The autumn wind blows gently, sending fragrance, which can't be hidden any longer. This sweet floral fragrance is the fragrance of osmanthus, which is rich and elegant and makes people forget their worries. With this fragrance, looking for osmanthus trees is really to smell them first and then look at them.
Autumn is the season when osmanthus is in full bloom, and petite little yellow flowers are covered with branches. A breeze blew, and the flowers swayed gently, emitting a delicate fragrance, which was intoxicating when it was thick and light. Li Qingzhao, a poetess of graceful and restrained school in Song Dynasty, wrote a poem about objects, which was named "Fragrant Osmanthus fragrans" and said:
This is a lyric poem, which fully expresses the poet Li Qingzhao's praise and reverence for osmanthus. Osmanthus fragrans is unpretentious, but it smells fragrant. The osmanthus in the ci is also a portrayal of Li Qingzhao.
The general idea in the word is this: osmanthus is yellow and fragrant, and its shape is soft. It lives in a quiet and inconspicuous place, but it leaves fragrant flowers. It doesn't have to be as light green and deep red as a famous flower. It's a first-rate flower.
Compared with sweet-scented osmanthus, plum blossom is definitely jealous, and chrysanthemum should also be ashamed. In the garden with gorgeous guardrails, only osmanthus flowers bloom in the Mid-Autumn Festival. The great poet Qu Yuan is too heartless. He praised many flowers in Li Sao. Why didn't he mention osmanthus?
The beginning of the word is "dull, the corpus luteum is soft, and there is only fragrance in the distance." Vividly wrote the charm of osmanthus is different. Its color is "dim yellow", not delicate and charming. Compared with many famous flowers, Osmanthus fragrans has no gorgeous appearance, and it never pleases people with its appearance.
In society, the reputation of osmanthus fragrans is generally "distant", and it has not been favored too much, and no one has given it too much pursuit. However, it is gentle and fragrant, just like a quiet girl, with moving charm.
It is indifferent and secluded in the mountains, bringing rich fragrance to people. This is like a reclusive gentleman who wins people's admiration with noble sentiments.
"Why light blue and deep red? It is a first-class flower. " Among all the flowers, "light blue and deep red" is always beautiful. Those precious flowers are colorful, but osmanthus doesn't have these external beauty, but it has fragrant inner beauty. The poet used the word "why" here to distinguish Osmanthus fragrans from various famous flowers, highlighting that Osmanthus fragrans is the first among flowers with light color, strong fragrance, distant feelings and high quality.
"Ding Mei is jealous, chrysanthemum should be ashamed, and the painting column will be crowned in the Mid-Autumn Festival." Plum blossoms are gorgeous and have the innate beauty of wind and frost; Chrysanthemum is recognized by the world as "the flower of a gentleman" and has the beauty of both internal and external cultivation. Compared with osmanthus fragrans, these two famous flowers are not as good as sighing, and they are both jealous and ashamed. After such a comparison, the poet decided that osmanthus fragrans was the crown of autumn flowers.
At the end of the word, "the poet can be ruthless. He has received nothing in the past." The "poet" here refers to Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan's character and virtue are sages admired by the world. In Lisao, Qu Yuan once praised many famous flowers and herbs as a metaphor for a gentleman's virtue of self-cultivation, but he never mentioned osmanthus. Li Qingzhao's accusation against the sage's "heartless thought" highlights the poet's reverence for osmanthus.
Sweet-scented osmanthus, rich and distant, refreshing, making people forget their troubles and worries. Osmanthus fragrans is not as beautiful as peony, but its appearance is simple. It blooms in obscurity and infects people in its unique way. Although the flowering period is short, the lingering fragrance remains in people's memory.
Autumn, let's feel the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance in autumn!
