Wang Anshi's ancient poem Plum Blossom

The ancient plum blossom poem is as follows:

There are several plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens them alone.

I know from afar that it is not snow, because there is fragrance coming.

A few plum blossoms in the corner are blooming alone in the cold. Why do you know from a distance that white plum blossoms are not snow? That's because there was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

Appreciation of Poetry

In the first sentence, "There are many plums in the corner", and "corner" is inconspicuous, unknown, unappreciated, but doesn't care at all. The "corner" environment highlights the humble and solitary form of several plums. It reflects the poet's attitude of insisting on his own opinions despite the harsh environment.

the second sentence, "ling cold drives alone" and "alone", has a strong meaning and is not afraid of other people's eyes. It still stands in the harsh environment. Reflect the poet's belief in self-persistence.

in the third sentence, "knowing from a distance is not snow", "knowing from a distance" means that the incense is floating from far away, faint and not obvious. The poet has a keen sense of smell, a unique eye and is good at discovering. "It's not snow", not plum blossoms, but the whiteness of plum blossoms can be seen. It means looking very pure and white from a distance, but knowing that it is not snow but plum blossoms. Poetic twists and turns are implicit and intriguing. Dark fragrance, quiet fragrance.

in the fourth sentence, "there is a faint fragrance". "Dark fragrance" refers to the fragrance of plum blossoms, which personifies people with plum blossoms, and ling2 han2 is alone, and the metaphor is noble in character; The faint fragrance is a symbol of its brilliance.
