Zhang Zheng said: "I have just said that in late spring and early summer, the peony withered not long after, the red flowers in the flowers will be exhausted, but the peony is still in full bloom, so it has the reputation of "Greedy Spring", so this "Greedy Tail Spring" is another name for peony. ”

"Oh, what is the 'flower phase' in this poem?" Charlene asked.

"This is the origin of 'flower phase'. According to the records of the wild history, because the peony and peony have been fighting for many years, they have never been able to distinguish between the two and the middle, and finally had to be ruled by the empress Wu Zetian at that time. Because Wu Zetian was called the emperor, the capital of Luoyang, lived here for a long time, and dealt with the government, she had a special preference for Luoyang peony, so she sealed the peony as the king of flowers, and the peony as the flower. In this way, the two major flowers of Huaxia are one for the king and the other for the phase. ”

"Oh, this is the first time I've heard of this legend, it's so interesting. I think the first two sentences of this poem should be written with graceful peony flowers, romantic and charming, shy and lovely, like an elegant girl, lively and lovely posture; The third sentence should be written, although the peony has a bright color, graceful and noble temperament, but humble and low-key, silently spitting fragrance, not competing with the peony for spring humble ladylike demeanor; The last sentence should be that although the peony is condescending to the flower, her fragrance floating in the wind is not inferior to the Kao peony. Brother Zhang, does my sister understand? ”

"Yes, my sister explained it absolutely correctly. The ancients had a cloud: the peony is desolate, and the red medicine is full of fragrance when it is opened. In late spring and early summer, hundreds of flowers remain, and there is still a fragrant peony. When the end of spring, the group of flowers withered, the fall of the English colorful, peony but graceful, dignified and elegant competition to open, she continued the breath of spring, ushered in the enthusiasm of summer, peony attachment to spring, like a pair of lovers, affection, inseparable. ”

"Wow! It's so poetic, since the peony is so beautiful, my sister will make the peony. ”

"Oh, what Sister Xia means is that you make this graceful peony and let Sister Wu make the graceful and luxurious peony?"

"That's right."

"Sister Xia, I suggest that you listen to my introduction to this peony again before making a decision."

"Okay then."

"Peony, also known as wood peony, Luoyang flower, Guyu flower, rich flower, etc. It is a unique woody precious flower in China, the flower is large and colorful, graceful and luxurious, rich and dignified, and fragrant. It is known as "the national color and natural fragrance" and "the king of flowers". There are many varieties of peonies, different flower colors, yellow, green, flesh red, dark red, silver red as the top grade, especially yellow, green, ink as the noble. The red one is like fire, the yellow one is like gold, the pink one is like the sun, the white one is like the jade ......, a breeze blows, and the fragrance comes to the nose, which makes people feel refreshed and ......happy. ”

"Brother Zhang, I still know a thing or two about the characteristics and characteristics of peonies, and what I want to hear most now is those beautiful poems and songs about peonies, because this is your specialty, so I will trouble you to introduce a few works in this regard." Charlene suggested.

"Okay. Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem called "Appreciating Peony", in which he wrote: The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the hibiscus on the pond is pure and affectionate. Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. Although this poem involves three kinds of famous flowers in the country, it is not difficult to see that the poet prefers peonies. ”

"Brother Zhang, I know this peony peony, but what kind of flower is this 'hibiscus'?" Charlene asked.

"The ancients once said that this flower: those who are born in water are called grass hibiscus, and those who are born on land are called dry lotus, Sister Xia, do you know what this flower is?" Zhang Zheng asked.

"Isn't that a lotus flower or a lotus flower?"

"Sister Xia is right, the so-called hibiscus is actually another name for lotus."

"Haha, this ancient man is really, can he die if he doesn't make a mysticism? Lotus flowers are lotus flowers, why do you have such an abstract broken name? With Brother Zhang, let's continue to appreciate Liu Yuxi's "Peony Appreciation". Charlene said.

"Okay. In this poem, Liu Yuxi does not praise the color, shape and aroma of peonies in a straightforward manner, as other poets do, but compares the disadvantages of peonies with the "peony before the court" and "pond hibiscus (lotus)", the best of which are the advantages of peonies. He thinks that although the peony flower is delicate and beautiful, it is too charming and not of high style; Although the hibiscus (lotus) is clean and elegant, it is too high and lacks a trace of interest. Therefore, in front of the peony, the famous flowers of these countries are inevitably overshadowed, and only the peony is the true national color that sensationally allures the capital and the country. ”

After listening to Zhang Zheng's explanation, Xia Lin said: "When I was in middle school, in order to go to the park to enjoy peonies, my father also specially asked me to read Liu Yuxi's poem, but because I was young at the time, my understanding of this poem was very superficial. Now, after listening to Brother Zhang's explanation of this poem and flowers, I have a new understanding of the writing technique of this famous poem. ”
