1, Appreciating Peony by Liu Yuxi in Tang Dynasty: The peony demon in front of the court was unqualified, and the lotus flowers on the pond were pure and affectionate. Only the peony is the real beauty, which attracted countless people to appreciate at the flowering stage and alarmed the whole Chang 'an City. The peony in front of the courtyard is enchanting and gorgeous but lacks bone feeling, and the lotus in the pool is elegant and clean but lacks emotion. Only peony is the true national color of Tian Zi. In the flowering season, it attracted countless people to appreciate and shocked the whole capital.

Theme: This poem is a work of praising peony, and the way of praise is to suppress others and promote the book. The poet does not describe the beauty of peony from the front, but writes peony from the side. Although the poet did not forget to praise the beautiful side of peony and lotus, he highlighted the beauty of peony.

2. Song Chen's Ode to Peony: Once you enter the Han Pass, ten years are long. Years have made me old. Today, I am alone, wandering on the green pier by the spring breeze stream and enjoying the blooming peony. Ten years later, looking back at my hometown Luoyang, there is still a long way to go home without hope. As an old man in a foreign land, Long Zhong thought of the peony in Luoyang when he saw the peony blooming by the Qingdun River. He can only stand alone in the spring breeze and watch quietly.

Theme: In this poem, the author seems to be looking at the green peony in full bloom in spring, but what he actually wants to say is when I can go back to my hometown to see the world-famous Luoyang peony.

However, when I think of the present situation, time passes relentlessly, and I am old and senile. However, when our country is still broken and the homeland is still difficult to return to, the author strongly expresses his deep and endless yearning for the homeland and his hopelessness and sorrow for the future through peony.
