Gui Xiang has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the chrysanthemums on Chongyang refused to bloom. For several days, the copper bottle couldn't be soaked, which made him hungry and the butterfly got into the window.
2. The author of this poem Xu Yong fěi (? ~ 1249) was born in Haiyan (now Zhejiang). About Song Lizong lived in the early days of Baoqing. Jiaxizhong (about AD 1239) hid in the Western Qin Dynasty, built a small village in the north of the stream, and planted plums on the four eaves of the house, named Meiwu. There are more than a thousand books in the four walls, among which Bai Juyi and Su Shi are highly respected. Xu Wei has written many works, including Poems of Mei Family, Rong Bian, Collection of Sanmei, Collection of Simei, Collection of Miscellaneous Works, Collection of Qiao Tan and Collection of Worshiping Ugliness. Since I like Bai Juyi and Su Shi's writing, it must be easy to understand, and the poem must be full of Zen, because Bai and Su are both Buddhist scholars.
3. Understand the author's poetic style and the value orientation of advocating Zen, and then understand the meaning of this poem.
3. 1 Literal meaning of this poem: The fragrance of osmanthus has been blown away (osmanthus usually blooms in September to 10 every year), and the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, but in the season of Double Ninth Festival in September, chrysanthemums really refuse to bloom. These days, although there are no flowers, the copper vase is still full of clear water, trying to lure the hungry butterfly into the window.
3.2 The poet's theme is "What happened in the autumn lent", which is an impromptu poem in the autumn study and a portrayal of the poet's quiet life. Poets stay away from imperial examinations and vulgar affairs, and their poems and books amuse themselves. Although he understands the beauty of the book in his heart every day, he also has the mentality of reading thousands of books and expecting a closer harvest in autumn. The natural phenomenon of blooming flowers in autumn is also the impression of the evolution of the poet's literary mind. Learning is useless, like a copper bottle without flowers, lonely and sad. But the poet's heart is not dead. He is full of longing for life and inspiration for beauty. Even though he holds a handful of clear water, he is confident that the hungry butterfly will fall into my trap. In the autumn study, the poet looked at the flowers and waited for the flowers to bloom. This is the Zen meaning of cultivating the mind and nourishing the nature, and it is also the embodiment of the poet's fresh spirit. The poet's study is called Meijia, so we must admire the integrity of plum blossom fighting snow. Autumn is coming, and winter is not far away. The poet who was not used by the rulers in feudal society, in this Mei family, his sense of indifference to the world and his sense of independence to the world are all revealed in this poem.
3.3 Explain the meaning of this poem in the realm of Zen enlightenment. Gui Xiang, Chrysanthemum, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chongyang are all news of the Avenue of Heaven and Earth. Only people who know how to take pictures can do so. Everything is integrated with me, and the poet's heart is a copper bottle of clear water, boasting the unchanging heroism of fate, which must be measured by those hungry butterflies and sentient beings.
4. The language of poetry is obscure, and the poet's realm and life time are too long. It is difficult for us to restore its original intention, but when reading poetry, we should read the artistic conception, understand it in our hearts, and use the lower body ~
