中国古典诗人与梅兰竹菊

中国古代的咏物诗,对所咏之物,都有一种特别的看法,这看法象是充分自由的,诗人可以无拘无束的任意挥写。然而,他们的每一种看法,都有庞大的民族文化做其支撑,就像梅兰竹菊,它们的一枝一叶一花一茎其实都涂上了浓厚的民族色彩。诗人歌咏梅兰竹菊,其实是在歌咏诗人本体,因为在梅兰竹菊身上,集中了中国古典诗人全部的穷达观、进退观、显隐观,也承载了我们炎黄子孙几乎所有的美好品质及心灵憧憬。

Plum blossoms, Orchids, and Chrysanthemums in the eyes of Chinese classical Poets

In ancient China, object-chanting poems have special views about the objects chanted. The poets can express their opinions freely. But each of their views is rooted in the enormous national culture. For example, one branch, one leaf , one flower, one spray of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums all pronounce national colour . The poets praise plum blossoms, orchids, and chrysanthemums in order to chant their virtues, because Chinese classical poets' poor-or-rich values, advance-or-retreat values and illustrious-or-obscure values are concentrated on the four things above, which bear almost all the noble characters and yearnings of the descendants of Yan Di and Huang Di.
