In ancient times, many poets were not on a smooth path, so they sent love to the landscape and played the human world. Although there are many poets like Du Fu and Lu You, who are worried about the country and the people, most of them only use poetry to express their loneliness and frustration.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Ming also had such a talent, he called himself the master of suiyuan, and his "Xiaocang Shanfang Anthology" and "Suiyuan Poetry" were passed down to posterity and were very famous.
Yuan Ming's poetry creation is not very much, but there are also some representative works, such as his "Spring Wind": Spring Wind is like a distinguished guest, and it will flourish as soon as it arrives. Come sweep away the snow of a thousand mountains and return to the flowers of all nations. There is also "The Fifteenth Night of December": the sinking is more urgent, and the voice is gradually stopped. Blowing lights and windows are brighter, the moon shines a day of snow, and so on. Here's a little poem of his, "Moss," which is short and capable, but philosophical and thought-provoking.
Moss
Qing Dynasty: Yuan Ming
Daylight is not everywhere, and youth comes from nowhere.
Moss flowers are as small as rice, and also learn to bloom peonies.
The moss flower in the poem is a plant that often grows on rocks and trees in the mountains and can also be used for medicinal purposes. Because there are many trees in the mountains and the rocks are blocked, the moss flowers often cannot see the sun, and the flowers that bloom are very small, only the size of rice grains, but they bloom quietly.
In this poem, the author first describes the scenery, next to the mountain trees, there are babbling streams, there are birds and flowers, although the sun can not shine, but it is still a vibrant scene. The author wanders through it, feeling the harmony and vitality of nature.
Perhaps it is the poet's carefulness, or perhaps it is the special attention to the plants on the side of the road, a humble small flower enters the poet's eyes, and suddenly feels that the eyes are bright, in a familiar scenery, found a newborn plant, and suddenly felt poetic.
Although the moss flower is small and does not have a good growth environment, it can still bloom beautifully, not afraid of the cold, not afraid of the heat, and strong to show the greatness of life.
A drop of water can show the light of the sun, a grain of sand can illuminate the world, and a poem can reflect the inner world of the author. Yuan Ming once said in his "Poetry with the Garden" that the ancient heroes had no great ambitions when they did not meet. For example, he said that Jin Wengong had a wife and a horse, and did not want to go to Qi; when the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu was poor, he also envied others for their fine clothes and jade food.
Therefore, how can ordinary people predict that they will be rich and wealthy in the future, nor will they naturally have illusions, but will just live a mediocre life? But there must be those around us who are not afraid of difficulties and strive to move forward, and they work hard persistently, even though they have experienced thousands of hardships, they will not hesitate.
Such people existed in ancient times, in modern times, and will continue to exist in the future. Because they have good expectations in their hearts, they can be firm and tenacious and indomitable.
Yuan Ming said that there are students who have fallen into the first place, who wrote: There should also be tears of confidants, only to feel faceless to laymen. Being humble but not willing to live up to your confidants and relatives and friends is also a spirit. There is also Shi Yun: not the first far return, the wife is not happy. The yellow dog is just affectionate, when the door lies down and wags its tail. In this way, the ancient world was also cold.
So the poet has such a feeling, seeing this moss flower blooming alone in a dark corner, not afraid of loneliness, not feeling lonely, it is completely a kind of self-enjoyment, deeply aware that nature is really fantastic, but also deeply inspired.
Everyone's life can not be smooth sailing, it is impossible to take care of you alone, and even sometimes there is neither sunshine nor rain, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you must persist and wait for the opportunity.
We must learn this unwilling and lonely spirit of the moss flower, applaud its feelings of being at ease, and at the same time actively strive to grow up, grow towards the sun, and not give up on ourselves. When not understood and not supported, while striving to improve their comprehensive quality, while taking the initiative to promote themselves, I believe that those who have aspirations can achieve things.
