There are some plums in the corner, and cold ling opens them alone. I knew from a distance that it wasn't snow, because there was a smell coming.
These two poems are highly argumentative works in Wang Anshi's poems. "I am not afraid of clouds covering my eyes, but I am afraid of the highest realm." "It's not snow in the distance, because it smells." From this, we can see that poets are the characteristics of politicians and poets-self-confidence. Why not be afraid of floating clouds to cover your eyes? Only at the top. But if he is an ordinary person, even if he stands at the highest level, he certainly can't say that he is not afraid of clouds covering his eyes. And in plum blossom, why not the snow in the distance? Because there is a faint fragrance coming, are you sure it must be plum blossoms? Only Wang Anshi, who has a very strong politician temperament, dares to make such an assertion. Personal opinion!
