What kind of feelings is expressed in Lu You's Yongmei?

This word takes plum blossom as the theme, and uses Yongmei's bitterness to vent his anguish and lament the ups and downs of life; The spirit of praise also expresses the belief of youth without regrets and his self-commitment to patriotism and noble personality.

Lu You's "Yongmei" in the Southern Song Dynasty, the original text is:

Outside the bridge, the plum blossoms are lonely, no matter what. It's dusk. I'm alone. It's windy and rainy.

Plum blossoms don't want to compete for blooming, and the envy and rejection of flowers don't care. Even after autumn, when it is ground into dirt and turned into dust, plum blossoms still emit fragrance as usual.

Translation:

Outside the posthouse, the bridge is broken, and the plum blossoms are lonely. It was sunset and dusk, and she was sad and kept beating her.

She doesn't want to occupy Chunfang at all, let all flowers bloom and slander her. Even though she fell to the ground piece by piece, crushed into pieces, and crushed into dust and mud, Qingfen remained in the world forever.

Creative background:

Lu You loved plum blossom all his life and regarded it as the spiritual carrier of praise. In his works, plum blossom has become a symbol of unyielding image. Yongmei is the representative of Mei Jizhi, and his plum blossoms "are scattered into mud and ground into dust, with only one fragrance", which is an image portrayal of the poet's spirit of unremitting struggle against evil forces throughout his life and his unswerving character of ideals.

Appreciate:

The first article of Ci focuses on Mei's lonely and miserable situation. This situation of internal and external troubles and physical and mental damage pushed the misfortune of plum blossom to the extreme. The experience of wild plum is also a portrayal of the author's past life, and he devoted his efforts. In the sentence "Loneliness without the owner", the author pours his feelings into the objective scenery.

The next movie is about the soul and life and death of plum blossom. No matter what the public opinion is, plum blossom should be constantly changing, just seeking the sublimation and purity of the soul, and its character will remain in the world forever like its fragrance. These two sentences show Lu Wei's aloof personality, never interacting with flatterers, and also show his pride of not being afraid of slander and being loyal and self-controlled.
