The Book of Songs was written at least 3,000 years ago. Confucius once said: "If you don't learn poetry, you won't be able to express it." The "poetry" here refers to the "Book of Songs", which shows the importance of China's first comprehensive collection of poetry and literature to ancient scholars. So as a modern person, why do we also read the ancient Chinese Book of Songs? The reason why people value this collection of literature with a long history is not only to appreciate the literary and artistic creations of ancient people, but more importantly, to obtain the wisdom of ancient people from it. What's more, many classics of the past dynasties drew their essence from the "Book of Songs" and created many popular allusions and idioms, such as "reciprocating love", "Gantang's legacy", etc. Therefore, if you want to understand the classics, you must understand the Book of Songs.
"The Book of Songs" contains 135 species of plants. To understand the meaning of the poem, you must know more about the names of plants and trees. Such as "Jianjia is green, white dew is frost, the so-called beauty is on the side of the water", "Pick the lettuce, pick it with thin words" and so on. "Jianjia" is actually reed, and "芣苡" is plantain. They are common plants in modern times. However, due to the changes of the times, the names used have also changed, making it impossible for people to know what the plant names in the poem refer to. , which will inevitably lead to some blind spots when understanding the artistic conception of the poem.
The plant species described in the Book of Songs are extremely rich. For example, 20 kinds of plants appear in "Bin Feng July". "Mulberry" is the most frequently cited plant among them. Here, we have included hundreds of plants and divided them into five categories according to the order of the plants in the Book of Songs: clothing, food, medicinal, weeds, and flowers. It also marks the difficult-to-pronounce sounds and lists all the chapter names in the Book of Songs that use the theme plant. Simple and concise text describing the characteristics of the subject plant. After understanding the different imagery of these plants, readers can more truly understand the ancient people's wisdom in combining life, nature and art.
One of the studies on plant imagery in "The Book of Songs"
1. Nymphoides
The variety of Nymphoides is popular from left to right
"National Style" .Zhou Nan. Guan Ju》
Scattered waterlilies flow left and right. A graceful lady, I long for her. ——"Zhou Nan. Guan Ju"
The two words "Zhan Cha" and "夤梦" have profound meanings and a sense of mystery. In fact, it contains the meaning of harmony. What is not mentioned is that you must understand yourself, be aware of all things, and then follow the natural situation.
The best poetry is harmonious and concise vernacular, and the same is true for love words. ??
Nymphoma is an indicator of the water environment. Where the waterweed lives, it is surrounded by clear water. In a dirty place, the waterweed leaves no trace. The word "noble and clean" may not necessarily be high, but clean is worthy of the name. There is a sentence in "Yan Family Instructions": "Today's water plants are born from water, and yellow flowers are like water shields." This sentence also instructs the tribesmen to have a clear mind when walking in the world.
I don’t know if waterlilies can be eaten. In the eyes of the ancients, they looked like fair ladies, so I guess they can be eaten!
2. Kudzu vine
The kudzu vine is planted in the middle valley, and the leaves are luxuriant. The yellow birds are flying and gathering in the bushes. They are singing and singing.
Ge Zhiqinxi is applied to Zhonggu, and the leaves are moist. It's a pruning method, it's a piece of cloth, it's a piece of cloth, it's a piece of silk. -- "Zhou Nan·Ge Tan"
Kudzu (also called ramie) is a leguminous vine that can be found on the slopes of mountains and forests, in uninhabited areas in city parks, and on the soles of the roadside. Here, under the setting sun in the grassland and pasture, between the gaps between the windy sand and stones, there is the place where kudzu vines grow. The temperament of kudzu is neither gentle nor strong. It has an invisible and explosive inner vitality. It is like an uncertain bad boy in nature. It must be controlled well and let the kudzu roots make good soup and kudzu powder. Mix it with fried eggs to create a fragrant aroma, and drink kudzu flowers that can relieve hangovers on the wine table. When left unchecked, in the 1970s, kudzu took over tens of thousands of hectares of land in Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and other states of the United States, squeezing out all the local plants, silently and without any natural predators. Kudzu, like a wild horse, needs to be restrained by people's rational reins.
3. Curly ears (also known as cockleburs)
If you pick curly ears, the basket will not be full. Alas, I am pregnant with someone, leaving him to travel around. ---"Zhou Nan·Juan Er"
Missing is the eternal light. It shines out from the heart and falls on the cocklebur in front of you. As for the person who misses her, she becomes soft at that moment. , as far as cocklebur is concerned, it materializes into a soul and enters the ocean of people's thoughts. It is no longer just a cocklebur in the mortal world. Nature and man, at this moment, simultaneously have dual meanings, love and sustenance, materiality and fantasy. From the aesthetic meaning of poetry, reading this poem allows us to see how a woman like water, induced by the light and shadow of love, transforms a lively situation in life into a wisp of tenderness. The smoke fell mistly on an ordinary and natural object - cocklebur.
And cocklebur, in the quiet time, is no longer a simple natural image in space. It is opened by a mysterious force that connects time to people's hearts, allowing a pair of obsessed eyes to cross geographical barriers and see the dreamy mirror. , I think about that person day and night, how he walks on the difficult ancient road.
As time passes, we are now living in an era where the image of women as water is rarely seen as a gorgeous flower that can bloom in life. Women mostly want to turn water into ice again. Strong and sharp, it appears on the world stage. But when reading such poems, the woman who floats in my heart is still a thousand times more charming and courageous than I love. This is the fusion of confrontational forces between China's history and culture and the new era of Western social development characteristics. The short thorns on the cocklebur seeds do not reflect the personality characteristics of independent individuals, but a universal connection that the harmonious relationship between men and women should embody. A mutual relationship is not in the form of external benefits, but in the inner psychology. There is a gentle excitement of care and longing in it.
As for the long-lasting form of true love, what is hidden deep in this watery tenderness is not a diffuse world, but a deeper force that combines with the thousands of twists and turns that we have to endure in daily life. middle. However, in our world, the pace is too fast under our feet and in our hearts. Whether it is men or women, few people venture into soothing efforts and wrestling. I don’t know if this is because people are wiser, or they are more fragile and stupid. Some.
Thinking about it, on the grassy mountain roadside, I saw a sad and charming woman standing next to a cocklebur. The cocklebur is a bow, and thoughts are arrows. They are not pointing at a moment. , but the mysterious eternity of love that is always loved by time. If a master can paint a picture of a country, he can name it "Thoughts of Xanthium" to express the relationship between man and nature that Chinese culture has accumulated in a woman, a love, and a pearl of Xanthium over thousands of years. They seem to be separated, but in fact they have a mysterious relationship that is closely connected.
4. Peach
The peach is young and its flowers are burning. When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family. ---"Zhou Nan·Taoyao"
Peach enters the home from the wild and lives in warmth and harmony with people of any era. In a sense, it is like a spiritual tree in the peach orchard in the sky. The peach tree broke the commandments of heaven and was punished and fell into the human world. It is silently on the altar table in the fragrant imperial hall, in the hands of the mountain people with slender faces and rough sand like cracked rock, and in the tragic and caring words of the literati and poets, it has always accompanied and witnessed the eternity of the enemies of man and time. history of disputes.
Peach is an ordinary magical thing that is classified as a holy item but can also come into the hands of anyone. Peach wood is also an immortal weapon in myths and legends, which can guide some mysterious energy and predict people's health. You can see the shadows of some extraordinary natural gods showing huge mana. The peach in "The Book of Songs" is beautiful and dignified, and it is a guide for men to have a wife and women to have a home. It can be seen from it how two healthy and prosperous lives happily begin to embark on the steps of a new world. In the long-term peaceful family atmosphere, the fragrance of peach, tolerance, and the nourishment of accumulated honeydew over time, this may be another wish of the ancients who used peach as a poem to wish long-lasting happiness to the family, I think.
The ancient Chinese said: "The crystal of grass is in the flower, the peach blossom is in spring, the chrysanthemum is in autumn, the lotus is in summer, and the plum blossom is in winter. The flowers of the four seasons have different smells and colors, and they match the beauty of flowers. The same goes for people. Pan Yue is like a peach, Tao Yuanliang is like a chrysanthemum, Zhou Yuan is like a lotus, Lin Hejing is like a plum..." It can be seen that the peach is also a four-season flower that entrusts our mind. From the flower, we can read the fullness of our invisible mind. The breath of life understands that human beings, besides direct material desires, also have peace of mind and relaxation of interest. After a long period of washing, we can still remember the endless taste of "Peach Blossom" and "April Fragrance".
5. Fengyi (also known as Plantago seed)
Pick up Fengyi, and pick it with thin words. It's all about picking and choosing, but there are few words.
Cai Cai Yi Yi, talk about it lightly. Picking up the bad things, and stroking them with thin words.
Cai Cai Feng Yi, thin words to cover it. Pick and choose Yiyi, and give it a few words. ---"Zhou Nan·Fuyi"
Volume 1 of "Original Book of Songs" written by Fang Yurun of the Qing Dynasty says: "Readers try to calm down and recite this poem, suddenly hearing the women of the Tian family, three, three, five, five, embroidering in the plains In the fields, the wind is beautiful, and the sun is shining, people are singing in reply to each other, and the lingering sounds are lingering, sometimes distant or close, sometimes broken or continued, and I don't know how the emotion is moved and the spirit is broad, so this poem does not need to be interpreted in detail to understand its beauty. "Yan." This is a state of mind when reading this poem. This short poem not only has the natural transition of rhyme and rhythm, but also uses several verbs to describe the delicate, diligent and cheerful dynamic picture of the pastoral woman.
In the pictures handed down to us from the ancient farming era, the Plantago plant grows everywhere on the ditches and canals in the mountains and fields. It is a cheerful and comfortable song beating on its small light green leaves. note. Regardless of whether "Zhounan·Fengyi" is a farming song composed by peasant girls while working, or a song praying for children sung by married women in the fields, there is a duet between man and nature in it, and a kind of light and rough closeness between people and nature. The harmonious phonology and the fresh feeling of washing oneself out of the clutter of life flow in such a pure poem.
Walking in the quiet and green nature makes people feel clear and relaxed involuntarily. This is not the patent of people of any era, but should be hidden in people’s genes through their own evolution and changes. The natural source of time.
Being close to nature and nourishing it should be regarded as the relationship between man and nature in the agricultural era. Today, the vitality shown by modernization has obscured and made it difficult to distinguish the faces of man and nature. There is neither much joy controlled by human self-confidence nor the cold aura that makes the clear nature become ferocious. It is simply the result of the process of showing one's own desires as an animal like human beings. In the turbulent rhythm of the evolution of life, there is always a factor of balance, which breeds historical scenes that are either harmonious or chaotic. When we trace back history, we can always clearly see it. How to balance it? The ancients sang joyful songs while picking plantain seeds in the fields, but what about today's people? After losing that light heritage, have we gained the splendor we thought we had?
6. thorns
There are trees in the south, so you cannot rest. There are wandering girls in the Han Dynasty, so don’t ask for them. The Han Dynasty is so vast that it is impossible to think about it. The river will last forever and cannot be imagined. ?
The salary is wrong, and Chu is cut off. When his son returned home, he told him to build his horse. The Han Dynasty is so vast that it is impossible to think about it. The river will last forever and cannot be imagined.
The wrong salary is raised, and the grass is cut off. The son returned home. Talking about the horse's strength. The Han Dynasty is so vast that it is impossible to think about it. The river will last forever and cannot be imagined.
---"Zhou Nan·Han Guang"
The "Chu" in "Chu" is what we often see in the mountain wastelands. Tangled with thorns and covered with thorns. Thorns in love are like authenticators. On the way to our desire to fully possess each other, they form some seemingly insurmountable barriers. In fact, it takes wisdom and hard work to break through the barriers so that the depth and lastingness of love can be revealed. The mutual cherishment in the heart lasts longer. This thorn will not only appear at our hands and feet, but will also appear in our hearts from time to time.
There are thousands of mountains and rivers between you and the one you love, love and admire, and the road to search is paved with thorns. What should you do? Step through this thorn forest, swim across the surging river in front of you, and go to the other side where her shadow is swimming and her voice is floating. Just like how true love meets in the world, the prelude to the beginning of ancient love stories and today's love stories are all so similar. It can be seen that the word love has a harp in it. The moving part is not in the result, but in the trance of love. , wandering, longing, pain, happiness, joy and when looking at each other, I can see the eternal and desperate light of the self.
7. Fan (white wormwood)
White wormwood. Growing in Pize, the leaves are like young mugwort, the stems are either red or white, and the rhizomes are edible
8. Bracken
I went to Nanshan to pick the ferns. I'm worried when I don't see a gentleman. When I see it, I stop, and when I look at it, I stop. My heart says. ---"Zhaonan Grass and Insects"
Fern, in this poem, represents an eternal and wonderful season, a prosperous land where life thrives, and a place built for passion. The most beautiful stage in nature represents a silent and joyful witness from beginning to end of the mutual love between two people. In this sense, nature and humans achieve an unspoken harmony in shelter and mutual recognition.
In the evolutionary history of the plant world, ferns are located on the boundary between lower plants and higher plants. They originate from the genes of those trees that bloom all over the fields and the trees whose fragrance enters the human heart. In the past, we can see this vigorous plant with no taproots, most of which are climbing under the mountain shrubs. It has been closely related to our daily life for a long time and is a popular dish on the dining table in our daily life. Bracken, known as "auspicious vegetable" and "dragon's claw vegetable" among the people, tastes crisp, tender, smooth and gluten-free, and has a fragrant taste. It is a cold dish that I often order when I eat at Northeastern restaurants in Shenzhen. After eating a few chopsticks of wild bracken, and between changing cups and cups, the frolicking around the table will always give rise to a rustic, rustic atmosphere of the rough mountains besides the commercial flavor of fats and oils.
A poem about bracken written by Luo Yonggong of the Ming Dynasty: "Piles of cooked purple agate, chewing bright colored glaze in the mouth. The melting liquid is as sweet as glutinous rice, but I feel empty and full of spring." It praises this ordinary kind. There are not many good poems about plants. Judging from the exquisite color and luster of the words, I guess that this man must be a good at eating. Food, sex, and sex are the most natural things for people. However, what is sex and what is food like? Occasionally read the Book of Songs. In sentences like this that contain the sound of natural music, there will be a meaning. A different kind of clear feeling arises from the heart.
9. Apple (big apple or white apple)
How to pick apples? The shore of Nanjian; where to collect algae? He is in trouble. ——"Zhaonan. Picking Apples"
Why did the ancients pick apples and algae and walk by the water before offering sacrifices? In the ancient agricultural era, the waterside may have been a good place for worship. The waterside was the beginning of the prosperity of all life. And Ping is exactly the kind of lucky plant that the chanting worshiper sees among the prosperous water plants near the water.
10. Pears
Cover the Fu Gantang, do not cut or cut it, it will be picked by Zhao Bo.
Cover the Fu Gantang, do not cut it, do not destroy it, call the uncle to rest.
Don’t cut or worship Fu Gantang, as Uncle Zhao said.
---"Zhaonan Gantang"
The Gantang in "The Book of Songs" refers to the wild pear, also called Tang pear. It is about the size of a Tang pear when the thumb and index finger are circled together. Now, the Tangli pear growing in the soil recesses on the hillside will bloom beautiful snow-white flowers in the spring. In late summer, when the Tangli pear has just matured, they hang in clumps on the branches. They are earthy brown and are a kind of ripe temptation. It looks like a human being. When you pick it off and put it in your mouth to eat, it tastes sweet and sour. It has a large core and less meat, and it tastes very gritty when you eat it.
. The sweetness of "Gantang" should refer to the crunchy taste of the flesh after it is ripe.
11. Plum
There are plums, but they are actually seven. I beg you, a common man, for good luck.
There are plum blossoms, but they are actually three plum blossoms. I beg you, a common man, to be like today.
There are plum blossoms, and they are placed in baskets. Ask me, a common man, to call him. ---"Zhaonan · You Mei"
The plum in "The Book of Songs", judging from the harvest situation, refers to the plum fruit that can be used as medicine. The pronunciation of plum in Chinese is the falling tone. , chanted softly, has the meaning of gentleness and softness, a balance between hardness and softness. Plum blossoms, which naturally belong to the Rosaceae family, like to live along the Yangtze River. In the early cold spring, in the vast snow shadow, the stars and flowers first appear, pink and white, and bright red. It is the first charming charm of the four seasons as the long winter gets warmer.
12. Imperata
If there is a dead elk in the wild, the Imperata will wrap it up. If a girl is pregnant, she will be lured by good luck. -- "Zhaonan. There is a dead elk in the wild"
The hunter wraps the shot elk with white grass to show his devotion to the gift of nature; for a woman in Huaichun, a man comes to mediate her love affair, and the two love each other. Joy is always the most touching picture in life.
It’s very strange. When you read this kind of text, you will see a wonderful picture in front of you, a world where life and death are self-destructive and full of vitality. The changes of the four seasons are condensed into a short period of time. Men and women love each other. Makes people infinitely happy.
In ancient times, Imperata was a symbol of whiteness and suppleness. Close your eyes and you can imagine a white, supple woman accompanying you for a walk on the long embankment of the river bank in the cool autumn. This is a kind of warmth.
13. Gourd (gourd)
Gourd has bitter leaves and has deep benefits. Deep is severe, shallow is exposed.
There is a lot of money, and there are pheasants and pheasants singing. The rails are not wet when the economy is full, and the pheasants cry in search of their mates.
The geese are singing and the sun is rising. If a scholar returns to his wife, the ice has not yet melted.
Recruiting boats, people are involved. It doesn’t involve Yan, but Yan needs to be my friend. ——"Bei Feng·Gao has bitter leaves"
In "The Book of Songs·Bei Feng·Gao has bitter leaves", Gua Gua is a young woman standing on the bank of the river, waiting for Chi Chi It is a side decoration to express emotions when the lover has not yet arrived and is feeling confused.
"There are bitter leaves", the meaning of "bitter" in it is the kind of look that goes with the years, has no place for the time being, but is stubbornly waiting. The anxious look at the empty space at the end of this poem does not point to a result, but allows the expression of emotion to fall into the empty space that has not yet arrived. Therefore, this short poem is filled with a feeling of thousands of people. There is a sense of tasteful loss that has not dissipated over the years. There is hope, but the hope is not there yet. This may also be a kind of human emotion when faced with the mixture of joy and sorrow in time and space. No matter you already have the love in your heart, or the love has not yet arrived, when you read this poem, there will always be a deep and meaningful melodious cries, which is also emanating from the ancient eight tones. timbre.
The silly gourd has followed the history of mankind and has not received any infamy. What it gives people are some imaginations of blessed souls. I don’t know whether it is the good intentions of the people or the gourd’s luck.
14. Tribulus (Tribulus)
The wall has thorns and cannot be swept away.
Chinese words are unethical.
What can be said is ugly. ——"The Wind·The Wall Has Tribulus"
"The road grows beside the ground, or leans on the wall, with small yellow flowers and thorns." The tribulus has no beauty or willow shadow, which is the world. Among all things, it is a popular plant. But it changes with the weather, and in the wash of things and the laws of nature, it gradually grows dark thorns, and lasts forever over time. This is why it can get along with people for a long time, and can have subtle conversations with each other. reason.
In spring and summer, tiny grasses grow inconspicuously. When autumn comes, they are torn apart by the cold wind that blows off the dead leaves on the branches, and fall randomly wherever the wind takes them. Inadvertently, , piercing into the resting flesh, the soles of the running feet, and the palms of the hands exploring life among the grass and green leaves. In this completely unexpected and sudden stimulation that makes people frown and grit their teeth but cannot explain the clarity, the Tribulus terrestris has a continuous relationship with the beating meridians, the undercurrent of blood, and the torn muscles.
There is no joy in the shadow of this caltrop. It makes people see more deeply the fragile self behind the veil of recognition. It makes people think of unclean thoughts, the secret pain of faint bleeding, and life. There are small wounds all the time, and in the smooth and jade-like happiness, you can see the tiny cracks on the porcelain that you have worked so hard to endure. In these insignificant tastes, you can understand a little compassion for the hardships of life, and reveal the natural reflection of all things. Introspection of the heart.
The word "ci" in "The Book of Songs·The Wind·The Wall Has Ci" is where Tribulus appeared in the writings of ancient ancestors. It illustrates the ugliness in the palace courtyard that cannot be left to dry in the sun beneath the gorgeous fur coats and sanctimonious appearance.
In fact, in the human space floating on the sea of ??desire, no matter whether it is a palace wall or a courtyard of common people's mud pots and rubble, there is no absolutely clean place. However, the suffering of the common people is the most painful of the physical and mental sufferings in the changing world. The mute musicians who record the stories and the troubadours who make people's history immortal, in these angry songs and words of criticism, To find an outlet for the inner dissatisfaction of these most miserable people in the world to flow out. This may be another hidden meaning of this poem, and it is also another expression for the rulers to hear the complaints of the people.
The ancients said: Those who grow peaches and plums will have a rest in the summer and will get food in the autumn; those who tree thorns will not have a rest in the summer and will get their thorns in the autumn. This further illustrates the principle of "if you sow melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans". But there are always many people who realize things in this world with hindsight. Everyone knows about the truth that "peaches and plums are everywhere, and they form a stream", and the hatred and resentment towards others are hidden in the fearful road paved with thorns. It is said that if you sow thistles, you will get thorns. Most of the people who fall into the trap sigh with self-reproach. No one in life has ever had such a sigh.
15. Tang (Cuscutus)
Is it true that you are attracted by Tang? The hometown of Qi. Who cares? Beautiful Meng Jiang.
If you want me to go to the palace, send me to the Qi Palace. ——"The Wind·Sangzhong"
"Threads of love" cling to sorrow and joy in people's hearts, and are like clouds, flowing water, wind, rain and thunderstorms. Poems and songs about "love" basically grow in the lingering mist tent.
The first sentence of "The Wind·Sangzhong" can be regarded as a love poem born from dodder. The young man who loves the daughter of the Meng family looks at the golden dodder clinging to the pod branches on the roadside, and can't help imagining what it would be like to be with the woman he admires: on a date, together in silence. The joy that was as thick as the honey of clouds and bees melted away in their hearts. They talked and laughed together, letting the sound of the stream vibrate in the air, washing away the turbidity that had clung to their bodies in the lonely life. They picked flowers together and watched the rain together. Together we step on the broken grass, touch the frost and dew, and taste the sadness like the flooded waves and the happiness of the first flowers on the spring grass. Then, we stood together at the window of our quiet residence, listening to the south wind blowing through the sky, and watching the Qishui flowing to the end of the world. What is painted in such a mind is a hazy lovesickness painting entwined by the changing love threads in the clouds and smoke.
The "Tang" in the poem refers to the dodder in the Convolvulaceae family. It grows around the branches on the tender stems of flax, peanuts, soybeans and other plants to unfold its life picture. of. A dodder tree has golden-scaled branches, with tiny milky white flowers blooming in summer and autumn, and bearing millions of seeds in autumn. This is the seemingly tiny life, showing its strong power when fighting against the laws of nature.
16. Wheat
I walk in the wild and enjoy the wheat. Controlling a big country, who is responsible for whom?
A great gentleman has nothing to do with himself. What Bai Er thinks is not as good as what I think. ——"阘风·zaichi"
This poem is the inner voice of a brave and resourceful beautiful woman, when she asks for help alone for her relatives who have perished in the country. This woman is the earliest named female poet in Chinese history. Her name is Mrs. Xu Mu. In an era when women are nameless, a weak woman can have the same determination to save her family and the country as "I am walking in the wild and picking up the wheat." She can stand alone in the lush wheat waves, holding the shaft and driving the car, to save the subjugated country in danger. , Mrs. Xu Mu's decisive and courageous mind moved the people of Qi to help her get rid of foreign insults and build a home.
17. Bamboo
Use bamboo poles to catch fish in Qi. Don’t you think about it? Don't reach it far. ——"Wei Feng Bamboo Pole"
"Bamboo Pole" is a homesick work by the strange woman and poet Mrs. Xu Mu. The bamboo in the article is her memory of fishing in Qishui when she lived with her relatives. Above, in the fun and peaceful pictures, there is an attachment that connects parents, brothers and sisters. The carefree joy of looking at the water, smiling and waiting quietly is what comforts people when homesickness dissolves on the water. There is a look of dissatisfaction with the passage of time in the shadow.
Bamboo in nature has an elegant color, is thin, round and slender, has clear knots, is tough and difficult to break, and is hollow and measured. Among the music produced by bamboo, the flute makes people emotional, while the flute makes people sad. Bamboo well reflects the traditional Chinese culture where Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism blend with each other, a person's character of standing up to the world, and his lyrical and temperate figure. Wang Huizhi from Jin Dynasty, who "can't live without such a king", and Su Dongpo, who "can eat without meat but cannot live without bamboo", are bamboo enthusiasts who have amazed people throughout the ages. For those of us who are experiencing the transition from agricultural society to modern industrial society, this kind of admiration for natural creatures is like being infatuated with a woman who is reluctant to let go. We find it interesting but also find it difficult to fit in with the psychological rhythm of our daily lives.
18. The orchid
The branch of the orchid is worn by boys. Although I admire it, I don’t know if it’s possible. The appearance is smooth and the belt is hanging down.
The leaves of the orchid are worn by boys. Although I am wearing a 韘, I can't help but wear my armor. The appearance is smooth and the belt is hanging down.
——"Weifeng·Xianlan"
"Xianlan" has been circulated throughout history, and has been interpreted in a variety of images according to different people's hearts and political affairs.
In the first scene, the girl complained about the boy's ignorance about love affairs, saying, although you dress like an adult, do you understand my heart? You look like a person who can bend a bow, ride a horse and shoot, but why don't you know how to love me? It may be a private conversation between young couples in ancient times when the young daughter-in-law was having a bad temper in the inner room. In the poem written with melodious words, a happy girl in love is frowning, stamping her feet, and pouting. The youthful cuteness and agility come to her face. The second type with class consciousness says that this poem is a satire of the people who are not convinced by the ruler's arrogance and childish pretentiousness. Such interpretations are common in literature, which means that the riverbed of life is gradually drying up, and the light and gentle water in life is gradually drying up. Absorbed and exhausted by the strange cracks of interests and desires; the third picture has a bit of realist irony, referring to those who are old, incompetent, and emotionally disturbed, secretly using this poem to laugh at those younger than themselves My immediate boss, there are so many humorous paintings in life that make people shake their heads that they are too numerous to count.
19. Flying Peng
To the east of Zi Bo, the head is like a flying Peng. Without anointing and bathing, who would be suitable for it? ——"Wei Feng. Bo Xi"
A woman likes her appearance, but when the one she loves is not around, her heart becomes dejected, her hair is like a canopy of grass, and she has no thought to tidy it up. The ancients wrote about love so deeply that one can find the sadness of how unbearable the love is from the appearance. ??
The scientific name of Feipeng is Artemisia lucidum, and it seems to be called this in the northwest countryside. The Feipeng actually takes the position of the seeds in the wind. This grass has extremely strong vitality and grows all over the country. It can grow anywhere and everywhere.
Li Bai was about to leave Chang'an, and Du Fu was returning from his wandering in Shandong. When we met by chance but were far apart, the Poet Fairy sent a poem to the Poet Saint: Each of us is far away from each other, let us drink the cup in our hands! It tells the fate of the literati through the ages: to sacrifice themselves for the spiritual soul, and to leave the river of material desire, the Flying Peng will also It is an inevitable state of life.
Hidden on its leaves are the love in the ancient Book of Songs, as well as the impermanence of fate and the desolate atmosphere that cannot be grasped.
20. Papaya---the instrument of encounter and love
Give me papaya and give me Qiongju in return. It's always good to be rewarded by a bandit!
Give me peaches and give me Qiongyao in return. It's always good to be rewarded by a bandit!
You gave me wood and plums, and you gave me Qiongjiu in return. It's always good to be rewarded by a bandit!
-- "Wei Feng·Papaya"
You give me papaya, I will give you beautiful jade, papaya and beautiful jade, in a world of chaos and tranquility, looking forward to There is love that is "always good", an eternal world that is the only magical crystal of "you and me" that has ever existed and does not belong to anyone else. In the direct and clear repeated images in the poem, there is something like an arrow shooting into the gap that splits in an instant. In the moment of expectation, you can see a blue and mysterious world, you can see one pair of hands and another pair of hands appearing in the same picture, you can see the nostalgic and lingering thoughts running on the night sky in the whirling world. The shining silver star with a wish, and the two snowflakes falling quietly together. "The bandit reports", this can be interpreted as the voice of love. Often, I always feel that the concept of eternal love is just an unreal illusion of a perfect plot generated by people's self-expectation. It changes in the interactive world of desire, and it always requires retribution to achieve success. , this will be an inevitable law. Only in this way can the life in which reality and reality are connected have an ordinary appearance and long-term power. But I am willing to keep a green branch and a magnolia flower between the pages of the book from the green season to the dry and declining time, and still put it on the bookshelf where it can be easily accessed. This kind of guarding for a lifetime, what I want, It is both a "bandit's reward" and a "my wish" joy. This can be regarded as the voice of love. However, in this picture that can be unfolded at an unknown intersection, are the papayas ripe?
The words "vote" and "repay" in the poem are the fruits of good intentions and the flowers of joy, the intimate smile when we meet, and the cheerful and smooth notes that can be played on the keys of the piano. It is the softness of papaya and the coolness and joyful calm of jade. It is the starting beat of the elements that love can take shape.
21. Millet
The millet is separated from the ground, the seedlings of the millet. The pace is slow and timid, and the center is shaking. Those who know me tell me that I am worried; those who don’t know me tell me what I want. Long sky, who is this! ——"Wang Feng. Millet Li"
Millet has the song "Wang Feng", which will last for thousands of years. If millet has a spirit, it will live and die together with humans.
Those who know me tell me that I am worried; those who don’t know me tell me what I want. Birds are singing in search of the same sound, people's hearts are singing in sorrow, looking for a close friend, and sighing together for thousands of years is because we share an eternally lonely back. This is the "sorrow of millet separation" and the desolate taste of people's hearts through the ages.
