The first part of "Butterfly Love Flowers" has already talked about peach blossoms and apricot blossoms. Flowers related to love, there are also lotus, cloves, neem flowers, jasmine, lilies, and peonies.
Lotus, harmonic pity, love pity. Because of the harmonic sound, the lotus flower has the meaning of symbolizing love. Lotus flowers have several aliases, such as lotus, such as hibiscus, and hanja. But if it is used as a metaphor for love, it can generally only be a lotus.
Ancient language usage was different from today's. Modern people call each other "you", while the ancients called "you" "son". Pity means love. The ancient phrase corresponding to "love you" in modern Chinese is "pity", lotus son harmonic pity. Inside each lotus seed is a bitter lotus heart. Lotus heart harmonic compassion, love heart. This heart is bitter and represents bitter love.
Picking lotuses in the autumn of Nantang, lotus flowers over the heads. Look down at the lotus seeds, and the lotus seeds are as clear as water. In the sleeve of the lotus, the lotus heart is completely red. Looking up at Lang Lang, looking up at Fei Hong.
"Xizhou Qu" is a very beautiful ancient music house love song, writing a girl's love for her sweetheart in a woman's tone. She seems to be very shy, and she does not dare to express her chest directly, and does not dare to say directly that "the concubine intends to marry the body", but only uses the nature of heaven and earth to hint at the heart song. The lotus girl shuttles between the lotus flowers, she shyly bows her head and fiddles with the lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are pity, that is, love you. Renko was so quiet, as innocent as her feelings, but her sweetheart was gone. Why didn't he show up? Unknown. The emotional tone of the whole song is anticipation and melancholy, melancholy and anticipation. Looking forward to Lang Jun, Lang Jun did not come, and the geese flew by in the sky.

The geese are wanderers, and the geese are originally northern birds, and in the autumn they fly to the warm south to spend the winter. The geese are migratory birds and will return the following spring. The geese are single-minded about love, have only one partner in their lifetime, and even if the partner dies, they will no longer find new objects.
When the autumn wind was cold, he left me and drifted into the distance. I don't blame him for parting easily, because we are all wanderers between heaven and earth. But when spring comes back, I want my former passers-by to become homecomings. Doesn't it say that geese are faithful migratory birds? Don't miss my appointment with me. It was so good for us to go rafting together in Lotus Pond in our hometown. After all, although the heavens and the earth are large, there are very few places where the lotus flowers can bloom, only the Chu Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom. Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaf He Tiantian. The lotus-picking girls in ancient poems, either Chu nu or Yue nu, are all symbols of the ancient Heavenly Dao civilization.

Also used as a symbol of love by the harmonic sound are neem flowers and lilies. As we all know, lily is an abbreviation for centennial good union, and wedding blessings usually send lilies or lily-themed paintings or crafts.
Like autumn water and spring mountains
Neem harmonic love. The purple neem flowers are very beautiful. Twenty-four flower trade winds, starting with plum blossoms in the cold and ending with neem flowers in the valley rain. When the neem blossoms, spring is over. Neem bark and fruit smell extremely bitter, so it is also known as neem. Neem harmonic bitter love. Neem is a melancholy lilac, not a delicate red, a sweet pink. She was miserable with love.

The cloves are also purple, and the cloves are also grumbles. In general, the flower buds are stretched outward in a line shape, but the lilac flower buds are only a little, like a knot. Therefore, cloves are heart knots and complexes.
Partial resentment is the Fang Festival Under the lilac thousand knots
"The blue bird does not pass on the letter from the clouds, and the lilac is empty and sad in the rain." "Basho does not show the lilac knot, and the same spring wind is worried about each other." Lilac is a girl with a grudge. Although Dai Wangshu's "Rain Alley" is a modern poem, the aesthetic idea is in line with tradition, and the interior is completely classical aesthetic. The image of Lilac in ancient poetry is a woman who is depressed in the wind, rain, and smoke.
Since Nampo don't worry about seeing the lilac knot
Dai Wangshu further added the details of her face. With an oil-paper umbrella, wandering alone in the long and lonely rain alley, I hope to meet a lilac-like girl with a grudge...
But Lilac is not blindly sorrowful, she also has joy. The lilac knot can be a concentric knot, and the concentric knot is a symbol of love. Concentric knots are generally tied to sachets worn around the waist, and the standard concentric knots are four long straps that are rolled in pairs to form symmetrical fringed streamers on both sides of the sachets. Concentric knots are very good to play, if you encounter a temporary occasion of wanting to confess, you can first draw a headband, belt or handkerchief from your body and tie it into a concentric knot to give to your crush. Concentric knots are extremely common items in the lives of the ancients. The heart knot of the lilac is sometimes recognized as a concentric knot. "Since Nampo farewell, I have seen the lilac knot." After parting, I can't bear to see the concentric knot that symbolizes love again. Here the author uses the lilac knot as a synonym for the concentric knot, and the lilac soft knot concentric. When we love, we are concentric knots, and after parting, we become lovesickness knots. Therefore, there are three kinds of heart knots in lilacs: resentment knots, concentric knots, and acacia knots.

In his year, if I cultivate the history of flowers, I will be listed as the first incense in the world
Everyone has their own aesthetic preferences. Some people like purity, some people love fire, but the aroma is something that no one will dislike. Jasmine is also known as the incense soul, her fragrance into the bone marrow, refreshing the spleen, can relieve the heat of the day. Like the moonlight on a clear summer night, it gives people the comfort of the soul.
Generally speaking, white flowers are more fragrant than red flowers, although red flowers are beautiful, but white flowers are fragrant. But most Chinese subconsciously still subconsciously prefer more safflower. Because since ancient times, red flowers have been used for happy events and white flowers have been used for funerals. Ji Li uses red, and the fierce lily uses white. The ancients believed that the soul of the deceased was white, and the white qi drifted into the sky. I also talked about the special topic of "Chinese White", white is both good and evil, and it is also a ghost and a fairy.

Offering the fragrant white flowers to the deceased is also the meaning of soothing the soul of the deceased with the fragrance of flowers, and the fragrance can be used to understand the ghosts. Jasmine is also naturally used for funerals. It is said that if there is a sudden popularity in the folk that girls wear jasmine flowers and wear white clothes, it will indicate that the queen will soon die. Jasmine, the energy of the yin, is used not only for funerals, but also for the funerals of honorable women.
During the Jing Kang Disaster, Empress Ningde of Emperor Huizong of Song was taken captive by the Jin Dynasty, and after being tortured, she fell ill and died in the ice and snow of the Five Kingdoms City. The bad news spread to the Song Dynasty, the world was sad, and the whole country wore jasmine flowers on their heads to express their condolences. Thousands of people gathered jasmine flowers, and the fragrance spread between heaven and earth, what a wonderful scene, but behind this was such a painful and bloody story. There is too much suffering in the world, too much sin. Can snow wash away all filth? Can incense dispel all stench? I hope that the fragrance of white flowers can open up the two worlds of yin and yang, bring gentle comfort to the suffering souls, and make them peacefully pass away. But hopefully, white flowers have no place to play. When we talk about Jasmine, we don't think of some heavy history and reality, but simply appreciate her beauty. White moonlight, first love, girl's clear eyes, summer nights, small rivers, encounters on the way to school, you at the desk. If the years had been so gentle, we would not have been separated by fate. I chose a simple way of life and made a wish to the sky: there is no blood, rain and wind, only innocence and plainness. Just like when you and I first met.

Peony alias will leave. There is a custom in ancient times that when lovers are separated, they will give flowers to each other to show their unrequited friendship. The name of peony is the oldest of the flowers, and its real name is a word "medicine", which is mysterious. The Materia Medica says that peony medicine cures all diseases of women. And the peony is a flower sent by a lover. Is there a connection between these two things?
Red Medicine smiled and fell into the city
In order to facilitate the reader's understanding, I write articles in lectures and from the starting point of the modern way of thinking, always saying "how the ancients thought". What the "ancients thought", that is, handed down from the ancestors, is what we need to inherit. Don't look at the language I use as "what the ancients think", and think that it is just the concept of the ancients, and has nothing to do with themselves. The ancients did not arbitrarily think, arbitrarily compare, and refer to deer as horses. In the context of traditional culture, what is related to what, that must be reasonable, this is the wisdom of the ancestors. In the concept of the ancients, what flowers are related to love, that is, the communication in the aura of existence. Behavior causes a change in outcome. Therefore, friends who want love can properly contact these fanghua mentioned in "Butterfly Love Flower". Whether you have an object or not, there is no object of flowers to help you recruit objects, and it is better to have an object's feelings. These flowers correspond to different forms of love, please pay attention to choose the one that suits you.
After the flower introduction, let's talk about butterflies at the end. Zhuang Zhou once dreamed that he had become a butterfly, flying freely, getting rid of the shackles of reality and time, and happily forgetting who he was. After waking up, I still savor the dream of the butterfly, is it Zhuang Zhou Mengdi, or the butterfly Dream Zhuang Zhou? Is it anthropomorphic butterfly or butterfly butterfly? Reality or dreams, which is true? Reality may be another form of dream, and we always think of it as reality. The dream may reveal the true self, the dream shows the repressed subconscious, but we see it as illusory.
Acquaintances know what day it is At this time, this night is embarrassing
Butterflies are like dreams, which are both true and illusory beings, and also the life of Tongxuan. Butterflies are beautiful, which must have a natural indissoluble relationship with literature and art. Moreover, it feels spiritual rather than fleshly, and its body is a thin piece of paper. Although it is a real animal with a metaphysical body, it is like a metaphysical spirit. Why is Liang Zhu's soul transformed into a butterfly and not another creature? No matter how beautiful the animals are, they are all beasts, but butterflies are like dreams and souls, which is suitable for Liang Zhu's external incarnation.
Butterflies, loves, flowers. The combination of yin and yang between God and form, spirit and flesh is the origin of life. Modern people get married and have children, many just to complete the tasks of life, and they can't talk about love. This is because our modern human soul and body are wounded, blinded, deficient in blood and qi, and unmoving in love. Love is the kind of energy that makes butterflies fall in love with flowers, the kind of natural law, which is the most fundamental force of heavenly path. Therefore, love is also the most essential physical and mental needs of people. Need love is a natural instinct of man, why suppress it, deny it, feel that it does not matter? It's a deception.
There is no place for arrangement in the world
The butterfly love flower is also a symbol of the prosperity of China's Guotai Min'an. In "Dream of the Red Chamber", Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng wore clothes with a hundred butterflies wearing flower patterns when they first appeared, and the flowers wearing flowers also belonged to the theme of butterfly love flowers. Baoyu is a two-color golden butterfly wearing flower big red arrow sleeves, and Feng Jie is a wisp of gold butterfly wearing a flower big red satin narrow jacket. When the first appearance in the whole book of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is described in detail, only Baoyu and Fengjie are dressed up all over the body, and their clothing styles are the same, what does this mean? It shows that Baoyu and Fengjie are distinguished and extraordinary characters of the same faction. They all wore large red dresses decorated with gold in a butterfly flower pattern. Wisps of gold is a complex craft of extravagant materials, and the gold robe represents wealth. Hundreds of butterflies wear patterns to represent the love of China, flowers are Flowers. The big red symbolizes the Zhu Ming Dynasty. The person wearing a golden butterfly and wearing a red dress is a big figure of the Chinese local faction who is loyal and filial piety and wealth. People who are not native Chinese do not love red, do not love flowers, and do not love butterflies. For example, Xue Baochao, wearing white clothes, living in a cold and shabby house like a snow cave, claiming to have never loved flower powder, and when he saw a pair of beautiful and lovely jade butterflies (actually the embodiment of Bao Dai and Bao Dai) in Di Cui Ting, he also wanted to kill them with a fan.
How many acacia one-night stands The end of the earth is not long
"How can a dream be made of both joys and sorrows in the world?" If the human world is a dream, then why is it always difficult to achieve a dream and turn into a nightmare? The rich and noble fame mirror flower water moon is empty, but the pain is so real. "Last night Zhu Lou dreamed, tonight the water country yin." The warmth and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty are gone, and the Han people have died in the world and become slaves of foreign races. The flowers were gone, and the butterfly wings were broken. The dream of a beautiful and tender butterfly turns into a terrifying nightmare. Those who were not willing to accept the suppression of Chinese civilization and lost their lives shouted indomitably: "Butterfly dreams are even more crazy!" "Being laughed at by the world is a fool's dream. The world says: We must remember the way of self-preservation, pursue worldly wealth; abandon the adherence to civilization and abandon the morality of our ancestors; accept the enslavement of foreign races and barbaric exploitation; conform to reality and become a person with high intelligence, high emotional intelligence, and high slave businessmen.
The butterfly flies in the nightmare, obsessively trying to find the original beauty. The Chinese national spirit before it was destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty will surely return, just like spring will always return, swallows and geese will eventually return home, and butterflies are born with flowers. The obsessive lover does not give up.
Only acacia is like spring, jiangnan and jiangbei send jungui
