Narcissus: Do not compete with the flowers, and lead the fragrance alone

Daffodils have been cultivated on the mainland for more than 1,000 years and are one of the top ten famous flowers. During the Tang Dynasty, Narcissus was already listed as a famous product, and according to the "History of Flowers", Tang Xuanzong gave Lady Yuguo (Yang Guifei's sister) 12 pots of red daffodils, all of which were made of gold and jade seven treasures. After the Song Dynasty, Narcissus has become the subject of many poets and painters to write poems, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the famous painters Ni Yunlin, Wen Zhengming, and Wu Changshuo have successively painted poems and passed on Narcissus as the treasures of the Art Garden.

Throughout the ages, people have always regarded the "jade golden ribbon" narcissus as a symbol of auspiciousness, beauty, purity and nobility. Daffodils have won people's love and praise with its unique freshness, purity, elegance, fragrance, and ultra-dusty natural beauty, and because of its undaunted frost, ice muscle jade bone, and dust-free quality, poets of all generations have praised it.

The Song Dynasty poet Huang Tingjian has a poem "Jade Daffodil in the Second Rhyme": "Borrowing water to blossom from a strange, water sinks into bone jade for muscle." The dark incense has been suppressed and dried, and it is only better than the cold plum. "The poem writes that Narcissus in the cold winter, with only a spoonful of water, stands tall, like a sauce and a cold plum. The charm of the jade ice muscle and the rich and fragrant fragrance are the most pleasing to the eye.

Yang Wanli said in "Daffodils": "The rhyme is still fragrant, and the flowers are not clear." Heaven and earth do not work, and borrow water as a name. "The poem is directly lyrical, praising the posture and fragrance of the daffodil, praising its beautiful and noble quality than the moonlight, and the words are few and enough, and the form and spirit are both.

The Ming Dynasty Li Dongyang's poem "Yong Shui Narcissus" says: "The ink is light and the jade dew is fragrant, and the water fairy is dressed in plain clothes." The wind and mist sideburns are untangled, not the rich makeup of the world. Chen Luyun of the Yuan Dynasty: "Mo Xin Chen Wang Fu LuoShen, Ling Bo is even more dusty." The water fragrance dew shadow empty clear place, left to the year of xie peiren. These verses are all elegant and flowing, enough to make Narcissus colorful.

The modern poet Guo Moruo chanted that the character of daffodils lies in "living on only one spoonful of water and a few stones". Contemporary poet Ai Qing said affectionately to Narcissus: "Do not compete with the hundred flowers, and lead the fragrance alone." These verses in praise of Narcissus read as if they were in their shape, as if they were smelling their fragrance, and intriguing.

"Not all the silt invades Haosu, all by the wind dew and fragrance", in the cold and desolate winter, seemingly delicate but actually strong daffodils stand proudly together with pine, bamboo and plum, resist frost and snow, echo each other, inspire each other, endure the torment of bitter cold, and play the prelude to spring in ensembles. Narcissus eventually became the fourth friend of the "Three Friends of the Cold Year". This reflects the philosophy of life that "the jade must be burned for three days, and the identification of materials must be waited for seven years".
