An Analysis of Fan Zhongyan's Poem Nine Days.

September 9th is the Double Ninth Festival. On this day, people climb high and wear dogwood to ward off evil spirits. When the poet saw a dogwood, he seemed to be fighting for beauty. He thought of writing a poem about the Double Ninth Festival like many sages, so he first thought of Song Yu and Tao Qian. Facing autumn, Song Yu is full of sadness. She once lamented in "Nine Debates" that "autumn sorrow is anger!" However, Tao Yuanming drank too much, and he was not particularly sad about autumn, which can be extended to two different attitudes towards life. Fan Zhongyan obviously appreciates Tao Qian's free and easy detachment.

Although I admire Tao Qian's detachment, the injustice in the poet's heart has not been eliminated. Beautiful young people like to change themselves with the changes of the surrounding scenery, but chrysanthemums can persist in welcoming first frost in full bloom in the cold autumn. This is the contrast between two personalities. Appearance does not represent character. Fortunately, there are people as good as chrysanthemums in the world.

Since it is the Double Ninth Festival, of course, we should climb mountains, insert dogwood and drink a lot. When we came back, we were already drunk, singing wildly, unrestrained and drunk. Li Bai was also like this. "Xiangyang Song" wrote that "Xiangyang children put their hands together and stopped to sing white brass cymbals." Others asked them what they were laughing at, and Shan Weng died of laughter. "That should be a kind of comfortable demeanor that Fan Zhongyan deeply admired at that time, a tribute to the poet's past, and a kind of confidence and wildness. -transferred from Li Liang Studio.
