"Rose in December"
Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli
It is said that the flower is not red for ten days, and there is no spring breeze for this flower.
One tip of the rouge pen has been peeled off, and the four broken edges are still covered with emerald velvet.
It has a unique fragrance that surpasses the peaches and plums, but also rivals the plum blossoms in the snow and frost.
Looking at the new year with joy, forgetting that this morning is the winter season.
Translation of "Rose in the Pre-December Period"
I thought that the flowers would only be red for a few days after they bloom, but the roses are full of spring breeze every day, and they are so beautiful.
The newly bloomed bud is like a rouge-colored brush, and the emerald-like velvet wraps the blooming flower.
The fragrance of the rose is not only comparable to that of peaches and plums, but also works together with the wintersweet to cheer up the frost and fight the snow.
I happily folded it off and watched the spring flowers, forgetting that it was still the middle of winter this morning.

Appreciation of "Rose in the Preliminary Period"
The first couplet of this poem describes the seasonal characteristics of rose flowers; the chin couplet focuses on describing the shape and color of rose flowers when they bloom; the neck couplet uses peaches and plums as a comparison. It reveals the unique fragrance of rose flowers, and uses snow plum as a comparison to set off the graceful appearance of rose flowers. The last couplet describes the poet's unique feelings and expresses the poet's joy at seeing roses before the twelfth lunar month. The language of the whole poem is vivid, fresh and lively, and the structure is rigorous, with layered descriptions. It contains both the exquisite imitation of the rose flowers and the poet's emotional expression. The two are closely combined and have a good artistic effect.
The title of this poem is "Ode to the Rose Before La", and it was already winter, so Yang Wanli firmly grasped these two points in the poem to write.
The first couplet "There is no day when the flower will be red without the spring breeze." It naturally leads to the title of the poem. The second sentence breaks the title and continues the sentence "flowers are not red for ten days", which is common among people in this world. The poet added the word "only Dao" to deny the secular view and come up with new ideas, which makes it feel fresh when reading. "There is no day without spring breeze" is the program, which guides the poets in the whole poem to praise the rose full of youthful vitality, vitality and hard work. These two sentences are summarized. One sentence talks about hundreds of flowers, "the flowers are red every day", and the second sentence talks about the rose, "there is no day without spring breeze". Although it is not a specific description of the rose, it is somewhat abstract, but it is not difficult to understand. The two sentences summarize the characteristics of the rose.
Detailed description of the couplet.
"One tip of the rouge pen has been peeled off, and the four broken edges are still covered with emerald velvet", which describes the joyful mood of the rose buds. This sentence corresponds to the previous sentence "There is no day without spring breeze". "Use a rouge pen" to imitate the expression and will of the rose when it is about to bloom. The word "pee" expresses the momentary movement of the rose when it blooms, turning the static object into dynamic beauty. The words "broken" and "bao" are also used to describe the shape. The calyx and stamens bloom proudly, which shows the poet's meticulous observation and vivid description.
The neck couplet describes the fragrance and grace of the rose.
"It has a unique fragrance. "In addition to the super peaches and plums, they also compete with the plum blossoms in the snow and frost." The characters "super" and "fight" still inherit the word "spring" in the first couplet, which further depicts the noble temperament of the rose when the snow suppresses the frost and makes the flowers more beautiful. The poet here especially praises the valuable character of Rose Aoshuangduxue. He not only writes about the fragrance of rose, but also writes about the grace of rose.
The last couplet is about the poet's unique feelings.
"I am looking forward to the New Year with joy, forgetting that this morning is the winter season." The first sentence changes sharply and raises a new question. The last sentence answers the question and points out the purpose of the question. At the beginning of the response, looking at the four seasons, "there is no day without spring breeze". Even in the middle of winter, plum blossoms are still in full bloom in the snow garden. The words "xizuo" and "forget" are used wonderfully, adding to the liveliness, humor and humor of the poem.
This poem "Late Qian". "Rose" is said to be a masterpiece.

He wrote this poem with deep respect and his love for the rose. In the artistic conception of poetry, the language is simple, the scenery is excellent, and the roses are written with great charm.
