Fan Xing. It's the season of plum blossoms again. Every time I get to this point, I think about it
The earliest time I knew that plum blossoms were a symbol of noble character, I read the word "Fortune Operator Yongmei" when I was a child, and at the same time I knew Lu You's "Fortune Operator Yongmei". The same praises the nobility of plum blossoms, a heroic, a sentimental, and the realm is different. Later, I watched the opera "Sister Jiang", and its theme song "Red Plum Praise" is, of course, a portrayal of the feelings of revolutionaries "stepping on thousands of miles of frost". When I was studying, I traveled to Suzhou, and saw the famous couplet of Lu Runzhen, the champion of the late Qing Dynasty, in the Lingering Garden: "Reading is correct, reading is easy to change, reading is quiet, reading Zhuang is taken, reading Chinese is strong, and the most flavorful volume is in the years; With the chrysanthemum, with the plum, with the lotus, with the orchid, with the begonia rhyme, must call themselves the gods in the flowers. I thought it was very meaningful, so I copied it at that time, and when I came back, I respectfully polished the ink, copied it into a picture, and hung it on the wall of my home. Among them, the "sparse" and "noble" of "sparse with Mei" are different in wording, but they are very expressive, and they also remind people of Wang Anshi and Lin Yongmei's famous sentences - "I know that it is not snow, because there is a dark fragrance", "The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon". Among them, it is written that "dark fragrance" is intriguing. "Gaojie" and "dark fragrance" are different from the flamboyant "Gaojie"! Later, when I read Li Qingzhao's "A Cut of Plums" (Red Lotus Fragrance Remnant Jade Autumn), and because Teresa Teng's "Plum Blossoms" and Fei Yuqing's "A Cut of Plums" were sung everywhere, I felt that plum blossoms have become a prominent image of popular culture in addition to being high and stoic. So don't you often hear that pop culture is a gust of wind? But in fact, many pop songs have clearly become classics that have been sung for generations.
In 1984, Wuhan chose plum blossoms as the city flower of Wuhan. In China, the city with plum blossoms as the city flower is Nanjing (there is Meihua Mountain, known as "the world's first plum mountain", as well as the plum garden new village where *** lived), Wuxi (there is a famous garden - Rong's plum garden, which is the private garden of Mr. Rong Yiren's family), Meizhou (where there is Meijiang, plum garden) and so on, all highlight the deep relationship between the city and plum blossoms. Although the plum garden was built in Wuhan East Lake a little later (1956), it gradually had its own characteristics and fame, such as the China Plum Blossom Research Center, the Plum Culture Center and so on. Every time the plum blossoms are in full bloom, there is ** like weaving, very lively. At that time, how many people still remember the meaning of plum blossoms? Plum blossoms are the goddess of flowers in winter, decorating the lives of countless flower lovers, which is also a beautiful thing. Wuhan has four distinct seasons, cherry blossoms bloom in spring, lotus flowers bloom in summer, cinnamon fragrance strikes people in autumn, and plum blossoms smile in winter. And Wuhan people take plum blossoms as their city flower, which can also just reflect the vitality of Wuhan people who are not afraid of cold and are quite solid! Although, in my opinion, since Wuhan is famous for its great rivers and lakes, it can also use the lotus flower as the city flower. There are two city flowers in one city, why not? There are many cities in China with two kinds of flowers as the city flower, such as Beijing flower for the moon season, chrysanthemum, Qingdao city flower for the winter, moon season, Nanchang city flower for Phnom Penh Ruixiang, moon season, Hefei city flower for osmanthus, pomegranate.
In this way, it is said that the suspense of our national flower is unresolved. It is said that all localities have selected their own provincial flowers and city flowers (Hubei's provincial flowers are also plum blossoms), and the next step should be to choose the national flower, however, during the ** period, because Sun Yat-sen liked plum blossoms, he once set the national flower as plum blossoms. In 2019, the China Flower Association held a public vote for the national flower, and among the ten favorite flowers (orchid, plum blossom, peony, chrysanthemum, yueji, rhododendron, lotus, camellia, osmanthus, narcissus), the majority of peonies were selected, with a total of nearly 80%. Peony has always been a symbol of wealth, entrusting people's desire for wealth and wealth, as well as the reputation of "the king of flowers". The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Peony Card and the RMB Peony One Yuan Coin are quite circulating in the market. Therefore, whether the rich peony or the noble plum blossom has become a big and small problem in choosing the national flower. In today's world, people are competing to be well-off and eager to be rich, and peony has naturally become the choice of most people, which can be described as expected. However, despite this, the contemporary national flower has not been decided. Of course, there is no hurry. The establishment of the national flower in the United States has been debated for 100 years (finally, in 1986, the House of Representatives voted to finally confirm the rose as the national flower).
Writing here, I thought of Lu Runzhen's "with the chrysanthemum, with the plum, with the lotus, with the orchid, with the rhyme with the begonia", and thought of Qu Yuan's love for orchids, Tao Yuan's love for chrysanthemums, Bai Juyi's love for peach blossoms, Zhou Dunyi's love for lotus, Yang Wanli's love for azaleas, Lin Yutang's love for orchids and daffodils, Bingxin's love for roses, Zhang Ailing's love for begonias, ......Colorful and interesting old days. Different flower lovers, for the personality of all kinds of flowers, there are thousands of purples, different beautiful stories! Everything is worth savoring, but not always the reason for it can be said. And the old saying "fun is indisputable" can also become a rhetoric for flower lovers here.
