From the poem "Xiao Mei in the Mountain Garden" written by Lin Bu, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, the original poem is "All fragrant people shake off their beauty and occupy a small garden." Mottled shadows hang obliquely on the clear shallow water, and their fragrance spreads peacefully in the moonlight evening. "Cold birds want to fly, first peek at plum blossoms; Butterflies will be enchanting if they know the beauty of plum blossoms. Fortunately, there is a slight rhyme to talk about, and there is no need for a golden statue. " These two poems vividly depict the image of plum blossom beside a small pond in the sunset garden: the clear pool water in the mountain garden sets off the sparseness of plum branches, and the dim moonlight at dusk sets off the quietness and remoteness of plum fragrance. The author did not write plum directly, but through the faint "thin shadow" of plum blossoms by the pool and the quiet "dark fragrance" of plum blossoms in the moonlight. However, plum branches and plum shadows set each other off, and the dim moonlight set each other off with a faint fragrance. The two novel images of "thin shadow" and "delicate fragrance" clearly and subtly show the beautiful, noble and dignified, quiet and tranquil temperament charm of plum blossom. Because these two poems perfectly capture and convey the soul of plum blossom, they become synonymous with plum blossom and become the most popular sentences in the poems of Yongmei, a poet of past dynasties. Jiang Kui and Yongmei were famous poets in the late Tang Dynasty, who wrote two famous poems, Dim Xiang and Shu Ying. Chen's poem "Mo Mei Sui Zhang" wrote: "The West Lake reads poetry and looks at the quiet posture by the water every year. Clear the window and draw a horizontal oblique shadow, which is better than a thousand villages of night snow. " He thinks that Lin Bu's poems have overshadowed all Mei's poems written by predecessors such as the Tang Dynasty, "Qiancun, a branch blossomed last night".
Lu Meipo, Xue Mei,
For the sake of spring, Xue Mei refused to surrender, and the poet stopped writing and began to comment on this chapter. The snow in Mei Xu Xun is white, but it has lost the fragrance of Mei Duan.
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.
Momei
Wang Mian Garden
The first tree in my family, Xiyan Lake, is full of flowers and light ink marks.
Don't boast about the good color, just let the air be full of dried Kun.

comment
This is a poem. Mo Mei is the plum blossom of ink painting. 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 Xiyan Lake, my home, is full of pale 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". The poet has the same surname as Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in Jin Dynasty, so he says "my home".
Three or four sentences praise Mo Mei's moral integrity. It is painted in light ink, and although its appearance is not exquisite, it has a beautiful, noble and dignified, secluded and detached inner temperament; 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 be rich and famous, and lived in seclusion in Jiulishan, East Zhejiang, drawing rice for a living. The phrase "don't be praised by lewdness, just stay dry for nothing" shows the poet's character of disdain, independence and self-appreciation.
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.
