Eight ancient poems about hibiscus flowers during the Summer Solstice: Hibiscus in the Pure Flower Mountain, hibiscus shines in the flowers

Midsummer is the summer solstice, which is an important period when the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer. The summer solstice is an important astronomical festival in ancient times. With the solar node as the node, the sun has the highest angle in the northern hemisphere and the day is the longest. It is the most important node and coordinate that divides the four seasons and time in ancient times.

Therefore, the Summer Solstice Festival is a festival of the ancient sun god. Before the pre-Qin Dynasty, people had always retained devout worship of the sun. For example, the emperor would wear red clothes to represent the sun and fire, and horses and ceremonial guards would use a lot of red to worship the sun god. This ancient ritual continued into the Qing Dynasty and was an important ceremony for the innate imperial power.

The ancients often used phenology that could represent the special phenology of this season to express natural responses and offer sacrifices to the gods.

So what phenology can be expressed around the summer solstice?

The "Book of Rites and Moon Order", which records the Zhou Dynasty etiquette, describes the summer solstice like this: the wheat in the fields has been harvested, and the emperor will be the first to taste the wheat at this time, and use wheat and cherries to sacrifice to his ancestors. The summer solstice is here, the sun reaches the zenith, deer in the mountains and forests feel the yin energy and shed their antlers, cicadas sound, pinellia grass grows, and hibiscus flowers bloom.

Although the "Book of Rites and Monthly Orders" does not say that hibiscus flowers must be sacrificed to ancestors and the sun god, after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, hibiscus flowers were used in the country's summer solstice ceremonies.

Because hibiscus not only blooms at the summer solstice, it is also a delicious food and a medicinal material. In addition, "Night Flight" records that before the Yellow Emperor, ancient people used to weave hibiscus branches to build houses. After the Yellow Emperor, they began to build large palaces.

The significance of hibiscus to the summer solstice is that it is a flower that blooms toward the sun in midsummer. It is delicate and tender, representing the response of the land's output to the solar terms. Not all flowers bloom in midsummer, but hibiscus, with its strong vitality, was widely used in the construction of farmland villages in the pre-Qin era to protect the summer fields and harvests. Using hibiscus flowers to pay tribute to the sun and gods during the summer solstice has a unique and profound meaning. The meaning of sincerity is to grow like a summer flower and flourish toward the sun.

Hibiscus is also very unique, because during the ancient summer solstice in the north, it may be difficult to see lotus flowers in full bloom (lotus flowers mostly appear in the rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River). You do not lack such beautiful hibiscus flowers when they are in full bloom. , you can pick them in baskets, because they are not only beautiful flowers, but they can also be used as food during lean times.

"There is a girl riding in the same carriage, her face is like Shunhua.

The general will fly, wearing jade and Qiongju.

He is beautiful, Meng Jiang, both handsome and beautiful." There may be weddings all year round, but weddings in the pre-Qin era were mostly arranged during the leisure time. An important period is midsummer after the wheat matures and the hibiscus blooms. At this time, people are freed from busy farm work and begin to enjoy the fruits and carnivals of midsummer. There are various sacrifices and, of course, marriages are made wherever possible.

Arranging a wedding in the summer has a unique beauty of moving towards maturity.

Help the dressed-up woman onto the carriage and horse, surrounded by green trees and blooming hibiscus flowers on the roadside. The woman's pretty face was full of summer glory, like a hibiscus blooming in the morning sun.

Driving a carriage and walking on the road with blooming hibiscus flowers, you feel like a forest-like calmness and fullness of a descendant of the gods. The young couple was bathed and blessed by the midsummer sunshine and wind of flowers. May your days be fruitful and pastoral, like a hibiscus tree’s pastoral, with flowers blooming and happiness lasting.

Therefore, hibiscus flowers will be included in the royal sacrifices about the summer solstice, which is the memory and continuation of the ancient past, and the blessing for the land and the future.

"The tomb of Hibiscus Rongqiu is full of light.

In the forest during the day, there is a gentle breeze on the side of the road.

Crickets sing on the roof, and crickets chirp. Thorns.

Mayflies play with each other for three dynasties, gathering and repairing their wings.

For whom the clothes are given, I bow my head and take them away.

How long does it take to be generous? .

"Cao Wei Ruan Ji's "Yonghuai Sixty-Six"

It is hibiscus that can be found in the mountains and fields. It blooms in midsummer and has a unique wildness in summer. Ruan Ji, a literati with the thoughts of Lao and Zhuang, was born in a In a special place, I saw hibiscus flowers blooming. In fact, this poem is very interesting.

Where does the hibiscus grow? It grows on the edge of the mountain tomb, and it blooms the most gorgeous flowers like the sun.

When the sun sets during the day, these hibiscus flowers wither by the road.

At this time, crickets sound in front of the houses in the summer night, cicadas sing on the branches, and small ones in the water. Mayflies have grown wings and are flying everywhere.

This is a sense of vitality in the midsummer countryside.

In this natural loneliness, Ruan Ji saw it. To the magnificence released by life itself.

The feeling of life is that life is short, and he must work hard and bloom like a hibiscus flower, like all short lives in summer.

In fact, this poem is magnificent and profound.

"The one who shines in front of the tomb is the hibiscus.

Before the end of the dynasty, Rong Biao fell into disgrace.

How can it be like the grass of the Western Mountains, Langgan and Danhe.

The shadow falls on Zengcheng, and the remaining light shines on the sky.

Ning Wei is a young man, and it is difficult to complain over time. "Cao Wei Ruan Ji's "Eighty-two Yong Huai"

It was the hibiscus growing beside the tomb that gave him a sense of passage of time.

That tomb The hibiscus flowers in front of me are blooming in front of the sun, and they are very gorgeous.

But the hibiscus flowers are too short-lived, and the continuous strong wind knocks them down.

The hibiscus flowers are not like those in Xishan. Eternal plants, such as bamboo and Ganoderma lucidum, are long-lasting.

When I see hibiscus, I think of my own short youth and life, which may not last as long as the hibiscus flower.

On the one hand, I hope that I will be as beautiful as a summer flower, as gorgeous as a hibiscus flower, and cherish my limited life. On the other hand, I regret that the hibiscus flower will not bloom for a long time and will not be able to continue to flourish.

So here is the hibiscus flower. Plant characteristics.

Hibiscus blooms in the morning. It is precisely because of the large number of flowers that it has the characteristic of blooming for only one or two days during its long evolutionary history. This is because as long as there are wind pollutants and insects When the media pollinates it, its petals wither quickly to provide sufficient nutrition for the seeds. However, although the flowering period of a flower is short, the flowering period of the whole tree is as long as half a year. The splendor of peaches and plums in spring.

So for the entire tree, this metabolism is enough to ensure survival and continuation.

But for each flower, the life cycle is indeed. Gorgeous and short.

In fact, many people in the pre-Qin Dynasty were willing to collect these flowers because they were a delicious food and even used as a meal replacement in years of famine.

But. For many people, especially wandering literati, the splendor and ephemerality of hibiscus flowers bring a sense of shortness and sadness.

It is precisely because of this splendor and ephemerality that Ruan Ji has. These two poems are used to express the enthusiasm and unknown of youth. However, after the Tang Dynasty, due to the large number of literati and the instability of reality, the aesthetics of hibiscus began to focus on the so-called tragic beauty of blooming in the morning and falling in the evening.

For those who actually see the hibiscus blossoms, the majestic and prosperous atmosphere is enough to outweigh this feeling of withering.

"The beauty of the North Quan, the South Step. Stone ringworm is thick.

Hibiscus from Jinghua Mountain, water hibiscus from Zhendi. ? "Excerpt from Liu Xiyi's "The First Passage of Shaozhou Lingjiu Guangguo Temple, Their Temples Are Connected with the Same Poem" by Liu Xiyi in the Early Tang Dynasty

Looking at the temples in the mountains and forests with the calmest and broadest heart, there are What kind of scenery can you see?

In the mountain forest, the door to the north is facing a mountain spring, and the steps to the south are covered with thick moss. The hibiscus blooms cleanly after the mountain rain, and the hibiscus naturally thrives in the water.

This is the natural beauty of the hibiscus.

Hibiscus is mainly purple and pink, with a sunny and bright color. That kind of bright color is delicate and elegant, not arrogant, blooming gorgeously and elegantly, as if a nobleman is in the mountains or a lady is in the woods.

A net highlights the natural and pure beauty of hibiscus flowers. It makes people feel very relaxed and Zen.

"When the sun is full, Xinglang plays the tune.

It is like a draft of thoughts, but also a chapter of falling flowers.

The breath is mixed with the fragrant clothes, and the light

It is said that a gentleman cannot harmonize with the gods. "Jinghe Libu Wei Lang Zhiwen's Work in front of the Courtyard" in the early Tang Dynasty.

Hibiscus is the flower that represents the arrival of the summer solstice. It was often planted in the palaces of the Tang Dynasty because it blooms prosperously toward the sun. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty hosted a Dragon Boat Festival banquet in May for his ministers, and arranged it in a waterside palace with hibiscus flowers blooming.

Hibiscus is often planted in the offices of officials to show that they do not forget the merits of the summer sun and the hard work of the ancestors.

This is a poem written by Song Zhiwen, a famous minister during the Tang Gaozong period of Wu Zetian, to his colleagues, because where he works, hibiscus flowers bloom on the summer solstice.

The sun is at its peak during the Summer Solstice, and this hibiscus tree is full of flowers facing the sun. I just happened to see you coming back here next morning.

You can draft the edict requested by the emperor in the hibiscus office, and you can also write down the leisurely falling flowers of the hibiscus flower.

In the early Tang Dynasty, writing about falling flowers was not as sad as in later generations. While admiring the hibiscus blossoms and falling, there are lovely purple fallen flowers on the green grass. There is a kind of quiet and elegant palace beauty, which also helped him Colleagues wrote beautiful poems about falling flowers.

The hibiscus flowers are fragrant and the lush branches stretch out to the murals. The scene is like a fairy cave.

Even if the hibiscus flowers fall, they are still the beauty of nature, embellishing the tranquility and elegance of the official office in summer. The whole poem has a bright, uplifting, prosperous and rich temperament.

"Why is the rise of poets, and Yan's poems belong to Shunhua.

The romance flows from a different generation, and the beauty is more graceful than the same car.

The clear dew hanging down from the condensed beauty is shocking. Autumn is separated by crimson gauze.

The cicadas are chirping and the insects are thinking, and the bamboo shade is melancholy. The pessimistic beauty of hibiscus flowers blooming in the morning and falling in the evening began to fill poetry, which is relatively morbid.

But there are always people who correct people's prejudices with clear poetry.

For example, this poem describes the beauty of hibiscus, which was the Shun flower in the Book of Songs era.

The hibiscus blooming beside you is graceful and graceful, as if a beauty from the Book of Songs era was sitting next to you, driving a carriage with you.

The beauty of hibiscus condensation and its long flowering period are both endearing.

It’s just that this light and beautiful hibiscus flower in ancient times is now underestimated and no one loves it, which makes people extremely sad.

Most of the literati’s appreciation of flowers contains utilitarianism and injustice. The times have created different spiritual aesthetics. Hibiscus is an innocent flower and is regarded as a representative of short-lived flowers.

But what about the real hibiscus?

"Qingyang Yurun is full of talents, and encounters early plum blossoms in good times.

Hibiscus can also float on the cup, don't wait for the yellow chrysanthemum to bloom on the east fence. "Liu Shang of the Tang Dynasty "Send" Wang Zhen?"

This poem is full of the joy of life and was written to a friend.

You are gentle and talented, but the day I met you has already missed the early spring when the plum blossoms bloom.

I will be here waiting for you to come back during the summer solstice, because during the summer solstice, hibiscus flowers bloom and you can eat them, or you can use hibiscus flowers to float on your wine glass.

Please don’t miss the hibiscus flowers in mid-summer and don’t come back until the chrysanthemums bloom.

This is a very simple pastoral language. It doesn’t matter what the hibiscus symbolizes. What’s important is that we gather together during the summer solstice. The hibiscus flower is edible, has a delicious taste, is both a delicacy and a tonic. Even if you have wine and lights outside, it can’t compare to the real treasures of the mountains and the homely style here.

Do you want to see the beauty of hibiscus flowers blooming in a wine glass? One sip at a time, it is particularly fragrant and smooth.

I like this poem because it restores the natural beauty of hibiscus and farmhouses.

" The miasma is always warm and there is no frost or snow, and the hibiscus trees are full of red flowers.

Every time I sigh at the beauty of the four seasons, I don't know that there is a spring breeze." "Li Shen of the Tang Dynasty" Hibiscus Flower》

In fact, in Lingnan, hibiscus flowers can bloom all year round, because it is like spring all year round, which is just suitable for hibiscus flowers.

Hibiscus trees are full of flowers all year round, and the flowers will never stop blooming.

Some people say that hibiscus is a summer flower, but if you go to Lingnan to see it, how do you know that hibiscus blooms and falls with the spring breeze? It blooms all year round. It does not know the so-called spring breeze and has no intention of clinging to the spring breeze. .

There are so many hibiscus trees that you don’t even know the four seasons.

Who said hibiscus is a short-lived flower, but hibiscus trees are long-lived flowers.

It’s the summer solstice again. The hibiscus, the flower of the summer solstice, is in full bloom and may wither, but it does not affect the beauty of the bright and fresh summer flowers.

As tall as a summer flower, hibiscus should also have an unshakable position. It is said that the human heart is like a flower that falls without waiting for the wind. For hibiscus, it is just a flower that needs to be changed every night. How can it be so sad? If you don’t believe it, look at the branches on the second day. They are still purple and ruddy with flowers blooming, giving you a new change of clothes.
