Author: Zheng Sixiao
Flowers can't bloom, and independent fences are not poor.
It is better to hold incense in the branches and wait for death than to blow it into the north wind.
Translation:
When the chrysanthemum blooms, the flowers have withered.
Only she drove alone through the sparse fence,
It makes people happy and feels different.
What is more unusual is that chrysanthemum prefers to keep its fragrance and dead branches.
Will never be blown down by the north wind.
Appreciate:
Zheng Sixiao's poem painting chrysanthemums is different from other poems praising chrysanthemums. It expresses the poet's life experience and ideal pursuit, and is a chrysanthemum poem with specific life connotation.
Zheng Sixiao, a student in imperial academy at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, once took an examination of erudition and macro-speech. Yuan army south, Zheng Sixiao care about the country and the people. He went directly to protest and criticize the enemy's plan, but he was rejected. Zheng Sixiao was saddened, living alone in Suzhou, and never married. After the death of the Song Dynasty, the word Weng was changed, and the number South was used to show that he did not forget his motherland. He also named his living room "Cave World" and put the word "ten" in the cave, which means "Da Song". He was good at painting orchids, but he didn't paint soil when he painted orchids after the death of Song Dynasty. People asked him why, and he replied, you don't know yet? Zheng Sixiao's self-excited moral integrity makes people cry! He praised chrysanthemums as a metaphor, and this painting of chrysanthemums poured his blood, tears and life!
Two poems about chrysanthemums are people's understanding of chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums don't bloom with flowers at the same time, and they are noble scholars who are not vulgar and flattering.
I would rather cling to incense than blow off branches in the north wind. These two sentences further describe the noble ambition of chrysanthemum that would rather die than be blown off by the north wind, depict the arrogant and aloof chrysanthemum, and express the determination to stick to noble moral integrity and rather die than surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. This is Zheng Sixiao's unique feeling and his unyielding loyalty to the motherland.
Poets in the Song Dynasty lamented the dead branches of chrysanthemums, which has become an incomprehensible complex, which is of course related to the hidden pain in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu You has a poem in "Dead Chrysanthemum", which says that a idle stump is holding branches, and Zhu has a poem in "Yellow Flowers", which says that he is holding fragrant branches and growing old, instead of dancing with yellow leaves in the autumn wind. Judging from the completeness and clear political orientation of image aesthetics, they are slightly inferior to Zheng Sixiao's two poems.
Holding incense on the branches to death is more tragic than holding old on the branches, with a dignified tone and never looking back. Compared with the autumn wind that does not dance with the yellow leaves, the former asks questions and has a firm tone; The latter declares that a dance word has a little graceful artistic conception and is slightly out of the theme. More importantly, the former pointed to the north wind, clearly pointing to the Mongolian khanate that originated in the north, and the feeling of resistance was vividly on the paper.
Of course, both Lu You's and Zhu's poems are good, but the three poems stand side by side, and their worries are deeper.
This poem is especially appropriate when it is used to express national integrity, loyalty and patriotism.

Original text:
Looking at the mountains from a distance,
Listen to the water silently.
Spring is gone and the flowers are still there.
People come and birds are not surprised.
Precautions:
1, color: color also means scenery.
2. Surprise: Surprise, fear.
Translation:
The mountains in the distance are brightly colored, but there is no sound when you approach the water.
Spring has passed, but there are still many flowers and plants blooming.
People approached, but the bird was still undisturbed.
Appreciate:
The mountains in the distance are often blurred, but the mountains in the picture are very clear. If you listen to running water nearby, you should hear the sound of water, but the running water in the painting is silent. Flowers in full bloom in spring will fade with the passage of spring. And the flowers on the painting are in full bloom no matter what season. When people get close to the bird sitting on the branch, it will fly away in horror. But the bird in the picture can't fly even if you come near it. It seems that the whole reading goes against the laws of nature. In fact, it is the secret mystery that writes the characteristics of this painting.
Looking at the mountains from a distance,
The distant mountains are smiling, and the colorful mountains are good. What is colored? Comely, handsome, red, wet, green and drooping are colors, so are cool gray, and so are strange and steep pictures. It is only because it is far away that it produces beauty and makes people feel that it has unlimited scenery. This is tranquility, and the beauty of tranquility is beyond the reach of the first sentence, because only people with meditation can taste it. This is like the Chun Xue, which drove the Xialiba people out of the art space from the beginning. Cancelled the qualification of impetuous people to appreciate beauty. Here, any impetuous is not enough, and some are just calm as water. But it is not stagnant water, but living water. Do you think there is water in the painting? A spring gushed out with irresistible goodwill. A flowing beauty jumps into the poet's eyes.
Listen to the water silently.
The source of living water is the dynamic environment, and the silent word enters the static environment, which is quiet and far-reaching. There is no contradiction with the first sentence. A poet can choose between motion and stillness. What's the big deal? It's too quiet, it's hard to give up, it's hard to find. In this way, we will be close to this poem and this painting, and our hearts will be close to the mountains and rivers. All the beauty is just silence. Silence is a beauty. In Wang Xizhi's poems, walking on a tree-lined road, like swimming in a mirror, is this kind of beauty. Sound and silence are dissolved together, the perfect sound of nature! That's what Zhuangzi called nature. When the sounds of nature and people get together, they form the sounds of nature that ordinary people can't say.
Spring has passed, but there are still many flowers and flowers. People go nearby, but the birds are still not disturbed.
Flowers bloom heartily in that most beautiful season, and finally open life to the most beautiful. After the beauty reaches the extreme, it floats away. But the flowers don't fade, just because they are in the painting. Not only that, but also the flowers in the painting. By the end of spring, the flowers were gone, and the feeling of sadness was everywhere.
Birds are not surprised. They don't know that their youth is over and the years have passed. How many regrets have been left.
The painting in the poem seems to represent a dream, an invisible dream, but that kind of dream can only be remembered when the human mind is in a quiet state. But it's impossible. It's true. Poets can only look for the last thing in the world that can be entrusted with a touch of meditation. People leave, flowers stay in the air, birds are not surprised, people come again, there is no eternal beauty, all beauty will be hidden in illusion.

From a distance, the mountains are high and the clouds are light, and the colors are bright. When you look closer, you can only hear the sound of water, but there is no sound.

Tang Yin painted chicken
The red crown on the head doesn't need to be specially cut, and the cock is white and feathered.
I dare not say anything in my life, and I called thousands of households to open it.
Translation and annotation
Its head is bright red as safflower, and its hat in full bloom is naturally uncut. This is a white chicken, so it is covered with snow. He never dared to talk casually in his life, but when he shouted, thousands of families opened their doors and windows.

Tang Bohu said: This is the white chicken I drew. The red crown on the head doesn't need to be specially cut, and the cock is white and feathered. I dare not speak out of turn in my life, and I called thousands of households to open it. He seems to be talking about himself again. He said, my beautiful and natural crown is like a hat on the head of a big official. I'm walking slowly towards you with snow-white feathers. Usually I don't talk casually, because I am the messenger of time. Once I speak, you will start a new day!
Red crown, a hat worn by officials at that time; My red crown, I planted it myself. All white, because I come from winter; Walking in the future will be an auxiliary word, coming to you; I came to you with winter snow! Therefore, because of my great responsibility, I can't speak casually day and night, because when I open my mouth, I am in charge of the world; As soon as I speak, I will tell you that it is dawn, get up, the emperor is no exception, the chief executive is no exception, the rich are no exception, and the common people are no exception. Everyone should get up.
From this poem, the author uses description and color contrast in the first and second sentences. This is a feature of ancient poets writing poems. The red crown on the head of the sentence describes the red crown on the cock's head, and the sentence is dressed in white, which describes the white feathers of the cock from the whole body. Clear, from partial to comprehensive; With a large area of white (rooster) and the red crown on the rooster's head, the color contrast is strong, and you can imagine the majestic posture of the rooster coming towards us. The third and fourth sentences tell another profound truth. The poet's poetic road turned sharply, saying that the rooster dared not crow casually all his life. This sentence is very restrained and low-key, especially the word "dare not". This is the most difficult sentence in the whole poem, which lays an irreplaceable foundation for the end of the fourth sentence. Watching, we suddenly woke up. The third and fourth sentences are about the virtue and authority of roosters. The third and fourth sentences also use the artistic technique of poetry, which makes the two sentences form a strong contrast.
