Mei, known as the first of the "four gentlemen" Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums in the flowers, is also known as the "three friends of the cold years" together with pine and bamboo, which has strange branches, light and elegant colors, and a fragrant aroma, especially with the quality of frost and snow, the indomitable spirit, and the spring breeze, which is loved by literati and inkers from ancient times to the present.
Fan Chengda of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in the "Fancun Plum Spectrum Self-Introduction" Yun: "Mei, a special thing under the heavens, has no question of wisdom, foolishness, wisdom, and no xiao, and dare not have objections." The people of the garden will plant plums first, and they will not tire of much. Whether he spends or not, how much, does not matter how heavy or heavy. "This shows the status of plum blossoms in the minds of the ancients."
Hejing Mr. Lin Kui "takes plum as his wife and crane as his son", the Northern Song Dynasty king An Shi and the Southern Song Dynasty Jiang Kui all like the dark incense of the plum, and the Southern Song Dynasty Hu Quan said: "I am really inseparable from the plum blossom, don't come to fear the following." Song Yuan He MengGuiyun: "Ask Meihua and me, who is thin?" Lu You shouted directly: "He Can incarnate into a hundred billion, a tree of plum blossoms and a ong." Lu Meipo exclaimed: "There is no snow without the spirit of the plum" "The snow of Mei Susun is three points white, but the snow loses plum incense." Xu Ke, a Qing person, sighed: "When the staff er looks at the southern snow, I and the plum blossom have two white heads." ”......
Mei, not only can be admired, can be sung, into poetry into painting, but also straight into the heart, immersed in the bone marrow, become a spiritual sustenance, ideal symbol. Not only that, the ancient literati with iron bones and brocade embroidery also liked to give plums, hairpin plums, and plums, and gave a branch of qingyi, and a wisp of lonely fang, which was inserted into the room full of fragrance.
Lu Kai of the Northern Wei Dynasty loved Mei, and You Xi gave Mei. Lu Kai was friendly with Fan Ye, a historian and writer of the Southern Dynasty, and often exchanged letters. At that time, the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty were in a state of hostility, Lu Kai was a Xianbei man who served the Northern Wei, and Fan Ye was a Han Chinese and a courtier of the Liu Song Dynasty in Jiangnan. Lu Kai led his troops to march south to Meiling, just as the mountain plums were blooming, he immediately looked back at the plum blossoms, looked back at the north, remembered Fan Ye, a friend of Longtou, and was running into an emissary who went north, so he folded mei and gave a poem to a friend:
Fold the plum and send it to the Longtou people.
Gangnam has nothing, talk about giving a branch of spring.
This poem has only two crosses, but it has far-reaching meanings, transcending the boundaries of other countries and nationalities, and showing a broad mind and sincere friendship. This matter was passed down as a beautiful talk by the literati of the north and the south, and later generations used "one branch of spring" as a synonym for plum blossoms, and also often used as an allusion to Wing Mei and Farewell Lovesickness, and became the name of the word plate.
Beautiful hairpin plum blossoms, adding a feminine style, all kinds of styles. The beauty in the mind of Zhou Bangyan in the Northern Song Dynasty should be like this:
A plum blossom is delicate, obliquely inserted plum branches, slightly eyebrow tips.
Light smile dance low back, he Shizun before the wrong move.
- "A Cut of Plum"
A cut of cold plum reflects the delicate face, Yingying smiles, low back to shy, the slave is afraid that Lang misunderstood others, and then obliquely inserted a plum! A Song Dynasty anonymous poem "Nanxiangzi" also says:
Drunk with a branch of spring, this means that everyone will win the king.
I only made a plum blossom for you, you understand it, you don't know, you just don't know? The Northern Song Dynasty poet Wang Zhidao's plum-inserted woman is even more beautiful, he described:
Left and right Qing'e came to smile,
The lips are coated with new makeup, and the plum blossoms are still wonderful.
Singing, drunk to allow me to laugh at each other.
- "Fisherman's Pride and Kong Chun's Three Songs"
Don't laugh at me, I put on new makeup, put my lips on my forehead and insert plum blossoms, and I want to compare with you who is the most beautiful! I sang little songs, drank little wine, and was so proud! Li Qingzhao, a talented woman of the Southern Song Dynasty, recalled the scene when she and her husband appreciated plums when they were first married, and sighed:
In the snow every year, plum blossoms are often planted and drunk.
Exhaust the plum blossoms without good intentions, and win the tears of the clothes.
- "Qing Ping Le Nian Nian Xue Li"
At that time, the snow day was also so beautiful, we walked on the snow together to find plums, folded plums and inserted sideburns, happy and full of happiness. And now things are not human, lonely shadows, I crushed plum blossoms, crushed my mood, tears wet green shirts, can't bear to look at each other.
No matter whether the mood is good or bad, no matter the clouds and clouds, what woman does not love Mei and does not love Mei Mei? Li Junmin of the Jin Yuan period said:
Fortunately, outside of a bamboo branch, the shadow also teaches people to love.
It is inevitable that the world's children will be folded and worn on their heads.
- "Gurudwara Daimy"
Stepping on the snow to find plums, outside the bamboo forest, next to the skinny stones, even the plum shadow is so simple and lovely. Can't help but stir up the little daughter's mood, gently fold a branch on the head to wear, beautiful and happy! Tao Dexun of the Qing Dynasty put it more bluntly:
Beauty who does not love hairpin flowers, hairpin plum blossoms are more luxurious.
The bun is combed into a spring color, and a branch of incense shadow sideburns is oblique.
- "Plum"
Yes, beautiful women love to wear flowers, wearing plum blossoms is more refreshing, red plums on the green screw bun, dark incense floating, spring color full of faces.
Boys also love to wear plum blossoms, wear plum blossoms in a cool spirit, who laughs at my crazy! Zhu Dunru, known as "Ci Jun", put on the plum blossom race immortal, was at ease, and despised all things, he wrote:
Thousands of poems, thousands of wines. How many people have looked at the prince?
Yulou Jin Que returned home, and planted plum blossoms to drunk Luoyang.
- "Partridge Heaven Xidu"
Plant a few plums, drink a thousand glasses of wine, compose ten thousand poems, what is the merit and wealth, and the prince will be able to help me? The Southern Song Dynasty Lu You was even more wild: "Lao Tzu is at ease in the world, and he does not hesitate to damage the black scarf." "I am free and free, folded plum blossoms and inserted all over my head, what is wrong with my broken clothes and hats, and I don't want you to lose!" In order to see the plum blossoms, Lu You also sneaked into the mountain monastery and drank tea with people.
Chun Qing idly passed through the wild monk's house and met the poet for evening tea.
See the princes and ask Lao Tzu, and insert plum blossoms for the hat full of words.
- "Guan Mei"
When I came back, the laymen asked me: Why are plum blossoms inserted all over the hat? Well, I'm glad I'm at ease! Gao Lian of the Ming Dynasty was full of plum blossoms, and said beautifully: "I don't know that I am among the flowers, and I forget that the flowers are in the sight!" Hong Liangji, a Qing Dynasty scribe and writer, felt it more deeply, he said: "And the plum blossoms are inserted to press the brim of the hat, and the aroma wants to rush the curtain at first." "The layers of plum blossoms were inserted, the brim of the hat was lowered, and when I returned, the aroma went straight to the curtains, and it was estimated that even the dream was overflowing."
Of course, the ancients also arranged flowers, folded plum blossoms, inserted them in vases, decorated the home, decorated the mood, and also decorated the dream. The poet Chen Youyi of the late Northern Song Dynasty and early Southern Song Dynasty wrote in the poem "Plum Blossoms":
Painting the objects in the Vimal room, the vial spring color a branch oblique.
Dream back to the moon window to see, not peach blossoms and plum blossoms.
He put the plum blossom in a vial and offered it like a bodhisattva, and the night was reflected in the dream of moonlight, the peach blossom did not have its purity, and the plum flower did not have its purity. The Yuan Dynasty literary scholar Qiu Yuan was deeply impressed by the magic of inserting plums and raising plums, and he wrote in the poem "Inserting Plums":
Occasionally, I got a few plum branches and inserted them into the clay vase.
Place it in a secret room and pour cold water.
If the skin is ice and snow, the cold is extremely cold,
Years and smell, spring deep to see the knot.
A few branches of cold plums are inserted in the bottle, which will be raised, without feeding, just a flood of water, full of fragrance at the end of the year, full of plums in the late spring, leaving only a clean and full room.
Look at a bottle of flowers, look at a bottle of flowers.
Although the flowers are shallow, they are fortunate to support the poor family.
"With this Yan Junzhai, double the Yanhua." (Ming Yuan Hongdao," "Drama Title Zodiac Far Vase Flower Zhai") Poor also New Year's Day, rich also New Year's Day, new year bottle plum blossom bar, just like the Qing Dynasty Zheng Banqiao in a "Cold Plum Map" titled "The cold family has nothing to do at the end of the year, the plum blossoms will be the New Year", the new year of the plum blossoms, there is a charm, with red fire, the heart also has Yin Yin's hope ...
