Yuan Dynasty: Wang Mian

The first tree in my Xiyan Lake is light ink.

Don't praise the good color, as long as it is clear and full of dried Kun.

Translation:

There is a plum tree in Xiyan Lake near my home. Plum blossoms in full bloom seem to be stained with a touch of ink.

It doesn't need others to praise how beautiful the color is, just need to diffuse the fragrance between heaven and earth.

My home: my home. Because Wang Xizhi and Wang Mian share the same surname, Wang Mian thinks that Wang Xing is a family.

Xiyan Lake: a pool for washing pens and inkstones after writing and drawing.

Pool head: by the pool. Head: On the side.

Light ink: In ink painting, there are four kinds of ink colors, such as clear ink, light ink, thick ink and Jiao Mo. What is said here is that the plum blossoms are dotted with faint ink.

Mark: A mark.

Creative background:

This poem was written in about nine to ten years from Yuan Shundi to Zheng Zheng (1349- 1350). Wang Mian returned to Shaoxing after a long-distance roaming, and there was a plum blossom house in Jiulishan, Huiji, claiming to be the owner of the plum blossom house. This poem is written here. At this time, on the eve of the peasant uprising at the end of Yuan Dynasty, facing the insoluble contradictions in real life, the author wrote this poem emotionally.

Appreciate:

This is a poem. Poets praise Mo Mei and Dont Ask For Help, just to leave a fragrance of virtue to the world. In fact, he used Mei as a metaphor to express his attitude towards life and his noble sentiment of not being kitsch.

The first two sentences, "The first tree in my family, Xiyan Lake, is blooming with faint ink marks", which directly describes Mo Mei. In the painting, the plum trees by the pond are in full bloom, and the plum blossoms are stained with a faint ink color. "West Wild Goose Lake" is the allusion of Wang Xizhi's "middle school books in the pool, and the water in the pool is all black".

Three or four sentences praise Mo Mei's moral integrity. It is painted in light ink, although its appearance is not exquisite, it has a beautiful, noble and dignified, secluded and detached inner temperament; It doesn't want to attract people, please people and get people's praise with bright colors. It just wants to send out a fragrance and let it stay between heaven and earth. These two sentences are the poet's self-portrayal. Wang Mian grew up in a poor family, herding cattle during the day and studying hard under the ever-burning lamps of Buddhist temples at night. Finally, he learned a lot. He is good at poetry and painting, and he is versatile. However, he tried every time and didn't want to curry favor with the powerful, so he decided to gain fame and fortune, live in seclusion in Jiulishan, East Zhejiang, and draw rice for a living. The phrase "don't boast of his lewdness, just leave one breath to dry Kun" shows the poet's vulgar, independent and unrequited character.

This poem, titled Mo Mei, is intended to express one's ambition. The poet organically integrates painting style, poetic style and personality. Literally praising plum blossoms is actually appreciating the virtue of a person standing.

In this poem, a "light" and a "full" have their own personalities. On the one hand, the richness of Mo Mei and the image of the poet's pride are vividly on the paper; On the other hand, it makes people feel that the fragrance of calligraphy and plum blossoms seems to come to their faces. Thus, the "poetic style", "painting style" and personality are skillfully integrated.

"Mo Mei" praises the noble character of plum blossom, and the poet also expresses his feelings by using things as a metaphor to show his attitude towards life and noble sentiment. Some people think that this poem is even more famous in the history of art than Memetu itself, which indicates the creative intention and emphasizes moral interest.
