Plum blossoms, "spring alone in the world", are the first to bloom among the hundreds of flowers, and have been loved by the Chinese people since ancient times. In the Tang Dynasty, with the stability of society and the development of people's livelihood, the cultivation technology of plum blossoms was greatly developed. This was followed by a large number of wing mei poems. The Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Jiuling, after being demoted to the history of the governor of Jingzhou, wrote a poem "Ting Mei Yong", expressing the feelings of life in the way of entrusting things and words, and the original text of this poem is as follows:
Fang Yi can be early, and Lonely Rong is also in danger.
More pity flower peduncle weak, not subject to the cold of the years.
Towards the snow that is jealous, the wind has been blowing repeatedly.
Although the fragrance is still there, it floats back to who knows.
"How can the fangyi be early, and the lonely glory is also self-endangered", plum blossoms, how can you bloom prematurely? You bloom alone, in danger. The poet strolled through the courtyard and saw that several plum blossoms in the corner of the wall had bloomed alone, and he couldn't help but stop and watch. At present, it is still a cold winter scene, but the plum blossoms are braving the severe cold to open alone, and the tender petals tremble in the cold wind, looking weak and unable to help the wind. On the one hand, it is a cold winter, on the other hand, it is a weak plum blossom, the situation of plum blossoms is quite dangerous, in the face of this situation, the poet can not help but worry about plum blossoms, do not know whether they can survive the cold smoothly.
"More pitiful flower peduncles are weaker, not moved by the cold of the years", I am more worried about the fragile peduncles of plum blossoms, but they do not change their nature due to the cold. With a worried heart, the poet approached the plum blossom and saw that the place where the plum blossom and the branch were connected was so fragile, as if it were about to fall from the branch with a light touch. Thus, the poet is even more worried. At the same time, the poet thinks that plum blossoms have bloomed at this time since ancient times, and they have never been postponed because of the cold, just as benevolent people do not change their integrity because they are in difficulty. Thus, the poet's feelings for plum blossoms turned from worry to praise.
"The snow is jealous, the wind has been blowing repeatedly", the flying morning snow is jealous of its whiteness, and the cold north wind is constantly blowing. The poet praises the character of the plum blossoms, and in the snowflakes, the plum blossoms proudly bloom a little snow white, and their whiteness is so pure, in contrast, the snowflakes appear to dim down, causing the snowflakes to be jealous. The north wind whistled, the cold was biting, and everything in the world was shrinking, but the plum blossoms were still firmly nailed to the branches, not caring about this cold wind, showing the tenacity of life to the cold winter.
"Although the fragrance is still there, who knows", the aroma that can be spread far away, although it has not changed, but it drifts away with the wind, who knows its sweet fragrance? Standing under the plum blossom tree, the poet can smell the fragrance emitted by the plum blossoms. In fact, the fragrance of plum blossoms can spread far and wide, but now, this fragrance is wrapped in a burst of fragrance and drifts far away. Who from afar can smell this fragrance, and who can follow the incense to this lonely courtyard and admire the plum blossoms that emit a sweet fragrance? Wandering in front of the plum tree, the poet fell into contemplation.
As a sage during the Tang Kaiyuan period, the poet was relegated to the history of the governor of Jingzhou because of the exclusion of Li Linfu and others, and although his heart was bitter, he did not change his integrity. When the poet sees this plum blossom in cold bloom, it is as if he sees a spiritual totem, so the poet entrusts his words and sings about the plum blossom, sympathizes with its situation, praises his spirit, and euphemistically and implicitly expresses his heart.
