It's not snow in the distance, because there's a smell coming.
-Wang Anshi in Song Dynasty
Yunlixi Bridge is a unique tree in spring. Guests come to wake up and make up.
Only by seeing the smell of the accident can we believe that Liu Hou is like a woman.
-Chen Songhuan's Plum Blossom
Both of them have grasped the characteristic of "independence", that is, they are not afraid of the cold. Different from other flowers, they have chosen the lonely and high characteristic of winning alone in the cold winter.
Through visual and olfactory description, Wang Anshi's poems show his arrogant quality of persisting in political reform and not compromising the world with his unique features.
Chen's poems, on the other hand, use the metaphor of plum blossom to express the poet's longing for a gentleman's heart and abandon his feelings of wealth, lofty and refined.
