The anchor reads the classics and accompanies you to say goodnight. Hello everyone Here is lightning night reading, I am Zou Lu Rong media anchor Yang Fei. There are different flowers blooming all year round, and we can verify it without leaving Muang Province, because Muang House is a big garden. To share with you tonight is the writer Sun Jiquan's article "The Flowers of Mengfu".
Flowers of Mon Province
Friends said that the tassels of Meng Fu have blossomed, so you should go and see it.
There are only two fringe trees in Zoucheng, which grow in front of the Mengfu Zhishu Building. The tree is a big tree, and every April and May, its flowers are dense and flourishing, which is a scene of Mengfu.
Entering the Meng Mansion, you can see the tassel eye-catching flower crown, which is white all over, like a cloud, a fog or a light smoke, where it freezes and does not move, making people suddenly reverie. Even when you walk under the tree, you can't see the independent flowers, let alone the petals. My friend found a ladder and put it on the nearest wall so that I could see and take pictures up close. But I climbed up the ladder and what I saw was still a blur. We picked up a flower under a tree and found that it was shaped like an umbrella, resembling a broken snowflake, and it is no wonder that people call the tassel "April snow".
At this time, the terrier also blossomed. There are four trees in Mengfu, two white and two yellow. The largest one is in front of seondo and blooms white. It is also called "Ten Li Xiang". According to sources, when the tree bloomed, "half the city was filled with a strong fragrance of flowers." "That was before. Now look, this is not possible. However, it is no exaggeration to say that if you enter the Mengfu, you can smell the flowers of the dragonfly.
Wang Qi of the Song Dynasty has a poem: "It has blossomed to the flowers of the dragon". I have always disagreed. In fact, there are different flowers blooming all year round, how can it be "gone"? We can verify it without leaving Mengfu, because Mengfu is a big garden, and the fragrance of flowers wafts in spring, summer, autumn and winter. In spring, there are forsythia, apricot, peach, purple leaf plum, papaya, begonia, cherry blossom, peony, peony, peony, clove, bauhinia, wisteria, magnolia, pentagram, ground yellow, bitter vegetable, dandelion, cat's eye grass; in summer there are roses, hibiscus, moon season, purple violet, locust, pomegranate, water lily, sea tree, water bamboo, caryophyll, stone orchid, banyan tree, palm, luan tree, privet; in autumn there are goji berries, prunes, cannabis, chrysanthemums, osmanthus flowers, wattles, morning glory, gynostemma, lantern grass, forget me; in winter there are plum blossoms...
The inner courtyard is called "Shi En Tang", which is the place where the descendants of the Meng family live. The last to live here was Mencius' seventy-fourth grandson, Meng Fanji. In 1945, Meng Fanji moved to Nanjing, and in 1949 went to Taiwan. Since then, no one has ever lived here really. Today, in the "Shi'en Hall", we can see the photos of Meng Fanji and his wife Wang Shufang, Meng Fanji Ruya, Wang Shufang Wenjing, I want to come to them here to live a very good life, the mood is more stable and peaceful.
From the second year of Ming Jingtai, the 56th generation of Mencius' grandson Meng Xiwen was crowned as the hereditary Doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, and in the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, the title of "Hereditary Doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy" was inherited in the Meng family for 18 generations, nearly 500 years. Although the Meng family has always enjoyed the treatment of Zhengqipin, their main duties are to take care of and maintain the Forest Temple, worship the ancestors, and promote Confucian culture, "official business" is not too busy, and there is no need to get involved in official battles and be sad and tired, so the heart is pure, and life is leisurely and calm. They have leisure and the mood to serve the flowers and trees in the courtyard and cultivate fruits and vegetables at four o'clock.
Most of the trees and flowers in Mengfu are hundreds or hundreds of years old, they are not planted in a day, they are carefully cultivated and maintained by generations of painstaking efforts. It can be said that where to plant a tree, what tree to plant, there is a clear intention of the owner, all reflect the master's intention and intention. Every tree and flower has accompanied its owner through a long time, and there has been an untold story. If Mr. Meng Fanji is alive, he may be able to tell us some wonderful allusions that happened between these flowers and trees, but Mr. Meng Fanji has already made an ancient. Only these red, white, pink, yellow, and purple flowers open and close, telling languages that we cannot hear, and pouring out secrets that no one knows.
Whenever I see these flowers, I can't help but think of the many flowers and trees and mottled personnel of Mengfu, taste the warmth and calmness of their flowers, the blindness and cold silence, and think of the bitterness buried behind their laughter and the hidden desolation behind the bustle.
