Su Shi, a great poet in Song Dynasty, wrote many poems about Camellia. First, read "Shao Bofan Star Temple Camellia":
Who planted camellias? The drizzle came alone.
Say like Jun Jun won't, rotten red as fire in the snow.
Shaobo Town is located in the north of Jiangdu County, Jiangsu Province.
This poem was written in the seventh year of Yuanfeng (AD 1084). Yong saw camellia in the temple in the town.
"Camellia is relatively planted? No one came alone in the drizzle. As soon as the poet saw the camellia, he asked, "Who planted it? "I don't know, but it is true that he came in the rain, which shows the persistence of appreciating camellia." It seems to be different from Jun Jun. Some versions are called "I can't see you", which means that I feel something in my heart because I enjoy the camellia in the rain alone, and I want to tell it to people, but few people hear it, or I don't believe it. This is not very important. What is important is that what the poet wants to tell readers is the bright and dazzling image of "rotten red as fire as snow". The poet was deeply moved by it. Fire and snow are in sharp contrast, and this last sentence is the crowning touch.
Su Shi also has a poem "Camellia of Four Seasons in Zhao Chang":
Bees have swept away the vermicelli, and the pistil still smells of honey.
I have been waiting for several branches of the spring breeze, and there have been flying frost in recent years.
The first two sentences in the poem, "The bees sweep away the vermicelli yellow, and the pistil still receives the honey dew fragrance", are written about the rich aroma of camellia, which is frequented by bees. The last two sentences, "How many branches are there in the spring breeze, and frost flies in a few years", mean that camellia is in full bloom in the snow. In spring, there will be several people, and finally frost will kill it and make it wither. On the other hand, because frost kills rice, we can't leave more branches for spring. It is said that people who have suffered from relegation can no longer bear the moisture of spring breeze and rain, which can be used for reference.
Changzhi, the son of Zhao Chang in this Camellia poem, is an outstanding painter in the field of flower-and-bird painting in Song Dynasty. He is good at calligraphy, painting, painting flowers and fruits, making many broken branches, and being a grass bug. Boneless flowers and birds form a school of their own. In the cold collection of Zhao Changhua's four poems, Su Shi wrote:
Nanshan pine rustling, yellow leaves meteorite strong wind.
They pity their children and flowers, scattered in the ice and snow.
Can convey the cold posture of the old times, and only stood up in ancient times.
Zhao Zuomiao, rubber powder is empty after washing.
Adjust cinnabar in the palm and dye this crane top red.
Why praise pen and ink alone and admire Jiangnan workers alone?
Zhao Chang painted camellias. Su Shi called camellia "who pities her children's flowers and scatters in the ice and snow", which is in the same strain as "rotten red like fire in the snow", and further pointed out that "it can convey the cold posture of the old times and its charm, only the old ones".
Su Shi also wrote a poem written in the fourth year of Xining (A.D. 107 1). The second one reads:
Under the ever-burning lamp, the rocks are dry and rotten, and the pine and fir are often cold.
The leaves are thick and angular, the rhinoceros is healthy, and the flowers are deep and few.
I have been with the abbot for a long time, and I am ashamed of Mr. Alfalfa.
It's fun to bloom in the snow, but who will look after it next year?
The poet was deeply impressed by the blooming of camellia in the snow, and the first couplet of the poem also praised the faithful character of camellia, that is, "pine and fir will always keep the old cold." Zhuan Xu wrote that "the leaves are thick and angular, the rhinoceros is healthy, the flowers are deep and few, and the crane is red", and the camellia leaves are thick and angular, as hard as rhinoceros; The color is dark, as red as the red top of the red-crowned crane, which attracts attention.
The necklace's "long rain with the abbot" obviously refers to camellia, also known as Manluo flower (actually not a thing). It is said that there was a rain when the Buddha said it. "Shame on Mr. Alfalfa Board" and "Alfalfa Board" are allusions to describe a small official's poor and cold life. The kings of the Tang and Five Dynasties wrote in "Scholars in Middle Fujian": "Xue Lingzhi, ... moved to Zi. At that time, the official management of Kaiyuan East Palace was relatively light, and he ordered to mourn himself with poems, and recorded in the government:' Xu Chao went to the regiment to take care of Mr. Pan. What's on the plate? Alfalfa withered. It's hard to swallow a spoonful when the meal is astringent, but it's easy to widen a bowl of thick soup. You can only seek the sunshine in the morning, and then you can spend a year in the cold! " "
The couplet "Know when the flowers are in the snow, and who will look after them next year" wrote that camellia is very affectionate, and it blooms in the snow for the poet to enjoy. The poet lamented that things are unpredictable, and the flowers that bloom next year may not be seen.
Although these four poems about Camellia were written in different periods, the similarities are still very obvious. On the one hand, they praised their big red flowers in the snow, on the other hand, they praised their cold posture and firm character. The poet's career was bumpy and experienced hardships. Although his political views are not beyond reproach, so is his integrity and character, but his refusal to pitch at any time is admirable. He praised Camellia and loved Camellia. At first, he didn't mean to express his ambition by borrowing things.
Su Shi's younger brother Su Zhe also wrote Two Camellia, one of which wrote:
Yellow tiller and spring bud barley are thick and have nothing left to pick.
All along, I suspected Yanghe, flowers and snow.
The cliff is fragrant and light, and the scenery is beautiful.
After winter, seeds can still be planted, and an acre of wasteland can be used as a hoe to try.
Su Zhe (A.D.1039-112) was a writer and prime minister in Meishan, Meizhou. Su Zhe, his father Su Xun and his brother Su Shi are also called "Three Sus", which is one of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties". Influenced by his father and brother, his life knowledge is famous for his prose, and he is good at political theory and historical theory. Su Shi said that his prose is "Wang Yang's wandering, with songs and sighs, and outstanding spirit is indispensable". His poems try to catch up with Su Shi, with unpretentious style and poor literary talent. Su Zhe is also good at calligraphy, which is chic, neat and orderly. He is the author of Biography of Poetry, Biography of Spring and Autumn, Collection of Luancheng, etc.
This poem describes the growth of camellia. In the first two chapters, in spring, the old branches of camellia sinensis in the valley grow new buds, and when they grow to the size of barley grains, they are picked out again, leaving only some residual flowers. It's embarrassing. Necklace couplets are "rich and fragrant, the cliffs are light and the scenery is beautiful." The rich fragrance of camellia makes the chrysanthemum fragrance on the cliff look faint; Beautiful, like plum blossoms blooming on the ridge. Tai Lian said, "After winter, seeds can still be planted, and an acre of wasteland can be used as a hoe to try." After winter, you can also plant camellia seeds to turn an acre of wasteland into a green garden. It shows the vigorous vitality of camellia.
This poem depicts the growth of camellia throughout the year and praises its fragrance, floweriness and exuberant vitality.
Look at Camellia by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Wang;
Although the warbler is always moving late, the crane top looks good as Dan.
Rain leaves scale into small covers, and spring branches are gorgeous.
Wang (A.D.1112-171year), whose real name is Guiling and his name is Meixi. Born in Zuoyuan, the fourth capital of Yueqing, Wenzhou (now Yueqing City, Zhejiang Province). Politicians and poets in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the twenty-seventh year of Shaoxing (1 157), with ZTE as the right, Song Gaozong personally promoted him as the first scholar. Lang Xiao, a senior official of the official department, was established, tired of officials and remonstrated with the empire. He learned about Rao, Wei Xiao, Hu and Quanzhou through calendar calculation. After seven years on the main road (1 17 1), Wang died at the age of 60. Shao Xi spent three years (1 192) pursuing "loyalty". There are also Meixi collections and so on.
This four-line poem describes the camellia transplanted by the poet, which is flourishing and growing gratifying.
"The warbler is old, but it is too late", which means that the bird was transplanted when the oriole crowed. Although it is a little late, the poet also has his own unique views, because "the crane wears a red crown to look good", and the red-crowned crane does not turn red when it is young, but only when it grows up. The camellia here is in bud, which means that when it is in bud, it is the best time to appreciate it.
Then I turned to the description of camellia leaves: "The rain leaves scale into small covers, and the spring branches begin to bloom." When it rains in summer, the leaves of camellia gradually come out and grow into leaves. From February to March of the following year, but flowers can be planted. "The first group of flowers blooming in the branches of spring" is the first group of flowers.
This poem about camellia is not about how camellia looks, but about the specific situation that it was not open when it was transplanted and needs to be preserved next spring. With the beauty of the red-crowned crane as a foil, it is written that the camellia at this time is unique and pleasing to the eye. This kind of writing is also very chic.
The poet also wrote a poem about camellia, "Cousin Lu Ting, a two-way man, presented a piece of camellia and planted it in front of the cupboard in the tail building. Every time it is dark and fragrant, he opens the window for his eyes, the tea bowl is not holding, and his spirit is clear, so he becomes a poem. "
A pillow of spring sleep, until the sun sets, dreaming of small camellia.
Road flyover gave me a cold seed, not an ordinary daughter flower.
The title of this poem is very long, which explains the reason for writing this poem.
This poem describes his joy and emotion when he woke up from a dream and saw camellia. It is impossible to judge whether this camellia is a transplanted plant written in his last poem. But his love for camellia is beyond doubt.
The first two sentences, "A pillow sleeps in the spring until the sun sets, and the dream is happy for the little camellia", write that after my spring sleep, I take a nap at night and am very happy with the little camellia outside the window. In the last two sentences, "Taoist gave me a cold flower, not an ordinary daughter flower", the poet praised camellia as "a cold flower" and "not an ordinary daughter flower", and wrote the character that camellia is cold-resistant and not afraid of frost and snow, and those delicate daughter flowers are inevitably dwarfed.
These two poems about Camellia describe the poet's actions, one is transplanting rice and the other is sleeping in spring, both of which are related to Camellia. Taking notes by chanting flowers and reciting flowers is very characteristic of the Song Dynasty.
