The first tree in my Xiyan Lake is light ink.
Don't boast about the good color, just let the air be full of dried Kun.
Translation:
A plum blossom growing in Xiyan Lake seems to be a trace of no bright color left after washing the pen with light ink.
It doesn't need others to praise its color, but only cares about filling the faint fragrance between heaven and earth.
Precautions:
Mo Mei: Ink painting plum blossoms. It is also written as "dark and pale plum, a treasure in plum blossoms".
My home: my home. The hometown of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in Jin Dynasty. Because Wang Xizhi and Wang Mian have the same surname and hometown, they compare themselves.
Xiyan Lake: a pool for washing pens and inkstones after writing and drawing. It is said that Zhong You practiced calligraphy when he was young, and often used the pool next to his home to wash his brush, so that the whole pool was dark in the end. When Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said that "the middle school books in the pool are as dark as the water in the pool", it was an allusion to boast that he loved the art and culture of calligraphy and painting.
Head: On the side.
All: the meaning of flowering.
Light ink: In ink painting, there are four kinds of ink colors, such as clear ink, light ink, thick ink and Jiao Mo. What is said here is that the plum blossoms are dotted with faint ink.
Mark: One mark, one mark leaves.
Flow: it means circulation and distribution. Many versions are "left".
Qingqi: The so-called Qingqi is naturally fragrant to plum blossoms, but it also implies the lofty spirit of self-love. The so-called clear gas means elegance, righteousness and harmony.
Man Gankun: All over the world.
M: Diffuse.
Gan Kun: refers to the world between heaven and earth.
About the author:
Wang Mian (1287- 1359, and 13 10- 1359, 1335- 1407, etc. ), the character pokes, the number boiled stone mountain farmer, also known as "eating goods", he was born in poverty, herded cattle for others in his childhood, and became a talent by self-study. He is aloof and despises powerful people. His poems sympathize with people's sufferings, condemn rich and powerful people, despise fame and fortune, and describe rural seclusion. Zhu Zhai Ji consists of three volumes and two sequels. I love plum blossoms all my life, planting plum blossoms and Yongmei, and attacking and painting plum blossoms. The painted plum blossom flowers are dense, full of business, vigorous and powerful, which has a great influence on future generations. It can be used for seal cutting, and the seal is made of flower stone. The seal cutting technique is wonderful. There is a biography of Ming history.
Creative background:
This poem was written in about nine to ten years from Yuan Shundi to Zheng Zheng (1349- 1350). Wang Mian returned to Shaoxing after a long-distance roaming, and bought land to build a house in Jiulishan, Huiji. He was named Meihua House and was named Meihua House Owner. This poem was written in the plum blossom house. At this time, on the eve of the peasant uprising at the end of Yuan Dynasty, facing the insoluble contradictions in real life, the author wrote this poem emotionally.
Appreciate:
The first two sentences of this poem directly describe Mo Mei, while the last two sentences praise Mo Mei's virtuous character and Dont Ask For Help's boasting. He just wants to leave a fragrance of virtue in the world, but in fact, he uses plum as a metaphor to express his attitude towards life and noble sentiments without flattering the secular. The whole poem is exquisitely conceived, light and elegant, straight and melodious, full of fresh and elegant atmosphere.
