The good lines of the second translation of the gift from the younger brother of the taste analysis

1. The sound of the wind is so strong, and the pine branches are so vigorous.

-These two lines carry on the idea of Confucius that "it is cold and then we know that the pine and cypress will wither after the year", and encourage his younger brother to learn from the pine and cypress, and that the more miserable the wind is, the more the pine and cypress will stand up in the wind.

2. The pines and cypresses have their own nature.

--The use of the phrase "the pine and cypress have their own nature" is actually a kind of "comparison of virtue". The so-called "compare virtue" is to use things in the natural world to compare the moral realm of human beings, so as to further arouse people's personality realm of self-improvement. Ancient Chinese scholars liked to use pine, bamboo, plum and chrysanthemum to compare their character. Here, Liu Zhen uses pine and cypress as a metaphor to encourage his cousin to be chaste and self-respecting, not to change his nature due to external oppression, and to call on people to have a firm pursuit of character in a chaotic world. Liu Zhen's poems are strong and upright, outstanding. Cao Pi said, "His five-character poems are so good that they are outstanding among the people of the time. The three poems in this collection are his masterpieces, and the second one is especially famous in the world.

"Gift to my younger brother" (the second) seems to be an aria, but in fact, it is a statement of ambition, borrowing the strength of the green pine, the chastity of the clear ambition. The whole poem is from the surface to the inside, and from this to the other, the moral is far-reaching, and the atmosphere is strong and vulgar.

The first two lines of the poem are about the pine's purity and the sound of the wind forcing people to be vigilant. Pavilion" to mark the pine's proud posture, with "Thistle" to imitate the piercing sound of the wind. Shadow painting sound, tube clean and vivid. And "valley" against the "mountain", more prominent in the center of the poem of the pride of the pine. The first two lines are based on objective description, while the third and fourth lines strengthen the atmosphere of lyricism. Moreover, the conflict between the seemingly unrelated pine and the wind rises suddenly, which makes the listener's heart startled and the viewer's face open. The two words "a why" emphasize the intensity of the poet's feelings, and the two words "vigorous" and "strong" show the intensity of the conflict and the poet's emotional tendency. The third line of the poem follows the second line, the fourth line echoes the first line, the chapter is dense, unfolding in an orderly manner.

Five or six lines, from the fierce wind to the cold frost, from the pine branches of the strong and broadened to the year-round always upright, more and more show the environment of the harshness and the characteristics of the pine cold and wither not. The mood of the poem is extraordinarily far-reaching, and the tone of the poem is even more tragic and sublime. The contrast between the pine tree and the environment is also more distinct, and the value of the character of the pine tree is also more prominent.

The last two lines change the syntax and end with a powerful question and answer. From the outside to the inside, from the surface to the depths, the poet has made the reader look at the inner nature of the pine tree from the external appearance of the pine tree to the inner nature of the pine tree, thus showing that the reason why the pine tree is not afraid of the wind and cold is because of the chastity of the high moral character.

The whole poem is centered on the pine tree and is written in a concentrated and compact manner. Repeatedly chanting, but not flat monotonous. The words are simple and unadorned, and the bones of the poem are strong and powerful. Instead of focusing on the details of the brushwork, the poem is characterized by a deeper penetration into the core of things.

This poem is called "Gift to My Brother", but there is not a single word about brotherhood. However, we can feel the deep love and long friendship, and we can share the same heart with the poet. This is because the poet has used symbolism, using the pine tree to symbolize his own interest, sentiment and hope. Natural things are originally self-generated and have nothing to do with people. However, once the poet injects his affectionate eyes into the landscape, trees, wind, frost, thunder and lightning, and collides with certain characteristics of nature that are common to human beings, a touching spark will break out. This kind of symbolism was used by Qu Yuan before Liu Zhen, but after Liu Zhen, it is even more common, and forms one of the traditional characteristics of classical Chinese poetry.

Liu Zhen's inner feelings would have been easily exposed if he had written directly, so he borrowed the pine tree's purity to imply his feelings, to encourage himself, and to encourage his younger brother as well.
