Chinese plum
I like plums. There are few plum blossoms in the north. I usually enjoy plum blossoms from TV or pictures. A few years ago, I traveled to five cities in East China and saw real plum blossoms in Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Park. At that time, plum blossoms were in full bloom. Hongmei and Bai Mei compete with each other. Let's stop to watch and take pictures. Needless to say, we are very happy.
Plum blossom is a symbol of the spirit of our Chinese nation.
Plum blossom symbolizes the spiritual quality of perseverance, perseverance, courage to struggle and self-improvement. Facing the snow and smelling the cold, the noble quality and loyalty of Bing Xin are close to freehand brushwork of the spirit of our Descendants of the Dragon. It has a kind of self-sufficiency in loneliness and a kind of detachment of "cold ling driving alone". It disdains to compete with all the peaches and plums in spring, but it stands proudly when it is freezing and the trees can't help the cold wind. In the heavy snow, flowers are blooming, flowers and trees are sparse, Leng Xiang is faint, and the wind attacks people.
People love flowers not only because of their beautiful appearance, but also because of their personal implication and spiritual strength.
China ancient literati wrote the most poems about plum blossoms.
Su Dongpo's "Red Plum" believes in red plums every year, and the river is drooping. Take care of your feelings and send spring to the roots. "
Li Shangyin: "Yi Mei" "Set your eyes on the horizon and wish to show something to China. Hanmei is the most hateful and grew into a flower last year. "
Lu you: "plum blossom quatrains" "the valley is far away from the north, and the flowers bloom late every year. Gao Biao Yi Yunjun knows if there is ice and snow. " "Snow abuse wind, the more awe-inspiring, the highest integrity in flowers. When it is out of date, it will gradually drift away, and shame is even more pity for Dong Jun. " Su Shi: "Let Yang Meihua again" "Don't blame the frost in the morning, and the bald head will die out sooner or later. Collecting wind and exposing new flowers, such as the West Chamber waiting for the moon. " "Give Plum on the Ridge" "Plum blossoms are in full bloom and pedestrians can't come. Don't take advantage of the green plum to taste the boiled wine and watch the drizzle ripen the plum. "
Now we often quote an inspirational poem: "The edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold", which can better interpret the profound metaphor of plum blossoms.
orchid
I like orchids. Although I have seen orchids, most of them are not very expensive orchids. I appreciate orchids through various media or paintings.
Orchids are symbols of elegance and wisdom.
Orchids do not have the elegant appearance of peony, nor the tall and straight branches of roses. However, the weak cluster is an empty valley with orchids. The most fascinating place of orchids is "seclusion". Because they grow in deep mountains and valleys, they can wash away that beautiful and fragrant posture and maintain their natural beauty with a clear and plain fragrance. This kind of "recluse" is not only a hermit's temperament, but also a cultural universality, a gentleman's demeanor of "people don't know what to do", an open mind that does not seek career access, fame and fortune, but only ambition in the chest, symbolizing the quality of alienating dirty politics and preserving their beautiful personality. Orchids never flatter people, and they don't want to be transplanted to busy cities. Once they leave the quiet pure land, they will inevitably be defiled by dirt. Therefore, orchids are only suitable to bloom in secluded places and in the ideal realm of poets. It is precisely because of these characteristics of Lan that literati like to use things to describe and express their feelings.
Among Han Yu's You Cao Lan, Memories of Lan Zhi is full of fragrance. If you don't pick it, you will get hurt in Lanzhou. "
Zhang Jiuling's "Experience" "Cymbidium leaves are tender, and osmanthus blossoms in autumn. Life in the world is full of vitality, which naturally conforms to the beautiful season. Who wants to live in seclusion in the mountains and smell the fragrance, so full of joy. Won't it be more demanding to be transplanted than any other natural flower? . "
Du Mu's Lanxi "Lanxi is full of spring, and orchid flowers are reflected in the rain. When Dr. Chu is haggard, he should go to Xiaoxiang to find this way. "
Xu Wei's "Moran" "Green water should only overflow white apples, and rouge should only read lips. Since I painted Lan Xiang, I have not been idle with the laity. "
Zhu Lan Jian: "The light and wind float in Bixi, and the blue is dry and the sun is tired. No one answered at the age, and I only know. "
A kind of bamboo
Of all the flowers and trees, bamboo is my favorite. This kind of love cannot be described in words. I like the towering bamboo sea in the south, the tender bamboo and the ink bamboo in the painting ... all the bamboos like it. When I first joined the work, a small piece of bamboo forest was planted in the corner of the yard of the work unit, which was the lush season. Because we live in the north and there are few in Zhong Zhulin, I was ecstatic when I saw this small bamboo forest. I have to go there every day to observe carefully and I can't bear to leave. Listening to the rustling of bamboo leaves in the breeze and looking at the elegant figure of jathyapple, I was deeply moved. I not only love its beauty, but also appreciate its noble and upright character, and appreciate its youthful and overbearing character in the fierce wind and frost. Bamboo is a symbol of modesty and discipline, and this quality is also the foundation of being a man. People praise bamboo for its introversion, modesty, upward, long green, tenacity, cold resistance, elegance and simplicity, which endows bamboo with noble personality. So most of the houses of China literati are planted with bamboo. Su Dongpo said: "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, no bamboo makes people vulgar. Thin people can be fat, and vulgar people can't rule well. " Simple and straightforward language shows that the long-standing cultural spirit has penetrated into the bone marrow of literati.
So people write, praise, chant and draw bamboo.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, said: "The snow is low, although the mud is not low;" Once the sun rises, it is still in harmony with the sky. "This is the reputation of bamboo integrity. Zheng Banqiao's "Singing Bamboo": "I insist that the green hills are not relaxed, and the roots are broken; Bamboo is still strong after many trials and tribulations. This is the power of bamboo. Wei Yuan's "Shuang Ling bamboo arrows is proud of it and strives for spring with the world" is the confidence of bamboo;
Zheng Xie's "section after section, thousands of branches are kept in Chiba; I don't blossom, I don't tease bees and butterflies "is the sublimity of bamboo." "
Zheng Gu's Suitable for Smoke, Rain and Wind. Fu Shui Zang Cun Fu Song Jian moved to Xiao Sao Li Yuan Temple. Wash to avoid invading the front peak. The invading moss broke the spring buds. The winding path is secluded, and it is overcast in summer. The rogue apricot flower is full of feelings. Several branches are compatible with each other. "This is a lovely bamboo.
I hope I can be as tall and straight as bamboo, elegant and refined, modest and lofty. I would like to be a green bamboo forever.
chrysanthemum
If the four gentlemen of Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and bamboo are my favorites, chrysanthemum is my favorite. It is not only a symbol of noble character, but also an interesting story in it. Many years ago, I met a middle-aged woman by chance. She is a person who can cure many intractable diseases, and cured many diseases that can't be cured in the hospital. Many people say that she has fairies. When she met me, she said that I was not an ordinary woman, but a reincarnation of the "Juxian" in the sky, with a kind heart like a bodhisattva, kindness, gentleness and intelligence. I'm party member. Although I don't believe in "immortals" or past and future generations, it's true that I like chrysanthemums. Since then, I have a soft spot for chrysanthemums.
Chrysanthemum is a symbol of nobility, Leng Yan and chastity. Tao Yuanming's "Fang Jukai Lin Yao, Song Qingyan Guanju. With this beauty, it is outstanding for the cream. " It reflects his yearning for enviing a quiet and comfortable life. He picked chrysanthemums leisurely under the east fence, giving chrysanthemums a unique and extraordinary hermit style with the attitude of an idyllic poet and hermit, and chrysanthemums have the spirituality of hermits since then.
Cao Zhi, an outstanding representative of Jian 'an literature, has such a sentence in his famous poem "Ode to Luo Shen": "Its shape is also strange, such as Youlong, Rongyao Qiuju and Hua Mao Song Chun." Chrysanthemum is used to describe the brilliance and beauty of Luo Shen, whose skirt is fluttering and dancing, and to describe her demeanor and temperament. Therefore, poets generally appreciate his cold-blooded character, such as Bai Juyi's Ode to the Chrysanthemum: a new frost hits the tile overnight, and the banana is newly defeated. Only the East Hedgehog Chrysanthemum is cold-resistant, and the golden millet is just dawn.
Wang Shifu used it in The West Chamber: "The sky is blue, the ground is yellow, the west wind is tight, and the geese fly south in the north. Whoever gets drunk with Fang Lin in the morning will always leave tears. " It depicts the withered chrysanthemum on the ground as the foil and rendering of the protagonist's departure, and the chrysanthemum has become a representative landscape in the sad artistic conception.
The chrysanthemum described by Li Qingzhao, a poetess, has also become the object of emotional sustenance. "Mo Tao doesn't forget me, the curtain rolls west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers." He expressed his sorrow for missing his distant husband and his regret for himself. There were also "yellow flowers piled all over the ground, haggard and damaged, and now who can pick them." Lament personal fate, express the sadness of national destruction.
Chrysanthemum is described in detail in Four Great Classical Novels's Dream of Red Mansions. Lin Daiyu, who is aloof and sentimental, wrote "Ask Chrysanthemum". "Who is lonely and proud, but can't open it?" How lonely is the frost in the garden? Can geese miss each other when they get sick? " "Chrysanthemum Dream" and "Going to immortals" are not Zhuangzi's dreams, but also Tao's dreams. When I sleep, I will be broken with the goose. When I am surprised, I will be annoyed. " Poems, such as praise the noble quality of chrysanthemum, but also reflects her and chrysanthemum have spiritual and emotional exchanges and singing.
If we say that winter plum has an indomitable character against frost and snow; Chunlan empty valley is quiet, which is a feeling of alienation and filth. Then, Qiuju has both qualities. In late autumn, under the setting sun, by the hedge, clusters of flowers are proudly open, not afraid of frost and loneliness. All the flowers wither, but their fragrance shows valuable quality. Therefore, the quiet evacuation temperament is consistent with the spiritual peace that people get after experiencing depression and hesitation. Therefore, appreciating chrysanthemums has become a spiritual proof of a gentleman's complacency, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Finally, quote a few poems by unknown authors as the conclusion:
Plums are like jade, and silver dances. The proud red plum is extremely sharp, and one branch is steep to the boundless. Snow is fragrant.
The unique mountains and rivers in the countryside are green, which sends good spring scenery far away. The heaven and the earth are fragrant with flowers, and the rocks are full of wisdom. It takes a lot of thought to collect.
Where bamboo is overstretched, Zhuo Ying is slender. Ling Yunhong is somewhat ambitious, modest and frivolous. Poverty is stronger.
Chrysanthemum plate flowing water, Fang Rui makeup autumn. Although Huarong is beautiful, the market is still crowded with people. Chrysanthemum wine soaking and sealing
