If the beautiful plants in the Book of Verses had traveled back to modern times, would you have known?
Yes, in fact, many are not only recognized, but also very familiar!
Let's take a look.
Figure 1: Wattle - Wattle
Jagged lettuce, left and right. Ladies and gentlemen, covet it.
It is also called wattle and blooms in summer to autumn. Why did the ancients pick lettuce? A: Eat as a dish.
Fig. 2: Crab leaf - reeds
Crabapples are green, and white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the water side.
Jiān :A reed without a long spike.
Jiā (葭): A nascent reed.
Reed flowers like snow, surrounded by still water, birds chirping, in such a late autumn, grass dew frost. The vast sky, the microwave ripples, the reeds of the forest waves, the beauty on the side of the water, although it makes people shake, but it can not give the hopeless, people far away from the end of the world.
The combination of reeds and water gives a mood to some extent, vast but with a little desolation.
Fig. 3: Yellow cauliflower
The grass is the grass, and the back of the tree is spoken. May the words of Si Bo make my heart sick.
In fact, it is yellow cauliflower, also known as forgetfulness grass, Xuancao, Andong grass. Do you know the story of The Forgetful Grass? I'll say it later when I'm interested.
Figure 4: Ai
Pi Cai Ai Xi, not seen for a day, such as three autumn Xi!
This is not much to say, one of the very important herbs of the Dragon Boat Festival, I think you must have seen it.
Figure 5: Spoon medicine
Wei Shi and the female, Yi Qi, sneered at each other and gave them a spoonful of medicine.
In ancient times, men and women interacted with each other, giving each other peony medicine to express the covenant of knots or the feeling of farewell, so it was also called "will leave the grass". And this poem is about the moving scene of young men and women in ancient times, playing in the spring, giving each other peony medicine, and making love to each other.
Spoon medicine is also known as "flower fairy" and "flower phase", and is listed as one of the "six famous flowers", also known as "Mayflower God", because it has been used as a flower of love since ancient times, and has now been revered as the representative flower of the Tanabata Festival, so in the future Tanabata do not send flowers only think of roses.
Figure 6: Amaranth - Ling Xiao
Tiáo zhihua (huā), whose leaves are green. Knowing that I am like this, it is better to be lifeless.
"Amaranth" is Lingxiao, a vine vine that blooms in summer and has yellow flowers. "Hua" means "flower".
Figure 7: Peach
The peach is dying, scorching its glory. The son of Yu Gui, it is advisable to his room.
Every year the peach blossoms are thankful, and the flowers blossom and fall for whom?
Figure 8: Papaya
Vote for me with a wooden peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao. Bandits also, always think good too!
One singing and three sighs, the afterglow of the afterglow, the scene of the male and female gifts of gifts in love and the inner activities of the three points of the description. As keepsakes, mu peach and qiong yao are given the symbolic meaning of love.
Some people think that this poem is about young men and women falling in love and giving each other gifts, looking forward to being good forever. But some people think that it is a depiction of friendships, gifts and friendships.
To fellowship with people is to hope that "today you give me a peach, and he will repay me with a beautiful jade Qiongyao."
Figure 9: Shunhua - Hibiscus flower
There are female car, Yan Ru Shunhua, will soar, Pei Yu Qiongju.
The flower language of Mu Jin Hua is "gentle persistence", each flower in the morning twilight, towards the twilight, releasing the beauty of a lifetime, and then silently make room for the next flower, withering alone, just like the sun and moon, the cycle of the four seasons, endless life. Just like loving a person, as long as you don't forget your original heart, to gently insist, no matter the low or high, only love is eternal.
