"Feng Huangming yi, in Gorkon. The phoenix tree was born in the morning. It's growing and embarrassing. 》
This poem is about the lush growth of the phoenix tree, which attracted the crow of the phoenix. It is the luxuriant phoenix tree; Yong Yong Bo, it's the voice of Feng Ming.
In Zhuangzi's Autumn Water, I also talked about the phoenix tree. Talking about Zhuangzi's meeting Keiko, he said, "There are birds in the south, and their names are young. What do you know about them? Young husband, born in the South China Sea and flying in the North Sea, is both a phoenix tree, ... "
In this painting, the phoenix is also associated with the phoenix, and the "young" here is a kind of phoenix. He said that the phoenix flew from the South China Sea to the North Sea, and it landed on the North Sea when it met the buttonwood tree. It can be seen that the phoenix tree is noble.
In the thirty-seventh chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is such a description: "The phoenix flies thousands of miles away and does not live on the road; Master is on the side, not the Lord. "
Because the ancients often associated the phoenix with the phoenix, today people often say, "If you plant a plane tree, you will have your own phoenix." . Therefore, in the past, in a well-off family, phoenix trees were often planted in the yard, not only because of its imposing manner, but also because it was a symbol of good luck.
There is even a Hakka nursery rhyme: "The boy hits the tung tree, and the tung tree falls on the boy." Feng Zikai's Wu Tongshu
There are several buttonwood trees in front of the window of the apartment building. These are all things from the next yard, but they are all mine in form. Because they are at a proper distance from me, it seems that they are specially planted for me to see. Their owners may know their state better than I do; But what about their overall appearance? Because it must be seen from a considerable distance. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poem saying, "The mountains are far away, and the beginning is tolerant". I thought trees were the same. Since early summer, these phoenix trees have shown various appearances in front of me with heavy makeup and caressing gestures.
In late spring and early summer, I saw the sight of Xintong bovine colostrum. Those little yellow leaves clustered on the bare branches, like a tree lamp, like a clip-and-paste pattern of primary school students, arranged evenly and childlike. There are also various techniques for plants to grow leaves. Some metabolism, deceptive eyes secretly turn green and yellow. Some of them are so tiny that people don't realize that they have changed from bare branches to green leaves. Only the leaves of the buttonwood tree are the most clumsy, but the attitude is the most frank. Their branches are sparse and thick, and their leaves are flat and big. All the leaves are alive, and the whole tree is obviously deformed.
In summer, I saw the green leaves turn into shade again. Those round fans have big leaves. Grow layer by layer. At first glance, there is no gap, like a big green shovel, and like a castle peak in a pattern painting. Among my common garden plants, except bananas, leaves are as big as phoenix trees. Although banana leaves are large in shape and few in number, it takes several days for lilacs to unfold a leaf, and the leaves of the whole tree are few and far between. Although the aircraft blades are not as big as them, they are more numerous. This thing like a pig's ear hangs from the low branch to the top of the tree. There are several buttonwood trees in front of the window. I think there is too much green. The ancients said that "the banana is divided into green screens", and the field of vision is too low, just what you see under the front window. If you go upstairs and look out, bananas will fall under your eyes, and you should see the phoenix tree being divided into green screens.
A month later, I saw the fallen leaves of the plane again. What a sad expression! At first, green darkens and becomes dark green; Later it changed from dark green to brown; The north wind came together, and they made a fuss. The big yellow leaves began to quit. At first, one or two leaves suddenly fell off. Later, a large number of leaves flew down in droves, as if someone had dropped something from a tall building. The branches gradually became empty, revealing the house behind the tree. Finally, only a few branches were left, returning to the face of early spring. These days, they stood at my window empty-handed, like bachelors who had been married and had children, and their families were ruined. What a pity! I think of an ancient poem: "The trees are high in the mountains, and the wind blows away the leaves." . Wan Li road, why go back. "If we want to collect all their fallen leaves, let them turn green together, restore the old branches and restore the summer scene, even if we rely on the power of all the dominators in the world and try our best to make all the machinery in the world work, it is impossible, right? There are many things in the world that will turn yellow and green, but nothing can symbolize sadness more than fallen leaves, especially buttonwood leaves. Falling flowers have also been sad. But the life span of flowers is very short, just like a baby dies at birth. Although we pity him, we are not sad because we haven't spent much time with him and have few memories. The life span of leaves is much longer than that of flowers, especially the leaves of Indus, which have occupied more than half a year from birth to extinction, and are so lush and grand! In front of me, a few piles of green, thick, once went up in smoke! The symbol of impermanence is nothing more than this!
But their owners, I'm afraid, don't feel this sadness. Because although they planted it and bought it all, they have never seen the above scene. They just sit under the window and look at their roots, stand in front of the steps and look up at their branches and leaves, sweeping the leaves for them. How can you look at their faces? How does Bud feel its own symbol? Bud knows that nature can't possess. Obviously, art can't be possessed.
