There are a lot of romantic pictures in July. The Chinese acacia begins to fall flowers, and when the wind rises, there will be a rain of pale yellow petals; ochre-colored pine needles fall into the cracks in the stone, giving a lattice to the pavement; Crape myrtles are also in the flowering season, and they are competing and blooming vigorously.
There is a crape myrtle road in Thousand Buddha Mountain, which is the most beautiful in summer. It was nice to stop and see the crape myrtle flowers there. It must be in the early morning or evening, when there is wind, it is better, otherwise, on a hot day, who has the Yaxing to see the flowers?
One evening many years ago, when Bai Juyi, a member of the Chinese Academy, was on duty in the unit, he wrote a poem "Crape Myrtle Flower": "Your Excellency Silk is quiet, and the bell and drum tower are engraved and leaked. Sitting alone at dusk, who is the companion? Crape myrtle flower to Ziwei Lang. "Fortunately, I have flowers with me, and it doesn't seem so boring to be on duty. Seeing crape myrtle, Bai Juyi also thought of his friend Yuan Zhen, who also likes crape myrtle flowers. There is a song "Seeing Crape Myrtle Flowers": "A cluster of dim will be compared, and the light blue cage skirt is lined with purple scarves." In addition to the small view of love, there are few different flowers in the world. ”
"Crape myrtle is most afraid of itching." One of my "mountain walkers", the painter Wen Lin, told me. Oh? She walked up to a crape myrtle tree, scratched its trunk, and sure enough, the branches and leaves swayed gently. It's funny. In the past, I only knew mimosa, but I didn't know that there was also a "mimosa".
Although it is itchy and shy, the crape myrtle flowering is not low-key, it is simply public, and the flowering period is also long, which is called "100 days red", which can be regarded as the color of summer flowers.
Crape myrtle is an ancient flower, because its purple petals echo the ancient astronomical "Ziweiyuan", which represents the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, and thus was endowed with a symbol of power, and was planted in imperial palaces and executive mansions for generations, and was popular because the ancients believed that it could ward off evil and ward off evil. So why is crape myrtle rarely in paintings? I searched in my head, and I didn't think of a masterpiece about crape myrtle; I searched again with my phone, and most of it was photography.
It's not surprising to think about. First of all, there is no "star face" that is "photogenic". From the level of painting technology, the shape of crape myrtle petals is complex, and there are many wrinkles, which are delicate and exquisite, but the depiction of gongbi techniques is too cumbersome, and it is easy to distort and difficult to convey the spirit when displayed with a freehand technique. The deeper reason may lie in culture. The "official-like flower" characteristics of crape myrtle are far from the indifferent and refined aspirations pursued by literati painters in the past.
Each flower has its own unique charm. Crape myrtle, waiting for more people to discover and depict.
Crape myrtle, written part-time with a job, should be very beautiful.
