Beauty is beauty, and fragrance is for whom. It means that the face is beautiful and the breath is fragrant, which is unprecedented, but who would recommend it? This poem is from the 26th Ancient Style written by Li Bai, a poet in Tang Dynasty. The original poem is as follows:

Bihe gives birth to a quiet spring, and the sunshine in the morning is bright and fresh.

Autumn flowers spit green water and dense leaves are full of smoke.

Beauty is beauty, and the fragrance is passed to whom.

Sit and watch the flying frost fade.

If I don't find the root cause, I would like to believe in the edge of Huachi.

Interpretation of vernacular Chinese: green lotus flowers grow by the quiet spring, and the morning light reflects them brightly. In the clear autumn, hibiscus blooms and rises from the green water, and thick round leaves are covered with plumes of smoke.

Beautiful face, full of fragrance, unparalleled, but who would recommend them? Seeing the autumn frost getting thicker and the autumn wind getting thicker, it is inevitable that the beautiful scenery will fade away. I hope I can grow up in the queen mother's Yaochi, always bright and never fade.

Extended data

Li Bai wrote 59 "archaic" poems, and this is the 26th of them. These fifty-nine poems are not written in one place at a time, so they are not a group of poems in a strict sense. This poem was written at the request of the author not long ago. He is in his forties and has a little white hair on his temples, which deeply moved him.

Poetry consists of ten sentences and fifty words, praising the virtue of chaste people and cherishing their talents, which are useless and out of place. Suggest that their talents are noble by the way of Bichi Furong, and hope to recommend them to the emperor.

This poem has a brisk rhythm and is accomplished in one go. The whole poem takes the lotus as a metaphor, and it is a poem about things. The beauty of lotus is described as "gorgeous" and "fresh". Describe the beauty of lotus from various aspects with "flowers", "leaves", "color" and "fragrance"; With Asahi, Green Water and Green Smoke passing by.

Writing about the failure of lotus, saying "empty" and "withered", implies that he is equally incompetent from lotus, and hopes to be introduced. The words "Mao" and "Luo" in "Autumn Flowers Green, Dense Leaves Green" are extremely well used, sharp and enthusiastic, and are collected. The last two sentences of "If there is no root, I would like to believe in the side of Huachi", Huachi, the pool of Fanghua, expressed the will to actively use the world.
