What's the difference between Wang Anshi's plum blossom and the vase plum blossom in Tan's poems?

Meihua Wang Song Anshi

There are some plums in the corner, and cold ling opens them alone.

I knew from a distance that it wasn't snow, because there was a smell coming.

The poet described the purity and beauty of plum blossom with snow by appreciating its noble character of not being afraid of cold, and pointed out that plum blossom has a "dark fragrance" more than snow, which shows the great charm of a strong and noble personality. In the extremely complicated and difficult situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, the author actively reformed without support, and his lonely mentality and difficult situation naturally had something in common with Meihua. This little poem has profound implications, and the sentences are simple and natural, without any traces of carving.

Tan Yuanchun of Pingmei Ming Dynasty

It was put in the bottle for more than ten days, but it was too late to open it. If you don't borrow the spring breeze, there will be no rain at night.

Fragrance comes from purity, and rhyme comes from loneliness. The trees in the mountains are still unknown to tourists.

Tan's Beauty in a Bottle mainly uses the method of comparison to compare the beauty in a bottle with the beauty in a mountain. The plum blossom in the bottle bloomed late, but it blossomed after all. Although it is not like the spring breeze and rainy night in Shan Mei, plum blossom is lonely in the bottle, but it adds charm because of loneliness. In particular, the poet's last couplet, "A tree in a mountain, a tourist or a nameless one." The poet prefers bottled plums to Shan Mei.
