?Peach blossom has always been a favorite object of chanting by literati. In poetry, there are countless poems about peach blossom.
But the most famous peach blossom poems are undoubtedly "The Book of Songs: Tao Yao" and "Ti Capital City Nanzhuang" by Cui Hu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
Although these two poems both talk about peach blossoms, one is full of joy and the other is regretful and lost.
"The Book of Songs·Taoyao" tells the story of a woman getting married. "The Book of Songs: Peach Blossoms" The peach blossoms shine brightly. When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family. The peach blossoms are actually peach blossoms. When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family. The peach is young, its leaves are pure. When the son returns home, it will be a good time for his family.
"Zhou Rites" says: "In mid-spring, men and women gather together."
Thousands of peach blossoms are in full bloom, with colors as bright and red as fire. The girl was about to get married and returned to her husband's house with great joy.
Thousands of peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the fruits are large and sweet. This girl wants to get married and give birth to a son soon and have a prosperous heir.
Thousands of peach blossoms are in full bloom, and lush green leaves are blowing in the wind. This girl is going to get married, and her husband's family will be happy and safe.
In the Zhou Dynasty, girls usually got married when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, so the poet used the peach blossoms to sing a hymn for the bride. .
When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, a woman gets married and is as happy as a peach blossom.
This poem is fresh, bright and catchy. Yao Jiheng, a scholar from the Qing Dynasty, commented on this poem: Peach blossoms are the most beautiful in color, so the ancients used peach blossoms as a metaphor for women, and it was the first time that peach blossoms were used to sing about beautiful women.
People often say that the first person to compare beauty with flowers is a genius, the second person to compare beauty with flowers is mediocre, and the third person to compare beauty with flowers is a fool.
This "Book of Songs·Taoyao" is undoubtedly a work of genius. Many peach blossom poems in later generations were deeply influenced by this poem, and Cui Hu's "Ti Capital City Nanzhuang" is no exception. "Inscribed on Nanzhuang of the Capital City" Last year, on this day, in this gate, the faces of the people and the peach blossoms reflected each other's red. The human face has gone nowhere, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.
This poem sets up two scenes: "Looking for spring and encountering beauty" and "Looking for beauty again". Although the scenes are the same, things are different and people are different. This poem is very popular, especially the two lines "Human faces don't know where to go, peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze" are the most widely circulated.
There is a touching story behind this poem.
Meng Qi's "Poetry of Benshi" records such a story: During the Tang Dynasty, Cui Hu, a young man from Boling, lived in Chang'an. One year during the Qingming Festival, Cui Hu went on a spring outing to the outskirts of Chang'an.
After playing, I feel thirsty. I saw a house and knocked on the door to ask for a drink of water. A woman opened the door and brought Cui Hu a bowl of water.
Cui Hu drank water and looked up at the woman. The woman leaned under the peach blossom tree and looked at Cui Hu quietly. The peach blossoms are printed on the woman's flowery face, which is heart-warming. Cui Hu returned sadly.
A year later, Cui Hu came to the old place again, but the door was closed, and the woman was never seen again. Only the peach blossoms in the courtyard were still blooming as before.
Although this poem has a certain plot, it interprets a universal life experience: encountering something beautiful by chance and inadvertently, and when you pursue it intentionally , but can never be regained. This may be one of the reasons why this poem maintains its enduring artistic vitality.
Nowadays, when people talk about peach blossom poems, they will instinctively think of these two poems. "The beauty of peach blossoms shines brightly", when a young woman gets married, she is full of joy and joy. Reading this poem, people smile.
"The peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze" but with melancholy and loss, it tells the story of things changing and people changing. "Things are different and people are different" will always exist in human emotions, and this poem has become a famous saying throughout the ages and has always existed in people's hearts.
