The flower to be cold is orchid, elegant and meaningful, and it is the flower of a gentleman; Expensive and extraordinary, it is the fragrance of the king; Excellence is a metaphor for saints.
The beauty of orchids, like a cloud coming out of a hole, is elegant and beautiful in Shan Lan after the rain.
The fragrance of orchids is faint and lingering, such as silk, endless and fragrant.
Seemingly exquisite and slim, it is not amazing, but it has a clean, independent and outstanding gentleman character.
Indifferent and safe, just like its fragrance, it makes people tireless for a long time, relaxed and happy, dyes their skirts, smells fragrant, relaxed and happy, and has a clear soul.
Empty valley and secluded orchid, indifferent heart
Orchid was born in an empty valley in Shan Ye, and it has a natural indifference and alienation, just like a gentleman who doesn't like the noisy crowd, walking quietly in this noisy world.
A gentleman's staying away from the street is neither too hot nor too cold, just like an orchid, clean and free from dye, and full of fragrance-just like the virtue of a gentleman, it affects all beings, such as the goodness of a gentleman and warms the world.
Lan Zhi was born in a secluded valley, not because there was no one, but because it was not fragrant. Xiu De, a gentleman, didn't change his faith because he was poor.
-Excerpt from Confucius' Family Language
As the saying goes, if the spirit is blue and persistent, if the heart is blue and persistent, orchids also mean that a gentleman is not easy to change discipline.
Orchids are born in secluded places, and they don't give up blooming because no one appreciates them. They exude fragrance-just like a gentleman's self-cultivation, and they don't change their ethics because of the external environment and their own conditions.
Confucius admired the integrity of orchids most. He once saw orchids flourishing when he was in trouble on the way, and made a piano song "You Cao Lan" at the wrong time, which was full of fragrance. If you don't pick it, you will be hurt by Yu Lan. "
Found, loved and admired by people, there are many stories about orchids from ancient times to the present, but it is still as comfortable, fragrant and clean as it was in Shan Ye, silently bringing more beauty and enlightenment to the world.
There is no spring breeze in life, but Chu Shi's home in the mountains is famous.
Throughout the ages, there are too many people who like orchids. In Zhang Dai's Dream, I wrote about my old friends Fan and Lan, who raised more than 30 pots of orchids, carefully maintained them in cold and summer, and worked hard all year round.
When the flowers bloom, the guests only sit for a while, and the fragrance stays in the clothes for three to five days. The smell is so strong that they dare not smell it with their noses, just like drinking dew.
Orchids are cultivated in a harsh environment and need constant care. Fan Helan works hard all the year round, but enjoys it. Orchids must be very attractive to him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enthusiasts. Orchid is his companion and confidant.
Orchids have been cultivated and appreciated since ancient times, especially in the Song Dynasty. I remember the very popular drama Know, in which the daughters were all called Ming Lan, Moran and Rulan ... The beauty of orchids was also people's wishes for their daughters at that time.
Zheng Banqiao, who is good at drawing orchids, is more open-minded about the cultivation of orchids. He knows the nature of orchids-he wrote, "orchids are grass in the mountains, planted in the mountains." It is better to be with the haze than to plant an angel in the world. "
He thinks orchids should grow naturally in the mountains, not by people and flowerpots. Just like his indifference, the orchids in his works are so beautiful and uninhibited, but they are full of noble gestures and gentleman's feelings everywhere. It is "eternal peace is this flower, not seeking Wen Da but seeking a haze".
Orchids are exposed to the cold wind and fragrant from old age.
Two orchids
Yi Shida [Song Dynasty]
In spring, orchid buds are particularly long and don't droop with red leaves.
After the plum blossom dies, you will know who will succeed and you will get fragrant flowers.
Orchid is a kind of cold flower, which gives off a delicate fragrance in the cold. Stand proudly like a plum blossom, not afraid of cold and hardship.
Its crystal-clear colors and unique patterns, like leaves cut by ink, always make people unforgettable, and the fragrance of long-distance nose-raising makes it unique among flowers.
Although it is not as gorgeous as the spring breeze, it is unique and exquisite.
Many people say that the orchids of Confucius, Qu Yuan, Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty are all different. In fact, orchids are more of a spiritual symbol than ornamental ones.
There are 28,000 species of orchids, twice as many as birds. There are also many common orchids, such as cymbidium, cymbidium, cymbidium, cymbidium, Oncidium, etc., as well as wild Dendrobium, Paphiopedilum and Vanilla.
Maybe we can't tell exactly what kind of orchids people talked about before, but we all understand and inherit the symbolic spirit of orchids, that persistence, that beauty and openness, and yearn for the wisdom and nobility of gentlemen and sages.
