"Ailian said" the original.
The flowers of land and water plants are very fragrant. Tao Jinyuan clearly loves chrysanthemums. Since Li Tang came, peonies have been loved all over the world. Love lotus alone, dirt-free, clear but not demon. Straight outside, not crawling, fragrant and clear. It is slim and elegant, so you can look at it from a distance without looking ridiculous.
Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Hey! The love between chrysanthemums and flowers is rarely heard after Tao. Who gave the lotus love? Peony love is suitable for many people.
Translation of Ailian's Theory
Among the herbaceous woody flowers on water and land, there are many that can be loved. Tao Yuanming only loves chrysanthemums in Jin Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, people all over the world like peony. I only like lotus, which grows from the soil, but is not polluted by the soil; After washing with clear water, it doesn't look attractive. Its stem is through in the middle, and its shape is straight, without branches and branches. The farther the fragrance spreads, the quieter it becomes. It stands straight and clean, and people can look at them from a distance, but they can't get close to play with it.
In my opinion, chrysanthemum is a hermit in flowers; Peony is a rich flower among flowers; Lotus is a gentleman among flowers. Alas! The exclamation point is used here as an auxiliary word to emphasize the tone. ) The love for chrysanthemums was rarely heard after Tao Yuanming. Who else likes lotus as much as I do? There should be many people who love peony.
The Creative Background of Ailian's Theory
In the fourth year of Song Xining (A.D. 107 1), Zhou Dunyi, a famous neo-Confucian, came to Xing Zi with Nankang Army. Zhou Dunyi is honest, indifferent, not in cahoots with the secular, and loves lotus all his life.
After Zhou Dunyi came to Xing Zi, he dug a pond on the east side of Junya and planted all the lotus flowers. When Zhou Dunyi came to Yukiko, he was old (55 years old) and ill, so every time after dinner, he was alone, or invited friends from three or five staff members to enjoy flowers and tea in Chi Pan, where the lotus was white and the sensory sea was chaotic, and he wrote a well-known essay "Love Lotus Falls". Although The Story of Ailian is short, it has been told by people all the time.
A year later, Zhou Dunyi resigned due to old age and infirmity, and settled in a church at the northwest foot of Lushan Mountain to give lectures. He left behind the lotus pond and the article "Love Lotus", which has always been cherished by future generations. In the sixth year of Xichun (AD 1 179), Zhu was transferred to Nankang Zhijun. With admiration for Zhou Dunyi, he rebuilt the lotus pond and established the Lotus Hall. He got the ink of Zhou Dunyi's "Ailian Shuo" from Zhi Qing Zhou, Zhou's great grandson, and asked someone to carve it on a stone and by the pool. Zhu wrote a poem: it is unusual to hear the roots move to a jade well and flowers bloom for ten miles; The bright moon is high and cold, and no one sees it, only for the husband to grow up. What are the main points of appreciating Ailian? Out of the mud and not stained, Qing Lian has no demon? This is the central topic of this article. The ancients generally used things to express their feelings. The same sentence has two meanings, one is metaphor and the other is expression. The same,? Out of the mud and not stained, Qing Lian has no demon? There is also a second expression. What does the metaphorical author have? Out of the mud and not stained, Qing Lian has no demon? Noble character. In fact, what he means is that officialdom is dark, so it is as difficult for you to maintain a noble character in officialdom as it is for a lotus to emerge from the mud without being defiled.
This is also a summary of his experience as an official, because he doesn't want to go along with it. And then what? Qing Lian has no demon? It's just a good wish of the author. Walking by the river often, how can you not wet your shoes? Therefore, it is commendable to be able to stand alone in a hundred flowers. This is also the author's sigh, because he can't be immune to the big environment, except to escape and stay away. Or, like him, guard one of his festivals conscientiously. Where did Zhou Dunyi's Ailian Theory come from? Flowers of land and water, lovely people are sweet? At the beginning, it was this exclamation.
Zhou Dunyi is the founder of China's Neo-Confucianism, and his Neo-Confucianism plays a connecting role in the history of China's philosophy. Zhou Dunyi loved reading since childhood and was quite famous in his hometown. People say he is? Ambitious, knowledgeable and pragmatic, with the wind of the ancients? . His knowledge and tolerance also moved many people to follow him, the most famous of which were two brothers, Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao, who later became famous Neo-Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty.
