Where does Green Pine on the Mountain and Flowers on the Mountain come from?

A small poem in "Awakening Hengyan".

Awakening Hengyan", "Green Pine on the Mountain, Flowers under the Mountain".

This is what Cheng Jiande did before 1988 and uploaded in 2011.

From Chapter 9 of the Word of Kindness:

Ke has cultivated the Tao, the cause and effect are clearly determined, and the ancient and modern beans are not bad. Good and evil are like blessings without sin, and the sages are willing to believe in them. The green pine on the mountain and the flowers under the mountain, the flowers and the green pine are not as good as him.

One day, the frost falls, and I see no flowers in the green pines. Evil is a plowshare, good is mud, and good people are often deceived by evil people. The iron plough is changed every year, and the mud in the field is not seen.

The green pine on the mountain and the flowers under the mountain, the flowers laugh and the green pine is not as good as it, and one day the frost falls, only to see the green pine without flowers. ”

Translation: Spring is coming, and the wildflowers are blooming at the foot of the mountain, the flowers are scorching, bright and beautiful, and the fragrance spreads far and wide. They held their heads high in displeasure and laughed at the monotony of the green pines on the top of the mountain, with no flowers and no fragrance.

The cold wind is rising, and winter is coming. The flowers under the mountain withered, only the dead branches and leaves shivered in the cold wind, and the green pines on the top of the mountain were still vigorous, and the green shade was undiminished.

Historical Exploration. The couplet, the literature of the battle. This parallel symmetry of language and writing is similar to the so-called "Tai Chi Shengliangyi" in philosophy. That is, everything in the world is divided into two halves of yin and yang, which are symmetrical to each other, and the essence of thinking is extremely interconnected.

Therefore, we can say that the philosophical origin and deep national cultural psychology of Chinese couplets are the dualistic concept of yin and yang. Yin and yang dualism is the basis of the ancient Chinese worldview. Grasping things with the dualistic concept of yin and yang is the thinking method of ancient Chinese.

This dualistic ideology of yin and yang has a long origin, and the hexagram symbol in the Book of Changes, that is, is composed of two lines of yin and yang, and the "Book of Changes" says: "One yin and one yang is the Tao." Lao Tzu also said:

All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. (Lao Tzu, Chapter 42.) Xunzi thinks:

Heaven and earth are united and all things are born, and yin and yang are combined and change. ”

The green pine on the mountain and the flowers under the mountain, the flowers laugh and the green pine is not as good as her, one day the frost falls, only to see the green pine without flowers. I wish you to learn from Qingsongzhi, and I wish you a better future than Meihong.

It is commonly found in "Awakening Words".

But this poem should have been written before the Ming Dynasty at the latest, because there is this poem on the incense tube of the white ground ochre ink color flower butterfly pattern poem in the Cizhou kiln in the Forbidden City:

The green pine on the mountain and the flowers under the mountain, the flowers and the green pine are not as good as him. One day the frost hits, and the green pine does not see the flowers on the same day, which should be a Zen poem.

The green pine on the mountain and the flowers under the mountain, the flowers smile and the green pine is not as good as her, after a gust of wind blows away, I see the green pine without seeing the flowers, you do the green pine or the flower, the green pine sticks to the square and stands, the mountain flowers are full of wind, but the green pine needs to be hard, how can there be a mountain flower so delicate, the mountain flower is ten thousand flowers, the green pine is independent and the cliff is ten thousand zhang, if you want to wind can't blow, only do the green pine is not envious of the flower.

It should be: the green pine on the mountain and the flowers under the mountain, the flowers and the green pine are not as good as it. One day, when the frost rises, I see that it is easy to see it.

Riddle Brain teaser The green pine on the mountain is under the flower, the flower blooms and the green pine is not as good as it, and one day the frost falls, only to see the green pine without flowers.

1. It means that the pine tree is neither a small grass nor a flower. The grass can't withstand the frost and snow, and the flowers can't withstand the wind and rain; The pine tree has been tested by the cold, and in the face of freezing and blizzards, it still holds its head high, which is really "the snow presses the green pine, and the green pine is straight and straight".

2. This kind of arrogance and evergreen demeanor of the four seasons are often used by the Chinese people to compare the old birthday star "Shou is not old than the Nanshan pine, and the blessing is like the East China Sea". The evergreen backbone of the pine tree is not only often used by the Chinese people to bless the deep blessing of life, but also its integrity and integrity, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have been inspired, and people with lofty ideals have not hesitated to throw their heads and spill their blood for the sake of national righteousness and human liberation.
