chrysanthemum
Don? Li shangyin
Dark purple, bright yellow.
They have the color of Tao Yuanming's Hedgerow and the fragrance of Lohan House.
Chrysanthemum is not afraid of wet dew, but afraid of the arrival of the sunset.
I am willing to stay by the water and drink the parrot cup, hoping to come to the feast of the rich.

The two sentences "Stealing purple and melting yellow" only write the color of chrysanthemum. The purple chrysanthemum is dull, while the yellow bow is bright and beautiful. "Secretly" writes that the color of purple chrysanthemum is not bright, and "light" means that its color is light but not strong. This is the author's intuitive feeling of purple chrysanthemum, and the author uses reduplication to highlight his love for elegant purple chrysanthemum. On the other hand, Huang Ju is very bright yellow, which is "melting and smelting". "Harmony" is warmth and touch; The gorgeous meaning of "Ye" is vision, and the combination of these two words is extremely subtle. Because yellow gives people a warm feeling, the poet obtains a tactile feeling visually, which is the effect of synaesthesia.
This kind of chrysanthemum, "the color on the edge of the pottery fence, the fragrance of Luohan House", has the elegance on the edge of the pottery fence and the fragrance of Luohan Courtyard. These two sentences mean that chrysanthemums are of high quality. "I'm really afraid of the setting sun when it's forbidden." It is not afraid of frost and dew, but worried about sunset. Chrysanthemum is not afraid of heavy dew frost, but with the passage of time, it will have to age and wither. "May the golden parrot ascend to Bai Yutang", and may it wither, make wine, and put it in a delicate parrot cup for a noble banquet.
The chrysanthemum in the author's eyes is not seclusion, but selfless dedication. Here, the poet uses chrysanthemums as a metaphor to express that he is not discouraged despite repeated setbacks and career setbacks. What he is worried about is that after a long time, his ambition can't be put into use, thus wasting his time. It shows that he doesn't want to live in seclusion, and he doesn't want to be strict with the world.
Extended reading: Li Shangyin's literary achievements
There are about 600 poems handed down by Li Shangyin, among which the themes of current politics are directly touched, accounting for a considerable proportion. Li Shangyin's epic has made great achievements. They are by no means sick moans of "thinking about the past", and they are also different from those poems written by predecessors that send feelings to the past. They take history as a mirror, Chen's politics as a mirror, and the criticism of the times as a supplement, making history-chanting a special form of political poetry. Untitled poetry is Li Shangyin's unique creation. Most of them take the lovesickness of men and women as the theme, with faint artistic conception, full of twists and turns of feelings, beautiful words, pleasant tone, which can be dense and dense, and makes people sad to read. Due to his childhood environment and education, Li Shangyin's world outlook basically belongs to the Confucian system, and he has a positive attitude towards life and is eager to make a difference. At the same time, he can think independently, and he has long dismissed the preaching that "learning Tao must seek the ancients and learning literature must learn", and even put forward such a bold idea that "Confucius is nothing more than virtue, benevolence and righteousness". In poetry creation, he was initially fascinated by Li's lofty style and the poetic style of the Southern Dynasties, and wrote many poems praising love, such as Yantai, Heyang and Hanoi. After his repeated humiliation and destruction showed him the rugged road of life, his poems began to show resentment and some criticism to society. In the end, the change of manna opened his eyes with bloody reality and made him take a big step forward in thought and creation. At this time, his poems such as "Two Feelings" and "Re-feeling" have been quite profound and powerful in criticizing decadent politics.
As an intellectual who cares about politics, Li Shangyin wrote a lot of poems in this field, and about 100 poems have been handed down. Among them, Bai Yun in the Western Suburb, Shi Dong Sui and Two Feelings are more important works. Li Shangyin's early political poems were mostly based on Chen's current situation, and their harsh tone of grief and indignation and sense of self-expectation reflected his mentality at that time. In poems about political and social contents, it is a feature of Li Shangyin's poems to borrow historical themes to reflect his views on contemporary society. Fu Hou, two poems of Northern Qi Dynasty, Mao Ling, etc. It is a representative.
Extended reading: the characteristics of Li Shangyin's poems
Li Shangyin's poetry is unique in the late Tang Dynasty, because he is sentimental and devoted to it. He uses many works to express the feelings of late Tang scholars and their persistence in love, thus creating a new style and a new realm of poetry. His poems are novel in conception and beautiful in style, especially some love poems and untitled poems, which are lingering and memorable. In addition, Li Shangyin used subtle and hazy expression techniques to the extreme, but some poems were too obscure and puzzling to be solved. There was a saying that "poets always loved Quincy, but only hated that no one wrote Jian Zheng".
Li Shangyin's poems are the fruits of modern poetry, especially seven-character poems. He is the second milestone in the development of the Seven Laws in the Tang Dynasty after Du Fu.
Li Shangyin inherited the characteristics of Du Fu's Seven Laws, such as prudence, depression and frustration, and combined the rich colors of Qi Liang's poems with the fantasy symbolism of Li He's poems, forming a unique style of affection, aestheticism and delicacy. For example, "Re-crossing the Notre Dame Temple" meets love, and the symbol of Bixing is integrated into the landscape to convey the feeling of being trapped and frustrated; "Spring Rain" moves the exotic beauty of Li He's ancient poems into the regular poems, with beautiful language, neat antithesis, beautiful melody and beautiful images. However, because he likes to use unorthodox classics in his poems, the overall meaning of his poems is often vague. Secondly, Li Shangyin developed the expression of life lament to a deeper and more subtle aspect, and was good at expressing melancholy and lonely feelings with gorgeous and exquisite art forms. His poems are full of confused and sad experiences. His works are profound and delicate, with profound charm, "near but not floating, far and endless", full of symbolic meaning and hazy beauty. For example, there are always different explanations about Jinse's poems, such as mourning, sustenance, love, listening to songs, self-preface, self-injury, etc., which are subtle and far-reaching and have hazy beauty. Thirdly, in a sense, his poetry is a symbol of his soul and a purely subjective expression of life experience. Li Shangyin's seven poems, such as Love at the Rockfall Pavilion in Cuizhou, Cui Yong, Sending Friends to the North on a Rainy Night and Sunset Tower, express the feelings of life experience more, with delicate feelings and beautiful artistic conception. Poetry is permeated with life experience and the sadness of the times, with a sad and sad artistic conception and sad beauty. In art, they are more delicate, sad and beautiful, and in exquisite and rich rhetoric.
