This article brings you 5 poems describing roses.
There are many flowers in the poems, but chrysanthemums, peonies, plum blossoms, and begonias are the mainstays, and as for the roses that are popular now, they seem to be not very popular in ancient times.
But it is also reasonable to think about it, now most people know that roses represent love, mostly because of the influence of Western culture in modern times, ancient contact with foreign countries is not as extensive as it is now, naturally do not know much about this "representing love" rose.
Among the 5 poems, there is a Tang poem, a Song poem, and two Ming poems and a Qing poem. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, roses probably gradually became popular in trade ports, so this proportion is more in line with the change of the historical status of roses.

Inspector SiZhi moved to the rose Xu Wei [Tang Dynasty] Fang Fei moved from the Yue Wangtai, most like the rose and planted. Grace is full of pity over the painting, and the name of the jia who gives it as a rose. The spring Tibetan splendid embroidery wind blows and tears, and the sky dyes Qiong Yao's sun shines. In order to report the invitation of Zhu Yi early, Mo Jiao zero fell to the moss.
In the first link, you can know the origin of this rose. The poet said that it came from Yuewangtai, that is, the Yueguo region during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, I don't know whether the roses of The Vietnamese country are native or foreign. Friends who know the history of flowers, please teach me!
The author, Xu Mao, probably also saw the rose for the first time, expressed his surprise and love in the jaw link. The big red rose is delicate, who gave it such a beautiful name, called the rose?
Neck and jaw links, one sentence writes the amazement of roses; the other echoes the title, advising the host to invite guests to watch early and not to miss the flowering period. On the whole, it is a relatively ordinary one in Tang poetry, and the style is also more middle and late Tang.
Red Rose Yang Wanli [Song Dynasty] non-Guan Yue Ji name is the same, not with the rose spectrum spy. The leaves are thousands of green, and the flowers are light and dark red. The wind and currents are each swallow branch, and the rain dew is he privately created. There is no national incense to be harvested, and the poet smokes into the water.
Yang Wanli's rose poems, first use the moon season and roses and roses to make a comparison.
Roses I saw little when I was a child, and I didn't think there was any similarity with roses; but when I was a child, the moon season was everywhere, and I often mistook it for a peony.
I remember the Chinese exam in elementary school, there was a question asking whether the flowers at the school gate were the moon or roses, and I answered it incorrectly several times.
The jaw joint directly describes the color of the rose leaves, the leaves are thousands of greens; the flowers have light red and deep red. The neck link writes about its posture and the moisture of the rain and dew. The two sentences of the tail link write that roses were not yet sought after by the people at that time, and only the poet himself liked it, which was a bit of a lonely and self-congratulatory meaning.
Title Rose Huang Yuanyao [Ming Dynasty] New leaf smoke in the rising, light incense wind out of the departure. Zhu Ying was half-dyed with butterfly wings, and the green thorns were leading people's clothes.
Shen Shanren's second painting is Zhang Shulong's inscription One Rose Ou Daren [Ming Dynasty] Lu Rui Mao Ju Xie, Wind Fragrance Lan Mu. Pick a gift of beauty, do not hold Qiongjiu.
The two rose poems of the Ming Dynasty were both inscriptional poems, and it seems that roses at that time had become a frequent subject of painting under the pen of the literati. Compared with the poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties, these two poems may be more in line with the tastes of modern people, and the title is also more suitable for the Chinese painting with the theme of roses.
Because the language is soft and colorful, it can represent people's yearning for love and the pursuit of romance.
Look at the first song: the newly grown green leaves sway in the wind; the wind sends a subtle fragrance, as if looming in the air of early spring. The scarlet petals looked like butterfly wings, and the green rose thorns on the branches plunged into the clothes of passers-by, as if to say, "Don't go, stay with me for a while." What a lovely rose.
The first two sentences of the second song still directly describe roses, but the back is another stroke: if you take roses to a beautiful person, you don't need those expensive and tacky jewelry and jade, one branch is enough. Through the contrast with the decorations sought after by the world, it shows the beauty of the roses, and the jade is golden.
Reminiscence of Jiangnan Wing Rose Lu Zhen [Qing Dynasty] Chun Lai Hui. Can love the rose alone. The sideburns are delicate and purple, accompanied by sugar jin throat victory over red ferns. Dry and moist always fragrant flying.
The spring breeze comes to the mainland, and a hundred flowers compete for glory. Among these hundred flowers, the writer loves roses alone. Why?
Inserted in the head to make decorations, gorgeous, beautiful; made in the soup as food, but also able to suppress cough, is suitable for spring flower tea.
The most important thing is that whether it is moist or withered, there is always a faint fragrance.
I felt the last few words of the word. Because the family put a pot of dried roses, originally a bouquet of roses, bought back and inserted in the water, did not expect to wilt after the very good,did not change the bottle, has been placed at home.
Now that I smell close, there is still a little fragrance. This Lu Zhen of the Qing Dynasty did not deceive us at this point.
