An ancient poem praising the blooming peony.

Qin Zhongyin's tenth "Buy Flowers"

Bai Juyi

The imperial city withered in spring, and it was noisy.

* * * If you say peony, you will buy flowers with you.

The price is uncertain, and the number of flowers is rewarded directly.

Burn a hundred red flowers and press five bundles of vegetarian food.

Hang a curtain on it and weave a fence next to it.

Sprinkle water and seal it with mud, and the color will not change.

There is an Weng who comes to buy flowers occasionally.

Bow your head and sigh alone. This sigh is nobody's business.

A bunch of dark flowers, ten people bless!

peony

Li shangyin

At the beginning of the cotton-padded jacket, embroidery was piled up over the king of Hubei.

He put down his hand to carve Yu Pei and bent down to dance the Yujin skirt.

Have you ever cut out fashionable candles and smoked incense burners?

I am a colored pen in my dream, and I want to send a book to the cloud.

We chanted peony and left a series of vivid images. The image of the working people, represented by Weng in Bai Juyi's Flowers, became a typical image group among the poets in the Tang Dynasty and remained indelibly in our memory. The images of flower-worshippers in flower-chanting and lyric works are different because the objects of flower-chanting are peony flowers. "Look, all the flowers are no better than some flowers. Cut them and dip them in cinnabar." (Xu Yin's One of Two Peony Poems) Only by looking at the flowers, can we feel the vividness and uniqueness of this image. "I would rather carry a pot into a drunken hometown" (Duan Ying's "Niu Jingshi's Home Watching Peony") This is a flower-viewing person with a bold personality; There is no need for complicated strings and songs, and there is more emotion in silence. "(Wu Rong's Red and White Peony) This is an introverted anthomaniac. Some people describe the flower watcher from different angles. "When it's sunny, it's better to watch flowers hand in hand in the rain." (Dou Liangbin, "Looking at Peony in the Rain") This is to enjoy flowers in the rain; "High and low shades of a column of red, fire around the dew. "(See Peony at Night) This is a night to enjoy flowers, so that" I just want to put a pillow by the bar and talk about homesickness at night. " (Xue Neng's "Three Peony Poems"), its image is vividly on the paper. The more fully described the author's fascination with the flower watcher, the more prominent this image is in the poem. There is also a description of the psychological changes of flower lovers, which will make the characters' images and expressions vivid. There is a poem by Wang Jian: Peony in Rental House;

On the premise of leasing, I think that peony is full of flowers, which is the realization of fairies!

Purple flowers are plump, even and delicate, and bright red flowers return the beautiful face shamefully.

I hope the wind will stop, but I'm worried about the scorching sun.

Unfortunately, the flowering period has passed, the petals have withered, and incense and flame are about to burn.

The whole poem describes in detail a series of psychological changes of flower watchers: "It is a demon to be afraid of opening when you are new here". Maybe it's the first time to see peony in full bloom in a rented house! It caused a feeling of surprise and fear, and even worried that this was a rare thing. "The powder is purple and greasy, and the meat color is red and tender." The beautiful peony finally intoxicated him and immersed him in joy, so he deeply hoped that the spring breeze would keep it and the scorching sun would not scorch it. However, the flowers bloom and fall, and the flowers have gone and fallen. I pity and urge him to collect the residual flowers as incense, and I am reluctant to part with them. A series of psychological descriptions are very delicate, and the characters are lifelike, which has a strong artistic appeal. The images of flower lovers in lyric poems are mostly the reappearance of the poet's self-image, so we can feel the pulse of the poet's thoughts and feelings from these poems and see the ability of Tang people to capture the images in peony poems.

There are many artistic features in the works of chanting peony in Tang Dynasty. The charm of peony flowers endows the poet with rich imagination, such as describing Bai Mudan and Purple Peony as "white jade is not moist, purple ganoderma lucidum is unlucky"; (Sun Fu's Peony Bieti) Describe the fragrance of peony "Ruikanling, Xuxiangbai"; (Xu Yin's "He Fu Shoots Twenty-four Peony Eight Rhymes") describes the late stage and falling of peony flowers, "When the flowers bloom, they will be eclipsed, and when the flowers fall, they will be sad"; (Don Peony) Virtual wings travel thousands of miles, Wan Li, heaven and earth. In order to describe peony, the poet used bold and exaggerated techniques:

The dragon in the rainy night is very charming, and the husband and spring breeze are very fragrant.

-Xu Yin's "Yi Yun and Shangshu Give Peony Flowers Again"

It is futile to be jealous of peony, but you are ashamed to kill roses.

-Xu Ning's "Peony in Kaiyuan Temple"

These exaggerated descriptions set off the appearance of peony.

Strangely, Lin Xia is laying bricks or stones, but some people suspect that candles are coming out. Walking around is amazing, sitting around is amazing.

-Yao He "Calling Peony with Wang Dong"

Jade account stays in the sky, and Yao and Taiwan stay in the sky.

-Miracle wrote "Peony in Nanping Back Garden".

These are exaggerated descriptions of Shang Huashi. At the same time, when chanting peony, the poem also used various ingenious personification techniques from the beginning.

I want to laugh, but there is a song.

-The second article of Two Peony Poems

Jin Rui Xia Ying duo Caixiang, the first suspected girl to walk out of the blue room.

-Zhou Yao's "Looking at Peony"

These are anthropomorphic statements that describe peony as a beautiful woman. There is also a clever anthropomorphic technique, which is associated with the characters in historical legends and depicts the beauty of peony.

Chop Chu female facing the clouds, jathyapple, Zangetsu.

-Xu Yin's "Chasing White Scheerers and Singing Bai Mudan"

The cut is easterly, as light as the makeup of the calligraphy.

-Yin Wengui, "Assistant Minister Zhao looks at the red and white peony and praises it. "

Song Yu's cheeks are tender, and Wen Jun cotton is cut first.

-Xu Yin's "Recalling Peony"

It was even more blinded by smoke, and the beauty of the south China was sobbing.

-Tang "Peony"

These personification techniques are linked with the characters in historical legends, creating a beautiful realm and inspiring readers' rich imagination.

When poets use various artistic techniques to describe peony, they don't just use a certain artistic technique, but synthesize various artistic techniques to describe the beauty of peony in many ways and in many ways, thus conveying the poet's thoughts and feelings. In order to illustrate the application of various artistic techniques in chanting peony, we made a general classification. In fact, rich imagination should be realized through bold exaggeration and clever personification, and bold exaggeration includes clever personification, and clever personification also includes bold exaggeration, which are almost inseparable. Bai Juyi's Peony Square is a good example. Its poem says:

Peony Square, Peony Square, Golden Flower Ruby Room.

A thousand pieces of red Xia Yingming and a hundred crimson lights are bright.

According to the ground, the splendid satin blooms, and the wind doesn't knot the blue musk sac.

Fairy trees are white and colorless, and the peach blossoms of the Queen Mother are small and not fragrant.

Dewdrops are purple, and the morning glow is red.

There are shades of red and purple, and the back is always very low

Ying Ye is sentimental and ashamed, and lying in the flowers is hard to make up.

Doubt covers your mouth, resentment and low charming smile, such as heartbroken.

Rich and expensive multimedia messages are brilliant and colorful, and they are unparalleled.

Dianthus money is fine, and hibiscus peony is bitter. ...

In Bai Juyi's works, rich imagination, bold exaggeration, clever personification and so on. All kinds of artistic techniques are combined in one furnace, which makes this poem like a Chinese painting, freehand brushwork, showing the charm of peony flowers and giving people an immersive feeling.

The language of peony poems in Tang Dynasty is mainly simple and fluent, like Bai Juyi's poem "Deep meaning and shallow words, bitter thoughts and sweet words." (Yuan Mei) His poem "Buy Flowers" is aimed at "I want to see Yu Yi (Bai Juyi) and I am approachable." The language of other poets' peony poems also shows this feature. For example, Ling Huchu has a poem "Go to Du Dong to bid farewell to peony"

I haven't seen yard flowers for ten years, and the purple calyx has left home.

Get on the horse and go out and look back. When will we arrive in Beijing?

The language is simple and clear, such as words, love in flowers, and the meaning of parting overflows the poem. Liu Yuxi also wrote a poem "Farewell Peony Flowers to Linghu Chu"

A column of flowers in Pingzhang House was not at home when it arrived.

Modaoxi is not far away, and spring comes to the horizon.

It is also shallow and smooth, and farewell contains profound meaning. Reading the two poems together is as homely as usual, but it also contains deep feelings. Use line drawing to create a beautiful realm with deep feelings and vivid words. It is precisely because of the smooth surface of this language that poets use line drawing more often, and with a few strokes, they draw a vivid picture, which contains endless meanings outside the poem. Xu Ning has a poem "Peony":

Whoever doesn't love peony flowers is the best thing in the city.

English is the goddess of Luochuan, who tries her best to break the morning glow.
