Quan Song Poems is another great collection of classic poems after Quan Tang Poems. "Quan Song Poems" contains more than 200,000 works, which is completely better than "Quan Tang Poems" in terms of quantity, which shows that there are more poets in the Song Dynasty and many classic works left behind. And one of them is more eye-catching in terms of quantity, that is, Wing Mei poems. "All Song Poems" contains a lot of Yongmei poems, of which Lu You has written dozens of poems, in addition to Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Xin Shuyi, Yang Wanli, Fan Chengda, etc., these first-class great poets, they all love plum blossoms, and created a lot of Yongmei poems. In addition to the famous Yongmei poems, there is another poet who is very unpopular, but his Yongmei poems are very famous.
He is Lu Yu, who wrote two famous poems that juxtapose mei and snow, called "Snow Plum". Lu Yu is a Poet of the Song Dynasty, he also has a more familiar name, called Lu Meipo, "Meipo" is not his name, but his self-title, Lu Meipo's birth and death years are unknown, there are few records about him, only from other people's poems or essays to find some of his experience, he and the famous lyricist Liu Guo is a good friend, there are not many surviving poetry works, these two "Xuemei" is his best work, from which we can see his Yaxing and interest, but also can see his love for plum blossoms.
"Snow Plum Two Songs"
[Song] Lu Meipo
One
Mei Xue did not refuse to fall in the spring, and the rioters put aside the pen fee to evaluate the chapter.
Mei Susun snow is three points white, but the snow loses plum incense.
Second
There is no snow without spirit, there is no snow without poetry.
The sunset poem is full of snow and snow, and it is very spring with Mei.
The ancients have always loved plum blossoms, especially in the cold winter, seeing plum blossoms in the snow, not only making the plain weather add a touch of poetry, but also feel that the plum blossoms in the snow have a romantic meaning. Therefore, Lu Meipo grasped these two ordinary images, only a little carving, has been written vividly and interestingly, and full of poetic feelings, let us read catchy, have a sense of immersion, but also appreciate the profound philosophy contained in them, which is the most unique place of these two poems.
The first song of "Snow Plum" is described from the perspective of Mei Xue's struggle for spring. The poet believes that snowflakes have the beauty of snowflakes, plum blossoms also have the unique personality of plum blossoms, it is actually difficult to evaluate between the two, who is better in the end? Look at the poet's analysis.
The first sentence of the poem, "Mei Xue fights for spring and refuses to fall", opens the door and directly points to the topic. Using anthropomorphic techniques, xue and plum are given character, saying that they are one flying to welcome spring, one is fragrant to send warmth, "fighting for spring" with each other, and not giving in to each other.
The second sentence, "Commentary on the Pen Fee of the Saoren Pavilion", closely follows the first sentence and continues to taste the commentary. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many poets and lyricists have praised snow and plums, but if they want to compare their height and length, they are "cabinet pen" and ponder.
The last two sentences of the poem read, "The snow is three points white, but the snow loses a piece of incense." "Objective analysis leads to conclusions. Plum blossoms are not as white as snowflakes, and snowflakes do not have plum blossom fragrance. Snow and plum have their own strengths and weaknesses. Neither the fragrance of plum blossoms can be used to deny snow, nor can it be denied with the whiteness of snowflakes. This appraisal is not only a specific interpretation of the "Appraisal of the Writing Fees of the Tumultuous Cabinet", but also a criticism and admonition that "Mei Xue has not refused to surrender in the spring".
So, who brought the spring feeling? The second song of "Snow Plum" answered.
The first sentence of "there is no plum without snow and no spirit" tells the dialectical relationship between the broken plum and the snow: Mei not only cannot denigrate the snow, but only under the background of the snow can it see its brilliance more.
The second sentence writes about the relationship between snow and poetry. When it snows, it is difficult for laypeople to find the poetry in it and create poetry; even poets, if they lack Yaxing, cannot write poetry, which is no different from laymen, so it is said that "there is no poetry in snow."
The last two sentences of the poem read, "The sun is full of snow and snow, and it is very springy with mei." "Vividly depicting the far-reaching realm of snowflakes and plum blossoms, poetic beauty blending into one, pointing out the main theme of the whole poem: snow or plum, although they have their own unique beauty, but only in the contrast between, their beauty is more and more brilliant." Moreover, only by casting people's subjective feelings into the objective scenery of snow plums and achieving the situation of "wonderful harmony and boundlessness" (Wang Fuzhi's "Jiang Zhai Poetry"), can we truly feel the rich spring meaning brought by the plum blossoms in the vast snow.
In these two poems, the poet comprehensively expounds the relationship between Plum, Snow and Poetry, believing that the three are organically unified and indispensable. Because if only plum blossoms bloom alone and there is no flying snow falling plums, it will not show the charm of spring light; if there are plums and snow and no poetry, it will also make people feel indecent. Therefore, only the combination of the three can form the most beautiful spring color.
Therefore, in this poem, we can not only see the poet's obsessive spirit and elegant aesthetic taste of snow appreciation, plum appreciation, and bard poetry. And you can appreciate the poet's implicit meaning in writing this poem: things are divided into two, there are strengths and weaknesses; things are also interconnected and influence each other. Therefore, we need to look at things from a holistic, interconnected perspective in order to work, study and live better.
