works appreciation
The whole poem consists of two freehand brushwork ink paintings.
In the first two sentences, the snow presses the bamboo branches low, and the desire to touch the mud is low, which describes and depicts the shape of the snow-pressed bamboo: in the cold weather of March 9, heavy snow fell and everything withered, only the true color of bamboo remained unchanged, but the snow pressed the bamboo branches down, so that the bamboo leaves almost touched the ground and were contaminated with dirty soil. However, bamboo is low and unyielding, and it has its own tenacious will and unconquerable toughness.
This painting is very cool. The sky is covered with leaden clouds, green branches are seen in the snow, and the black mud is particularly harsh, but the gloomy picture symbolizes the pursuit in adversity.
The last two sentences are the second picture with vernon since the red sun. Even if it snows all over the sky, it will be arrogant, but sometimes, once the red sun rises, the snow will melt. By then, there will be thousands of bamboo forests, holding their heads high and showing their majestic posture, which will be in harmony with the blue sky.
This painting belongs to warm color, the red sun is in the sky, the blue sky is bright and the bamboo is full of vitality. It symbolizes that victory belongs to the strugglers, and setbacks and failures are only temporary. Zhu Yuanzhang's straightforward temperament, saying "harmony with nature", fully demonstrated the imperial spirit of this man who is about to win the world.
This object-chanting poem is simple in picture, bright in color contrast, clear in image, and catchy, almost in folk song style. According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang likes to sit down with Confucian scholars and courtiers to discuss poems, but his own poems are rarely delicate and lingering, showing the charm of "a generation of pride" everywhere.
