Chrysanthemum is a timely flower, and chrysanthemum is regarded as "timely grass" by the ancients; Because of its unique character, chrysanthemum has become a symbol of vitality. The independent chrysanthemum in cold and autumn has unusual cultural significance in the eyes of the ancients. In the eyes of Xiandao Fang Jia, it is a "life-prolonging guest" and an immortal grass. Therefore, enjoying chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine have become the main festivals of Chongyang.
Tao Yuanming, a famous figure in Wei and Jin Dynasties, said, "Under the hedge of picking chrysanthemums, you can see Nanshan leisurely." The indifference of chrysanthemums and the seclusion of celebrities in the mountains are vividly described. Chrysanthemum can be called a "gentleman" in the eyes of literati and has become a cultural symbol of personality. Here, chrysanthemum is not only a kind of flower, but also a symbol of transcendental character, which is also the result of the admiration of literati and celebrity hermits in past dynasties.
Extended data:
The ancient poems describing chrysanthemums are:
1, Mo Tao is not charming, the curtain rolls west, and people are thinner than yellow flowers.
From: Song Dynasty Li Qingzhao's "Drunken Flowers", mist, thick clouds, sorrow for a day forever.
It goes without saying that clear autumn doesn't hurt people. The west wind rolls a bead curtain, and the people in the curtain are thinner than the yellow flowers.
2. Longshan drinks for nine days, and Huanghua laughs at me.
From: Jiuri Longshan Drink by Li Bai in Tang Dynasty.
It's the Double Ninth Festival again. I came to Longshan to drink, and even the flowers in Huang Ju laughed at me as an exile.
"Yellow flower" is like a reference of chrysanthemum. There are several opinions about the source of tracking data. First, there were few varieties of ancient chrysanthemums, mainly yellow, so it was called "yellow flower" for short. There is also a saying that the ancients used Huang Ju as a positive color, so it is often called "yellow flower". Whether the above statement is well-documented or parrot-learned, I won't repeat it here, but the character and spirit of chrysanthemum have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
