What is the yellow flower in Li Qingzhao's People are Thinner than Yellow Flowers?

It's chrysanthemums, yellow chrysanthemums. In fact, people who have learned this word should not know what this yellow flower refers to. It is obvious from the full text that it refers to Huang Juhua. ? People are thinner than yellow flowers? This sentence actually comes from Li Qingzhao's "Drunken Flowers". The whole poem is as follows? The mist is thick and the clouds are thick, and the days are sad. Kapoor is among the birds in the incense burner. The festival is also a double ninth festival, and the jade pillow gauze kitchen is half cold at night. Dongli drinks until dusk, and faint chrysanthemum fragrance overflows his sleeves. Mo Tao doesn't forget me, the curtain rolls west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers. ?

As can be seen from the first half of the word, Li Qingzhao wrote this word on the Double Ninth Festival, when chrysanthemums were in full bloom. In ancient China, there was a custom of enjoying chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival. So, what else is there in the second half of the word? Dongli? Two words. Speaking of Dongli, the first thing that comes to mind is Tao Yuanming's? Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence? , and,? Dongli? In China's ancient poems and articles, generally speaking, what does it mean? Chrysanthemum picking? . So the yellow flower here is probably Huang Juhua.

Moreover, we can also get a glimpse from the creative background of this word. Because this word was written by Li Qingzhao when she was just married and her husband was away on a long trip. So in Li Qingzhao's ci, there are some charming children. In order to express her thoughts about her husband, Li Qingzhao chose to compare herself to a very thin chrysanthemum without peony and magnolia on the Double Ninth Festival, which should have been spent with her family.

Moreover, the character of chrysanthemum is extremely noble, which is also in line with Li Qingzhao's personal design. Therefore, Li Qingzhao will choose chrysanthemums to represent herself, and express her thoughts about her husband with the thinness of chrysanthemums, which becomes even thinner. Moreover, the whole word uses flowers to describe people, and people describe flowers, which makes the structure and connotation of the whole word quite charming. This is a very rare masterpiece.
