Talk about the reason why the chrysanthemum in the "Bird's Nest" fills the author's heart with softness and warmth.

Not that chrysanthemums are more popular among flowers,

This flower is even more flowerless

Autumn silk surrounds the house like a Potter,

It leans around the fence.

Not that chrysanthemums are more popular among flowers,

This flower is even more flowerless

Chrysanthemum is not as rich as peony, nor as precious as orchid, but as the flower of Ao Shuang, it has always been favored by people. Some people praise its strong character, while others appreciate its noble temperament. Yuan Zhen's poems about chrysanthemums show his reasons for loving chrysanthemums in a new way.

In general, I want to talk about the loveliness of chrysanthemums. However, the poet did not list adjectives such as "hanging the moon with a golden hook", nor did he describe the scene of striving for beauty. Instead, a metaphor is used ── "Autumn silk is like a Potter". Clusters of chrysanthemums open around the house, as if they were in Tao Yuanming's home. Autumn bushes are clumps of autumn chrysanthemums. Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty loved chrysanthemums most, and chrysanthemums were planted everywhere in his home. "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" ("Drinking") is his famous sentence. Comparing the place where chrysanthemums are planted here to "Tao Jia", it is not difficult to imagine that autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom in the courtyard. How can such a beautiful chrysanthemum scene not be intoxicating? As a result, the poet "gradually inclined to fence", completely attracted by the chrysanthemum in front of him, absorbed in watching the fence, and did not even know that the sun was setting in the west. "Wandering" and "Sunset" truly show the poet's fascination with chrysanthemum appreciation and linger, and render the atmosphere of loving chrysanthemum.

Why are poets so obsessed with chrysanthemums? Three or four sentences explain why I like chrysanthemums: "It's not that chrysanthemums are favored among flowers, but that this flower has no flowers." Chrysanthemum is the latest flower to wither. Once chrysanthemums are exhausted, there will be no flowers to enjoy, and people's love for flowers will naturally focus on chrysanthemums. Therefore, as a post-withered person, it is uniquely cherished by people. The poet draws a profound truth from the natural phenomenon that chrysanthemums wither at the latest in the four seasons, answers the reasons for loving chrysanthemums and expresses the poet's special love for chrysanthemums. This, of course, also includes the praise of the steadfast character of chrysanthemum after weathering and withering.

This poem excavates unusual poetry from the common theme of chanting chrysanthemums, gives people new inspiration, and appears novel and natural, unconventional. In writing, the brushwork is also very clever. The first two sentences write the real scene of enjoying chrysanthemums and render the atmosphere of loving chrysanthemums as a foreshadowing; The third sentence is a transition with sharp brushwork, and the last sentence is a beautiful sentence, which further opens up the realm of beauty and enhances the artistic appeal of this little poem.
