Appreciation
This is a small Manchu poem by the Qing dynasty lyricist Cao Erkan.
"Magnolia Flowers", Cao Erkan wrote a group, this is the first poem, telling the most beautiful scenery in the Xiaoman season.
"The dragon smokes green, and the two Sheng Huang ponds continue", Shangyin one or two is to say, in the small man's season, the tender bamboo shoots begin to sprout and turn green, and the two flute music alternately sounded over the pond.
"Sheng Huang" can be described by one or two, for example, Wan Liyong of the Song Dynasty wrote in "Bright Moon Shining High-rise Slow": "Ten thousand years generation, one Sheng spring." The night party is long and leaky. "The green world, melodious music, and the small full season seem to be the best time of the year.
"Scarlet dyes roses, snow presses butterflies fly." Three or four sentences say that the roses on the shelves seem to be dyed scarlet; The flowers are blooming, and they are as beautiful as snow, and the butterflies are flying among the flowers. The lyricist used anthropomorphic and figurative rhetoric to bring the scenes of the Xiaoman season to life at once. Roses and lotus are still scenes; Butterflies flying around, it's a moving scene. As soon as it was still, the picture came to life, and the light summer instantly became interesting.
"Half-bed strings, cherry shoots are too small." Xia Yin one or two is to say, between the singing, cherries and bamboo shoots, the scenery, spent the small full solar term.
It's music again, it's good food, how beautiful this little man should be. The lyricist's leisurely and self-satisfied demeanor has long appeared on the paper and is fascinating.
"The most remembered entertainment, fishing tackle tea bell sent to the five lakes." The last two sentences are to say that what makes "I" remember the most is still the light and joyful, with fishing tools and sencha kettles, flat boats and five lakes, send this life, isn't it happy!
The four words "the most remembered Qingyu" suddenly remind people of Su Shi's phrase, "The taste of the world is Qinghuan". A faint joy is also a state of Xiaoman. Fame and fortune, chasing inexhaustible, enough to stop, content and happy, is also a message that Xiaoman transmits to the lyricist.
The small full, full but not damaged, full but not full, full but not overflowing, simple and simple, vast. Life should be humble and self-beneficial. Being small is the best state of life. Contentment is always enough! I wish everyone can meet a humble and motivated self in Xiaoman, and can have a small Qinghuan, live up to Xiaoman, and live up to Shaohua!
