Tang poems atmospheric cold plum five songs: for the memory of the old creek thousands of trees, a few years to live up to the snow in the open
Cold plum refers to the hardy characteristics of plum blossoms, and also refers to plum blossoms that bloom in winter. Because the plum blossom period spans winter and spring, cold plums are often used to express winter plum blossoms.
Plum blossoms have been introduced from the south to the north since ancient times, and their flowers bloom early, and the fruits are sour and sweet, becoming an important source of sourness in the ancient diet, because the sour taste is conducive to digestion and intestines, and has been given a very high status.
In the Book of Shang, there is a story that Fu, the chancellor of Yin Shang, said that he advised Emperor Wuding that if he wanted to make a pot of soup that everyone was satisfied with, he needed to season it with plums to take care of everyone's appetite. The subtext is that if you want to govern the country harmoniously and vigorously, you must choose people as capable as plums to comprehensively integrate and assist you to achieve the best state.
Then later generations often use the emperor who can use talents as "hetang hand", and talented people are naturally willing to compete for plum blossoms in anticipation of reuse.
This is the tall side of plum blossoms. Then you can also see that in the Yin Shang era, people have already used plums.
The cultivation of plum blossoms in the ancient Zhou Dynasty has spread throughout the Yellow River Basin and is an important food for people's livelihood. At that time, the plum blossoms in the Yellow River Basin were in full bloom, and some kings specially climbed the Zhongnan Mountain to inspect the plum blossom planting here. But this situation, as the historical climate cooled, plum blossoms slowly withdrew from the Yellow River Basin.
During the Tang Dynasty, although the temperature was not as high as in the Zhou Dynasty, it was still very warm. In the Shanxi area of Shaanxi Province, there are still large areas of Merlin planted, which has become a home tree that many people remember. Not only that, the Tang Dynasty Chang'an Qushui, there are a large number of Merlin, its ornamental value is reflected because of the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, people have played in winter and spring, enjoy the plum blossoms.
"Frozen willows with wind falling, cold plums shine fresh."
Although the song is to be played, it is returned to the driver and stays. "Chu Tang Liu Xiaosun "Winter Feast in shuzi house each endowed with a word of freshness"
This is a poem written by a high-ranking official of the early Tang Dynasty in his homeland near Chang'an, visiting the garden in winter and feasting.
It is midwinter or late winter, and the willow trees still have leaves, withering in the wind, but the plum blossoms have blossomed, which are particularly delicious under the clear blue sky and the bright sunshine.
This is to look up to see the plum blossoms open in the sun, and although the plum blossoms on the branches are winter, they carry the bright beauty of the upward resonance with the sun, and the kind of exuberance and vitality that makes people linger.
This poem also has the new beauty of the early years of the Tang Dynasty, refracting the sunny and winter plums from the happiness of the people.
