Original author: (MiYoushe) Senyu Hanmu
物哀,"物の哀れ" (もののあはれ) is an ancient Japanese aesthetic, which, in simple terms, is the return to blandness or extinction after the beauty reaches its extreme. "Material mourning" is a basic concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics, and it is expressed in Japanese literature, becoming an art that most Japanese people generally pursue in their lives, and can even be said to be a common aesthetic concept owned by the entire Yamato nation.
The Shinto religion in japan believes that all things have spirits, and flowers and trees hide spirits in them. The use of flowers to compare beauty is not only a literary tradition with literary significance, but also implies Japan's unique aesthetic ideas and profound social significance.
"The Tale of Genji" ushered in the era of Japanese aesthetics of material mourning, and the use of flowers as a metaphor for people is the embodiment of this aesthetic idea. Comparing these women to flowers, the more delicate and beautiful they are, and when they disappear, the more distressing they are.
In the original god, this "material mourning" aesthetic is also vividly embodied. "Famous flowers fall to the country and the two rejoice" and "beauty is like flowers across the clouds", let's get closer to the flowers and beauties on Naruto Island.
"True" only appears in the memories of "Shadow", but we can still see the unique style of this god.
Wisteria and Tsubaki are the representative flowers of this gentle beauty.
Raiden is really the twin sisters who shine like the radiance of Thunder Movie, and it is the beauty she has been constantly pursuing throughout her life.
(True)
(Holding the YaeKo in his arms, it just so happens that the Son of God is pink ears hhh)
In the earliest collection of Japanese poetry, "ManyoShu", the figure of wisteria appears many times, and most of them appear in the word "fujibo". The meaning of the wisteria wave is like a wave when the wisteria is in full bloom.
If you miss it, if you show me a form, in my throat, the planting Fujinami, now blooming
For eternal thought, once planted at home. The vine waves, now see its flowers.
There is one in "Pillow Grass"
Red plums are thick and thin. Cherry blossom petals are hoku, leaf color, branches and bloom. The wisteria flower blooms long and colorful, it is a cousin.
Thick and plum red. Cherry blossoms with lush foliage. The vines are pleasantly colored.
Matsuo Basho has a haiku saying: When you are tired and tired of spending the night, the sunset returns to the wisteria flowers.
The thirty-third volume of the Tale of Genji, "The End of the Vine Flower", writes: "When it is approaching dusk, the wisteria flowers are particularly gorgeous", using Bai Juyi's famous sentence "I can't stay in the spring, and the wisteria flowers fade into dusk".
Minister of interior minister's coffin tree transmission Yoyu,Sending said: Shifuji Hanao During the daily life, how many empty weathers are remaining. (The remnants of spring that are not filled in the dark twilight of the wisteria of our inn)
Yuyaku Nobuwa-hee said: Nippori Suiyi. How do you want to see Hana Hijito? (It is quite a trace at the time of flower twig of folded yamato wisteria)
The beauty of wisteria and sunset separating from each other exhausts the author's perception of "leaving suffering". In the memories of "Shadow", "True" appears at the same time as a large area of wisteria and sunset, and also tells the "pain of parting" for the twin sisters.
The Tale of Genji says:
"Spring flowers are not the first to bloom, but when I feel resentful that they don't entertain people for a long time, I love this flower because I am attracted to the goodness in that only the wisteria flowers are one step behind and bloom across the summer, because color seems to symbolize people's deep affection."
"Spring flowers and things, the purple color of the flock, dazzling and fragrant; but in an instant, regardless of the grace of people, scattered and colorful, the peak of regret is short." Only the vine Luo Late Yan took advantage of the late night, the late spring arrived, the summer bloomed, summoned my heart, its purple and joyful, just like the true intention of human feelings. ”
<h1 toutiao-origin="h2" > "true" like this wisteria, the peak is short, and the premature incense disappears, which makes people sigh. </h1>
The wisteria flowers are beautiful and feminine, gentle and gorgeous, and "true" is such a quiet, gentle and intelligent "Yamato Fuzi".
The fuji characters of the wisteria are similar to those of the fujiwara clan of the Heian period, and the wisteria is full of vitality, so the vine color is also considered a noble color and has always been popular among the Japanese aristocracy.
<h1 toutiao-origin="h2" > the demon god who rules inari is enough to be regarded as the most noble place in the land. </h1>
In "The Tale of Genji", there are three women related to "Fuji", the most famous of which is the protagonist Hikari's first love, and the barnacle Nakanomiya, the woman he has always dreamed of.
(Barnacle Lady in the Thousand Years of Genji Monogatari)
Pots, atrium also, by extension as palaces. Barnacles: A palace with vines.
The barnacles mean living in the middle of the palace with vine trees.
She is the middle palace (empress) of the Father of the Light Source Clan, Emperor Tongju, and the author describes this forbidden love as poignant. It can be said that the more you don't get it, the more the protagonist remembers it for the rest of his life.
The second was Yue Yue, who was the favorite concubine of the Suzaku Emperor, the sixth daughter of the Right Minister, and her eldest sister was the Empress Dowager of the Tonghu Emperor's Honghui Hall. Not only is she magnificent and beautiful, but she is also passionate and unrestrained, and she is a brave woman who pursues love.
(The Tale of Genji In the Millennium)
In The Tale of Genji, Volume 34, "New Dishes", Genji and Tsukiyoshi meet at the woman's private mansion, and Genji compares the beautiful wisteria flower to the night of the moon.
"Although the sky is dewy, I am still happy and can't bear to leave." At dawn, the sky is gorgeous, the birds are flocked, and the song is gentle. Spring flowers wither and branches grow green. Genji remembered that in the past, the chancellor held a vine flower feast, which was the season of early summer. At that time, although it was several years apart, it was still vivid and attached. Zhongna Yanjun pounded the side door and prepared to send him back to the house. But Genji walked to the door, turned around, and said, "How did the vine flowers become so beautiful, how did they dye such a moving color?" I can't give up this flower!" "He lingered and couldn't bear to leave."
The third was the only daughter of the Hikari clan, Akashi, who later became the Crown Princess, and the Genji clan also prospered because of the Akashi Nakagu.
(Akashi In The Tale of Genji)
In the 28th volume of the Tale of Genji, "Shuo Feng", Yumitsu describes Akashi as an elegant and gorgeous woman. The book describes her as "well-behaved and noble, like a blooming vine flower, when the summer flowers are scattered, alone in the morning light." ”
In the thirty-fifth volume of the "New Dish Continuation", it is written that Akashi's female imperial appearance is as elegant as the three princesses, and there are more gorgeous faces. Graceful and noble, like a blooming vine flower, when the summer flowers are scattered, they bloom alone in the morning light.
From this, it can be seen how noble and beautiful the image of "truth" is!
<h1 toutiao-origin="h2" > in addition to wisteria, another difference between "Zhen" and her sister "Shadow" is Tsubaki, which is pinned between the hair. </h1>
Tsubaki is the family tattoo of the Shinri family, another girlish self in the heart of the mother of the gods.
Tsubaki is also "true".
Tsubaki (ツバキ) means "introverted and excellent" and "straightforward and beautiful".
"Tsubaki flowers have fallen, and the spring day is turbulent." (落椿天地ひつくり返りり) is a haiku carved in stone in The Horan-in Temple in Nato in Kyoto, Japan. The petals of Tsubaki are rich in color, thick and stable, and when they fall, they do not fall in pieces like other flowers, but the whole flower falls, which is quite magnificent and pathetic, and is known as "Tsubaki" by the Japanese, and regards it as the soul of the samurai. The withered but intact tsubaki flowers represent a kind of ambition that does not love life and devotes enthusiasm to the pursuit of eternity.
(Full of trees)
In the Character Story of General Raiden, it is mentioned that Raiden is really weak in strength, and most of the people entrusted to Shadow are wielding swords and spilling blood.
It was such a weak demon god, but he still chose to sacrifice his life in the war to protect the rice wives.
("Zhen" holding a tai knife)
Two sides of the "true" are the younger sister "Shadow". "Shadow" is a stand-in for "True", the "Shadow Warrior" of "True". One in the light and one in the dark.
Wisteria is the flower of summer, and gentian happens to be the flower of winter. Calm, arrogant, stoic, and rational, all doom ray movies to belong to the depressed, dormant winter.
Gentian blooms in autumn and winter and grows in alpine and subalpine areas, so it symbolizes "noble and elegant, can only be viewed from a distance" in the flower language. The beautiful form and noble style give people a delicate and calm feeling. Shadow is also as calm and self-sustaining as this flower of Gaoling. (See Character Story 3 for details).
(Ray Movies and Gentian Flowers)
Gentian, this small, seemingly weak flower that is actually deeply rooted, is exactly the embodiment of Ray's movie.
As a twin sister, she has a weak and beautiful appearance like her sister;
As a stand-in, she needs to hide under the light of "truth" and be the "shadow" of her sister;
As the god of Inari, she chooses to pursue eternity in her own way, believing that eternity is the closest thing to heavenly existence.
(Gentian flower)
Gentian flowers are more bitter, bringing a kind of sadness and unbearable pain of emotional innuendo, so gentian flowers in the flower language symbolizes the meaning of "you when you fall in love with sorrow". Gentian flowers are one of the ancient plants on Earth, so gentian flowers also have a strong, long-lasting meaning. And Ray Movie is also strong to live, pursuing eternity.
There is also such a woman in the "Tale of Genji", as tough as gentian, she is the birth mother of Akashi's little princess - Akashi Hime.
Elegant and feminine, with a long charm. That kind of restrained beauty, just like her life of forbearance.
"Today, when I looked closely, I felt that this woman was beautiful and elegant, and she was an unexpectedly superior beauty."
(Akashi Akashi Okada Motoshi |.) "The Tale of Genji 54" (This post tells the story of Genji and Akashi-hime meeting and falling in love))
Gentian is the embodiment of Akashihime's temperament: humble origin, lofty heart, elegant temperament, calm and arrogant, stoic and stubborn, and the temperament of gentian is very consistent. In the twenty-eighth volume of the Tale of Genji, Shuofeng, it is written: "Akashi-hime loves gentian and morning glory and has been planted with heart. Now the short hedges to which these flowers are attached have been blown down by the wind, and the flowers are scattered, and the girls are cleaning up. ”
Akashi-hime gave up the right to raise her daughter for the sake of Akashi's young son-in-law. And the little princess became Akashi Nakaguya and also made Akashi Hime laugh to the end among the women of the Rokujō Temple. Like Akashihime, Ray chose to attack defensively. The general chose to close the rice wife and pursue eternity, hoping to exchange it for the peace and happiness of the rice wife and the people.
The copy below the demo video of the "Raiden General: Pure Land Judgment" character is:
"The amorous cherry blossoms of yesteryear are now inky. When the thunder is somber, Fang Xiaoxiao's dream will be awakened." Ray Movies chose to enter the Pure Land of One Heart to reduce wear and tear. Just as the barnacle nakamiya passed away, Genji looked at the cherry blossoms in the Nijo courtyard and chanted the sentence "If the mountain cherry blossoms are amorous, they should bloom ink-colored flowers this year" to express his condolences. He was sad in his heart, and he was afraid of provoking people to laugh, and he closed the door for many days, and wept behind people's backs every day.
(Ink Dye Sakura: The Ink Dye Temple in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, is a small temple, also known as Sakura-ji Temple, where the Heian singer Ueno Toshio sang "Cherry blossoms on the side of the Deep Grass Road, if you have the heart, just offer the minister's homage, please bloom ink-colored flowers this year] The flowers are open, and when the petals are thin ink, the flowers here are named ink-dyed cherry blossoms. ）
The death of "true" to "shadow", and the death of barnacle nakamiya to the light source clan are the greatest "loss".
Coincidentally, the representative flower gentian of "Shadow" happens to be the home pattern of the prototype of the Light Source clan Kiyowa Genji. (These can really be more or less associated with the protagonist in "The Tale of Genji")
(Gentian stripe)
General Raiden has a famous favorite general, Tengu Sasaki Yuri.
The lily is a type of lily endemic to Japan that grows in the mountains west of central Honshu, Japan, with leaves similar to small bamboo, and funnel-shaped pale red flowers bloom every June to July.
(Sasayuri)
The Tale of Genji once described it as follows: "The beauty is lonely and even more endearing." (This sentence refers to Yu Yan, but Sasagiri was indeed the first to leave General Raiden, and it is a bit like Yu Yan's early death, Yu Yan died from the attack of the beings of the Six Heavenly Breaths) and Kiyomi's lonely sasagiri is like this silent beauty, swaying in the wind.
According to Peiyuan Yixuan, the etymology of the lily comes from "shaking". The ancient name of the lily is "さい", and according to the "Kojiji", the name of the Narrow Well (さい) River is derived from this. Ms. Masako Shirasu writes: "It has the same meaning as the 'さい' of the god Sai (さい), which indicates the boundary between heaven and man. "Sasaki does not have the slightest sense of vulgarity, and in her feminine posture, there is an awe-inspiring atmosphere that is difficult to approach.
The story of Sasagiri is only a few words in the Coral Palace Chronicle, but in the memories of General Raiden, you can also glimpse the slurred figure of Sasaki.
The original meaning of the word "Saigu" originally referred to "the palace where Saiwang lived (like the imperial palace in Kyoto)", and gradually began to refer to "Saiwang" himself. That is, the prince of the interior who serves the gods of Ise Jingu. The King of Jai is the Idai of the gods.
What is Yidai? The ancestors had a reverence and fear of plants full of vitality, believing that the mountains, forests, woods and stones inhabited by gods, plants are the reproduction and symbol of gods, trees and stones are the places where gods are attached, so they are regarded as the object of worship, that is, the so-called "Yidai" belief of gods.
That is to say, the Fox Palace, that is, the Idai of the Fox God, or the God attached to the fox, and her name is not known to us.
The fox palace is gorgeous and extraordinary, and its beauty has been bluntly stated in the sacred relic "Summer Sacrifice Water Jade".
After the end of the Shrine Sakura, the flowers are scattered as cherry blossoms, and I think that fox-sai palace is a beauty like a mountain cherry blossom.
Mountain cherry blossoms bloom every spring, like a rainbow, and are born brilliantly and beautifully, but the flowering period is extremely short, and it is silent when it falls. After the brilliance is extreme, it returns to calm, and has the power to shock people's hearts. It has both beautiful and sad qualities, and can best reflect the beauty of material mourning. The beauty of fox house is like the mountain cherry blossoms in early spring, beautiful and delicate, and there is a mature and elegant charm, just like the rich yae cherry blossoms, condensing the gorgeous and elegant style.
The fifth volume of the Tale of Genji, "Zi'er", writes about the young Zi Ji, "The mountain cherry Qianying haunts the dream, and the infinite affection belongs to this flower." ”
(The Tale of Genji In a Thousand Years of Love)
The twenty-eighth volume of the Tale of Genji, Shuo Feng, describes the beauty of Zi Ji from the perspective of Yu Wu: "Elegant in temperament, beautiful in appearance, and seemingly fragrant." Teach people to look at it, and think of the beautiful mountain cherry blossoms that bloom in the spring morning between the clouds. The delicate color is scattered everywhere, as if it is flowing to the face of Xi Wu who is peeking at it wantonly, which is really a peerless beauty! ”
The thirty-eighth volume of "New Dishes" describes Zi Ji's beauty from the perspective of Guangguang Shi: "From any point of view, her temperament is very elegant, and there is no flaw around her, which can make the seer feel ashamed." The appearance is as beautiful as the flower moon, and the posture is novel and timely. Coupled with the concentration of elegant incense, this forms a supreme beauty. This year is more prosperous than last year, and today is more beautiful than yesterday. Always fresh and never tired of watching. Genji wondered: How could he have been born so beautiful! ”
(Zi Ji)
Fox Palace has a cheerful personality and many friends. Like a maple leaf, it is a cute, colorful, warm and beautiful elf.
(From the Ring of White Chen)
Throughout the life of the Fox Palace, life is as brilliant as a mountain cherry blossom, and death is as beautiful as a red maple.
Red maple represents "miss" in Japanese garden culture. Japanese people like to call autumn foliage "autumn leaf hunting". In their view, like the "Hanami (cherry blossom viewing)" in spring, the autumn "Autumn Leaf Hunting" is also a love for life and nature. The fiery autumn leaves seem to be burning their last life before they wither.
After being devoured by darkness, Fox Saimiya hopes to return her memories to the land she loves, and even if her memories are dirty, she will remember her responsibility to protect Naruto Island.
The memories of the Fox Palace turned into flowers. Because he felt that his appearance was not good, he compared himself to Hanazari in "The Tale of Genji".
"Let's pick up the village where the flowers scatter that take the incense of Tachibana" (Mori-Ying Ya-yaku Yoshiki, doi Tachibana Surirai). Tachibana Hihiri Hanasuri, Genji Nori hanasuri sori. Insurer 1000,1 quirling girl's name Hanasuri.
("Genji Monogatari Hana No Shōjo")
Hanazari had no looks, no outstanding talents, no noble origins, and no heirs for Genji, and his sense of existence was very weak. Like orange blossoms, orange blossoms are different from cherry blossoms, wisteria and other flowers, always blooming warmly, full of branches, orange blossoms are the most inconspicuous, small white petals, containing (m) a faint fragrance, suddenly a burst of fragrance came, is a faint but refreshing fragrance. Looking for incense, I saw only the tiny white flowers of the series, hidden under the green leaves, as if the dew was still hidden, full of shyness.
Only by being humble and respectful in his life can Hesan Li barely retain a trace of his lover's love. Genji did not have much love for Hanazori, but more care and pity.
(Orange Blossom)
"Separated from Jun, I don't know when the return date is, I am like a moment of twilight."
As the flowers dissipate, the beauty of the mourning is pushed to a climax at the end of the great shrine of the sacred cherry blossoms. Countless travelers empathized with it, and their hearts could not be calmed for a long time, and they sighed: "But even such a beautiful person with beautiful scenery and beautiful moonshine can hardly escape the torture of fate." ”
(How many travelers, like me, haven't been willing to use a mask?) ）
This reminds me of the forty-second volume of the Tale of Genji, Cloud Hidden. The word "Cloud Hidden" was empty underneath. This kind of emptiness, after a thousand years, we can still feel the great shock brought about by "material sorrow" after opening the book.
Whenever I see the blossoming cherry tree, I think of the fox-faced woman and fall into a long silence.
Material mourning is when a person is aroused by the external scenery, and the inner is also self-contemplated, putting people in the gaze of the true self. "Things" are in "feelings", "feelings" are in "me", and "I" are in "things". Material grief builds a bridge between the object and the subject, the microscopic and the macroscopic, the opposite and the one—and finally returns to the source of all "I".
The aesthetics of material mourning is the ultimate beauty, the beauty of nature, and the expression of true feelings. In Japanese aesthetics, the three are usually on a par with each other, but for us ordinary people, I just want to talk to people about what moves in my heart.
Looking back at these beauties on Naruto Island, whether it is appearance, origin, or status, they are such extraordinary figures, but they also look pale and powerless in the face of unchangeable fate.
In "Original God", the flower is used as a metaphor for people, which not only depicts the beauty of many women on Naruto Island, but also uses the temperament of the flower to symbolize the character of the character, and has both form and god. Using flowers as a metaphor also has aesthetic significance, the more beautiful the flowers, the more sad it is when they wither. This "material mourning" aesthetic pushes the player's empathy with the character to the peak. The seemingly obscure "using flowers to refer to people" actually implies the ingenuity of the production team, which is worthy of our careful understanding.
