Here is the meaning of chrysanthemum, but to figure out the feelings contained.

The recluse's transcendence

Most of the ancient poets had the ambition to serve the country, but the reality was often not as good as it should be. Many poets in the frustration, feel that the world is not as good as desired, and by the influence of the Taoist philosophy of freedom, sent to the mountains and forests, longing for a pure and undisputed life, so the chrysanthemum also has the image of the hermit. There are many poems in this category, such as: Meng Haoran's "Passing the Old Man's Village", "The old man has chicken and millet, and invites me to the field house. I was invited to the field house. The green trees were by the side of the village, and the green hills were beyond the slanting Guo. I was invited to the house of the deceased with chicken and millet. On the day of Chung Yeung, I will come back to the chrysanthemums." In this poem, the chrysanthemum is far from the world, the hermit life of self-appreciation, but also the poet is clean, high standards of personality sentiment of the mapping.

The chrysanthemum is known as the "hermit of flowers", which is mainly attributed to Tao Yuanming, a famous hermit and idyllic poet of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is reported that Tao Yuanming served as the county magistrate of Pengze, not willing to bend over for the five buckets of rice, the ribbon to return to the hometown, the return to the countryside, suitable for the feelings of the foot Zhi, in pursuit of the true nature of the temperament, and lived a life of "hitting the soil to enjoy themselves", and became a hermit in the eyes of the later generations of writers model. He loved chrysanthemums and used their elegance and stubbornness to conduct himself as a gentleman, and wrote many famous pieces about chrysanthemums. The famous lines of "picking chrysanthemums under the east hedge, leisurely seeing the south mountain" and "forgetting this worrying thing, far away from my worldly feelings" can be regarded as the classics of chrysanthemum poems. The poet combines feelings, scenery and rational interest into one, and the reader seems to witness the unrestrained mood of a sincere and quiet person who enjoys the joy of the garden, and feels the beautiful realm of nature and naturalness. He also wrote in the poem "and Guo book": the chrysanthemums in the forest, the pine crowns the rock columns, with this chaste and beautiful posture, outstanding for the frost under the Jie. The poet highly appreciated the "frost under the Jie", to the chrysanthemum character and temperament of self-motivation, the descendants of the Tao Yuanming have this do not care about glory and profit, the aspiration of the hidden character, respectfully referred to him as Mr. Jingjie.

If most of the chrysanthemum literature before Tao Yuanming stayed in the description of chrysanthemum appearance and function, then from Tao Yuanming onwards, chrysanthemum literature gradually turned to the praise of chrysanthemum's inner qualities. The chrysanthemum's proud, unassuming, and unyielding character matched the qualities of the traditional literati's ideal personality, such as purity, indifference, and stubbornness, and it became a fixed symbol of the hermit culture, and the chrysanthemum became the embodiment of the hermit. Chrysanthemum poetry is often used in the "Tao Ling, Dongli, white people send wine" and other allusions to Tao Yuanming, but also with chrysanthemum imagery into one.
