Five affectionate poems about peony flowers in Mengjiao in late spring: Every family has peony, so you might as well be gentle
Contemporary people know peony but not peony. In fact, the original name of peony was wood peony. In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Tang Ming accompanied Yang Yuhuan to admire peonies at the Agarwood Pavilion, but peonies were called peonies at that time. Compared with peony, peony is woody, while peony is herbaceous. But the reason why people in the Tang Dynasty loved peonies was that peonies resembled peony in late spring. Peony was the courtyard of nobles in Luoyang, Chang'an at that time. It was widely planted in mountain forests and temples. In late spring, the flowers bloomed gorgeously and full. Before peony, it was famous Medicinal flowers and hairpin flowers.
In the early Tang Dynasty, when you walked to the streets of Chang'an, the lady wearing the most beautiful and gorgeous flowers on her head was not a peony but a peony.
In the late Tang Dynasty, peonies were widely planted and became popular, and the Tang Dynasty was known as the Peony Kingdom. It’s just that later generations thought that the Tang Dynasty favored peony instead of peony.
In the early Tang Dynasty, peony was more famous than peony.
This is the earliest herbal medicine named after medicine, which is enough to prove the medicinal value of peony. Peony detoxifies and relieves pain. In ancient times, it was used for digestive intestinal diseases, prevention and treatment of colds, and many gynecological diseases.
It is not difficult to understand why in the pre-Qin state of Zheng, when people bathed and prayed for blessings by the Shangsijie River, they brought orchid and peony. These are two herbs with the function of detoxifying and removing impurities, and peony is not only medicinal , and the flower shape is so beautiful. After the young people go on an outing together, when they are about to say goodbye, they give beautiful peony flowers to the gentle girl. You are as beautiful as this peony. It is the reluctance to part with each other and a romantic agreement.
In the Han Dynasty, there was an immortal named An Qisheng. He liked to make pills after steaming peony flowers. It is said that after eating it, you can live forever without eating human food. It is unknown how many years Anqi lived. But he is a famous deity and the ancestor worshiped by the Shangqing sect of Taoism. When Li Bai was bragging, he said that he had met An Qisheng.
So there is no doubt that even if peony does not make people live a hundred years, it is one of the most important medicinal herbs that Taoists and doctors cannot ignore.
Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, whether in Taoist temples or private gardens, the word "medicine column" often appeared, which was a planting area specially set aside for peony, and its ornamental and medicinal value was very high .
Before peonies, peonies lead the way in late spring, and the flowers are gorgeous, yet noble and beautiful.
Meng Jiao, who lived in the mid-Tang Dynasty, settled in Lidefang, Luoyang in his later years. After a hard life, he has his own home here, close to the suburbs and villages. He managed Henan's water transportation and managed Henan's music affairs. His life improved slightly, he would not starve to death, and his mood was much better.
In late spring, during his leisure time, he passed through the village and admired the peonies grown by every household here. In addition to providing medicinal materials for household use, these peonies also provide hairpins for seasonal flowers in the city. Luoyang City is the same as now. With a huge population, not everyone has a garden. These seasonal flowers flow from the suburbs to the city, satisfying the huge demand. consumption.
So the peonies here are quite spectacular. But unlike city flower shows and garden flowers and plants, there is no tourist craze here, or the place is slightly remote, so the peonies all over the ground are so magnificent and lonely.
For Meng Jiaojiao, who has lived in poverty all his life and is used to the bustle of remote areas, this is the most beautiful place to live.
And he also wrote the most beautiful peony poem.
"Every family has peony, so you might as well be gentle.
Gentleness is a girl, red smiles endlessly.
The moon goddess is both under the moon, and the beautiful branches are floating .
Meet the Immortal in the Cave, and I’ll Visit You in the Blue Sky. "Viewing Flowers in Meng Jiao, Part 1 of the Mid-Tang Dynasty" (811)
It is said that Meng Jiao was a miserable person throughout his life. Writing poetry is not free from poverty, sadness and austerity. Some people actually said that once they saw Meng Jiao's poems, they couldn't stand it and it made people feel bad. For those who only want to find magnificence and beauty in poetry, most of Meng Jiao's poems are indeed too clumsy.
But he is such a poet who tastes bitterness and is not popular with many people. If he becomes romantic, I am afraid that most poets will not be able to catch up with him.
For example, this peony poem is unrivaled in Tang and Song poetry. So what if Li Bai is reincarnated? Li Bai is gorgeous, but compared with Meng Jiao, he is vain. This is a poem written by 60-year-old Meng Jiao.
Peony flowers are blooming everywhere here. Peony flowers are blooming, which is the gentlest beauty.
Gentle like that beautiful woman, you see the peony swaying, like a gentle and windy woman, smiling implicitly, but laughing non-stop.
I was really moved, and even had bitter tears.
How many vicissitudes of life do you need to understand what gentleness is?
That is a tough but clear smile, a long-term waiting and selfless love.
How lovely and moving this peony flower must be to be able to feel the tenderness even in Meng Jiao and write it down so naturally.
Who says that poor people don’t have love in their hearts? It was just the cold that suppressed love, but the blooming peonies made Meng Jiao happy and evoked a deep sense of tenderness. It must contain his indescribable love past and state of mind. He loves gentle women, so he fell in love with the peonies swaying in the spring breeze.
Meng Jiao looked at peonies more than once. Not only during the day, but also under the moonlight at night, countless peonies were floating in the moonlight. He looked and walked as if he was walking in a fairyland. This was a release from the miserable life that he had suppressed for many years. The peony in the endless night gave him comfort for his soul. Who doesn't want to be free? But the peonies bloomed in the night for Meng Jiao alone, and there was beauty in the cold and miserable life.
Meng Jiao is content, Meng Jiao cherishes.
"Whoever is the son-in-law of peony, no one dares to come.
Only one should wait for Shi Lao and open it diligently every day.
The jade has no strength, and the spring
How can I thank my youth and drink a hundred cups? "Mid-Tang Dynasty· Meng Jiao Looks at Flowers? Part 2" (811)
Who is the peony? husband? Who is Peony Flower's husband? At least I haven’t seen anyone coming here, or at least I haven’t seen anyone really cherishing the peonies here.
Is peony flower too beautiful, or is it because of its medicinal properties, people like it, but no one really dares to love it, and is really willing to take peony as a wife. Maybe people in this world say they want to become gods, but they are unwilling to give up their wealth and wealth in the world.
The peony flower is waiting for my poems and her most beautiful lover, blooming diligently every day.
The standing peony tree is extremely lonely, swaying in the spring breeze, waiting for your lover, making people love and linger endlessly.
What can I use to reward you for blooming the beauty of youth for me? I am willing to drink a hundred glasses of wine in front of you. I am willing to fall in love with you and get drunk on you.
Do many people understand Meng Jiao’s romance? At this time, he took peony as his wife and stayed with her every day.
The so-called love does not require you to be alluring. The so-called love just sees you and falls in love with you. However, Meng Jiao is willing, because peony also has another meaning, which is the promise made and the eternal waiting.
Peony may have existed before Meng Jiao settled here, but Meng Jiao was the only one who was crazy about peony. This may be an agreement in the previous life, and they must meet at this time.
"The peonies have been blown away, but I have no choice but to see where the wind is.
No one wants to treat the remaining flowers, but I have to wait for the admonishment.
The admonition is not secular. Gold buys Gao Ge.
Gao Ge makes the night clearer, and the flowers bloom more late in the day. "Mid-Tang Dynasty·Watching Flowers in Meng Jiao? Part 3
The peony flowers are almost gone, and in the morning. The falling flower wind blows in waves.
Who are those peonies with flowers still waiting for? Waiting for me, a poor official, to come.
I, your husband, do not love the glitz of this world, and am willing to give up gold to buy the freest and most unrestrained love song.
I get drunk singing in front of you at night, but I see you working hard for me at night.
This poem also touched me. What kind of flowers is Meng Jiao looking at? It's the peony that's almost blooming.
Any kind of flower withering does not have the beauty of blooming or blooming, but Meng Jiao does not care, because peony is his wife, his lover, not because of color, but because he understands that he needs , he is obsessed with that kind of waiting and tenderness in his bones.
Meng Jiao did not let down Peony, and the dying flower was also his lover.
He sang loudly and let the singing sound linger.
He saw that in the middle of the night, the remaining peony flowers were blooming, as if to repay him.
What is love and what is husband and wife? This is because the love fades but the love never fades, and the love is deep and never gives up.
This is Meng Jiao’s quality. He is not advertised as a poet of love songs, but he is a deeply affectionate person.
"If you drink without seeing the bottom, you will be drunk with a deep red wave.
The red wave stirs the heart of admonishment, but the heart of admonishment will eventually be without it.
It is difficult to get drunk when you travel alone. , I was passing by with a lot of money.
I asked about the flowers but couldn’t understand the words, so I didn’t get much wine. "Mid-Tang Dynasty·Watching Flowers in Mengjiao? Part 4
I was drinking beside the peony flowers. Drinking cup after cup, getting drunk on peonies and fallen flowers.
The fallen peony flowers floated all over the chest and landed in the center of my heart. This advice refers to the very middle, the very center.
Because looking at you alone, I finally felt that it was not enough to express my feelings, so I came with drinking utensils.
I asked you if you were happy, but you always said nothing and just swayed with the wind. As a result, just like this, silently, I drank almost all the wine.
Why did 60-year-old Meng Jiao stay so drunk under the peony flowers?
There is no way of knowing his relationship with his wife, but in the past few years, history records that Meng Jiao lost his son.
Did his wife pass away? In his miserable life, his wife may not live long, and may have died long ago.
The old man who has no worries in the world loves the red peony in the place where he settled. Is he missing his former lover or his wife?
The silent swaying of the peony flowers and the lonely tenderness moved him again and again.
I think at this time, he should be alone. He could lie down among the fallen peonies and drink wine, and there would be no relatives to advise him.
"Three years ago, the spring scenery in this village made my heart sad.
I expected a widow to shed tears alone during menstruation." Mid-Tang Dynasty·?Watching flowers in Mengjiao?Part 5
p>
Meng Jiao lived here for more than three years, but it should have been three years when he wrote this poem.
This poem tells the truth.
Why does Meng Jiao love peony so much? It’s because he has great sadness in his heart. This also proves that his wife has passed away, not to mention that in the past three years, his son has also passed away.
He still retains a small official position, but the peony here has his sustenance and his sadness.
He just said that if a widow who lost her husband looked at such a red peony, she would definitely cry, because peony is the flower of promise, but her husband will never come back.
As for him, after experiencing the loss of his wife and son, he is not a widower. He takes peony as his wife and loves its flowers to bloom and fall. Every kind of tenderness is similar to the tenderness of the human world, but there is deep sorrow. of.
Hong smiled endlessly, with a tenderness that made people cry.
At the age of 64, Meng Jiao died. No one knows that peonies should be planted on his grave.
He wrote the most beautiful and affectionate Peony in the Tang Dynasty. I would like to dedicate this article to him, just like the peony in full bloom at this time.
