Han Xiao's four-line poem

1, hibiscus hibiscus in front of the window

Author: Fan Chengda, a poet of Southern Song Dynasty

Hard and lonely flowers break the slight cold, and the flower heart should be as sad as a guest.

It is because of the young woman's check-in that she didn't look at the red and green.

Translation:

Lonely hibiscus is in full bloom despite the slight cold in autumn.

Its inner bitterness should be the same as that of a wanderer living in a foreign country.

Even if hibiscus mutabilis is constantly destroyed by cold, wind and frost,

It will never be as sad as those withered flowers and plants.

2. Snacks on the Ship

Author: Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu

In the cold wind, there is hardly a bite of rice, sitting on the ground, sitting on the ground, the crow is old, sewed many times, and wears a brown hat on his head.

Spring water, rivers, so floating on the boat is like sitting in the clouds; My body is getting weaker and my eyesight is dim. Looking at the flowers on the shore is like a mist.

Translation:

During the slight cold season, I drank some wine and ate some cold food, and sat on the floor, leaning against Wu Piji, who had been worn out many times, wearing a brown hat on his head. Spring has come, the rising tide lifts all boats, and the rivers are vast, floating on the boat is like sitting in the clouds in the sky; I am weak and my eyes are dim. Looking at the flowers and plants on the shore, it seems that there is a layer of mist.

3. "Early Hair under Bamboo"

Author: Song Dynasty poet Fan Chengda.

After morning makeup, I broke a slight cold and chatted wearily through the saddle.

The line is fine and foggy. Look at the overlapping mountains.

Translation:

After getting up in the morning to freshen up, I packed my luggage, broke through the cold of autumn, got into the saddle and set off. This move actually evacuated my tired and stubborn body and relaxed me. Walking, I rushed into the light and thin morning fog; Looking at a mountain is like releasing a mountain from the fog. Looking at another mountain, there is another mountain, and we have passed the mountains and peaks.

Creative background of hibiscus mutabilis by the window

Lotus in front of the window is an impromptu poem. Generally speaking, this kind of poetry is more subjective and random in creation, and it is often an accidental situation that triggers the author's creative passion. The trigger point of this poem is the blooming hibiscus flowers in front of the window, which triggered Fan Chengda's creative passion.

Fan Chengda grew up in the elegy of national subjugation. As a teenager, he lost his parents one after another. He is poor and lonely, which is just like what the poet described as "hard work and solitary flowers". For this reason, when the poet sees the hibiscus flowers in the frosty autumn, it will inevitably remind him of his thoughts.
