At least in the pre-Qin era, people used the function of the rose climbing extension to protect warehouses and courtyards.
But large-scale planting appreciation, in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, the aristocratic gardens planted this late spring flowering vine shrub, they grow rapidly, form vines, in late spring and early summer flowering, flowers blooming, flowers are fragrant, pleasant, practical function is that can form a natural barrier shade, protect the courtyard building and pond.
And the rose flowers are small and uniform, when flowering, the petals are centripetal and round, the bright and lovely flowers are dense, the flowers fall with the blossoms, with the meaning of the Buddhist "treasure phase" flower, and the rose pattern is widely used in utensil decoration.
In the Tang Dynasty, rose flowers were used for more extensive cultivation and appreciation, in temples, in gardens, in the courtyards of the nobility, in the homes of ordinary people.
Rose because of its vine properties, can be artificially made of various shapes, such as artificial construction of a huge three-dimensional flower stand, forming a beautiful barrier, not only can walk under the three-dimensional flower frame, enjoy the fragrant flowers and green shade, the giants are also in front of the rose splendid screen, hold a late spring banquet, flowers blossom thanks, with the wind aroma, become a luxurious decoration.
Ordinary people also plant roses by the courtyard wall, not only can you see the continuous blossoms, but also prevent climbing, protect the courtyard, and form a safe space.
It is the rose that can be used by people, and has the beauty of affinity, infinite fragrance, so there are countless poems throughout the ages. For example, the popular one is "rose wind up a courtyard of incense." ”
Then the interaction between roses and people is so close, and love poems about roses are also born. Among them, the famous artists Du Mu and Li Shangyin are the most moving.
"The dancing boots should be seen by idlers, and the smiling face must wait for me to open."
Without tears in front of the mirror, the rose flower will return. "Don · Du Mu "Left Gift"
The Tang Dynasty was unrestrained and sang. There were a large number of people engaged in song and dance entertainment, and in the central part of the Tang Dynasty there was an official music house institution to cultivate specialized song and dance talents for sacrifice, celebration, and entertainment. Then various local institutions and shogunates will also recruit some singers and dancers, which is part of the ancient liturgical music. There was quite a "literary troupe" that existed for a considerable time.
Du Mu was 26 years old and a middle soldier, but after the middle jinshi, not the imperial court would arrange an official position for you to be in charge of the political side, and would often let you go to various places to exercise, if you performed well and had a suitable position, he would be re-transferred, of which Du Mu had one year under the observation of Shen Chuanshi in Jiangxi, as a regimental training inspector.
The Jiangxi Observation Shogunate also had a set of musical teams, among which the thirteen-year-old Zhang Haohao, because of his outstanding appearance in song and dance, was included in the music book, often performed and sang on major occasions, and also became a musical talent favored by Shen Chuanshi.
Du Mu and Zhang Haohao were in the Shen Chuanshi Mansion together, and the purity and talent of the young girl left a deep impression on Du Mu, while Zhang Haohao was kind and frank, loved by many people, and the two people also had the most innocent friendship. Some people say that there was love between them at that time, which is nonsense. But many years later, Du Mu wrote a poem for Zhang Haohao, saying that you "spring wind ten miles Yangzhou Road, rolling up the bead curtain is always better." It is a sigh that Zhang Hao's fate has turned around in the flower season no longer. If there is affection, Zhang Haohao has more respect for Du Mu's big brother, And Du Mu at that time, he liked this beautiful little girl more, and his affection stopped at the inevitable gift.
Like the relationship between colleagues and colleagues, after staying in Shen Chuanshi's mansion for a year, Du Mu was transferred to other places as a staff member.
And the future of this little girl, Du Mu did not know after that.
The fate of life is really wonderful.
Six years later, he was drawn up by the imperial court to be the inspector of imperial history, is this not a good thing? But for Du Mu, this was the most terrifying year. His position just happened to be assigned to Luoyang, not Chang'an, and Du Mu was not in a very happy mood at that time, after all, Luoyang was the capital of luoyang, and the promotion was not so fast. But the next thing, du Mu didn't know whether it was a happy fluke or a shock. Not long after he went to Luoyang, there was a change in the Chang'an court, that is, in the court, the eunuch blocked the palace gate and killed a large number of officials. The cause of this incident was a power struggle between the emperor and the eunuchs, but the sacrifice was an unarmed Manchu official, and few survived, and Du Mu was shocked to hear about it in Luoyang. His mentors, and many friends, died in it.
And although the change of manna was superficially calm, it did not give justice to these deceased. Only then did Du Mu know that his career was sinister and he had no basis for retreat. Moreover, he obviously did not know what he would face in the future, and the government of the DPRK was absurd and ruined to such an extent that the ideal of serving the country was turned into sadness.
And at this time, he was in a state of despair and distress. The horse walked through the streets of Luoyang, and was stopped by a voice that seemed familiar, and when he looked, it was actually Zhang Haohao.
It turned out that Zhang Haohao opened a small shop in Luoyang, relying on song and dance to attract customers and support himself.
Zhang Haohao is still so beautiful, but a few years have added a little vicissitudes and maturity. However, Zhang Haohao was still the same as before, rushing to call brother, but said, how can you be so haggard now, you actually grew white hair, how young and handsome you were at that time, what happened in the end?
Du Mu was actually a man who could hold back, but suddenly encountered the inquiry and concern of such a deceased confidant, and instantly broke the defense, how could he talk like this gentle girl like a family about his dissatisfaction for so many years, and the wind and rain of the court?
He also wanted to know how Zhang Haohao was in Luoyang now. Zhang Haohao told him that because of her outstanding talent, at the age of 15, she was accepted as a concubine by Shen Chuanshi, and later when Shen Chuanshi died, she was dismissed and exiled to Luoyang for life. But Zhang Haohao has a kind of tenacity, that is, he relies on his own talents and sells alcohol to survive, and gradually has a fixed guest.
Du Mu saw the tragic life of a talented woman in Zhang Haohao, there was regret and respect, and there was a sense of confidant after the fall, which also stimulated his desire to protect, which was the only male feeling that Du Mu could release in his repressed career life.
He did not shy away from his sympathy and love for Zhang Haohao, and in the capacity of a royal historian, he specially wrote poems for her, let Zhang Hao make a good name, and personally brought people over to take care of the business. He wanted to top this talented woman who was equally downcast.
Two years later, when Du Mu was transferred to other places, he suddenly realized that there had always been the deepest love between them. In the face of another long separation, Zhang Hao cried well, and Du Mu suddenly felt that he could not eat or taste, "But he could not laugh in front of the bottle." ”
It was also this separation that made Du Mu understand his heart.
At this time, the people of Luoyang had many eyes, and Du Mu certainly could not marry Zhang well, but they had affection and commitment. Zhang Haohao continued to run the hotel in Luoyang, while Du Mu would find a way to come back and arrange Zhang Haohao's future.
This poem is written during the parting period at this time, when Zhang Haohao is 21 years old and Du Mu is 33 years old, and true love is just in time.
And the rose blossoms bloom all over the courtyard wall in late spring, dancing in the wind, like a beautiful and light dance, and like a souvenir of reluctance.
Well, don't worry. Right here, dancing like a rose flower, let others appreciate your dancing style, and live up to your talents and talents, but your most frank smile, please leave it to me, wait for me to come back.
Don't cry in front of this beautiful mirror, wait for the roses to thank you, that is, summer, I will come back.
I will come back and arrange everything for me and you.
This poem also has a meaning, my relationship with you, not color, but the deep years, I have loved your budding girlhood moment, loved your bright and moving rose youth, I will also love the beauty of your youth. I give you the confidence.
This is Du Mu's love extravagance and sincerity.
"The blossoms of the spirit leaves are soft, and the fragrance of rain and sunshine blows intoxicating people's heads."
The Shi family was still there, idly leaning on the fierce wind and not receiving it at night. Don Du Mu "Rose Flower"
Everyone is also familiar with one of Du Mu's falling flowers, "The prosperous things scatter incense dust, the flowing water is merciless and the grass is from the spring, the sun and the east wind complain about the birds, and the falling flowers are like people who have fallen into the building." Du Mu is the story of Shi Chong, the former owner of Jingu Garden, and Lu Zhu.
The green pearl girl loves Shi Chong with her talent, and later, someone asked for the green pearl, Shi Chong refused, and after the green pearl girl heard about this, she died and jumped off the building to repay Shi Chong's love.
Then Zhang Haohao, for Du Mu, the relationship between Him and Lu zhu Shi Chong is actually the same. Lu Zhu loves Shi Chong, not because they are just vassals, but because they are sincere lovers and confidants, so Lu Zhu has such a temperament.
Although Du Mu did not have the wealth of Shi Chong, his love and protection for Zhang Hao was the same heat.
He is to be a contemporary Shi Chong, cherishing the green pearl.
He used the rose flower as a metaphor for Zhang's good bright tenacity and gave her enough confidence.
Rose flowers, blossom spirit, soft leaves.
Rain or shine, roses soothe people with their usual fragrance.
Shi Chongjia's rose screen is still there, rose flower, you leisurely lean on the rose rack, let the wind blow through, the wind and rain will only make you more proud, more bright, more moving!
This is Du Mu using rose flowers to compare Zhang Haohao, you can rest assured that singing and dancing, happy life in Luoyang. I like your tenacity, your frankness, your singing and dancing talent, I am Shi Chong, giving you confidence. Wait for me to come back!
So where is Zhang's good ending?
Although Du Mushi's career was not smooth, he was always a middle-class and high-class official, and with the longer his seniority, the more stable his life would be.
He didn't let it go because Zhang had a good day to spend a day.
Therefore, Du Mu must have made arrangements for Zhang Well.
The first is to incorporate it into the mansion, give music and singing freedom, and adjust the singers in the family.
The second is to accept as a concubine, but this must be fully obtained by Zhang Haohao's own wishes.
The third is to arrange a good marriage and pension.
Either way, for Zhang Hao, who is like a rose flower, it is a better ending than drifting zero.
Love a person, the most beautiful blossom, just fate and beginning, love a person, is life and care, a long destiny, do not give up, good beginning and end.
