Six ancient poems of mid-spring peach blossoms: mountain walk in February spring, flowers and peaches new
Peach is common in ancient poetry, peach blossoms are red, bi, usually refers to the turquoise jade, there are turquoise peach blossoms?
Mid-spring stings February day, is the season when peach blossoms begin to bloom, let us understand the peach blossoms through historical texts.
Peach tree cultivation history in the mainland, at least more than 3,000 years, because the poem "peach of the death, scorching its glory", in the Zhou Dynasty was already widely planted fruit trees, at that time there were peach orchards, specializing in the cultivation of peach trees.
Peach trees are tolerant of barrenness, the fruit is many and sweet, is a fruit that can replace grain, the so-called fruit belly, that is, the peach fruit, the northern fruit of the jujube, because the plum and apricot eat more I am afraid it is not a problem of the stomach, it is too acidic and hurts the stomach.
In times of famine and food shortages, it was believed that the peach tree came from heaven, because the gods could live forever without eating as long as they ate some special peaches.
The earliest record of "Bi Tao" is the "Biography of Yin Xi Nei": "Lao Tzu traveled to the west, the queen mother of the province Taizhen, and ate bi peach and purple pear together." However, the version that has survived does not have this sentence, but this quotation is in the Taiping Guangji compiled by the Tang Dynasty. Because many books were lost between the Han Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty due to war, this Taiping Guangji is believed to contain some lost works.
That is to say, in the zhou dynasty Yin Xi and Lao Tzu era, it was believed that there was a queen mother on a high mountain in the west, and Lao Tzu met the west queen mother and ate peach and purple pear together. The peach here may be a white or green peach that ripens like jade, not a flower.
But the peach was also passed down, because the Queen Mother of the Western Mountains and the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens were really not far apart in the minds of the ancients.
Moreover, in the era of King Mu of Zhou, he also drove a carriage to see the Queen Mother of the West, and now it is believed that it may be the tribal heroine on a certain mountain.
In fact, the corresponding to this is that the cultivation of peach trees in the human world is very mature, and cuttings and grafting is the most effective way, which also obtains different varieties of peach fruits, among which also obtains varieties of peach blossoms.
Usually the resulting peach blossom is single-petaled, pink. But varieties of peach blossoms come in compound petals and other colors. The fruit yield of this peach blossom is not high, but the flower color is vigorous and beautiful. There are white and red.
During the Western Han Dynasty, legend has it that Emperor Wu of Han also saw the Queen Mother,
The "Inner Biography of Emperor Wu of Han" wrote such a detailed story, the Queen Mother of the West asked the maid to send peaches in, and the maid sent seven peaches, the same size as a duck egg, and the color was cyan. The Queen Mother gave Emperor Wu of Han four and ate three of them herself. Emperor Wudi of Han moved his mind and left a peach core, and the Queen Mother smiled a little, saying that the ground in your place is not good, and you can't grow peaches when you plant it. Emperor Wu of Han gave up. However, if Emperor Wu of Han had met the queen of a certain tribe in the north, it was possible that he had the heart to keep some seeds. It is estimated that as the Queen Mother said, it may blossom and not bear fruit.
In fact, only the peach blossoms that bloom and do not bear fruit have been produced, the reason why this beautiful peach blossom is called a peach, first, people cherish this bright and complex peach blossom, and second, they always wonder what the peach of the Queen Mother of Naxi is like? Is it the fruit of this intricate and beautiful flower? In fact, in real life, the more single petals of a fruit tree, the better the fruit, the rich flowers, and it is often difficult to set fruit.
Peach has been preserved as a variant of peach blossom.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the development of social and economic prosperity and productive forces, a large number of ornamental flowers and trees were cultivated. Peach is one of them. They maintain the plant characteristics of peach blossoms in mid-spring, are more luxuriant and colorful, and are mostly used for garden landscape cultivation of the royal nobility, among which Buddhist and Taoist holy places, often peach blossoms and peach peaches are planted.
Because in the Tang and Song dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism were officially promoted, giving a large amount of land to feed countless cultivators.
So when it comes to the peach blossom itself, what color is the peach blossom itself? It is almost impossible for them to produce peach fruits, but the beauty lies in the blossoming of flowers, with white and pink reds, clusters, which also make peach trees look like fairies.
The phoenix blew like a rainbow, and I didn't know whose house was outside the wall.
The heavy door is deeply locked and there is no place to be found, and there are suspected peach thousand tree flowers. Zhongtang · Lang Shiyuan listens to "Blowing Sheng Next Door"
It was a garden of the nobility, built on enclosures. Inside, there were sheng zhen and beautiful songs, coming from afar.
Lang Shiyuan's residence should be close to this mansion, but he can't see anything, only the blooming peach blossoms on the walls of the high courtyard.
Although the large garden, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty still held an open attitude and allowed tourists to enter the green, but it was obvious that this was an inner house surrounded by courtyard walls, or it was in the middle of the capital.
I went around in a big circle and didn't find any place to enter, because the door was guarded by a doorman, indicating that it did not accept outsiders.
This is like the Grand View Garden or rongguo mansion, people can only feel the beauty of the clouds steaming in the clouds from the vague buildings and trees.
Beauty lies in a kind of isolation and imagination.
It was the music inside that was vaguely floating, and swaying on the peach blossoms in the corner of the wall, so that people could not see the door, he couldn't help but imagine that the courtyard was the peach blossoms of thousands of trees, and the beautiful song was floating out of the pavilion in the depths of the peach blossom sea, just like the Heavenly Queen Mother Yaochi Wonderland.
"Yamayuki February spring,Resumuku's intention is true.
Woo Mungoshi, floating cup comforts the courtiers.
Birdsong vermilion crane old, flowers and peach new.
Tomorrow the end of the world, lovesickness is unmistakable. "Zhongtang · Liu Changqing's "Qingxi Road"
The Taoist temple of the Tang Dynasty was under the royal jurisdiction, registered, and as a post station for important officials of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan, and Yuan Shu all had such treatment, going to a place, first going to the temple there, if it was passing by, staying, if it was a local official, it could also be a transition, Liu Zongyuan was to use the temple as an office location, and also transplanted a large wooden hibiscus tree from the riverside.
I say these allusions, that is, many temples are in better condition than hostels, and after operation, full of flowers and trees, the peach blossom here is most likely to refer to the variety of peach.
In the middle of the mountain in February, I walked to this temple, and the mood of staying overnight was real and earnest.
More people here personally cleaned my room, brought me wine, and comforted me, an old exiled official.
In fact, reception is inevitable, and the monks here are not stupid, how do you know that there will not be a few courtiers and magistrates who can stay here? And the people here, not yet hoping to have some opportunity, to be appreciated.
Therefore, Liu Changqing is very satisfied with the human feelings here. Looking at the monk's house in February, the birds and flowers outside are singing, the peach blossoms are beginning to bloom, the mountain color is not old, the old one is him.
He's leaving tomorrow, but here he remembers it infinitely.
This poem can be seen that the peach maintains the nature of the peach blossom in February, but it is more pure and beautiful.
"Before the twelfth floor, I said goodbye, and the spirit wind was full of peach branches.
If there is a heaven and earth in the pot, it will be wounded and separated from the pot. Don · Li Shangyin,"The Giver of the White Path"
Talking about bi peach blossoms, we can't help but talk about Li Shangyin. This fairy boy, who learned Taoism in Yuyang Mountain as a teenager, was ready to change his life with profound Taoist knowledge and achievements, and he almost became a Taoist priest like Li Bi and Li Bai.
It was in Yuyang Mountain that he thoroughly understood Taoism and had a lifelong unforgettable love.
He knows many Daoist friends here and maintains good relations. It's just that Li Shangyin is definitely not satisfied with this, he is 24 years old, entering the army and the first, opening a difficult life path of formal entry into the career.
Li Shangyin is very knowledgeable, in fact, he can also rise from Taoism, but his love with Daogu has made him have no chance to quickly advance on this road. In fact, it is normal for a Taoist priest to marry, but what is abnormal is that the woman he loves is the maid of the royal princess, and this relationship has led to him having to seek another way out of life. But he has an indescribable affection for his old friends and Taoist temples.
This sentiment lasted a lifetime.
It was time for him to leave, and he said goodbye to the white road chief here, which was february when the peach blossoms were in full bloom here.
So what color was the peach blossom he saw?
I believe that it is mostly white, and countless peach blossoms sway in the spring wind, which seems to be more aura and fairy. And the girl he liked was deeply hidden here, hidden between the Yushu Qiong Building.
His farewell here was a great pity in life, which meant that he might never intersect with her again.
He was saying goodbye to Bai Daochang, with a solemn attitude, saying goodbye again, being grateful, being sad, leaving this fairyland-like place, being far away from the love in his heart, and wading far away from the red dust.
If a pot of wine is wide in heaven and earth, if this heaven and earth are just a pot of wine and a dry kun of immortals, I can't help but be so sad.
Because I am so attached to the stability of the peach blossoms here, and then it no longer belongs to me.
"Peach and dew in the sky, red apricots on the side of the sun."
Furong was born on the Autumn River and did not complain to the East Wind. "Don · Gao Toad "After the Lower First Shangyong Noble Waiter"
There are apricot blossoms and peach blossoms everywhere in the Imperial Palace and Chang'an City. The apricot blossoms are tall and look like clouds from a distance, and the imperial court will arrange a banquet in the apricot forest to congratulate them on becoming the fresh blood of the imperial bureaucracy, and the apricot blossom represents luck and is a two-way street. Your life path will be different from now on.
Then the peach tree is shorter than the apricot tree, but the cultivation of the millennium has many beautiful varieties, among which the royal and aristocratic gardens are planted with brilliant peaches.
The so-called peach and plum spring wind, peach blossoms are more gorgeous, and the peaches have red and white, intricate and delicate, and spring sunshine and rain dew.
Gao Zhan was very unlucky and fell behind. In fact, as a staff member for many years, he understands the tricks of jinshi and the first, and the same talent learns, and the final list is the son of the high-ranking nobleman, the cold man, waiting for elimination and the next round of competition.
After all, the Tang Dynasty opened up the imperial examination to give countless ordinary people the opportunity.
Gao Zhan's poem is in the cracks of being questioned after falling in the first place, how to write it so as not to offend people, but also to retain his personality and backbone, and to retain his work in the capital?
Yes, that delicate peach, is close to the sky, get more rain dew than others, that tall apricot tree, deep roots tree-like, so the flowering in high mid-air, easy to be recognized by the sun.
I myself am just a lotus flower born on a distant river, how can I resent the east wind and refuse to take care of it, and the sun refuses to soothe it?
My fate is like this, but it does not prove that I have lost to the peach apricot.
It was rare that he insisted on taking the exam like this, and finally the title of the gold list, a lotus flower on the river, finally floated into the heavenly court.
Then the royal peach blossom, needless to say, is definitely not an ordinary peach blossom. What you want is Fuli Peach, Bimei YaoChi.
"Yunlan is full of sleeves and leaning on the door, and the Dragon Cave is cold and sleeps late at night."
A song of vermilion who listens with the moon oblique wind shakes the peach branches. "Nantang · Song Wei's "Three Songs of the Title Tianshen Palace Part III"
It is certainly also a temple or Taoist temple.
Standing on the top of the hill, the clouds full of air, he leaned against the stone door on the mountain.
The spring night on the mountain was colder than the ordinary place, and the cold air rose from the deep valley at the bottom of the cliff.
Here, there are actually Qingxiu people playing musical instruments, but such a high place, in the beautiful music also makes people feel miserable.
The oblique moon is in the sky, and the mountain wind shakes the peach blossoms on the high mountains, cold and fairy.
The cultivators here endured the unimaginable loneliness and cold of others, or only this peach blossom knew their mood.
Is the path to eternal life a spiritual faith, or is there no choice of retreat?
I don't see fairy meaning in this poem, only that people here have no choice in life.
About the immortals, or there are, just why are the peach blossoms here so cold?
"The red rain is empty, and the blue clouds are better than Taoyuan."
The Junjia family has its own immortal species, and it is divided into deep roots in my flowers. Southern Song Dynasty · Wang Shipeng "Looking for Ji Zhongquan Bi Tao"
After the Song Dynasty, the cultivation and aesthetics of flowers flourished unprecedentedly.
For example, the peach here is obviously for the red peach blossom, which is a white or blue-white peach blossom.
Seeing that almost all the peach blossoms are red, it is only when this white peach blossom is as beautiful as snow.
The red peach blossoms bloomed like a xia, like rain, and I liked the white peach blossoms that bloomed late in this tree, better than tao Yuanming's Taoyuan wonderland.
I know you have one here, so please send me one, and I plant it in the noisy red peach blossoms, so that it is like snow and proud of the east wind.
The actual peach is a multi-petal peach blossom, a variant of the peach blossom, with red peach, bright and brilliant, with white peach, more fairy. There are also two different colors of peach blossoms on a tree, and even two colors on one peach blossom.
Delicate, gorgeous, rich, bright, elevating people's joy of spring.
Have you ever seen a peach blossom, which color do you like?
