem praises the rise and fall of the lotus, but actually expresses its desire for bosom friends and political support.
The language of this poem is simple, the meaning is obvious, the expression is straightforward, and the rhythm is bright, which is different from many poems by Li Shangyin, and reflects the diversity of his poetic style.
Brief introduction of the author of "Give a Lotus"
Li Shangyin, a native of Xingyang, Zhengzhou, was born in Qinyang, Hanoi (now Jiaozuo, Henan). He is good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose also has high literary value. He is one of the most outstanding poets in the late Tang Dynasty. Together with Du Mu, it is called "Xiao", and together with Wen, it is called "Wen Li". Because his poems and essays are similar to the paragraphs and essays of the same period, all three of them rank sixteenth in the family, so 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 to be solved, and there is even a saying that "poets always love Quincy and hate that no one writes about Jian Zheng". Caught in the struggle between Niu and Li, I was frustrated all my life. After his death, he was buried in his hometown of Qinyang (now the junction of Qinyang and Aibo County in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province). His works are included in Li Yishan's poems.
