At noon, a book friend, Maple Leaf, shared the appreciation of Li Bai's ode to the River as a tribute to Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is the founder of Romantic style, and the poet Li Bai is deeply influenced by it. Teacher Meng Man made a detailed analysis of this poem. Let me talk about the origin of Qu Yuan's theory of vanilla beauty.
The beauty of vanilla comes from Wang Yi's Preface to Lisao in the Han Dynasty: Lisao, which is based on poetry and cited. Therefore, birds and herbs are good for loyalty, and spiritual beauty is good for monarch and minister. As an idiom, it means loyalty and patriotism.
Li Bai wrote in "Yong Jiang": Qu Ping's ci poems hang the sun and the moon. In Li Bai's works, Qu Yuan is a great poet who wins glory with the sun and the moon. Why was Qu Yuan called a vanilla beauty in later poems? Later scholars talked about vanilla beauty, and they all thought of Qu Yuan.
Derived from Qu Yuan's masterpiece Lisao, he used the beauty of vanilla as a metaphor to describe his experience of being suspected and exiled by Chu Huaiwang. At the beginning, beauty is used as a metaphor: the sun and the moon are not hidden, and the spring and autumn are in its order; But the vegetation is scattered, and I am afraid that the beauty will come late. He compared his relationship with Chu Huaiwang to that between men and women, won the trust of Chu Huaiwang, and entrusted him with an important task when he was young. Later, because of jealousy, Qu Yuan and Chu Huaiwang were slandered, alienated and exiled in front of Chu Huaiwang. However, Qu Yuan was still worried about the future and destiny of the country, but he suffered from losing the trust and dependence of Chu Huaiwang. At the end of his life, beauty was sad.
There are many names of vanilla in Qu Yuan's poems. Vanilla is different from ordinary weeds because of its own fragrance, as elegant and unique as a peerless beauty in an empty valley, and also like Qu Yuan's character. There are eighteen kinds of herbs in Lisao alone: Gracilaria, Angelica dahurica, Qiu Lan, Mulan, Susong, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Jingui, Hui Hui, Liu Yi, Du Heng, Chrysanthemum, Ficus pumila, Hu Sheng, Lotus, Fusang, Eupatorium odoratum and Eupatorium odoratum. Qu Yuan is more fond of herbs, which is reflected in his Lisao:
1. Yu is not only nine flowers, but also a hundred-acre tree. Stay abroad, expose the car, Du Heng and local chronicles are mixed. On the day of exile, Qu Yuan also planted a large area of Chunlan and hundreds of acres of Qiu Hui himself, and also planted Paeonia lactiflora and Jieche respectively, interplanting Du Heng and Angelica dahurica.
2. Hu Qiang divorced Bi and thought she was admirable. Qu Yuan often picked Gracilaria and put it on his body to show his incorruptible character.
3. Drink Mulan dew in the morning, and the chrysanthemums will fall in England. Qu Yuan keeps healthy by eating toilet water and herbs, which shows that Qu Yuan is also very knowledgeable about herbs and flowers.
Vanilla beauty, such as Lan Junzi, is also like Qu Yuan.
Because of Qu Yuan's romantic feelings, rich and beautiful imagination and creativity, "vanilla beauty" combined with her own life experience, her natural talent and lofty personality and became a concept in poetry and literature. It endows vanilla beauty with lofty personality charm and ideal spiritual world symbol, which is used and carried forward by later scholars. This symbolism is often quoted in Tang poetry and Song poetry, such as Li Bai's Poem on the River.
At the end of the article is Li Bai's Poem on the River.
On Mulan's boat, pipes are blown at both ends of the boat. The ship was loaded with thousands of Hu's wine and beautiful geisha, and let them drift in the river.
The immortal in the Yellow Crane Tower is still waiting for the Yellow Crane to leave, but I have no heart to swim with Bai Ou on foot this time. Qu Yuan's poems are still with the sun and the moon. The king of Chu built a hill on the top of the hill, and now the hill is empty.
As soon as I was happy, I put pen to paper and shook the five mountains. After the poem was written, the sound of Xiao Ao, Xiao Ao, went straight into the sea. If fame and wealth can be used in the Han River, I am afraid that the northwest will be fought back by the northwest.
