菊花
秋丛绕舍似陶家
遍绕篱边日渐斜
不是花中偏爱菊
此花开尽更无花
Autumn blooms ring my hut as in Tao's home of old,
I pace the hedge till slanting sunbeams turn to gold.
Not that among all flowers I love but the chrysanthemum alone,
When it has bloomed and withered, no other flower is known.
逐句注释
秋丛绕舍似陶家
秋丛：秋天的菊花丛。绕舍：环绕屋舍。似陶家：像陶渊明的家。化用陶渊明爱菊的典故，既写出菊花满院的环境，也暗含对高洁人格的比拟。
Autumn clusters: chrysanthemums in autumn. Round the hut: encircling the house. Like Tao's home: an allusion to Tao Yuanming, famous for loving chrysanthemums; it sets the scene and suggests noble character.
遍绕篱边日渐斜
遍绕：绕来绕去。篱边：篱笆旁。日渐斜：太阳渐渐西斜。写诗人赏菊入迷、流连忘返，以时间推移侧面烘托菊花的吸引力。
Pacing the hedge: lingering around the fence. The sun slants low: time passes as the poet admires the flowers, indirectly showing how captivating the chrysanthemums are.
不是花中偏爱菊
不是花中偏爱菊：并非在百花中偏偏偏爱菊花。以否定句式造成转折与悬念，引出下句说明真正原因。
Not that I favor chrysanthemums above all flowers: a negative construction creates a turn and suspense, leading to the explanation in the next line.
此花开尽更无花
开尽：开花期结束，凋谢。更无花：再没有别的花。以菊花开后百花凋零的事实，赞菊花后凋耐寒，托物言志，寄托坚贞高洁的品格。
When it has bloomed and fallen, no other flower remains: the chrysanthemum is praised for blooming last in the cold season; the poem uses the object to express a steadfast, noble character.
今日赏析
元稹《菊花》是一首咏菊七绝，具体创作年代不详，约作于中唐时期。诗人化用陶渊明爱菊的典故，写秋日屋舍周围菊花盛开、自己绕篱观赏的情景，并借“此花开尽更无花”赞美菊花后凋的品格，寄寓对坚贞高洁人格的追求。
Yuan Zhen's 'Chrysanthemum' is a seven-character quatrain on chrysanthemums, likely written in the mid-Tang period though the exact date is unknown. Alluding to Tao Yuanming's love of chrysanthemums, the poet describes autumn blooms surrounding his hut and his lingering by the hedge to admire them. The final line praises the chrysanthemum for blooming after other flowers have faded, expressing admiration for steadfast and noble character.
