Allusions in Spring Poems

Allusions in Zhu's Spring Day;

Surabaya actually refers to Confucius here, because in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius set up an altar between Zhu and Si to give lectures and teach his disciples. The so-called chasing incense also refers to chasing sages. Because Confucius saints have 72 sages and 3,000 disciples, the diversity of colors also symbolizes the prosperity and richness of Confucianism.

From this point of view, this poem is a pun, which not only shows the poet's search for fragrance in spring, but also praises the prosperity of Confucianism. By extension, it is also a very good philosophical poem. Because Confucius once traveled around the world, but he ran into a wall everywhere, he finally gave up the idea of politics and devoted himself to education and teaching. The development of Confucianism is also full of twists and turns, and it is not easy to carry it forward in the end.

Therefore, as long as it is achieved through some twists and turns and efforts, we can all describe it as "colorful is always spring". However, although it is the result that idle people can see, it is not that idle people can withstand hard training.

Appreciation of the whole poem:

Literally, this poem seems to describe the impression of a spring outing, but the place to look for fragrance is the shore of Surabaya, which was occupied by Jin people in the Song Dynasty. Zhu has never been to the north, and of course it is impossible to swim to Surabaya in spring. In fact, the word "Surabaya" in the poem alludes to Confucius, because in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius had sung a string of songs between Zhu and Si to teach his disciples.

Therefore, the so-called "seeking incense" refers to the way of seeking saints. Boundless Scenery has a vast performance space, which reveals the poet's original intention of seeking the Holy Way through movies. "East wind" is a metaphor for enlightenment, and "colorful" is a metaphor for the richness of Confucianism.

The poet compares the sage's way to the spring breeze that pushes the machine and ignites everything. This is actually a philosophical poem by the richest man, which combines reason with interest in the image. It is Zhu's genius to write philosophical poems without revealing traces.
