Six poems of late spring peony medicine: red light shimmering green plate cage, still left peony medicine hall spring wind
I've always wondered why peony is called peony? For modern people, these two words are really incomprehensible.
But if you go back in the history of the text, you may be able to slowly get closer.
The poem is written as a peony medicine, and the ancient text is written as "spoon medicine". The appearance of spoons, seen in Oracle, refers to the spoon of food. In fact, the ancient people are very particular about the preparation and health of food, there are salt and plum in the soup, it is a salty and sour must-have, and there is a kind of ingredient accessory that is often added, that is, this late spring flowering, rhizome is extremely medicinal herbs, because it can detoxify, such as indigestion, abdominal pain, prevention and treatment of colds, ancient times to drive away plague, prevent diseases.
In the pre-Qin era, peony should be a wide spectrum of commonly used herbs. Among them, in high-end food sacrifices and banquets, peonies are added to the food, which is the influence of ancient witch doctors in sacrifice and life.
The ancient spoon medicine is mainly valued for medicinal value. This herb is commonly used in food, and the petals are as large and gorgeous as the spoons used for ceremonial utensils. Medicine is an affirmation of the value of this herbal medicine.
This should be the origin of the name Peony.
"Qin and Huan, Fang Zhuo is sloppy."
Soldier and woman, Fang Bingxi. The female is known as guanhu, and the scholar is known as the same.
And look at it. Outside of the water, it is humbling and happy.
Wei Shi and the female, Yi Qi, sneered at each other and gave them a spoonful of medicine. "Verses in Qin huan"
In the pre-Qin and Zhou dynasties, Zheng Guo retained the custom of going to the water in late spring, and people went to the river to wash their baths with herbs.
Qinshui and Huanshui, just the most pleasant water in late spring, Zheng Guo's men and women took the orchid, went to the river together, washed the green by the river, in a brisk atmosphere, completed the ceremony, came to the separation, and also gave each other the peony flowers that bloomed at this time.
Peony medicine is still called "spoon medicine" in this ancient poem.
There is also a most intuitive beauty, because the peony flower is large and blooms towards the sun, and we look at the "burning" that describes the peach blossom at this time, and there are spoons in the words, ancient food ceremonial vessels, made of bronze, smooth, reflecting the sun.
Actually later spoon medicine, only to write peony, add grass head, to distinguish the daily spoon and herbal peony.
At least peony medicine in the pre-Qin, it has the same important value as medicinal and aesthetic.
That late spring by the river, young men borrowed flowers to make love, and sent them generously and decently, so that people could not refuse. Who can refuse to need peony medicine, the peony flower sent to you, others do not know the deep meaning, but the people who get along with it, naturally know that the most beautiful flower given to you by light must be selective, such as good quality, is blooming.
Things are not expensive, everyone has them, but the way and details of gifts are enough to tie up love.
It is peony that was commonly used and used in ancient times, and peony can represent medicine. Red medicine can also represent peony, which indicates that peony has a distinctive large flower and that the rhizomes appear purple-red.
In fact, from the Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the source of medicine was mainly herbs, and the medical tao was of the same origin, so Taoists, doctors, and even royal aristocratic gardens were artificially planted with peony, and while obtaining the greatest medicinal value, they gained the appreciation of peony flowers.

Zi Yan Xiang Feng Chi, Ming Pei Duo Qing.
Shinmei is not my room, and The middle garden thinks about it.
Friendship is rich in pottery, and spring is full of flowers.
Ande Ling Fenghan, talk about the mountain spring reward. "Nanqi · Excerpts from Xie Shuo's Provincial Poetry
This is the office of the Qi state of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the royal Zhongshu Province, and is part of the royal architecture.
In late spring, the rain is abundant, moist and warm, and the heavy court is shrouded in greenery.
And in front of the gorgeous palace, the red peony, as if it had blossomed overnight in the wind and rain, bloomed extremely brilliantly, and it was simply overturned. And green moss breeds, which will form a green cave here. A secluded mix of green and red.
At this time, from the edge of the royal pool, walking past the solemn officials in brocade in turn, they could hear the jade pendant on their bodies making noises as they walked.
What a quiet and deep royal late spring.
But Xie Shuo was not satisfied, he felt that although this place was beautiful, it was too solemn, and he only wanted to return to his home in the mountains, where he could see the red peony flowers blooming, and the feeling here would always be different. The mountains and forests are good to let go of their own happiness.
However, "the red medicine is turned upside down." These five words are considered by posterity to describe the splendor of peony blossoms. Later generations often refer to it. Because it is a sea of flowers and flowers everywhere.
"Peony flowers bloom out of the old barn, spring shirt to hide tears to see again."
The master is not in the flower to grow up, more than the green pine to keep the cold. Don · Qian Qi's late Wang Wei Right Ancestral Hall in front of the peony flower blossomed with nostalgia
Peony has always been known as a fairy medicine, and has been cultivated by Taoists and healers. Those who pursue seclusion will naturally not miss peony.
For example, Wang Wei was a Hermit of the Sheng Tang Dynasty, half official and half hidden, running a mountain forest villa in The Liaochuan River west of Chang'an. He has many friends and pursues tranquility.
So when he died, many people missed him. Qian Qi was twenty years younger than Wang Wei, so He knew about Wang Wei's death and personally participated in the mourning.
In the courtyard of Wang Wei's house, the peony in late spring is blooming, which is the herbal flower that Wang Wei personally planted and loved before he died.
Money rises to see the flowers and think of people. It is said that the owner here is gone, but the peony flower is still there, for Wang Wei to open every year, and even the ruthless relative of Qingsong Immortal.
Here also alludes to the meaning of the poem "Peony Flower Parting and Returning".
Peony flowers bloom in the spring wind, a swaying and watching posture, more emotional, in contrast, those bright moon green pines, it seems indifferent.
Peony flowers are called away from the grass, will be separated, not only because of the poetry of the gift of other allusions, but the peony itself, belongs to the herbs, the herbs sway, the flowers are like faces, how much desire in the spring wind to rest, according to the beauty of swaying.
"The vast and crazy incense has never met in the past, and the red light is shining green.
Jue Lai was terrified of love, and was in the first few weights of the Immortal Palace. "Zhongtang · Han Yu," Peony Medicine (Yuanhe Zhongzhi ZhiYu Zhi Forbidden Zhongzuo) (March 815)
Needless to say, in the court of the Tang Dynasty, the luxury of the Tang Dynasty, the planting of flowers must also be scaled, a large battle, this is not, even the palace wall in the minister's office of the main hall courtyard, but also planted with trees and flowers.
This is not, peony flowers everywhere.
Han Yu wrote the emperor's edict documents here, worked the night shift, and usually estimated that everyone discussed affairs in the office place, stayed here to have leisure, and went to the front and back to shop.
This walk can be found to be strange. At least this peony flower was not in the sight of his usual office, or it was the backyard.
Carrying a lantern at night, he wandered around the backyard in the night, and he discovered the magnificence of the peony flowers here.
The peony medicine on the ground, swaying in the spring wind, swaying in the moonlight, a kind of majestic beauty swaying in the wind, with the fragrance of flowers fluttering.
The flowering peony, like countless red lanterns, was in the green ocean.
Han Yu not only saw the peony, but also dreamed of the peony.
When he woke up, he looked back at his dreams and found that he was dreaming of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Palaces in the sky, and flowers were blooming everywhere.
Of course he was shocked. Because some Confucian literati do not believe in ghosts and gods, but he is in the imperial city and dreams of the fairy garden, is it true that the purple micro star in the sky and the purple micro city on earth are true?
Peony fairy, is it also true?
If this is the case, he Han Yu is also a god dongfang Shuo who has been favored by fate, and it is fate to come to this human world.
I have to say that the richness and arrogance of the Tang Dynasty court, the prosperity and brilliance, and the direct pursuit of the Immortal Realm, together with these officials, feel that they are light and fluttering.
Of course, this also makes them fight for the fate of The Tang Dynasty.
"Peony chengchun pet, He Zeng envied peony."
Mai Qiu can be a few days, and the valley rain is only slightly cold.
Jealousy is frequent, and the makeup is exposed.
Hibiscus raccoon yarn companion, long hate across the waves. Don · Wang Zhenbai "Peony Medicine"
This is the late Tang Dynasty, peony flowers have become a famous flower in Chang'an Luoyang, well-known near and far.
But few people know that peonies are famous because of peonies. Because peony is an important ornamental and hairpin flower flower of the early Tang Dynasty. After arriving in the Middle Tang Dynasty, people began to pay attention to peonies, which originally had flowers similar to peony, because they were woody and taller, so they were widely planted. Moreover, peonies and peonies are often grafted with each other for more colorful varieties.
But the herb peony has this point of good, later than the peony flowering period, and widely planted, Jiangnan Jiangbei have, unlike peony, but also pick a place, such as the peony in the north, it is better than the south.
Peony flowers are different, in the northern Zheng Kingdom of the previous era, there are continuous bright flowers, and the peony medicine in the south of the Tang Dynasty is even more colorful.
Historically, the history of peony is far older than peony, so the beauty of peony medicine occupies history and spring wind, not inferior to peony.
After that Qingming, the peony began to bloom, leisurely in the aroma of wheat flowers in the field, swaying in the wind and dew of the valley rain, more common and more grounded than peonies.
Its herbaceous and delicate appearance, more delicate than the peony, no wonder the wind blows in a gust, is jealous of the beauty of the peony, but it is also the wind blowing, the peony flower is more delicate, the residual flower is also beautiful.
If the peony is Yang Guifei, chubby, then the peony is Xi Shi, the waterside huan yarn, a natural beauty is more moving.
That's the difference between writing peony and peony.
Although the world attaches more importance to peonies, to be honest, peonies are too gorgeous and thick, or peonies are more natural and beautiful.
With a cry, Wei Ziyao huang swept the ground into the air.
Thank you for the chemical pity and loneliness, still leave the spring breeze of the Peony Medicine Hall. "Song Dynasty Shao Yong," "Peony Medicine Four Songs"
Peony blooms in late spring and blooms into summer.
A cuckoo sound is old, representing the spring past. The flowering period of the peony flowers has passed.
The most beautiful peony varieties of Wei Zi Yao Huang in the Song Dynasty were also opened.
The fall of the peony flowers will make people feel confused, the most grand spring has passed, and the prosperity is no longer as prosperous as flowers, or there is, waiting for the next year, waiting for the next cycle.
But those familiar with traditional Chinese flowers know that after peonies, there are also peonies. Peony, as gorgeous as a peony, is a true herb of late spring and early summer, blooming in the shade of green trees and by the riverside. A flatter, expansive splendor.
When the wind blows down the peony flowers, don't worry, the petals have bloomed on the peony again.
This is the flower of nature falling and blossoming, endlessly, making people feel that spring will never leave, not on the peony, just on the peony flower, even if summer comes, spring is hidden in the pomegranate red, lotus fragrance.
If I had to choose between peony and peony, I would choose peony, a low-key beauty, as long and beautiful as her history. Peony's love is more simple and frank than peony's love, and it is also more long.-
