Eight ancient poems of late spring flowers, interpreting the wine and flowers
Twenty-four flower trade winds, listed the terrestrial as the flower letter of the late spring valley rain. The theory of flower trade winds originated in five generations, and after the popularity of the Song Dynasty, it was basically fixed in the Ming Dynasty. Most of these flowers and trees are common in contemporary times, but there is a unique one, called the Dragonfly, which prevailed in the Song Dynasty, but gradually faded from people's attention in history.
Late Qing Dynasty "Dream of the Red Chamber" quoted the Song Dynasty Wang Qi's poem "Blooming to the Flowers of the Dragon", due to the wide circulation of the Dream of the Red Chamber, this beautiful poem, giving the magnificent meaning of late spring splendor and the sorrow of the last days, often makes contemporary people wonder, what is the flower of the Lotus, which can suppress the most beautiful splendor in late spring and become the final flower of the youth of the beautiful girl in the Dream of the Red Chamber?
It is hazy and gorgeous, but it makes people unable to grasp the reality, as if it is more brilliant than the rose blossoms, and there is a kind of bustling bustle and sadness in the moment.
So what kind of flower is it?
"Fragrant Qiong silk with snow wisps." Don Xue Xiong's "Appreciation of The Sauce"
Although Xue Xiong's life is unknown, it has been designated as a Tang poem by successive dynasties, and there is reason to believe that this was written by the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were dragon flowers, but at this time, it was called 酴醾.
This poem writes the characteristics of the flowers, incense, white, branches like blue hanging ribbons, white flowers like snow, dotted on the head like a cherry blossom.
Then in the Tang Dynasty, there was a kind of wine, called fermented wine, which was brewed several times to obtain a liquid like white and yellow, which was more fragrant. Of course, this kind of craftsmanship is certainly not something that the average brewery family says can enjoy.
The Tang Dynasty's "Chronicle of the Age of Renxia and Drilling the Fire": "The new jinshi placed a feast at the Moon Lantern Pavilion, or gave the following courtiers a liquor, that is, a heavy wine."
The New Book of Tang Dynasty Li Dai's biography: "The emperor entered the left and right: 'The bones of the words are bone-bearing, and the true prime minister is also.'" 'Send the messenger to give him wine. ”
Here we can see that during the Middle and Tang Dynasties, the imperial palace had a written record of giving wine to important ministers.
But does the fermented wine at this time contain the fermented wine?
However, in the early years of the Song Dynasty, Pang Yuanying's "Wenchang Miscellaneous Records" Volume III recorded: "The Noble Family of the Beijing Master mostly uses pickled wine, which has a unique fragrance." ”
That is to say, the brewing of liquor was popular among the nobles in the early Song Dynasty.
Then this source is most likely from the old customs of the court. After the Song Dynasty fixed the Dingjiangshan, the court etiquette mostly changed from the customs of the Tang Dynasty, and also positioned itself as the inheritor of traditional culture and customs, and paid more attention to traditional customs and culture.
So the yeast flower, originally a kind of flower that can brew wine, niche flowers. With the enjoyment of the nobles of the imperial palace as the main body, it gradually prevailed from top to bottom. In the Tang Dynasty, there was one.
It is precisely because of the niche, the wild, vine, and fragrance of the fermented flowers, unlike the roses that have been widely cultivated, became the new favorite of the nobility in the Song Dynasty, because planting to obtain the fermented flowers is the easiest way.
"Generate from the fire order, the color occupies the center.
The green leaves are green and the green buds are fragrant.
The clump is curved and dry, and the fibrous spines are sharper than the sharp. Northern Song Dynasty · Planting "Fermentation"
The Northern Song Dynasty's seed fang was actually born in the late Fifth Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain for many years, and began to become an official until he was 47 years old.
Then the yeast flowers he saw were in the mountains of Zhongnan Mountain, and the enzyme flowers were used for brewing.
The flowers bloom around the Cold Food Festival, the color is the most beautiful white like daylight, the leaves are round, the cyan flower buds have a peculiar aroma, planted by the railing, the yeast flowers have delicate thorns, comparable to the sharp edge.
Isn't this a rose flower? Only Rose has the ability to climb a railing in this way.
The fermented flower is a white wild rose, but it is a variant of the rose, because the rose is easy to identify, climb, vine shrubs, but combined with the poems of Xue Xiong of the Tang Dynasty, the yellow flowers are more flexible than the roses, and the white flowers are often hanging, like ribbons hanging, neater than the roses, densely covered with small white flowers and buds, with a strange aroma.
Ok, it's certain that the terrib is a type of rose, so where did it first come from?
"From the silkworm bush country, incense spreads to the weak water god.
Analyze the nose and want to stay in the spring.
Do not take the melanie flavor and mistakenly dip the Han Shou towel. "Northern Song Dynasty Song Qi "Fermentation"
More than one poem of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is written that the brew comes from the ancient mountainous areas of Sichuan, and the smell is particularly fragrant.
It is placed in the wine, so that the wine has a peculiar aroma, and it blooms in the late spring, keeping the spring.
But this fragrance is similar to orchids, but elegant, not the kind of incense of ambiguous love, nor the red color of roses, giving people a lingering association.
Then the enzyme is similar to the rose, but it is very different from the rose, such as the fermentation flower and the rose together, it is easy to distinguish.
The flowers are white and lush, fresh and pure.
"The fine bei flourished for the first time, and the climbing strip could not return for the day.
It is better to lie drunk on the bottom of the spring wind and make the fragrance blow on the face. Northern Song Dynasty · Han Wei's "The Yellow Flowers"
Han Wei is also an early person in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the flowers he saw were tiny buds, overlapping petals, and the second bloomed.
On a branch, there are countless small flowers with such snow white heavy petals, and they can't be picked.
This is the late spring season, the rich floral fragrance is intoxicating, the wind blows in a gust, it is better to drink under the brewed flowers, let the floral aroma mixed with the aroma of wine.
There are two main points here.
First, the leaves are many buds, heavy petals, and the flowers grow on flexible branches.
Third, it is common for people to pick and collect flowers, and the same roses are not used to pick wine or accompany wine.
Third, in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the liquor was a high-end seasonal drink for the nobility.
"The small garden is boiled open, and the box is mined to send copper to the table."
When the flowers are smoked with wine, they seem to come to the fragrant cave. Northern Song Dynasty · Wen Yanbo 《Homeland 酴醾送送送提舉舉劉司封》
It was the nobles who had such a need and elegant affairs, so the cultivation of the fermentation flowers arose, and when the wheat flowers planted in their own homes were in full bloom, they were collected box by box and sent to colleagues and colleagues in the capital to maintain friendship and even a kind of elegant bribe.
For example, this gift is like a tribute. My family's fermented flowers bloom Oh, I sent you in boxes, you look at the flowers, used in wine, like in natural fermentation flowers.
In the late spring of the Rainy Season of the Qingming Valley, The Fermented Flower Wine is a high-end seasonal liquor.
It is the fermented flowers produced in the wild mountains, the amount is small, and let the fermentation wine is particularly chic and fragrant, smart urban people began to ask for people rather than themselves, widely introduced. The nobles planted the wheat as a kind of nobility and show off their wealth. It is also true that Enough roses have been seen, such as the snow of the fermented flowers blooming in the garden garden, that is the visual newness of late spring, the fermentation flowers are also particularly face-giving, out of the mountains, the aristocratic garden open space, there is no competition from other herbs, good shelves, that is the flowers bloom like snow, the fragrance is overflowing.
For example, in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fan Zhen, "in the front there was a cradle, high and wide can accommodate dozens of guests, every spring, when the flowers are in full bloom, yan (feast) guests under it." It is said that there are flying flowers that fall into the wine, and when there is a big white afterglow, or when the laughter is noisy, the breeze is too much, and there are no ones left behind. At that time, the name was "Flying YingHui", and it was spread far and wide, and all of them thought that it was beautiful to talk about. ”
Drinking milk is a high-end life, but raising cows at home is a top luxury.
Fan Zhen invited friends at the Feast of The Brewed Flowers, or because the Brewed Wine was once the royal liquor of the Royal Family. Therefore, such a grand event, whoever arrives feels that they have improved their grade. After all, it was in the Tang Dynasty, and in that dynasty it was also the wine that the emperor gave to important courtiers.
It was really, the former Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people.
This is also the reason why the fermentation flowers were later widely planted in the courtyards of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Wang Anshi, who is known for his honesty and fortitude, is not immune.
"The first one came, and the water and sand were planted in the second place."
Thick green supports the clouds, and drunken red stirs up the snow. Northern Song Dynasty · Wang Anshi "Pond on the watch of the golden sand flower several branches over the brewing frame bloom two songs one of them"
Wang Anshi wrote at least four poems of fermented flowers, but he planted the flowers together with the rose flowers.
After two years of cultivation, the tussocks bloom first, while the sands roses bloom a little later.
When the tulips and roses are in full bloom, they are like snowdrops on one side and drunken roses on the other.
This also shows that in the Song Dynasty, although the flowers were similar to rose flowers, they were not rose varieties, because the flowering period was successive.
It was the fermentation flowers that were widely planted in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, beginning with petals into wine, and later evolved into appreciating garden flowers, and the name was changed from fermented flowers to yellow flowers, and roses competed for the beauty of late spring.
"Qionglin Hall side jade hook railing, snow covered new flowers April idle.
The shadow allows thousands of guests to sit, and the soft strips are ten thousand dragons. Northern Song Dynasty · Liu Chang's "Two Songs of the Dragonfly", Part 1
The imperial palace's tulip flowers are definitely the finest of the varieties from Sichuan.
And after artificial maintenance, it is spectacular beyond imagination.
For example, next to the railing of the main hall of the imperial palace, there are plants full of tulip flowers, such as snow and the lily blooming, covering the entire wall.
So doesn't the Palace have a special brew of wine?
Regardless of whether he had entertained hundreds of officials with liquor in the court, but Liu Chang walked under such a wall of flowers, he thought of it spectacularly.
This wall and the shade of greenery are so vast that they can sit a thousand people, and the branches of the flowers are like a thousand dragons circling on the vast palace wall.
Brain supplement. If the palace wall of the Forbidden City is covered with such snow-white late spring flowers, emitting a wine-like aroma, the hundred officials walking on the palace road also feel that they are like immortals, not mortals.
Having said all that, what exactly is the flower?
Being able to stand out in the Song Dynasty, in the late spring when the roses are in full bloom, let countless people sing intoxicated, can not say, just the aroma is good.
So let me emphasize another feature of the difference between the flower and the rose flower.
It is low-hanging and luxuriant.
"The most sensual spring color is this year.
What is less low is high to paint the wall.
It turned out that Haruhi was flying everywhere
The sleeping sativa grabbed the skirt line.
It is precisely the flower that is like a human heart. "Ming · Tang Xianzu "Lazy Thrush"
The Ming Dynasty was the time when the Twenty-Four Flower Trade Winds were officially finalized, that is, during the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the Tulip Flower was one of the most important garden flowers and trees commonly seen in the city.
Tang Xianzu Peony Pavilion wrote about Du Liniang watching the late spring alone in the garden.
I wrote about the beauty of the blooming flowers, the lazy flowers, the small thorns on it, hooked the corners of the girl's clothes. It turned out that when I looked at this sleep, I didn't feel it, anyway, I described the rose, and I also used the weak rose to lie on the branch.
Why describe the word dipterocarpa in the word sleep?
But if you've actually seen the butterflies, you know what sleep means.
The gorgeous white and full flower head, when in full bloom, a handle hangs low down, like a dazzling hanging, brilliant clean and elegant.
Don't sleep, how to describe?
It is time to bloom again, and the kind of blooming in the middle of the flowers is a grand spring beauty, the peak of spring, and it is also about to end.
Okay, what's the point?
The genuine product is a heavy petal hollow bubble of the rose genus, the petals are white or yellowish, the heavy petals, the flowers and the flowers of the rose are different from the umbel-like clusters, it is a stalk and a flower, so it is neat and messy, and the flowers and fruits can be brewed.
The late Song Dynasty also listed the heavy-petaled white rose of the yellow rupid, the white wood fragrance of the genus Woody, as ornamental clams because the flowers are similar.
The above pictures come from the network, which can basically be determined to be the real dragonfly, and also let everyone see the beauty of the real dragonfly.
