Not afraid of severe cold, white and flawless, with strong vitality
The ancient poem "Plum Blossom" describes the characteristics of plum blossoms that are not afraid of severe cold, white and flawless, and strong vitality. In the first sentence, there are several plum blossoms in the corner. The corner highlights that plum blossoms are not taken seriously in daily life and just grow alone and silently in the corner. Plum blossoms are not like other flowers that compete for beauty, nor are they loved by people like flowers in spring and autumn. They bloom alone and silently in winter.
The distant knowledge and dark fragrance in the following text both show the low profile of plum blossoms when they grow. The fragrance of plum blossoms is not easy for people to detect, but if you look closely, you will find its beauty and the unique fragrance it releases. , can bring people a refreshing feeling. When appreciating plum blossoms, you should not only appreciate the flowers, but also appreciate its spiritual integrity.
The "dark fragrance" is colorless, but it adds a hazy color to the picture. The clarity and haziness are intertwined, just like a hole shining in the snow, creating a sense of movement that flickers in and out. It's also like a wisp of smoke floating in the air, moving forward in waves and crossing the plum branches. The author uses sporadic pen and ink to unfold the artistic conception layer by layer, and a few real writings mention the infinite virtual scenery, and the spirit of plum blossom is also expressed vividly. The author's fascination also fascinates the readers.
The ancients often used these images in such a pattern: bamboo was mostly painted with bones, and the realm was all in it. Some words were mixed with the mottled texture of bamboo to blend the unevenness of the text, which is called freehand brushwork in the scenery. If you use painting to describe the pine tree, the association in the painting posture will be all in the pine posture; if you use poetry to write about the spirit, the pine posture will be all in your imagination; in painting and poetry, the posture will show the spirit, which is all about borrowing objects to express ambition. Plant orchids, plant them in pots in the courtyard, and the fragrance will fly in the study. The fragrance of orchids is clear, and the fragrance of books is elegant. It is called indifferent and elegant. And plum blossoms, like pine trees, can be poemed and painted. The difference is that pine trees convey the spirit in paintings, while plum blossoms convey the spirit in poems.
