In ancient times, when pear blossoms were in full bloom, people liked to gather in the shade of flowers, which was also called "washing makeup". This custom was very popular in the Tang Dynasty. According to Tang Yu's record, "When the pear blossoms in Luoyang bloom, people often bring wine, say' wash makeup for pear blossoms' and even buy trees." People like to use pear flowers as headdresses. At that time, Uncle Hou of Ruyang wrote a poem saying: "Drinking under the pear tree is full of pear blossoms. Sweet to Yushu, discuss pan-gold. ……"
Poets of all ages loved pear flowers and left many poems describing the spirit, spirit, rhyme and purpose of pear flowers.
Pear is pure white, white, flawless white, crystal clear as snow; Beauty without flattery, beauty without flattery, beauty without vulgarity and purity as jade first aroused the reverie of poets. Wang Rong in the Northern and Southern Dynasties wrote "Pear Blossom on the Pool": "Chun Xue shines, and the stars are reflected in the evening." There is a poem in the text: "Pear blossoms and snow are broken branches, and warblers and willows are like silk." Yuan Lei praised the pear flower: "Snow makes the skin jade, and will not marry Dongfeng." Zhang Jian described the pear flower as "budding, breaking the snow and wiping the ball", while Qiu Chuji praised the pear flower in "Poetry of Pear Flower in Xu Ling Palace" as "white brocade has no fragrance, and Yushu Qiongpa piles up snow". In "Bai Xuege Farewell Tian Shuji Wu Guijia", it is compared to pear blossoms from another angle: "The north wind rolls white grass, and eight In the snow crosses Tatar, like spring breeze, and at night it blows ten thousand pear blossoms." Using snow to describe flowers is similar to using flowers to describe snow.
But even better is "Blooming Snow". The ancients once compared snow to plum blossoms, saying that "Mei Xuxun's snow is three points white, and the snow loses the fragrance of plum blossoms". For example, compared with Xuemei, pear flower is neither inferior to snow nor fragrant. Li Yu, a writer in the Qing Dynasty, praised: "Snow is the snow in the sky, and pear blossoms are the snow on the ground; The snow is fragrant, and the pear flower is beautiful. " Reading ancient pear flower poems, I feel a faint scent floating from the paper, which is cool and pleasant-"the willow is golden and tender, and the pear flower is fragrant with snow" (Li Bai); "The cool beauty deceives the snow, and the fragrance suddenly enters the clothes" (Qiu Wei); "Powder light fragrance, not let peaches and plums. I often think of Qingming Road in Nanzheng, and I am drunk and snowy. " (land travel)
"Plum blossom is fragrant with snow, pear blossoms on the moon", and pear blossoms under the moon have a more lasting appeal. "Pear tree is like a brook and moon"-in the bright moonlight, accompanied by the gurgling stream, that pear tree is as lovely as an ethereal fairy; Pear blossoms enter the moon, and moonlight turns into water, which is an inexhaustible tenderness. "Pear blossoms in the courtyard dissolve the moon, and the catkin pond is breezy"-pear blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the moonlight is like water; What a beautiful scenery it is when catkins float lightly and the spring breeze by the pond is warm! "The quiet night is heavy, the floating light is hazy, and the cold soaks into the moon. In the sky of the earth, rotten silver clouds are shining. " (Qiu Chuji's "No Vulgarity, Xu Ling Palace Pear Flower Ci"); "Clouds are full of clothes and the moon is full of dust"-the night is hazy, the stars and the moon are in the sky, pear flowers dance lightly like the moon in the spring breeze, petals fall occasionally, as if the moonlight is flashing, and the moonlight and pear flowers are completely integrated. What a wonderful state this is! How can it not be fascinating, Tao ran jumped and was amazing!
The best thing is that pear blossoms have experienced rain. Pear blossoms in the rain are particularly charming. Bai Juyi's phrase "Tears fall on her sad white face, like spring rain on pear blossoms" describes how Yang Guifei cried when she heard the messenger of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty coming to fairy mountain. Vivid, deliberate, beautiful and moving, it can be described as the ultimate beauty of human nature. Later generations often compare the pear flower in the rain to the tears of beauty, such as the poem "Pear Flower" in Song Dynasty: "The courtyard is dark, the snow in bloom is fragrant, the rain is falling, and the tears wet your lady's makeup." Wen Zhiming's poem "Pear Blossom" contains "pink marks, white dew and tears in spring". Pear blossoms bring rain, bring sadness without hurting people, but write the ultimate beauty of the world, bit by bit, without wind blowing, which naturally makes people feel pity and infatuation. When paving the way for the environment and rendering the atmosphere, poets often set off pear blossoms with a bleak artistic conception and a sad mood. For example, Dai Shulun's poem "Spring Complaint" says that "the golden duck is fragrant, and the pear flower covers the heavy door with spring rain", and Li Zhongyuan, a poet in the Song Dynasty, has a poem "Remembering the grandson of the king": "The lush vegetation remembers the grandson of the king, and the willow building is high in the sky, and Du Yusheng can't bear to hear it. Near dusk, the rain hits pear blossoms and closes the door. " The author used the scene of rain hitting pear blossoms at dusk to set off the lonely mentality of a woman who deeply loves acacia. Zhou Bangyan "makes the night, pear blossoms and snows everywhere", and uses the concrete pear flower falls to symbolize "spring goes and spring comes". I hate the rush of spring, leaving only pear blossoms everywhere like snow, which is extremely resentful. Wang Yuanliang's Preface to Birds Strike Jinling: "Pear blossoms are exhausted, sunny flowers are exhausted, and spring scenery is also haggard." There is a word "Huanxisha" in Zhou Mi, which means "pear clouds are as cold as snow", and the language used to write the remnants of spring is cold and moving. Du Mushi: "Pear flowers with leaves send spring alone". Mei's "The Tree Wood Changed to Grass" and "The Pear Blossoms Fall" describe the spring scenery in nature and return in a hurry with the pear blossoms falling, suggesting that the spring in his official career is fading away.
Reciting the poems of pear blossoms by the ancients, I only feel that Xiang Sheng, who is soaked in pear blossoms all over, has unspeakable beauty in his insides and is very comfortable.
