Extended information
Osmanthus has luxuriant branches and leaves all year round, and orchids are even more fragrant but not exposed, beautiful but not delicate, elegant and noble, and rich in fragrance. They are favored by people for their unique floral fragrance and are deeply loved by celebrities and scholars of all ages. The ancients rated osmanthus as " "Thick, clear, long, and far" are all present, clear can wash away dust, and thick can penetrate far, so it is recommended as the top grade, thus leaving a large number of excellent works of Gui Gui in history.
Especially their subtle observations and unique insights into things, giving people a beautiful and noble enjoyment of poetry and painting. For example, Li He's "Couple of Osmanthus Blossoms Falling in the Autumn Moon", Yu Chou's "The Fragrance of Osmanthus Flows in the Moon", Li Qiao's "The Branches Grow the Infinite Moonlight", Song Zhiwen's "The Osmanthus Falls Fall in the Moon", and Bai Juyi's "The Moon on the Mountain Temple" "Looking for osmanthus seeds in the middle",
Li Shangyin's "The West Lake was full of cold dew last night, and the sweet-scented osmanthus blew away the fragrance in the moon", Yang Wanli's "It is not grown in the world, it came from the moon", etc. The poet combined the moon and osmanthus. The shape, expression, demeanor and emotions are vividly depicted. Silently chanting such verses makes you feel like you are immersed in the scene, forgetting the noisy world outside. Among the many fragrant flowers, the fragrance of osmanthus is loved by people. Because the fragrance of ordinary fragrant flowers is either clear or strong, the fragrance of osmanthus is both clear and strong, rich and extraordinary.
The fragrance also has a hint of sweetness, which makes people never tire of smelling it. Among the poems about osmanthus in the past dynasties, the poem by Hong Shi of the Song Dynasty has the highest evaluation of osmanthus: "Whoever determines the king of flowers and the equal difference, the clear fragrance and the golden rhinoceros... I only smell the fragrance for miles, and know that the fragrance is famous in thousands of hometowns." ”
Orchid is a flower famous for its fragrance, which is characterized by purity and elegance. Celebrities in ancient and modern times valued it very highly, and it was called a gentleman among flowers. Ancient literati often described the beauty of poetry as "Lan Zhang", the true friendship as "Lan Jiao", and the good friends as "Lan Ke". Confucius liked orchids very much. Because he paid special attention to the cultivation of personal thought and quality, he placed deep feelings on orchids. In the book "Confucius' Family Sayings" collected and compiled by Wang Su, a man of the Wei Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, It records a good story about Confucius praising orchid. Confucius said: "After my death, business will increase day by day, and gifts will also decrease day by day." Zengzi said: "What is it?" ’ Confucius said: ‘In business it is good to deal with those who are virtuous to oneself, and in giving gifts to those who are not as good as oneself. If you don’t know your son, you will regard him as his father; it comes to the conclusion that “a gentleman must be careful about where he is”. Since then, "Zhilan's Room" has become synonymous with a good environment and an idiom praising Lan Meilan.
Qu Yuan placed infinite hopes on orchids: "I have nine beds of orchids to nourish, and hundreds of acres of trees and flowers... The branches and leaves are so majestic and luxuriant, I hope I can mow them as soon as possible." He regarded orchids as friends and bosom friends: "When the weather is warm, he will stop, and he will stand still with orchids." He used orchids as a pendant to express his sentiment of purity and self-purity: "Hu Jiangli and Xizhi are standing there, Ren Qiulan admires it." He is also worried that the orchid will wither in the cold autumn dew and become unpopular.
It will become rebellious and not fragrant: "The times are colorful and change, so how can the orchids stay in the water? "The above are just a few examples of orchids mentioned in "Li Sao". It can be seen how much Qu Yuan loved orchids, expressed his feelings for orchids, and cared about orchids. Orchid is not a simple thing here. It is not a metaphor or something that stirs up something, but a symbol, a kind of sustenance, and a pursuit of spirit and character.
