If you still think that it is a very embarrassing thing to give flowers to boys, then I have to tell you: since ancient times, men love flowers more than women!
Before the Tang Dynasty, flowers were indeed only appendages of agriculture, and there was no special planning for planting, but in the Tang Dynasty, there were flower farmers and florists who specialized in raising flowers and playing with flowers, and the planting technology was constantly improved, making flowers more precious and valuable through grafting and transplantation.
The dignitaries and nobles hired people to take care of flowers, ordinary people will also buy flowers and hairpin flowers during the festival, under the promotion of flower farmers and florists, the flower industry has also been popularized, which once led to the economic development at that time; the literati are even more lyrical through flowers, from the dignitaries to the common people who love flowers.
"But a few peonies, faithful to the king"
"The Sui Emperor set aside two hundred miles for the Western Garden... Yizhou into twenty boxes of peonies... Yan'an Yellow, Pre-Spring Red, Trembling Fengjiao"
It is said that the Sui Emperor loved peonies, and there were more than twenty kinds of plants in the garden, yellow, red, pink, and rich in varieties.
"Famous flowers pour out of the country and the two are happy, and the king often looks at it with a smile"
This is to say that Tang Xuanzong's love for peonies can be compared with the noble concubines, and they are very happy.
"Not only the grass forgets the worries, this flower is fragrant, especially sobering up the wine"
Giving the favorite flowers to the people you love the most is also the source of "explaining the country", which is similar to "the lover's eyes out of the west".
And the love of the scholars for flowers, from the thousands of popular poems of flowers is not ugly, flowers cultivate sentiments, inspire inspiration, relax the mood, and gradually become a fashion, affecting ordinary people.
In the Song Dynasty, the world's love for flowers went to a higher level, and the "Flower Dynasty Festival" and "Ten Thousand Flowers Society" were held in the spring, and men, women and children gathered to enjoy the flowers, and there were flowers in Luoyang City.
"The customs of Luoyang are more or less good flowers."
In the spring, there are no nobles in the city,
Even for those who bear the burden. Most of the People's House of Luo have flowers. ”
——Ouyang Xiu in "Luoyang Peony Record"
The Song Dynasty is the period when men have the most hairpin flowers, yes, you read it right, men love hairpin flowers more than women, and the greatest pleasure for men at this time is to study how to wear "small flowers"!
According to historical records, every time Emperor Huizong of Song traveled back to the palace, he was "wrapped in a small hat, a hairpin flower, and a horse", and the courtiers and guards who drove it also gave flowers to wear, and the Tianzi hairpin flower, the people naturally followed suit, and then the "hairpin flower" even became a symbol of status.
What the? Don't you send flowers, don't buy flowers, is it because flowers are too expensive?
The price of different flowers varies, the most expensive is the first double-headed red peony up to 30 yuan a plant, while the ordinary frangipani cost 2 yuan.
——A preliminary study of the flower market in the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhejiang regions)
In other words, a double-headed red peony is now 9,000 yuan, compared to the current flower price, do you still think it is expensive?
(Note: Song Dynasty 1 two gold = 3000 yuan, 1 two silver = 1 copper coin = 300 yuan, 1 wen copper coin = 0.3 yuan)
Nowadays, the flower planting technology is more and more developed, compared to the previous price is a lot of people, and the choice of varieties is rich, in addition to peonies, we can choose roses, hydrangeas, orange stems, sunflowers, full of stars, crane orchids, phalaenopsis orchids, violets...
