Translation

The world is covered with snow and silver. In this silver world, a winter plum tree is dotted among them. The plum branches covered with snow and hanging frozen are crystal clear, and the plum blossoms pinned to the branches are plump and beautiful. It is from the plum blossoms blooming proudly in the snow that people know that spring is coming. The plum blossoms are in bloom, delicate and beautiful, and their fragrance is astonishing, just like a beauty who has just taken a bath and put on new makeup in the courtyard.

Nature may also have a preference. She loves this delicate plum blossom as a foil, which makes the moonlight so bright, clear, exquisite and translucent, spreading all over the earth. Let's raise a glass and drink happily. On this beautiful night with the full moon and white snow, we can taste wine and appreciate the plum blossoms, and get drunk before resting. You know, among all the flowers, no one is inferior to plum blossoms. Appreciation

This is a poem praising plum blossoms. The first film is about the early blooming of winter plum blossoms. He Xun's "Early Plum Blossoms in Yangzhou": "The preface of the Rabbit Garden, the plum blossoms are the most important when you are surprised. When you hold the frost in your hair, your hair will be exposed, and it will bloom against the snow." Plum blossoms bloom at the turn of winter and spring, and they are the most awakening time for people. Awareness gives people new hope. So it is considered as the primrose flower. Because plum blossoms bloom against the snow in the cold weather, poets always use ice and snow as the spatial background when praising plum blossoms. Yu Xin's poem "Ode to Plum Blossoms": "In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the plum blossoms have already faded. If you don't believe it, this spring evening will come to see them all in the snow. The trees are moving and the ice is falling, and the branches are high and cold..." Here, "Qiongzhi" refers to the overgrown branches. Plum branches covered with snow. Half-opened winter plums adorn it, making it look brighter and moister. The poet then uses a beautiful woman who is "still holding a pipa, half-hiding her face" to describe the lightness and beauty of the unopened plums, and uses the jade figure to describe the pure and icy plums, which are bright and beautiful: that is, things are people, and plums have merged with people. Became one piece.

The next piece is used for side rendering. Plum blossoms are best viewed under the moon, as the creation is intentional, so the moonlight is exquisite and clear, making the faint fragrance float and the sparse shadows slant horizontally. On this good night, prepare golden bottles and green ants, and get drunk in front of the flowers. Green ants, foam on wine noodles. Bai Juyi's "Ask Liu Shijiu": "Green ants newly fermented wine, small red clay stove." "Poetry of the Past Dynasties" quoted from "Gu Jun Textual Research": "Green ants, the beauty of wine, generally have floating flowers, and their color is green. "Creative Background According to the chronology of Li Qingzhao attached to the "Collection of Li Qingzhao" published by Shanxi Ancient Books Publishing House, this poem was written in the first year of Jingguo's founding by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (1101), when Li Qingzhao was eighteen years old. Li Qingzhao (March 13, 1084 - May 12, 1155), named Yi An, was a Han nationality and a native of Zhangqiu, Jinan, Shandong Province. She was a female poet in the Song Dynasty (at the turn of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty), a representative of the Wanyue Ci School, and was known as "the most talented woman in the ages." In the early stage of his poems, he wrote mostly about his leisurely life, and in the later stage, he mostly lamented his life experience and had a sentimental mood. In terms of form, he makes good use of line drawing techniques, creates his own channels, and uses clear and beautiful language. The argument emphasizes the law of association, advocates elegance, puts forward the saying "don't be the same family" in lyrics, and opposes writing lyrics in the same way as poetry. He is capable of poetry, but not much remains. Some of his chapters are timely and historical, and his sentimental words are generous, which is different from his style of writing. There are "Collected Works of Yi An" and "Yi An's Ci", which have been lost. Later generations have a compilation of "Shu Yu Ci". Now there is "Li Qingzhao's Collection and Annotations".

Li Qingzhao The long clouds in Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance. I don’t know that the water flowers bloom first, but I suspect that they have not been sold out after the winter snow. After three feet of snow, I return to my dream of old mandarin ducks. Yan Se snow, the pieces are as big as fists. It's windy and snowy in the countryside, and no one is holding the fishing rod melancholy. The gold belt is connected to the robe, and the horse's head rushes through the snow in Lintao. The moon is shining outside the crystal curtain, and there are layers of snow on the pear branches. The new wind blows the snow through the knife scar, and the Great Wall Cave becomes even colder. The scenery of the North is covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles. Last year, in the autumn of Nanshan Mountain, I returned home in a hurry at night, and my fur was covered with snow. I heard the plum blossoms blowing in the morning breeze, and snow piles filled the four mountains. I don’t know if the rain in the courtyard has fallen this morning, but I suspect that the forest flowers bloomed last night. The cold night is not close to Tassel, I just pity him, *** Mei is thin. Although spring is approaching and the cold has turned, the plum blossoms and snow are still floating. There is a strong north wind at dusk, and there is white snow in Xiaoxiang Dongting.
