Brief analysis:

It is generally believed that this is a poem describing a spring outing. Judging from the scenery written in the poem, it is also very similar.

The first sentence is "winning the sun to find the fragrance of Surabaya", and "winning the sun" refers to sunny days, indicating the weather. "Surabaya" indicates the location. "Looking for fragrance" means looking for beautiful spring scenery and pointing out the theme. The following three sentences are what you saw when you wrote "Looking for Incense". The second sentence, "boundless scenery is new for a while", is about the initial impression gained by watching spring scenery. Use "boundless" to describe all the scenery in front of you. "A Moment of Novelty" not only describes the return of spring to the earth, the natural scenery is brand-new, but also describes the refreshing joy of the author during his outing. The word "knowledge" in the third sentence inherits the word "search" in the first sentence. "You can easily know" means that the features and features of spring are easy to recognize. "East wind" refers to spring. The fourth sentence, "colorful is always spring", means that this colorful scene is made up of spring, and people know spring from this colorful scene. This specifically answers why we can "wait for the east wind". The "colorful" in this sentence also takes care of the "new situation" in the second sentence. The third sentence and the fourth sentence describe the new situation and the gains from finding incense in vivid language.

Literally, this poem seems to express the feelings of visiting spring, but the place to look for fragrance is the Surabaya coast occupied by Jin people when they crossed the Song Dynasty a long time ago. 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 implies Confucius, because in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius taught his disciples with string songs between Zhu and Si. Therefore, the so-called "seeking incense" refers to the way of seeking saints. "Colorful" is a metaphor for the richness of Confucianism. The poet compares the sage's way to the spring breeze, which promotes the occurrence of opportunities and touches everything. This is actually a philosophical poem by the richest man, which combines reason with interest in the image.

Appreciate:

Explore the beautiful scenery of Surabaya, and the infinite scenery will be completely new. You can easily recognize the demon face of Dongfeng, and colorful eyes are fragrant spring.

Appreciation of famous sentences-"Spring is always colorful."

The first sentence points out the season and place of travel, and the last three sentences write what you have seen and known about "Seeking Fragrance". When spring returns to the earth, the poet is full of energy. It is this fresh feeling that makes the poet understand the east wind. As if the east wind blew away colorful flowers overnight; And the scene of a hundred flowers blooming, isn't it a vibrant spring? The poet deepened from "seeking" to "knowing", and the word "new" dominated the whole poem. But Surabaya is in Shandong, and Confucius once gave lectures and preached on the shore of Surabaya; In the Southern Song Dynasty, this place had fallen into the hands of the State of Jin. Why did Zhu go for a spring outing? It turns out that this is a philosophical poem. "Surabaya" in the poem is a metaphor for Confucius, "seeking incense" is a metaphor for the sage's way, "Dongfeng" is a metaphor for enlightenment, and "Spring" is a metaphor for benevolence advocated by Confucius. If these meanings are written in philosophical lecture-style language, it will inevitably be boring. This poem, however, melts philosophy into vivid images, leaving no trace of reasoning. This is the genius of Zhu.
