Seven songs of late spring flowers: 10,000 branches of peony seeds, sleeping in red clouds and white snow
Twenty-four flower trade winds, which list the terrestrial as the second flowering season of the late spring valley rain, first peony, followed by neem.
Twenty-four fanhua trade winds originated in the song dynasty of the five generations, and were basically fixed in the Ming Dynasty, and the poems of the Song Dynasty were mostly indissolubles. What is particularly memorable is that "Dream of the Red Chamber" quotes the ancient Song Dynasty poem "Blooming to the Flowers of the Dragon", rendering the tragic atmosphere of the Great View Garden that will disperse.
Then it gives people the feeling that the flowers are brilliant, but after the flowers bloom, the most beautiful spring is over.
People don't know very well that the Grand View Garden in the dream of the Red Chamber has a flower stand with a dragonfly flower stand, and in the seventeenth time, Jia Zheng and Bao Yu tour the Grand View Garden, "turning over the hillside, wearing flowers and willows, and touching the stone spring." After passing the trellis, then enter the wooden incense shed", the trellis is between Daoxiang Village and Zilingzhou. There are also dragons in the courtyard, because Jia Baoyu's couplet is written as "Chanting into cardamom poems, sleeping enough to dream of the lotus." ”
But time has come to modern times, but no one can say what kind of flower it is.
Only know that it is similar to the rose, it is vine-like, the flowers are dense, spectacular as snow, and there is a different feature from the rose, that is, it is extremely fragrant.
But what kind of flower is this, so that the people of the Song Dynasty chanted a lot, and let the dream of the Red Chamber Cao Xueqin end the vast spring with the tail of the temple?
"The Road is far from sad and frosty, and the brothers are envious of the geese flying."
There is only an amorous chrysanthemum, full of color self-reliance. Excerpt from The Five Dynasties to the Early Song Dynasty by Xu Xuan's Nine Days in the Rain
The earliest ancient poem seen in the ancient poem is this autumn poem by Xu Xuan in the Five Dynasties period, along the way is a dragonfly, playing with autumn frost, my brother and I are separated, only by relying on a chrysanthemum to comfort the mood.
This should be in his homeland. The Yangzhou homeland in Jiangnan is full of butterflies along the road, but it is obvious that the butterflies at this time have no flowers, but autumn vines. Only chrysanthemums bloom.
So why is his homeland path full of clams?
In fact, at this time, the terrib should be an important economic vine.
It should be a variant of the rose, but the flowers and fruits are more fragrant than the rose, and in the folk, people use this fruit or petal of the rose to make wine, and obtain a fragrant and strong wine aroma. This is a folk practice.
Why is it called a terrier?
The actual rose is very close to the rose, which is also called the wall clam, which should be a white flower, or a white rose species that grows wild between the ridges, because the dialect is changed to the rose to distinguish the common pink-red rose flower.
Rose flowers are known for their beautiful decoration to protect the garden, while the rose flowers are more edible and fragrant.
"Bright red dark purple JingFenfei, sending the east wind without knowing it."
Occupy the remaining incense to comfort the eyes, and the hundred fangs are like a clam. "Northern Song Dynasty Liu Chang's "Dragonfly"
In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, ushering in the Taiping Dynasty, the Song Dynasty paid attention to agriculture, vigorously advocated the cultivation of various cash crops, and people made full use of natural plants, so rose herbs like tulips, which can be brewed in the folk and have great vitality, are widely promoted and planted. Gradually spread to urban gardens, private homes.
Then we know that roses are the kind of fine pink flowers that are very fragrant. But the white rose species, over the course of its long evolution, will focus on the aroma because the flowers don't have enough color to attract insects and animals.
This white rose-like clam will be more dense and fragrant than the colored rose flower.
Therefore, when the wild mushrooms are planted in the garden, in late spring, the flowers bloom like snow, accompanied by a unique aroma like wine, which is particularly attractive.
This should be the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, introduced from the mountains, unique in the city's gardens in late spring.
Red, purple and purple flowers, blooming in the spring, spring is going to pass, do not know.
But only the white flowers, with a unique fragrance, bloom in late spring, and as long as you smell that fragrance, you will feel that this is the most beautiful aroma in spring, it represents spring. So all the flowers, no matter how delicate they bloom, do not have the fragrance of flowers, giving people the feeling that spring is still full of wine.
"A bunch of plum powder fades the makeup and smears the new red begonias."
When the flowers bloom, the silky thorns come out of the berry wall. "Song · Wang Qi 《 Twilight Spring Tour to the Small Garden 》
This is the most famous poem, because the famous sentence in it has blossomed to the flower matter.
This is a small garden in late spring. After the plum blossoms withered, the begonias were red for a while, and when the flowers bloomed, the flowers passed, and the spring passed, leaving the infinite blue vines, occupying the courtyard wall, and ushering in the verdant summer.
So why is this phrase famous?
Because the flowers are whiter and more luxurious, like the snow of late spring, they are more striking against the background of green late spring. Another point is that the special fragrance of the lily, which is stronger and stronger than any spring flower, is the outbreak of its life in the most exuberant period.
It can be said that it is the sea of incense like snow that fills the spring air and achieves the most three-dimensional and rich spring beauty, and when the flowers are about to fall, this mixed with the special fragrance of the smell goes away with the spring, this feeling, unlike vision, can be recreated, and the aroma is difficult to copy, especially the large-scale aroma.
The blooming or thanksgiving of the lotus also means that it is the last beauty of spring, the beauty of breathing, which will be scattered.
This is also the dream of the Red Chamber Cao Xueqin's love for this sentence to open to the flowers, this kind of bustling feeling of going away. The aroma of the mushrooms is three-dimensional, just like the wealth of the Jia family, without entering that atmosphere, it is difficult for you to understand the dissipated sadness.
"Long remembrance of the cold food night of the old mountain, the wild dragons sent dark incense."
There is no vegetarian hand hairpin bun, and the folded frost is soaked in jade. Northern Song Dynasty · Su Shi", "Thirty Songs of Harmony and Keyang Chuan Garden Pond and Its Twenty-Three Dragon Caves"
Su Shi was already a man from the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, and at this time in the capital, the terrestrials in the garden were artificially cultivated, with many varieties and were twisted into various shapes. This already contains woody varieties like white flowers and yellow flowers, and hollow bubble varieties of rose flowers, but the overall characteristics of white flowers and rich aromas are retained.
People take advantage of the climbing characteristics of the tussock vines to make three-dimensional flower trellises, forming a snow-white cave-like beauty when the flowers bloom. This practice is mainly to concentrate more on the aroma of the dragon, sit in such a three-dimensional environment, drink alcohol, and create an elegant and quiet atmosphere similar to the mountain forest fairy cave.
Then roses can also make such a hole, but why is it a clam?
First, the aroma of the tersemble is more intoxicating, and it has formed a fashion trend of the winemaking of the tuna and the flowers of the tamarin with the wine.
Second, it is likely that some varieties of the flowers are not as thorny as the roses, and the branches are more flexible and easier to make artificial landscapes.
Then Su Shi's poem is actually written in at least two different types of dragonflies.
For example, he himself is in the courtyard of a friend to build a huge flower hole, smelling the aroma of the lotus, to know that this has been the flourishing of the flowers decades later, the courtyard of the lotus more attention to the beauty, most of them are heavy petals dense flower buds of the flowers.
But Su Shi wrote about it, once around the Qingming Festival, in the mountains smelled of wild mushrooms. Wild tulips must be single-petaled, or the flowers are more elaborate, which is the characteristic of the survival of wild plants.
This similar aroma brought him back to the atmosphere of déjà vu nostalgia and friendship.
But now that his life is stable and leisurely, he said that he did not have the blessing of a beautiful person to wear a tulip flower for him, and simply like everyone else, he folded down the tulip flower and used the tulip flower to soak the wine to express a kind of affinity and casualness of feasting.
In fact, in the cities of the Song Dynasty, at this time, it is popular to drink under the flowers, to help the aroma of the lotus, of course, the development of society to a certain extent, the aesthetic of formalism is also very important, the wine is accompanied by the mushroom, is a fashionable popular party drink.
"The silkworms are soft and do not wither since winter.
There is also a strange fragrance containing vegetarian, and the small groove can make the guest's soul disappear. "Song · Hu Hong's "Biquan Academy Even Book Flowers and Trees All Seven Songs, Six"
In fact, this poem from the early Southern Song Dynasty has extended the variety of the dragonfly to some evergreen vine plants.
We know that roses are deciduous, and there are some vines that are not roses that don't all fall leaves in winter.
The butterflies in this poem are certainly not white vines and roses, because none of the leaves have fallen in winter.
But the plant here is also called the dragon, which has a unique aroma, and uses flower petals to drink wine, which makes people intoxicated.
Then it can be known that the Song Dynasty, the definition of the dragonfly, is not so strict, many late spring white flowers, can use its fragrance, no poisonous plants, are called dragonflies.
Then half of the Song Dynasty's dragons into the wine are the fragrant floral fragrance that makes people intoxicated, and the other half is the atmosphere driven by the customs and fashion trends.
In short, in the late spring, if you don't make some flowers and wine, you can't stand the beautiful spring light that is about to pass.
Keep the butterflies, keep the floral fragrance. Eat into the stomach and keep the spring.
"One year, when the spring came to the end, the fragrant snow was thrown again.
Do your best to take a good look at the sandalwood heart, and stay in the spring to live in Mo Jiaogui. "Song · Ren Humble Zhai "Dragonfly"
This poem, in fact, is also the consensus of the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty flowers. When the flowers bloom and snow, spring is almost over.
But the flowers here are white flowers, yellow flower buds,
The yellow flower buds, like sandalwood, like the purest mood.
I want to look all over the bushes, smile and watch them bloom, the hearts of the flowers exposed, and pray that the flowers will bloom continuously and spring forever.
Actually, like roses, the actual tulips can flower until early summer.
With the tussocks and roses, spring can be stretched.
However, the real flowers are very helpless, because the unavoidable summer is right in front of you.
But the tulip flowers in the dream of the Red Chamber, who ended its spring? Could it be Xia Jingui?
"There are millions of branches on the frame, and more ripples under the flowers on the edge of the moon."
Three more than the house is high pillows, so cool abandoned do not know. "Song Dynasty Su Yan", "Jinling Miscellaneous Two Hundred Songs of 169"
Don't underestimate the productivity and demand for flower cultivation in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was the world's largest economy at that time.
In Nanjing, tulip flowers are planted everywhere, and many of them are official guides for urban construction, garden viewing, and tourist attractions.
The flowers built on the flower stand are literally a million branches, and walking under the trellis in the moonlight is as beautiful as a god. In the middle of the night, wandering under the flowers, watching people in the distance turn off the lights and fall asleep, I felt that the fragrance of snow between heaven and earth was all my own.
Whether this terrib, this terrib blossom, whether it is private or public, or growing from another family yard, and hanging over the wall, spreading in front of him, such a good flower and good moon, no one in the middle of the night, is also a unique scenery and style.
The flowers planted in the city fully show the economic development and richness of the Song Dynasty.
"There are 10,000 branches of peony, and the flowers bloom every other year.
If you want to stay in the spring color, you can't count, and you have slept in the red clouds and snow. ”· Southern Song Dynasty Su Yan "Hate Spring"
I fully believe that this is not his private garden, but the urban road landscape or public garden of Nanjing in the Song Dynasty.
Because the peony flower is on the ground, it is a low herb, while the tussock flower needs a courtyard wall.
No one will plant ten thousand peonies in urban private houses, first the courtyard area is determined, and the second peony base will be placed in the rural suburbs.
So this is the public belt or garden of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In late spring, peonies and mushrooms bloom at the same time, and in such a three-dimensional spring light, people's hearts are intoxicated, light and full.
I couldn't see the flowers enough, so I lay on the grass nearby, the peony was like a red cloud, the rose was like snow, so I slept on the grass in late spring and slept in the most beautiful spring.
A dynasty has a dynastic aesthetic. The Tang Dynasty liked apricot blossoms and peonies, both of which were appreciated by the city, and the Song Dynasty liked plum blossoms, begonias, and this late spring white lily.
In contemporary times, in the late spring of urban roads, there are also many roses, and the large roses that have been modified and grafted occupy the green belt on both sides of the road in late spring and light summer, which is vigorous and colorful, with the atmosphere of the times.
Therefore, it is not a pity that there is no Song Dynasty's snow-like mushrooms everywhere. Because the mushroom returned to the mountain forest, maintained the most primitive fragrance, turned around, and left the shadow of the snow in the poem, becoming a shadow of the song dynasty in the distance.
