First, several plum blossoms in the corner, cold ling alone. -Wang Anshi's Plum Blossom
Appreciation: Plum blossoms written in the corner are not afraid of cold, but proudly independent. "There are a few plums in the corner" and "corner" are inconspicuous, not easy to be known and not appreciated, but they don't care. It embodies the poet's attitude of sticking to his own opinions despite the harsh environment.
Cold ling blooms alone. Writing plum blossom here is not about its posture, but about its "independence", highlighting that plum blossom is not afraid of the cold and does not follow the crowd. Although in a lonely place, it still blooms in the cold, writing the quality and character of plum blossoms. "Loneliness" has a strong meaning, is not afraid of others' eyes, and remains firm in harsh environment. Reflect the poet's belief in self-persistence.
Second, northerners didn't know it at first, and it looked like apricot flowers. -Wang Anshi's "Red Plum"
Appreciation: In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was no red plum in the capital of Bianliang at first, and then it was gradually planted, and scholars began to appreciate the beauty of red plum. Wang Anshi can't recognize the true body of "Hongmei" through "northerners", which reflects the precious and rare temperament of Hongmei. In this way, it can be linked with the first two sentences "it is not suitable for cold tolerance" to show the uniqueness of red plum.
Only 10, northerners and apricot flowers have become the foil of "red plum". In other words, northerners and apricot flowers are both background boards and green leaves, both to set off the charm of red plum. In this way, the image of Hongmei is highlighted.
Third, it is strange that plum blossoms refuse to bloom, but I am interested in waiting for spring. -Wang Anshi's Yongmei
Appreciation: The poet is ambitious and determined to reform, but he is not understood by the world. He implicitly expressed his grief in the poem Yongmei. Poetry wants to be promoted first and then suppressed. First, people blame the plum blossom for its delay, and then answer people's questions, saying that the plum blossom is delayed to welcome the arrival of spring. The personification technique highlights the plum blossom's character of striving for fame and profit, welcoming the snow and welcoming the spring.
