Four poems of late spring wisteria flowers: Last night the newborn yellow finch flew straight up the wisteria branches
Late spring flowers are particularly strange, and many flowers and trees bloom purple, such as tung flowers, wisteria, neem trees, cloves, and early blooming purple weeds. If the flowers in mid-spring February are mainly pink, white and light red, and the flowers bloom in late spring are the home of purple, so when it comes to thousands of purples and thousands of reds, what I can think of is not the February of peach plums and apricot blossoms, but the late spring when spring colors are green onions and purple floats on the branches.
Of course, why this purple flower blooms in late spring, has to be studied by botanists, and I like the quiet and deep late spring beauty of purple flowers and green leaves, the most beautiful of which is wisteria.
Wisteria must have fairy meaning, ancient mountains and valleys, see the mountains or the top of the mountain has nearly white and near purple flowers, usually in the late spring near the summer, green and rugged like clouds. Ancient people believed that the mountains and the gods in the sky were close, and often the gods and immortals in the sky were also cutting a short path, living on a high mountain, and the purple flower clouds that were like the clouds in the sky were where the gods lived, right? It's a pursuit. It is not easy to find the wisteria tree, there is no god here, but the wisteria together with the trees form a natural beauty of the cave, the wisteria longevity, the branches and vines are curved, it is already the awesome beauty of the mountain spirit mountain god, and the wisteria flowers can be used as rice grain, and those who cultivate immortals meditate and live in peace.
At least those who want to become immortals in the mountain cultivation cannot but rely on wisteria, the branches of wisteria can be made into walking sticks of the mountain, where there is wisteria, forming a natural barrier, it is said that what to eat, what to eat, the purple and white sweet wisteria flower, eat into the stomach, detoxify the wind, the body is light and cool, between people and immortals, wisteria is the best auxiliary for promotion.
The Tang Dynasty officially promoted the status of Taoism and established it as the state religion, building a large number of Taoist buildings and cultivating religious talents. The bright colors of the purple micro star in the sky shine on the earth at night, the palace is called the Purple Micro Palace, and there are various Taoist palaces and talents to bless the prosperous world. The symbolic purple color is widely used in royal palaces and religions. Needless to say, there must be wisteria.
Wisteria is planted in almost every temple to indicate that this is the cave that is closest to the gods.
"Wisteria hanging from the clouds, flowers and vines in the spring."
Secret leaf hidden song bird, fragrant wind left beauty. "Sheng Tang · Li Bai "Wisteria Tree"
Li Bai learned the Tao in the early years of Mount Emei in Sichuan, where there must be wisteria. However, the wisteria of the Ziji Temple in the capital is his mascot.
Li Bai, 35 years old, met He Zhizhang, a secretary and supervisor who was already in his seventies, and he Zhizhang, the prince's teacher. He Zhizhang also advocated Taoism, and Li Bai had a kind of natural immortal qi nourished by the Sichuan landscape, which was in his prime, talking highly and his poetry was magnificent. Li Bai naturally did not talk deeply about his own downfall, and he had to leave enough dignity for himself and for Princess Yuzhen, who also advocated Taoism and was already listed in the Dao, and at this time he was a retinue of Princess Yuzhen.
He Zhizhang, who had seen a lot of knowledge, saw another self in this prime-age Li Bai, if he had not been a jinshi in the examination, he might have already exercised a body of immortal wind Dao bones in Huiji Mountain.
So when Li Bai showed his magnificent poems about the strange and magnificent landscapes of Sichuan, He Zhizhang immediately marveled, you are the reincarnation of the Taibai Star in the sky. Or perhaps during this time He Zhizhang was studying astrology and divination, and Li Bai happened to appear. What is missing, what is coming, is it not the wisdom of Princess Yuzhen? She not only knew the psychology of her brother Tang Xuanzong, but also knew He Zhizhang's thoughts.
Li Bai naturally knew how to do it, he loved the grandeur of the neatness of the capital that was different from Sichuan, and even the wisteria flowers not only grew luxuriantly, but also were neatly trimmed. More importantly, here is his dream, he wants to conquer the emperor and realize his ambitions.
Wisteria flowers bloom on the high wooden corridor, wisteria flowers are the most sunny flowers and trees, look, this clear sunlight, let them bloom flower buds, swaying moving.
Li Bai and He Zhizhang walked under the wisteria corridor of the Ziji Temple, the sun blowing his spring clothes, and of course stretching He Zhizhang's vicissitudes.
Yellow orioles chirp among the leaves, and the light of the wisteria flowers hits down, and the tranquility of a city is rare like a mountain.
At the same time, he and He Zhizhang saw Princess Yuzhen and her entourage maid walking in the flower gallery.
He said that the fragrance of the wisteria flowers retained the most beautiful Princess Yuzhen.
Here he and He Zhizhang have no shortage of men's aesthetics, but they are objective and bright. From the perspective of the status of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, Princess Yuzhen, who was already single and cultivating, was a fairy of the lower mortals.
At a certain moment, He Zhizhang must have felt that Li Bai was as penetrating and clear as an immortal. They are all talking about the red dust, but in a certain place they are connected, that is, the most peaceful spectator in the world, standing on the shore of time and admiring the Tang Dynasty.
He Zhizhang's calmness is true, and half of Li Bai's calmness is pretended, because he is still young, but this youthful grandeur is also the place that He Zhizhang likes to envy. He wanted Li Bai, the star, to rise from the wisteria flowers to the sky of datang.
"The spring color of mercy is over now, and pei returns to the temple gate as soon as possible."
I can't stay in the spring, and the wisteria flowers are gradually twilight. Don · Bai Juyi", "March 30th Title Ci'en Temple"
The temples in the capital all have wisteria, the most famous of which is the Ci'en Temple, which was built by Emperor Zhongzong of Tang for his mother in the Tang Dynasty, and by the time of Bai Juyi, it had been more than a hundred years. Then the wisteria trees here are already as tall and dense as ancient trees. Moreover, Ci'en Temple is open to the public and attracts countless tourists every year.
Wisteria flowers and peony flowers are all famous flowers and trees of Ci'en Temple.
Wisteria flowers represent the fairy, noble, and also represent maternal love and shelter.
Bai Juyi went to the capital, both of which were examinations or middle-ranking soldiers as officials, and he came here almost every year, sometimes with his friend Yuan Shu.
Bai Juyi's mother was sick, and at this time he was still in Anhui, and he belonged to the kind of reader who became a late scholar, only to be admitted to the jinshi at the age of 28, and he stayed up in a position like secretary Lang, which seemed to be of a noble and actual grade with a very low grade and a meager salary.
This is the last day of march in late spring, sending spring and stepping on the green, praying for the blessing of the mother, and coming to Ci'en Temple.
The huge wisteria flowers are in full bloom at this time, blooming and falling, and there is a kind of deep spring beauty in the temple. The interweaving of purple and green colors and shades, in the twilight, forms a sad beauty.
This is the last day of spring, Bai Juyi has nothing to do, he has something in mind, and he has wandered here for a long time. The slanting sun, the high beauty of the Mori wisteria, and the purple flowers that fall without wind are all over the ground.
The son wants to raise and does not wait, and his own youth, if there is still youth, has also passed.
The hanging beauty of the wisteria in the spring twilight, some people see the richness, some people see the fairy meaning, what does Bai Juyi see?
"Shadowy late state pity Dangui, grand spring light to know wisteria."
Whenever the flowers and branches are alone, Shandong has only Du Zhongcheng. "Zhongtang · Yang Juyuan and Du Zhongcheng Xi Zen Temple To See Flowers "Excerpts"
Yang Juyuan, who was contemporary with Bai Juyi, also witnessed the beauty of the flourishing wisteria flowers of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Juyuan and Bai Juyi had many poems to sing and sing, and the wisteria flowers in the capital must have seen countless times. However, this time it was with a high-ranking official surnamed Du who was watching flowers in another Zen temple.
Then the wisteria flowers handed down, there are countless temples alone, you can see the Tang Dynasty and the Middle Tang Dynasty, wisteria flowers in the capital, and the formation of an ornamental trend. In the late spring of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to peonies, there was this ubiquitous wisteria, in the temple, in the garden of the dignitaries, and even in the walls of the courtyard of the people on the edge of Chang'an Road, a cluster of purple protruded flowers and flower heads.
Dangui and wisteria are both famous Taoist flowers and trees. Dangui is associated with the myth of Chang'e Running Moon, and wisteria has a fairy meaning.
Dangui is also a symbol of traditional Coats flowers and trees, evergreen in all seasons, loyal and hardy, quiet and alone.
In the Zen Temple, Dangui has no flowers at this time, but it is quiet and green, while the wisteria flowers are dazzling and blooming.
"Sheng Ji Chun Guang Zhi Wisteria." It is the grand and splendid beauty of the wisteria everywhere in the late spring of the Tang Dynasty, the wisteria that blooms everywhere, and chang'an is the purple micro imperial city, a fairyland on earth.
So who was that Du Zhongcheng who came with him, and why was he sad?
Is there no such brilliant wisteria in Shandong, or has Du always had the ya wish to return to the Hidden Mountain?
Or is Yang Juyuan well aware that there is a late spring affair behind him?
Although none of them can be examined, there is no doubt that wisteria is the golden spring light of the Tang Dynasty.
"Last night's newborn yellow finch flew straight up the wisteria branch.
Swinging your head in the garden, it will be said that the spring light always belongs to Yi. Don · Anonymous "Li Deyu Xianggong Degraded Cliff State Three Songs Part II"
The late Tang dynasty court was complex. Li Deyu once served as prime minister and was named the Duke of Zhao, which is enough to prove his prestige and talent. However, after Emperor Xuanzong of Tang succeeded to the throne, he was demoted to Yazhou, Hainan. This is an official or protégé who sympathizes with Li Deyu for Li Deyu after he leaves, and satirizes the villain standing on the shoulders of giants like Huang Li Dezhi.
But if you don't look closely at the background, this little poem alone is actually particularly beautiful and moving, vivid and interesting.
The yellow oriole bird, which was just born yesterday, flew directly onto the brilliant wisteria branches.
You see them shaking their heads and standing on the high branches, saying, All the spring light is mine.
Judging from the landscape poetry alone, how beautiful it is in late spring. Shaking your head is close to modern colloquialism, presumably also the colloquialism of the time, shaking your head and shaking your head.
The little yellow oriole is enjoying the spring light, possessing the spring light, making people endure.
But from the background of its irony, it is a different feeling.
Some people say, Dream of the Red Chamber, one blow and two sounds, how this poem does not have the meaning of both positive and negative sides, what you see, is what.
Wisteria flowers were transplanted from the Tang Dynasty to Fusang, and Fusang liked everything in the Tang Dynasty, liked Bai Juyi, and also liked the wisteria flowers that bloomed everywhere in Chang'an at that time. Bai Juyi's song "Gradually Dusk Under the Wisteria Flowers", integrated into the beauty of fuso ancient literature, in the "Tale of Genji", there is such a garden landscape, modeled on Chang'an, in the dusk under the wisteria flowers, "The wisteria flowers are beautiful at dusk, why not come to the spring residue?" ”
However, in the end, it can't catch up with the late spring fairy meaning of the wisteria atmosphere in China.
