"Peach dreams, scorches its glory", from the beginning of the "Book of Poetry", peach blossoms seem to have formed an indissoluble relationship with women, and are often used by poets to praise women's beauty. Among them, the most widely circulated is the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hu's "human face peach blossoms reflect red".
When it comes to "the peach blossoms on the face of the person", we have to mention a love experience behind it. According to the Tang Dynasty Meng Di's "Benshi Poem" and the Song Dynasty's "Taiping Guangji", after Cui Hu entered Beijing to take the entrance examination, while playing in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, he met a beautiful woman, and stayed until the same time of the following year to revisit, but could not see again.
This infinitely sad love experience eventually prompted Cui Hu to write the popular "Title Capital City Nanzhuang". "The face of the peach blossom is red" is one of the famous sentences. It is worth mentioning that cui hu left very few poems, only six poems of the Quan Tang Dynasty, and the "Title Capital City Nanzhuang" was the most widely circulated.
《Title Capital City Nanzhuang》
Last year, in this door, the faces of people were peach blossoms.
People don't know where to go, and peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.
One or two sentences of the poem, "Last year today, in this door, people's faces were red with peach blossoms", describing a beautiful memory of Cui Hu's past encounters. This means that when the peach blossoms were in full bloom last year, it was in this door that I met her with a peach blossom.
There may be some other vignettes between Cui Hu and this woman, but from this poem, what cui Hu has always remembered and impressed most is her first meeting, that is, the beautiful and moving scene of seeing her for the first time.
The three or four sentences of the poem, "People don't know where to go, the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring wind", when the peach blossoms bloomed this year, there was no her in this door, leaving only the peach blossoms still smiling and angry in the spring wind. Combined with the previous "peach blossoms on the face of the person", when Cui Hu met her, both of them should be staring at the situation with a smile and a pulse with affection.
Therefore, when peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze, all that is left for Cui Hu is the infinite sorrow of the absence of good memories, the so-called "things are not people". It is worth noting that this kind of "things are not people", which seems to be just a simple life experience of the poet, actually speaks to the hearts of millions of people throughout the ages, because it is almost a universal life experience.
That is, a person, in his life, often encounters some beautiful things by chance and inadvertently, but when he is really aware and intentionally pursues, he finds that the beautiful things are no longer there. Therefore, while worrying about the loss of beautiful things, we must also remember that we must cherish every accident and inadvertent, it always has its own reason.
Looking at Cui Hu's "Title Capital City Nanzhuang", it can be summarized that he wrote about the beautiful things that have been lost in his memories, so there is "the face of the peach blossom is red", this depiction of the woman. It is precisely because of this beautiful memory that the poet will have infinite feelings of pity, so there is "the face of the person does not know where to go, the peach blossom is still smiling in the spring wind."
