Appreciation of peony

It's hard to open the door with smoke in your eyes, so be careful with sandalwood in the red core. See you under the light when you're drunk,

Beauty looks in the mirror. The spring breeze in court is expensive, and the country with rain is cold.

What will happen at night? Too weak to be reliable. Luo Yin's poems about objects are famous poems about peony in ancient times.

"It is difficult to open the door when it is full of smoke. Hong Rui should be careful with sandalwood." The first two sentences of the poem say: peony flowers bloom in the garden, but fog covers them, which seems to be rare to grow; As far as open flowers are concerned, the petals are pink, and when they are wrapped by crimson stamens, they look very beautiful. These two sentences are generally about the appearance of peony. The poet is not completely confined to the description of its shape and color, but puts it in the natural environment and writes its intuitive impression. It is bright and colorful, but it is wrapped in a layer of clouds, such as the beauty in the veil, which is more attractive.

"See you under the drunk lamp, beauty looks in the mirror." The first sentence is to write peony in a bottle; The last sentence is to write peony inserted in the beauty's sideburns. What you see in the drunken eyes and what you see in the mirror are not true. In the eyes of those rich boys and lovely girls, this peony can really be regarded as a "rich flower" and a "king of flowers" in their golden jars and colorful clouds, but it is not in line with the nature of flowers.

"I began to feel that the spring breeze court is expensive, and I only know the beauty of the country when I bring rain." "Spring breeze is precious in court", this sentence is about peony in the yard. In other words, only by planting it in the yard can it show its charm, even make the spring breeze more pleasant, and let the spring really show its moving appearance. The ancients said: "butterflies come with the wind, and people are bored when they go to the moon." Butterflies can show the beauty of spring breeze, especially peony flowers. "Knowing the national color is cold in the rain" means writing peony in the rain. Peony is called "the flower of wealth" because of its colorful flowers, not because of the golden urn and green temple of the rich. It can not only make nature more beautiful, but also show various postures and good temperament in the changes of nature. In the Tang dynasty, when the concept of gate valve was serious, "cold" was always associated with "micro" However, "cold" can also show a harsh and strong nature. After a baptism of wind and rain, the green leaves are greener, the red petals are more vivid, and the branches are also clanking. "The spring breeze in court is expensive, and the national color is cold and only brings rain". These two sentences describe the strong quality and extraordinary tolerance of peony. However, the profound meaning of these two sentences can only be appreciated in comparison with "A beauty looks in the mirror under a drunken lamp". The words "beginning" and "square" reveal the poet's intention to make a comparison. However, the turning point of meaning is natural; Generally speaking, the four sentences in couplets are written in parallel to describe the peony in the bottle, on the temple, in the yard and in the rain. They are carefully appreciated, which has both positive and negative significance.

"What will it be like at night? The railing is too weak. " Is the beauty of Yang Guifei as a metaphor (Yang Yuhuan was named "too true" when she was a female Taoist). These two sentences are written about peony after a day of sun exposure, like a delicate, lazy and fragile beauty. But on the other hand, the function of these two poems is to arouse people's association with Li Bai's three poems "Please Tune". Li Bai's poems were written by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei while enjoying the peony. The last two poems link peony with Yang Guifei, "indicating infinite hatred, and the agarwood pavilion leans against the railing in the north". The last two sentences of Luo Yin's poems expand the associative scope of Li Bai's poems and let readers know the beauty of peony from the time and historical coordinates.

This poem describes the beauty of peony, not only the description of flowers and leaves. On the one hand, it focuses on the living environment of peony, on the other hand, it focuses on the expression of its spiritual temperament. The combination of the two makes it seem that what is written in the poem is not pure flowers, but also shows a person's mental outlook. The first couplet summarizes its intuition, and the last couplet takes beauty as a metaphor, taking care of it before and after. Among them, the two couplets seem to write four living environments of peony side by side, but in fact, there are two positive and negative situations, which are nuanced, endless in meaning and rich in imagination.
