Story writing material about chrysanthemum 1
Speaking of the origin of chrysanthemum, we have to start with Nuwa.
When Nuwa was ninety-nine years old, her eyes suddenly turned red and she became blind one after another.
Fuxi thought of the stone lion that saved him and Nuwa when the sky fell. After the stone lion rescued the two of them, although its body melted, the bones it left behind - Qingfengling - were still there. He thought that since the stone lion could save their lives, there must be a way to cure Nuwa's eyes. So he burned three sticks of incense facing Qingfengling, knelt down and prayed: "Stone Lion God! Nuwa is blind, please find a way to cure his eyes."
The Stone Lion is here A figure appeared in the sky above Qingfengling and said: "Only the chrysanthemums in the Jade Queen's Garden can clear the wind and improve eyesight, and they can be cured by taking them with boiling water." After saying this, the figure disappeared.
The Heavenly Palace is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Fuxi's home, and Fuxi is already over ninety-nine years old. How can he walk there? So he ordered his son Youxiong to go there. Fuxi said to Youxiong: "Your mother's eyes can only be cured by the chrysanthemums in the Jade Emperor's back garden. I am old and have limited mobility. You can try to pick a few."
Youxiong is a filial son. , and went in response. He walked for seventy-seven forty-nine days and climbed the ladder to heaven for seventy-seven forty-nine days before he came to the Nantian Gate.
The Nantianmen Palace is towering and guarded by eighteen heavenly soldiers and generals. It seems difficult to enter. He walked along the palace wall, trying to find a gap. He came to the north side of the Tiangong and found a tall jade tree growing against the wall of the palace. He hugged the tree with both hands, stepped on the palace wall to reach the wall, took off his big belt, tied it to the tree, grabbed the belt with both hands and went down to the Jade Queen's garden.
The garden is full of all kinds of flowers and plants. It is the late autumn season. The autumn wind is bleak, the grass has withered, and all the flowers have failed. Only the proud chrysanthemums are in full bloom, like pieces of broken silver shining. , exuding a refreshing fragrance. No need to ask that the blooming flower is the chrysanthemum. So he picked the largest flowers.
"Who is so bold as to steal the royal flowers?" Yang Erlang came here on patrol, happened to see it, and shouted loudly:
A bear was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy. Said: "I am a bear, the son of Fuxi in the mortal world. Because my mother Nuwa is blind, I came to pick a few chrysanthemums to cure my mother's eye disease."
"These are planted by the Flower God sent by the Jade Emperor. Medicinal flowers are specially used in the palace, so you, a common man, can pick them!" Yang Erlang pointed at him with a copper hairpin, "Let's go with me to see the Jade Emperor!"
There was no way for Xiong to go, so he had to follow Yang. Erlang went to see the Jade Emperor. Yang Erlang asked him to kneel down in the hall and reported to the Jade Emperor about his picking of flowers. After hearing this, the Jade Emperor became furious and scolded: "In the past, your father stole my fire, but I didn't punish him. Today you have done it again." Come and steal my chrysanthemum, I want to settle old scores and new scores together!"
"Jade Emperor, listen to me..."
"Shut up, I didn't I will listen to your skillful argument!" The Jade Emperor ordered Yang Erlang: "Go and escort him to the sky prison!"
A bear was imprisoned in the sky prison with high iron bars and heavy shackles. How could he escape? He couldn't help but burst into tears.
The next evening, Sister Lei, the eldest daughter of the Jade Emperor, went to the garden to pick flowers and came back. Passing by the door of the Tianlao, she heard the cry of a bear in the Tianlao. She was very surprised because she had never heard a man cry before, and she didn't believe that a man could cry either.
Curiosity prompted her to walk into the prison. She asked the crying young man: "What crime have you committed? Why are you crying?" When a bear saw such a fair lady asking, he thought: Women are soft-hearted and compassionate, and maybe they will help themselves. So the beans were poured out of the bamboo tube, and the dragon and the dragon were poured upside down.
Sister Lei was moved by Youxiong's heroic behavior and filial piety, and fell in love with this mortal young man. She had long been tired of living a poor life with blue sea and clear sky every night. She envied the noisy world and wanted to go down to earth, but she didn't have the chance. Now is a really good opportunity. So, she decided to go down to earth and said to Youxiong:
"Can I save your life?"
"Thank you sister!" Youxiong knelt in front of Sister Lei, "You If you can save my life and give me the flowers you picked, I will burn incense and kowtow for you for the rest of my life!"
"Who cares about you burning incense and kowtow! I only need you to agree to one condition!" Sister Lei explain.
"Don't say one thing, as long as I can do it, I will agree to ten thousand!" Youxiong seemed very sincere.
"I, I, I want to be your wife! Do you agree?" Sister Lei said, lowering her head shyly.
"I'm afraid this won't be easy!" Youxiong frowned.
"Why?" Sister Lei opened her eyes in surprise.
"You are in heaven and I am in the mortal world. How can we get married in such a world apart?"
"I am willing to come down to earth and return with you."
"I'm afraid the Jade Emperor disagrees."
"We won't steal it?"
"This matter must be discussed with my parents first."
" What if they don't agree?"
"This..."
"You have to make your own decisions.
If you can't make up your mind, I won't save you, and your mother's eyes won't be cured!"
"Then, I promise you!" Youxiong said helplessly.
Sister Lei broke open the iron locks and shackles, led Youxiong over the back wall, reached out to grab a white cloud, pulled Youxiong to stand on it, and flew down to the mortal world with the handful of chrysanthemums in her arms.
In a blink of an eye, he landed in the courtyard of Xiong's family at the foot of Qingfeng Ridge on the north bank of the Yellow River. Fuxi was very happy to see Sister Lei.
Sister Lei picked up a chrysanthemum and put it in a pot to boil. After cooking for an hour, she poured out a bowl and fed it to Nuwa. After the medicine was cured, Nuwa opened her eyes and saw a graceful lady standing in front of her. Who is it? Xiong introduced her. Nuwa was also very happy and asked her to get married on the same day.
The next day, the Jade Emperor ascended to the throne to send Sister Lei to the palace, and King Li Tianwang played a calligraphy on the tower. After Sister Lei rescued You Xiong and the two of them became sworn husband and wife and came to earth, the Jade Emperor was furious again:
"Go to the mortal world quickly and capture her!"
Tota Li The King of Heaven said: "Your Majesty, please calm down and let me explain. Sister Lei has long been thinking about the world. She is your beloved daughter. Since you love her, you might as well fulfill her wish!"
The Jade Emperor thought it was reasonable and immediately calmed down his anger. However, he was afraid that his other daughters would follow suit, so he added: "Then, we have to collect her brocade clothes and prevent her from returning to the Heavenly Palace forever. "
King Li Tian nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Sister Lei has settled at the foot of Qingfeng Ridge on the north bank of the Yellow River. It is poor there. Do you want to help her order a dowry?"
"Well, you Go give me a thousand taels of gold. ”
“Gold doesn’t grow, it’s gone when it’s spent.” "
"Then what should I accompany her with?"
"There are many diseases in the world. I think it is better to accompany her with the four medicinal species of chrysanthemum, yam, achyranthes and rehmannia glutinosa, which are only allowed to be sealed. Growing in Qin Huai. She can grow these four kinds of flowers and sell them all over the world, and the money will be inexhaustible. "
"Okay, do whatever you want!" The Jade Emperor waved his hand.
Sister Lei planted the four major flowers of chrysanthemum, yam, achyranthes and rehmannia root in the Qinhuai area. The medicine is sold everywhere.
It is said that these four medicinal materials are also introduced in other places, but they have no medicinal properties. Only the ones in Qinhuai are full of medicinal properties, because they are sealed by God.
In order to appreciate the kindness of the Jade Emperor, the people of Qinhuai posted portraits of the Jade Emperor in every household from generation to generation, with the words: Enshrined in the spirit of the Lord.

Let the family climb a mountain and drink chrysanthemum wine to eliminate the disaster." Jing Wenyan and his family went hiking. "Also, all the chickens and dogs died violently. Since then, climbing high and drinking chrysanthemum wine during the Double Ninth Festival has become a traditional folk custom to avoid disasters. But the most popular one is to appreciate chrysanthemums. The ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is an annual festival. Double Ninth Festival. According to ancient records, "nine" is the number of Yang, and the ninth day of September is the double ninth day of the lunar month, so it is called "Double Ninth Festival". "Xijing Miscellanies" says: "Chrysanthemums are soothing, and the stems and leaves are mixed with millet to make wine." Of. It begins to ripen on September 9th and is drunk, so it is called chrysanthemum wine. Therefore, "September" has been called "Chrysanthemum Moon" since ancient times because chrysanthemums bloom in September. Therefore, there was also the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine in the palace during the Han Dynasty.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao’s son, Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, once wrote a letter to his good friend Zhong Yao about chrysanthemums. The letter said that he had sent someone to give him a bouquet of chrysanthemums because In autumn, when all the trees are withered, only the chrysanthemum is gorgeous and growing luxuriantly. It can be seen that it has some of the true energy of heaven and earth, and it is a good thing that can prolong life. Therefore, it was sent to him to study the principle of immortality. Tao Hongjing, a famous doctor in the Jin Dynasty, also agreed that people should eat chrysanthemums. He also said: Real chrysanthemums taste sweet, while fake chrysanthemums taste bitter. The poet Tao Yuanming often mentioned taking chrysanthemum in his poems, and said that "wine can cure all kinds of diseases, and chrysanthemum can cure aging". People love chrysanthemums, not only for viewing them, but they have also long recognized their medicinal and edible value.
Literati of all ages like to use chrysanthemums as objects of singing and depiction, forming a unique chrysanthemum culture. There are four screens of "plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo" in ancient paintings. Many poems personify the chrysanthemum as a symbol of people who are content with poverty, do not admire glory, and have integrity. "Yellow flowers evening festival fragrance" is the ancient people's use of chrysanthemum to symbolize the nobility of human quality. Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty wrote many chrysanthemum poems, praising "the beauty of autumn chrysanthemums" and describing the fascinating state of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountains".
In order to write chrysanthemum poems, Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu, who were later known as the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", discussed chrysanthemum poems. It was also very interesting. According to "Poetry of the Western Qing Dynasty", Wang Anshi wrote a poem called "Remnant Chrysanthemum": "In the wind and rain at dusk, the garden is quiet, and the remaining chrysanthemums are floating all over the ground with gold." After Ouyang Xiu read it, he smiled and said: "All the flowers have fallen, and the single chrysanthemum branch has withered ears. He also joked: "Autumn flowers are no better than spring flowers. I want to reward the poet for looking carefully." Wang Anshi replied: "Don't you know that "The Falling Flowers of Autumn Chrysanthemums" in "Chu Ci" is Ouyang's mistake." They argued. The key point is whether the chrysanthemum falls or not. Do chrysanthemums fall or not? In fact, this is just a matter of variety. Although most chrysanthemum varieties do not fall, there are also a small number of chrysanthemum varieties that do fall, but they are just rare.
However, the article "Wang Anshi's Three Difficulties Confronted Su Xueshi" is more specific and vivid about this debate. This article is contained in the third volume of "Jingshi Tongyan", but the person who argued with Wang Anshi was not Ouyang Xiu, but Su Dongpo.
According to reports, Su Dongpo went to Beijing to wait for a new appointment after his term in Huzhou expired. One day, he visited the residence of Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the dynasty, and was arranged by his servant to wait in the study for an interview. With nothing to do, he walked around the study and looked around. Suddenly, he saw a poem titled "Yong Chrysanthemum". There were only two lines in it, "The west wind passed through the garden last night, blowing down the yellow flowers and covering the ground with gold." The poem was not finished. He recognized that this was Wang Anshi's handwriting, but he couldn't figure out how Wang Anshi could recite such an unreasonable poem. Because according to his opinion: "The yellow flower is the chrysanthemum. This flower blooms in late autumn. Its nature is fire. It dares to fight the autumn frost and is the most durable. It will scorch and wither as you grow old, without falling petals."
Isn't it wrong to say, 'The yellow flowers have fallen and the ground is covered with gold'?" Thinking of this, Su Dongpo couldn't help but feel excited, so he raised his pen, licked his ink, and continued two lines of poetry according to the rhyme: "Autumn flowers are no better than spring flowers falling, so say Sing carefully with the poet. "After writing it, he felt it was inappropriate and worried about Wang Anshi's reproach, so he left without waiting for a meeting. Later, Wang Anshi learned that Su Dongpo had continued the poem to ridicule him, so he decided to shake Su Dongpo's arrogance and teach him a lesson. . Because the chrysanthemum that Wang Anshi sang was a special species, this chrysanthemum was produced in Huangzhou. Soon after Yu Anshi made arrangements, the imperial court appointed Su Dongpo as the deputy envoy of the regiment training in Huangzhou. As expected, the year after Su Dongpo took office in Huangzhou. A few days after the Double Ninth Festival, there was a strong wind for several days. Su Dongpo went to the back garden to enjoy chrysanthemums with his visiting friend Chen Jichang. Unexpectedly, he saw bright yellow chrysanthemums all over the ground under the chrysanthemum shed, but there were no flowers on the branches. This scene made Su Dongpo stunned. After being speechless for a while, Chen Ji was suspicious, so he confessed: "Ji Chang didn't know anything. Normally, this flower is just dry and rotten, without falling petals. Last year, when I was at Wang Jinggong's house, I saw two lines from his poem "Ying Chrysanthemums": "The west wind passed through the garden last night, blowing down the yellow flowers and covering the ground with gold." ’ The younger brother only thought that this was an old mistake, and continued the poem with two lines: ‘Autumn flowers do not fall as much as spring flowers, so I told the poet to recite them carefully. ’ But I didn’t know that the chrysanthemums in Huangzhou had actually fallen! This old man from the left moved his younger brother to Huangzhou, and he showed me the chrysanthemums. "What is commendable is that Su Dongpo finally realized his mistake in the face of the facts and became much more humble from then on.
In short, there are many stage names for chrysanthemums, all of which are poetic, elegant and popular, and have appropriate metaphors. , inspiring people's imagination. Materials for writing stories about chrysanthemums 4
