Text/Zhang Yue
In early summer, in May, the grass begins to bloom, the flowers are tall and tall, and the orange-red flowers are like lilies.
Mother's Day is also on the second Sunday of May in early summer, and if carnations are the mother flower of the West, the grass is the mother flower of China.
Mengjiao has a poem "Wandering Son"
Poetry Cloud:
Xuancao ShengTang Steps,
Wanderers travel to the ends of the world.
Loving-kindness leaning on the door of the church,
There are no grass flowers.
"Beitang Zhixuan" is also extended to the love of mother and child.
The "Poetry Sutra" said: "The north hall is dark, you can plant Xuan".
The Chinese call the mother "Xuantang", and "Xuan" represents the mother. Since then, the grass has become a synonym for mothers, and naturally has become the flower of mothers in our country. Many literati and inkers will add grass flowers to their works to praise their mothers.
It is a perennial herb with slender leaves, with upright flower stems drawn from the leaves in early summer, and the top of the stem is branched into buds. The flowers are cylindrical, with a six-petal corolla and deep lobes. The flowers are yellow and orange-red, with darker petals and a shallow dorsal complexion, with shorter peduncles. The flower buds have six stamens and one pistil.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty poet Tao Yuanming wrote in the "Drinking Poems": "Pan this forgets worries, far away from my worldly feelings." ”
In the eyes of chinese poets, Xuancao was regarded as a flower that made people forget their worries and relieve their sorrows and nourish their moods. Therefore, it is also known as "forgetfulness grass".
Forget worry grass is a grass, but it is not the yellow cauliflower that is usually eaten, but it belongs to a kind of plant such as large bud grass and golden doll grass. Herbaceous, with yellow lily-shaped flowers.
In this season, through the call of the sun and rain, at a glance, I can see that it has arrived at the window and stayed by the pool, like a young girl standing in the sky.
"Although the grass is slightly flowered, Gu Xiu can extricate herself."
Xuancao, a common plant that looks insignificant, carries multiple beautiful symbolic meanings with its soft posture, and all kinds of Xuancao drawings that come into being, under the bland picture, flow with an endless beautiful feeling.
From the perspective of tracing back to the roots, Xuancao forgets worries is the foundation of various cultural connotations of Xuancao.
Xuancao is also an important subject in the art of Chinese flower and bird painting, and the symbolic meaning of Xuancao is also different in different paintings of different periods.
In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Chang, a flower and bird painter, created "Xuan Cao Tu", "Xuan Cao Play Cat", "Xuan Cao Durian Flower Tu", which has a good meaning of blessing happiness and worry-free, health and longevity.
The pen and ink characteristics and picture connotations of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji's "Xuanhua Double Dog Diagram" make the meaning of Xuancao Yizi self-evident.
The painter Shen Zhou once gave his "Huaixuan Tu" as a gift to his friend Wang Jun, so that he could forgive his thoughts about his deceased mother.
There are also some Xuan sketches that mostly combine Xuancao with auspicious items such as turquoise, bamboo stone, and Ganoderma lucidum, expressing a kind of auspicious birthday meaning of Ji Rui, thus having a richer and more profound connotation.
The painter inscribed himself " Flowers bloom and smile, above the North Hall, a hundred years old spring and autumn, a lifetime of joy, never worry about people, and sure enough, Xuancao can forget worries." The poems he wrote himself in Qing Jinnong's "Xuan Cao Tu" complement the feelings of forgetting worries.
Life is not bitter, the bitter thing is too much desire; the soul is not tired, tired is to grab too much. Life forgets sorrow, bittersweet and sweet, life is really sad and happy, and life is past to understand life.
Xuancao's yellow and beautiful face, flowers blooming, fragrant smell, a faint fragrance slowly into the lungs. Let's experience it with our hearts in the sketches of the past generations painted by the painters, so that people's lives will be full and wonderful.
It is so good to find this yellow flower that can calm my heart and calm my God!
