Feel the delicate orchid leaves in spring | Zhang Jiuling | Notes | Translation | Appreciation | Explanation
Introduction of works
First Meeting was written by Zhang Jiuling, and it was selected into 300 Tang poems. This poem is the first of twelve "Feeling Encounters" written by Zhang Jiuling after his demotion. Poetry thrives on things, compared with Gui Lan, expressing the poet's feelings of narcissism, lofty integrity and no need to quote. The beginning of the poem contrasts Chunlan and Qiugui with neat even sentences, pointing out the characteristics of infinite vitality and elegance. In three or four sentences, writing Gui Lan is full of vitality but glorious without flattery, which is a quality that Dont Ask For Help knows well. The first half is about Gui Lan, not people. Five or six sentences lead to a hermit in the mountains who is in tune with Gui Lan with a sharp turn of "Who knows". The latter two issues show the feeling of unintentional competition. On the one hand, the whole poem expresses a calm and detached mentality, on the other hand, the mood of worrying about disasters is looming. Poetry cares for flowers and trees, with far-reaching meaning. Behind reciting things, it embodies the philosophy of life.

Orchids flourish in spring, and osmanthus flowers are bright and fresh in autumn. Gui Lan is thriving and full of vitality, so Spring and Autumn has become a festive day.

Comments:
After being demoted at the age of nine, he wrote twelve poems about feelings, which were simple, vigorous and profound. This is the first poem, which expresses the poet's narcissism and Dont Ask For Help's knowledge in a comparative way.
At the beginning of the poem, two elegant plants-Chunlan and Qiugui-stand out with neat even sentences. Qu yuan's nine songs. There is a saying in "Ritual Soul" that "Chunlan Qiuju will last forever". Zhang Jiuling, a native of Qujiang, Guangdong Province, is rich in osmanthus trees, so he used local materials to replace Qiuju with Qiugui, learning from the past but not from it. Orchid and laurel are opposite, orchid and laurel are opposite, laurel is opposite. This is due to the relationship between antithetical sentences. In fact, each one is full of flowers and leaves, generally referring to the whole plant. Orchids are described by the word "lush", which means lush and colorful. The word "lush" means that bluegrass blooms in spring and has unlimited vitality. Osmanthus fragrans is described as bright, with dark green leaves and light yellow osmanthus. In contrast, nature feels bright and clean. The word "bright and clean" simply points out the elegant characteristics of autumn laurel.
After Gui Lan's two sentences were written separately, they were unified with the word "self-sufficient as life", no matter how vigorous and bright, they all showed a thriving vitality. The fourth sentence "make them in season" is divided by unity. "Festival" responds to the Spring and Autumn Period in the first two sentences, indicating that Orchid and Guangxi each show their own life characteristics in appropriate seasons. ("Zi" is interpreted as "respective" and "Er" is interpreted as "so", which means "Bazin" and "Bright". The word "Zi" here means not only adapting to the characteristics of festivals, but also that one's own glory is not flattery. The understanding of quality has already predicted the following: "Won't it be transplanted more than any other natural flower?" .
The first four sentences only write about Gui Lan but not people, and the fifth sentence suddenly turns to "Who knows", which leads to the beauty living in the mountains, that is, the hermits who lead Gui Lan to the same tune. The word "Who knows" has an unexpected feeling for Gui Lan. Because the beauty smelled the scent of Gui Lan, she fell in love. "Sit down" is deep and special. Show deep love. Poetry from no one to someone is a sudden turning point, and poetry has also caused waves. The word "smell the wind" was first written in Mencius. Dedication ",which says:" The sage is the eternal teacher, and Boyi Liu Xiahui is also a teacher. Therefore, people who smell the wind of gambling are stubborn and upright, cowards are determined, and people who smell the wind of Liu Xiahui are humble and generous. If you are above eternal life and what you hear under eternal life, you will get up. " Zhang Jiuling used this chapter's "smell" effortlessly, so appropriately and naturally, so that readers didn't think he was using allusions, which is also worth mentioning.
The last sentence: "won't it be more demanding to be transplanted than any other natural flower?" ? "What do you want" took another turn. Since foresters are familiar with each other, if Gui Lan is conscious, he should be happy to accept the beauty's flowers. However, poetry violates this principle and suddenly opens up new ideas. Lan Qiu is in high spirits. This is their nature, not to win the appreciation of beauty. Obviously, the poet used this metaphor to describe a virtuous person who lived a clean and honest life and study in Germany, but only did his duty as a person, instead of winning praise and promotion from the outside world in order to gain wealth and power. The theme of the whole poem is only pointed out here; And the context of the article has always been the same. The above "self-contained as life, making it conform to the four seasons" and "each plant has its own heart" take care of each other; The above "However, why do you think a forest hermit is tempted by the sweet wind and content with beauty" and "Beautiful Fold" agree to meet. The last ten words, summed up above, are watertight.
Classical poetry is very short in eight sentences, while Zhang Jiuling, in just a few chapters, tried his best to beat rabbits. The first two sentences of the poem are the beginning, three or four sentences are the inheritance, five or six sentences are the turning point, seven or eight sentences are the combination, and the structure is rigorous. And I tried my best and failed every word. In the form of expression, metaphor is used, and the implication is gentle with Wen Ya, which makes readers feel that behind chanting things, they are talking about elegant philosophy of life.
Comments:
1. The neat antithesis at the beginning of the poem highlights the characteristics of two elegant plants?
A: bluegrass welcomes the spring and is full of vitality, highlighting orchids and Guangxi.
2. There is no figure in the first four sentences of the poem, and the word "who knows" is used in the fifth sentence, which leads to the "forest residents" living in the mountains. Who are the "forest dwellers"?
A: It refers to those hermits who lead Lan Guifeng into the same tune. They love beautiful things and pursue beautiful personalities and ideals.
3. Poetry expresses its feelings and ambitions in a new artistic way. What is the moral of the sentence "it will not require transplanting more than any other natural flower"?
A: Bi Xing. Lan Qiu is in high spirits. This is their nature, not to win appreciation and appreciation of beauty. The poet uses this metaphor to describe a virtuous person who is completely honest and self-sufficient. Learning virtue is only to do one's duty, not to win praise and promotion from the outside world in order to gain wealth and success.

Orchids and oranges I
Zhang Jiuling
Delicate orchid leaves in spring
In autumn, cinnamon blossoms brilliantly.
Independent as life,
This makes them in season.
But why do you think that a forest hermit,
Attracted by the sweet wind, satisfied with beauty,
Will not ask to be transplanted again.
More than any other natural flowers.
