Why did Yang Wanli write "Xugong Store, Suxin City"

The fence is sparse and one foot deep,

The flowers on the treetops have not yet formed shade.

The children hurriedly chased the yellow butterfly.

It flew into the cauliflower and was nowhere to be found.

Author

Yang Wanli (1127-1206), Han nationality, named Tingxiu and Chengzhai. A native of Jishui, Jizhou (now Jishui County, Jiangxi Province). An outstanding poet in the Song Dynasty. He became a Jinshi in the 24th year of Shaoxing (1154). He was granted the title of Sihu in Ganzhou and later transferred to the position of Prime Minister of Lingling County in Yongzhou. He met Zhang Jun who was relegated to Yongzhou and received much encouragement and instruction from him. After Xiaozong ascended the throne, Zhang Jun became prime minister and recommended Wanli as a professor in Lin'an Prefecture. Before taking office, his father died. After serving his term, he changed his name to Fengxin County. In the sixth year of Qiandao (1170), he was appointed Doctor of Guozi and began to serve as a capital official. Soon he moved to Taichang Cheng and became a young general. In the first year of Chunxi (1174), he was sent to Zhangzhou and changed to Changzhou. In the sixth year, he promoted tea salt in Changping, Guangdong, suppressed Shen Shi's uprising army, and was promoted to Tidian Prison in Guangdong. Soon after, his mother died and he left his post. He was called back to be a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wai Lang, and was promoted to a doctor. In May of the twelfth year (1185), he responded to the imperial edict with an earthquake. He discussed ten current affairs, advised Xiao Zonggu to put aside urgent matters and concentrate on preparing for enemies. He resolutely opposed some people's suggestions of abandoning the Huaihe River and retreating. Bao Yangjiang's suggestion of harming the country advocated the selection of talents and active preparation for war. The following year, he was appointed Privy Council Prosecutor and Prince's Attendant. In the fourteenth year (1187), he was moved to the post of Secretary Shaojian. After Emperor Gaozong died, Wanli fought hard for Zhang Jun to be worthy of the temple sacrifices and accused Hong Mai of "referring to a deer as a horse", which angered Emperor Xiaozong and sent him to Junzhou (today's Gao'an, Jiangxi). Guangzong ascended the throne and was called secretary supervisor. In the first year of Shaoxi (1190), he served as the envoy to the Kingdom of Jin and the reviewer of the Record Academy. In the end, Xiaozong was dissatisfied with him and became the deputy envoy to Jiangdong. The imperial court wanted to carry out iron money in the counties south of the Yangtze River, but Wanli thought it would be inconvenient for the people, so he refused to obey the edict, disobeyed the prime minister's wishes, and changed his name to Ganzhou. Wan Li saw that his ambition could not be realized, so he did not take up his post. He begged for a ancestral official position (he had no actual official position, only received a ancestral salary, which was equivalent to retirement) and returned. In the second year of Kaixi (1206), he died of grief and anger because he hated Han Zhouxuan for misusing power and ruining the country. He eventually became a scribe in Baomo Pavilion and was given the posthumous title of "Wenjie".

Yang Wanli advocated the war of resistance throughout his life and opposed surrender. In many "letters", "policies" and "notes" to the emperor, he repeatedly stated the country's ills and denounced the mistake of surrender and the patriotism. Love is beyond words. He was an upright and upright official, and tried his best not to disturb the people. The poet Xu Ji at the time praised him as "as clean as water, but poor but with gold" ("Tou Yang Chengzhai"). After his term as deputy envoy to Jiangdong was completed, he should have had a surplus of ten thousand yuan, but he abandoned it all in the official treasury and returned without taking any money. He was upright and upright, spoke out when things happened, pointed out the ills of the times, and had no scruples, so he was never of great use. In fact, he did not bother to seek promotion when he was an official. When he was a Beijing official, he was ready to be dismissed at any time. Therefore, he prepared the travel expenses home from Hangzhou in advance, locked them in a box, hid them in his bedroom, and warned his family not to buy them. I am afraid that my luggage will be cumbersome when I leave my job and return to my hometown. Later, during the fifteen years when he was idle and at home, when Han Yuzhou was in charge of the government, Han Xinjian Nanyuan asked him to write a "note" and promised to reward him with a high-ranking official. Wan Li refused to write, saying that "the official can be abandoned, but the 'note' cannot" "Zhizhi several things, you can imagine his character. The poet Ge Tianmin praised him as "a spine as iron as a heart as stone" (see "Collections of the Sages of the Southern Song Dynasty. Collection of Ge Wuhuai"), which is not a posthumous compliment.

Simple analysis

Chengyin: Fences and paths indicate that this is a rural area; "the flowers have fallen before they become yin" and the "cauliflower" in the conclusion both indicate that this is the late spring season.

The last two sentences, "Children hurriedly chased yellow butterflies, flying into cauliflowers and nowhere to be found."

"Flying into the cauliflower and finding nowhere" suddenly turns the moving shot into stillness.
