Poetry: Everyone can see the face of spring. The spring breeze blows flowers into bloom and becomes a riot of purple and red. Spring scenery is everywhere.
"It is easy to recognize the east wind, and it is always spring with its colorful colors" comes from "Spring Day" written by Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty.
Literally, this poem seems to be about the impressions of spring outing, but upon closer inspection, the location of the search for fragrance is the shore of Surabaya, which was occupied by the Jin people when the Song Dynasty was crossing south. Zhu Xi had never gone north, so of course it was impossible for him to travel to the shores of Surabaya to sing and sing in spring. In fact, the word "Sishui" in the poem refers to Confucius, because in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius once taught students by singing string songs between Zhu and Si.
So the so-called "seeking fragrance" refers to seeking the way of a saint. The space shown in "Boundless Scenery" is extremely vast, which reveals the poet's original intention of pursuing the holy way. "East wind" is a metaphor for education, and "a riot of purple and red" is a metaphor for the richness and variety of Confucianism. The poet compares the way of the saint to the spring breeze that stimulates vitality and ignites all things. This is actually a philosophical poem that embodies truth and interest in images. Philosophical poetry does not show traces of reasoning, which is Zhu Xi's brilliance. Extended information
"Spring Day" is a poem written by Zhu Xi, a thinker and educator in the Song Dynasty. On the surface, this poem looks like a landscape poem, describing the beautiful scenery of spring; in fact, it is a philosophical poem, expressing the poet's good wish to pursue the path of a saint in troubled times. The whole poem embodies theory and interest in the image, and the conception and writing are wonderful.
People generally think that this is a Wing Chun poem. Judging from the scenery written in the poem, it is very similar to this. The first sentence is "Shengri Xunfang Surabaya Shore": "Shengri" points out tomorrow's time; "Sishui Bin" points out the location; "Xunfang" points out the theme. The narrative is divided into three levels in one sentence, especially the acupuncture point "Sishui Bin", which is the author's intentional arrangement.
The word "Xun" not only expresses the author's interest, but also adds a lot of interest to the poem. The second sentence, "The boundless scenery is new for a while," describes the initial impression gained from watching the spring scenery. "Boundless Scenery" inherits the first sentence "Searching for fragrance in a victorious day" and tells the result of searching for fragrance. Use "boundless" to describe all the scenery within sight.
"A new moment" not only describes the return of spring to the earth and the natural scenery taking on a new look, but also describes the author's refreshing and joyful feeling during an outing. There is no detailed description here, no cutting and pasting of every plant, tree, or stone, but writing from a very vast space.
The last two sentences use figurative language to specifically describe the new situation and express the gains from seeking fragrance. "Easy to know the Dongfeng side", the word "knowledge" in the sentence inherits the word "Xun" in the first sentence. "Easy to recognize" means that the face and characteristics of spring are easily identifiable. It means that I am looking for beauty in the sun. I didn’t expect to have endless scenery. Now that I have such a fresh feeling, I can’t help but jump for joy.
"Dongfeng Nian" visualizes and personifies the spring atmosphere and spring scenery, and puts the word "knowledge" into practice. The last sentence, "Everything is always spring," means that all the scenes are dyed with spring light. People understand spring and feel the beauty of spring from these thousands of purples and reds. This specifically explains why we can "know the east wind side easily".
The word "violet and red" in this sentence is closely related to the "east wind" and far away to the "boundless scenery". It is a rhetorical figure with strong imagery. The poem ends with "It's always spring" and ends with "Spring Day".
