The ancients enjoyed the flowers when they had nothing to do, but what flowers did the ancients enjo

When the ancients appreciated flowers, they generally admired the moon season flowers, peony flowers and the like, because they thought these flowers were particularly beautiful.

The ancients mainly enjoyed camellias, peonies, azaleas, chrysanthemums, etc. In fact, garden art has always existed since ancient times, and garden art symbolizes the beautification of the living environment and the yearning for a better life of human beings.

Peony, osmanthus, lotus, plum blossom, chrysanthemum, etc., are liked by the ancients, ancient times are not better than modern, their entertainment is limited, flower appreciation is to pass the boring time, the second is also to cultivate sentiment.

The ancients also enjoyed flowers in different seasons, such as plum blossoms and begonias in spring, peonies and peonies in summer, lotus flowers and chrysanthemums in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter.

The ancients would enjoy flowers according to the flowering period and solar terms, such as peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, plum blossoms, roses, lotus flowers, etc.

Now many people only look at two points when maintaining plants and flowers, one is whether the appearance is good-looking, after all, there are friends who come, and only have face when they see the atmosphere of this flower, or the flowers are large and colorful; On the other hand, I want to maintain it simply, not too complicated, because everyone usually has their own things, and raising flowers can not take up too much time. Few friends raise flowers for a true idea in the heart, or a state of mind, today I will introduce to you which flowers are the protagonists of our ancient poems.

1. Plum blossoms

In the Song Dynasty, it was generally believed that the plum blossom was the first of a hundred flowers, so in the Song Dynasty, the plum blossom was also called "Oiran". The ancients often used the perseverance of the plum to describe their own miserable experience of self-appreciation, but the holiness and tenacity of the plum blossom inspired themselves, so there are many popular poems that have been handed down to this day.

2. Chrysanthemums

Speaking of this kind of flower always feels obedient, but the chrysanthemum has a different feeling, it is neither as famous as plum blossoms, nor as noble as orchids, but the flowers that bloom in late autumn, with that arrogant spirit, have always made many people preferred. Bloom in autumn, do not compete with other words, and quietly bloom beautiful flowers.

This is a kind of poet who has no intention of arguing with others, only seeking a quiet and peaceful state of life, and the feeling of unrestrainedness also warns us that we should not pursue fame and fortune too much, and that we must keep that low-key and enjoy the life of life.

3. Lotus

The lotus, a flower that blooms only in summer, also gave the ancients spiritual sustenance in the hot summer. However, what impresses me most about lotus flowers is that they are different, they are not affected by the environment, they are alone, they are not stained by the mud, and they will not bow their heads to the evil forces. Here we are going to talk about another poet's different understanding of the lotus, he thinks that the lotus is very cute, and the overlapping word "pointy" expresses the cute and moving image of the lotus flower in early summer.

That's right, this is our famous poet of the Song Dynasty, Yang Wanli's lotus, and at the same time the embellishment of dragonflies makes people have a positioning of the season, and at the same time, we have all seen the environment and are very familiar with nature, how refined the poetry of the ancients is, a few words not only show the seasons but also describe the characteristics of plants vividly.

There are many flowers written in the poems of the ancients, including lotus, chrysanthemum, peony, pear, jasmine, peach blossom, rape flower, apricot flower, perilla flower, etc.

Zhou Dunyi wrote about chrysanthemums, peonies and lotus flowers in "Ai Lian Said". Tao Yuanming wrote chrysanthemums in "Drinking", and Wang Anshi wrote plum blossoms in "Plum Blossoms". Zhang Zhihe wrote about peach blossoms in "Fisherman's Song".

Chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, and lotus flowers "pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, and see Nanshan leisurely".

Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before".

The little lotus showed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly had already stood on its head."

There are still many flowers mentioned in the poems of the ancients, such as "chrysanthemum", "plum blossom", "lotus", "junzi orchid", "locust flower", "moon flower" and so on.

Plum blossoms, lotus, lotus, chrysanthemum, peony, osmanthus.

Flower is the essence of nature, the embodiment of beauty, its splendor gives people a feeling of beauty, gives people joy and joy, can invigorate the spirit, eliminate fatigue, dissolve sadness, comfortable and pleasing to the eye, is conducive to physical and mental health.

Flower viewing varies from person to person, which has a lot to do with each person's cultural and artistic accomplishments, religious beliefs, life experiences, habits, personal hobbies and inner emotional world.

Flower appreciation has natural beauty and artistic conception beauty. Natural beauty is expressed in color, fragrance, shape and texture.

Bright flower color, endless color changes, peony glamorous pressure group Fang, moon season compound color, color change, incomparable, chrysanthemum green variety, flowers are rare, many foliage plants, colorful, such as red leaf red banana, red line bamboo, etc., red cup pineapple, dragon's blood tree, begonia and so on have rich colors.

The flower posture is changeable, giving people the enjoyment of beauty, the demeanor is thousands, the chrysanthemum of the single crown is lovely, such as the goddess scattered flowers, meteor lightning, thin tubes such as silk, silver plate hanging, the moon star is rare, fluttering and flying, like ten zhang bead curtain, wonderful and strange, making people dizzy.

Fragrant and fragrant, tempting to find fragrance, plum blossom dyed like smoke, petals thin like wings, fragrant and refreshing, quiet and elegant; The orchid is fragrant and clear, known as the ancestor of incense, a branch in the room, full of fragrance; Milan, osmanthus, jasmine, generations, rich and fragrant, intoxicating and lingering.

The texture of the flower gives people a different sense of beauty, the petals of the moon season are like silk and satin, bright and eye-catching, and the plum blossom is crystal like wax, forming a coordinated texture beauty.

Flowers in a specific environment, has a rich connotation, profound artistic conception, in ancient times often called flowers as "guests" and "friends". Call the peony a distinguished guest, the plum blossom as a clear guest, the orchid as a ghost, and the lotus as a stream. The lotus is a clean friend, the plum blossom is a clear friend, and the jasmine is a good friend.

The pine tree is used to congratulate the old man on his longevity, and the longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan, but there are also pine comparisons to the high wind and bright festival.

Due to the different associations and feelings of the appreciator's position and the mood of appreciating the flowers, the peach blossom is a metaphor for the unrestrained, and the promotion of the powerful and powerful people also compare the peach blossom to the glamorous words of beauty, which is the same as the peach, and the emotion is very different. Flowers bloom and fall, in Lin Daiyu's eyes, sad and heartbroken, when the flowers splash tears, the poet worries about the country and the people, and the flowers seem to be quite humane. The ancients compared the cuckoo to nostalgia and sorrow; But in times of war, cuckoos are compared to the blood of martyrs, and modern people are compared to happiness.

Many post-90s generations should remember the article "Ai Lian Said" in the middle school Chinese textbook, the author is to talk about Zhou Dunyi, he loves Lian alone, not only loves its beautiful demeanor, but also loves its character of "out of the mud without staining".

In fact, this article also reflects that the ancients appreciated plants and flowers not only to see the appearance of flowers, but also to "clear the rhyme of flowers", and internalize the beautiful character of flowers into the criteria for flower appreciators to behave in the world. Then let the national culture be the disadvantage of Lu Lu to introduce, the ancients paid attention to flower appreciation.

The ancients foolishly thought that "if you don't know the rhyme of flowers, it is difficult to enter the realm of elegance". Flower rhyme can "nourish the heart" and "relax the mind". I can't see it, I can't touch it, but I can feel it. In fact, the flower rhyme is the quality of the flower, and appreciating the flower rhyme is the symbol of seeing the flower.

Peony has become a famous ornamental flower in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the peony became the "King of Flowers" in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and its reputation of "national color and heavenly fragrance" began in the Tang Dynasty. Because the peony is graceful and luxurious, and has the nickname of "rich flower", Zhou Dunyi of the Southern Song Dynasty said in "Ai Lian Said", "Peony, the rich and noble of flowers." ”

Although peonies are expensive, the most admired flower rhyme of the ancients is the rhyme of orchids. Orchid rhyme is noble, is a symbol of elegance, Confucius in the pre-Qin period that the orchid is a "gentleman", the descendants will be together with plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and called the "four gentlemen", these four kinds of flowers have a noble and proud world, not afraid of the wind and frost and cold side, its charm is also in this.

The rhyme of orchids is clean and elegant, and the ancients often compared it with femininity, or Yu Lan is a "beauty", such as Su Dongpo of the Northern Song Dynasty "Yang Cigong Chunlan" said: "Chunlan is like a beauty, not ashamed to offer itself." When I smell the wind and dew, Peng Ai is not seen.

Or it can be called "Miao Ji" and "Beauty", such as Song Baozhao of the Southern Dynasty "Wucheng Fu" said: "Miao Ji in the Eastern Capital, a beauty in the south, a blue heart, and a jade appearance." ”
