"My brother's gift" (2) Wei and Jin Dynasties ● Serina Liu
The pavilion is loose on the mountain and caressed in the valley. When the wind is strong, pine branches are strong.
First frost is miserable and always right at the end of the year. Don't suffer from cold, pine and cypress have sex.
This is a poem about objects. 1, the wind is blowing and the pine branches are getting stronger. -These two sentences inherited Confucius' thought that "the pine and cypress are known only after the cold" and encouraged my younger brother to learn from the pine and cypress. The more miserable the wind is, the more it must stand in the wind.
2, non-frost and snow, pine and cypress have nature. -Use it here
"Pine and cypress have sex" is actually a theory of "virtue". The so-called "virtue" is to compare people's moral realm with natural things, thus further arousing people's self-improvement of personality realm. Ancient China literati liked to use pine, bamboo, plum and chrysanthemum as metaphors of personality. Here, Serina Liu used pine and cypress as a metaphor to encourage his cousin to be faithful and self-controlled, and not to change his nature because of external oppression, and called on people to have a firm pursuit of personality in troubled times.
