Hemerocallis live in the hall, and wanderers travel all over the world.
Leaning kindly against the hall door, I can't see the day lilies.
This is a family poem. A vagrant imagines his mother anxiously leaning against the door, expecting her son's return. Meng Jiao lives a hard life, and spends most of his time wandering, leaving his parents at home.
"Poor and hungry, unable to support relatives" made him miss him more. What's it like to be a wanderer at the end of the world and a mother at home? It's not hard to imagine intuitively. Kindness is to lean on the door and look forward to it, and it will be hard to come, year after year! Hemerocallis are planted in front of my mother's North Hall. Why plant day lilies?
As early as in the Book of Songs, Feng Weibo had the meaning of forgetting his troubles. It is because I think too much that day lily can play the role of forgetting my troubles, but what is the actual situation? In Wei's "Hemerocallis", the sentence "I forgot to worry, and I will worry again tonight" is the best answer.
"There is no day lily" may be because my mother can't forget her worries because she didn't see the day lily, or it may be that although the day lily was planted, it didn't bloom and didn't play a role in forgetting her worries. In short, no matter what external constraints are used, they can't alleviate the mother's thoughts and worries. Hemerocallis witnessed the deep affection between mother and son.
