Flower appreciation culture rejuvenates the times (look at flowers in the wall)

Another year when viewing flowers, as an important custom in Chinese folk, Tachun has been loved and welcomed by people since ancient times. Today, we can still glimpse the ancient people's flower viewing in many poems and spring pictures. After thousands of years, people ’s enthusiasm for spring flower viewing has not diminished, and “cloud” flower viewing forms such as online live broadcast are even more refreshing. It also brought rural tourism to life and gave birth to a "flower-viewing economy", which injected the connotation of the times into the flower-viewing culture.

In ancient times, flower viewing was an aesthetic activity with a wide audience and almost everyone can participate. You do n’t need to use the incense car BMW or the gong to open the road, whoever you are, as long as you have a heart that does not miss the spring, you can call friends and get close to nature. The Tang Dynasty poet Yang Juyuan wrote in "Early Spring in the East of the City": "The poet's clear scenery is in the New Year, and the green willow is only half-even. If the flowers on the forest are like a brocade, it will be a visit to the flowers." Refers to the Royal Garden in Chang'an City. In the Tang Dynasty, whenever spring flowers bloomed in various places in the garden, people were moving on the streets of Chang'an City. Flowers are like clouds, and people are like clouds. Southern Song Dynasty writer Wu Weixin wrote in "Su Di Qingming is just about the matter": "The pear blossom wind is clear and clear, you are looking for spring and half out of the city." Pear is in full bloom, and half of the people in Suzhou will go out to look for spring flowers. It can be seen that in the life of the ancients, viewing flowers in spring is a popular aesthetic activity.

The ancient scholars and scholars admired flowers, which often pinned elegant taste. One of the most famous stories is Lanting Yaji. Chun and Jingming, three or five friends met, and the water flowed under the mountain of Hueiji, and Wang Yizhi created the eternal classic "Preface to Lanting Collection". In the "Six Bridges After the Rain" by Yuan Hongdao from the Ming Dynasty, there was a paragraph in the spring tour: "Afternoon, I will take you to the third bridge. Table. Less tired, drink on the ground, face with flowers, float more, sing less, and feel happy. "After the New Year rain, Yuan Gong and his friends toured the West Lake, took off their coats, fell off their headrests, drunk the flowers, and drifted down. The number of petals on the face is counted. The most drink a glass, and the less sing a song. This kind of drunkenness and natural leisure and joyfulness complement each other with the spring scenery of West Lake, leaving future generations infinite reveries.

The flower-viewing culture is magnificent and lasts for thousands of years, which is closely related to the unique cultural complex of our nation. In the ancients' conception, day and night replaced metamorphosis of yin and yang, and the change of yin and yang promoted the regular movement of all things. "Su Wen" records: "The yin and yang, the way of heaven and earth, the outline of all things, the parents of change." And the winter and spring of Tibet, spring is the transition of yin and yang, the rebirth of all things, so it is given Vientiane renewal, full of hope Cultural implication. As Xiao Tong's "Compendium" states, "The plan for a year lies in spring, and the plan for a day lies in morning."

This spring, although the new crown pneumonia epidemic has blocked people's footsteps of enjoying the flowers in spring to a certain extent, people's enthusiasm for viewing flowers has not diminished. After the Wuhan University Cherry Blossom Channel was launched, it attracted 300,000 cherry blossom netizens in just one minute. The flower viewing channel opened by the Chongqing Municipal Government set a record of 700,000 people being online at the same time. Advanced technology such as 5G high-definition live broadcast has given a new form of flower viewing.

In recent years, a series of books on flowers and plants have been popular and well received, reflecting that people's appreciation of flowers has extended from the aesthetic level to scientific cognition. The secrets behind the plants have attracted further exploration of flower lovers. "Love in Plants and Trees: The Plant World in Chinese Classical Literature", "Interesting in Plants and Trees: Living with the Twenty-Four Solar Terms", "Beauty Like Poems, Plants and Trees Weaving: Book of Poems and Plants", "Flowers: A History of Pictures and Literature", etc. The combination of ancient poems and botanical knowledge, and some of the solar terms and folklore activities, reflect the pursuit of aesthetics in daily life. The flower-viewing culture is rejuvenating.
