――Li Bai "Qingping Tune* Part I"

With the fragrance of peony flowers, I opened the album of history, and the time was the second year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty (743 AD). The beautiful spring, the material atmosphere is clear, and it is the time to brew flowers. Chang'an Imperial City, Xingqing Pond, Agarwood Pavilion. The peony on the edge of the threshold is in full swing, and it is unprecedentedly beautiful......

One day, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei set up a banquet pavilion to taste wine, watch flowers, and appreciate their hearts. Musician Li Guinian brought the newly selected children of Liyuan to hold their respective instruments and came to accept. After a bow, they are all on the sidelines to sing. Unexpectedly, Xuanzong said: "Wait, today's concubine, appreciate the famous flowers, why use the old words?" Immediately ordered the musician Li Guinian to take his jade flower horse to find Li Bai to enter the palace to write poems to help the fun.

Time goes back to a year ago, that is, in the first year of Tianbao, forty-two-year-old Li Bai, with half a lifetime of travel and full of ambitions, was introduced to Chang'an by others. Legend has it that on the day Li Bai entered the palace to meet him, Xuanzong admired his talent, and actually "bowed down to greet him", and "gave food to the front with the Seven Treasures Bed, and made the spoon with his own hands". When Xuanzong asked about some affairs of the world, Li Bai also took it to heart and answered it fluently. Xuanzong was greatly appreciative, and immediately asked Li Bai to serve the Hanlin Academy, and his duty was to draft proclamations and accompany the emperor. Whenever there is a banquet outing, Li Bai's attendants will be ordered, and the poems will be documented, and the magnificent words will be passed down for thousands of years.

In "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", Li Bai is even more described as a clear and flat tune, which is detailed and legendary.

said that Li Guinian was ordered to fly and ride, and hurriedly left the palace and went to the Hanlin Academy to summon Li Bai, but Li Bai went to the wine shop to eat wine. Li Guinian immediately took Li Bai's crown robe and jade belt, turned around and looked for it along the streets in the city. After a long time, I heard someone singing loudly in a restaurant on the side of the street. When I heard it, that person was Li Bai. When I entered the restaurant, I saw that Mr. Li Bai was already drunk, and he was still holding a cup in his hand. Li Guinian stepped forward and said loudly: "By the holy decree, Master Li will go to the Agarwood Pavilion to see him. Li Bai ignored it completely, and read "I'm drunk and sleepy, and I will go", and he fell asleep. Seeing this scene, Li Guinian had no choice but to ask someone to help Li Bai on horseback and enter the palace. In front of the Wufeng Tower, there was a messenger from the inner servant, giving Li Bai a horse to enter the palace. Li Guinian put on a crown and robe for him on the horse, and hurriedly walked to the Agarwood Pavilion before helping Li Bai off the horse. And Li Bai was already drunk to the extreme, and he couldn't worship at all. Xuanzong ordered someone to take a purple blanket and spread it on the side of the pavilion to let Li Bai rest for a while. Later, Yang Guifei asked people to take the water in the pool and spray Li Bai's face, he woke up, opened his eyes slightly, and saw that it was the royal driver, and immediately struggled and prostrated himself on the ground and played: "The minister deserves to die." Xuanzong then gave Li Bai a seat, and sent someone to make sobering soup. After eating the decanting soup, Xuanzong said to Li Bai: "Zhaoqing came here today, there is no other intention. Just for this peony to bloom, I play with the concubine, I don't want to repeat the old music, I stop working, just wait for Qing to make new words. Li Bai still wanted to drink, and said to Xuanzong: "Wine is thirsty and wants to swallow the sea, and poetry is crazy to go to heaven." The minister vainly claims to be a fairy in wine, but after eating and getting drunk, the higher the poetry, the more proud he becomes. With the power of wine, Li Bai called the eunuch Gao Lishi to take off his soap boots for him, and asked Yang Guifei to polish the ink for him.

A branch of red dew condenses incense, and the clouds and rain Wushan are in vain.

By asking who in the Han Palace is like, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup.

- "Qingping Tune* Part II"

Famous flowers love the country, and the king often looks at it with a smile.

Explain the infinite hatred of the spring breeze, and the agarwood pavilion leans on the railing in the north.

- "Qingping Tune* Part III"

One of them is a concubine, the second is a peony, and the third is a combination. With the pen in the void, carve its wind bones, paint its look, when it is implemented, and just respond to one of them, read it charmingly, the flowers are blurred, full of fragrance, Taibai is really a fairy talent. After Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei saw it, they were all very happy and admired. Immediately ordered Li Guinian and the children of Liyuan to compose a new sound, playing the flute, drumming, pipa, blowing chestnuts, tooth boards, chorus, drunk in the ear, melted into the heart, and the aftertaste is endless, such as in the fairyland, it is really good.

The beautiful scenery of a good day, the peaceful and prosperous times, nothing is better than this.

However, Li Bai was getting tired of the life of the royal literati, seeing that the country was prosperous and corrupt, although he was appreciated by Xuanzong, he had no real power, and the ambition of helping the world and saving the people in his heart was far from it, and he could not make any changes to it, he was disheartened, he drank all day long, and formed a "wine immortal" tour with He Zhizhang and others, and even Xuanzong did not call him into the court. In addition, Gao Lishi hated the matter of taking off his boots, and repeatedly slandered Xuanzong and slandered Li Bai, and over time, Xuanzong also snubbed and alienated Li Bai. After only three years in Beijing, Li Bai abandoned his official position and fled into the four corners of the world.

Everything has variables, all have a definite number, and only time can make everything settle. More than ten years later, the Anshi Rebellion broke out. Datang's qi veins are like reaching the top of a parabola, and the next thing is to fall, and a deeper fall. Until, the parabola of another dynasty to connect history, in the blossoming and falling of flowers, with gentle or strong force.

But the peony is really a Tang flower.

The kind of overwhelming and earth-shattering prosperity can only be given by peonies. Looking at a peony, it blooms so prosperously, blooms so majesticly, and blooms so long and without wilderness, it will give birth to a kind of trance, suspecting that it is in the Tang Dynasty. The air is the air of the Tang Dynasty. The color is the color of the Tang Dynasty. Strength is the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

It's like listening to Li Yugang's tunes. "The silk blows to the idle courtyard, swaying spring like a line. Stop for a long time, and make a whole flower. didn't pick up the water chestnut, stole half of the people, and the colorful clouds were funny. How could Bu Xiangbou show his whole body ......", he sang "Peony Pavilion" in reverse, dyed his rouge face, Qiong Yao's nose, his eyes like cigarettes, and his voice like a snake hyacinth, with endless softness and mystery. A word hangs on the tip of his tongue, he doesn't come first after a long day, his heart hangs, the spring is drawn into a line, and the voice is also drawn into a line, only by him dangling it. The peony is blooming in the play...... It's the flower in the full moon.

There are thousands of flowers in the world, just like thousands of emotions, and no one can replace each other. You can't write my poems, and I can't dream of you. For example, peony and peony are similar and belong to the same family, but they still cannot overlap. At first glance, peony and peony are really indistinguishable, but if you look closely, they are still different. The petals of the peony are closer to the silky nature, and the corolla is close to the leaves and opens close to the branches. The petals of the peony have an oily surface, and the flower branches are like grass stems, which are tall and swaggering, soft and smooth. The peony flower branch is strong, old, as if it has been burned by fire, and the peony, how can it be called a branch, how can it be called a bone, how can it be called a flower tree, that is at most a stem, and then a little thinner, it will become a vine.

There is also a legend about the flower branches of peonies. On the first day of the first month of the second year of the Heavenly Grant, the snow fell in Chang'an, Wu Zetian drank and wrote poems, and wrote an edict with a drunken pen: "The Ming Dynasty traveled to the garden, and the spring was known quickly, and the flowers were sent overnight, and the wind did not blow in the morning." "Hundreds of flowers are intimidated by this fate, open overnight, and the single peony does not violate the season, and the stamen does not open. Wu Zetian was furious, demoted the peony from Chang'an and burned him at the stake. Peony suffered from this calamity, the body is like coke, but the roots and branches are not scattered, standing upright in the cold and cold, when the spring breeze blows vigorously in the coming year, the flowers bloom more colorfully, and then get the name of "scorched bones".

Love is the scorched bones of the vicissitudes of life. On the scorched bones, the flowers bloom more colorfully. "Yao Huang", "Wei Zi", "Er Qiao", "Zhao Fan", "Danlu Red", "Green Jade", "Crystal Blue", "Vine Purple", "Luminous White", ...... Dazzling, they are all vast and magnificent beauty. The peony is also enthusiastic, not hidden, not dodging, with the spirit of life and death, blooming, blooming, always blooming as if it is not enough. is like a woman in love, with amazing extravagance and incomparable innocence. Whatever you want, I will give it to you, this bloom for you, this flower fragrance for you, this mountains and rivers, the years of the world, what I can afford to give, what I can't afford, I will give you. That precious affection is like gold falling from the sky, don't tell me you don't want it.

Yes, anyone who has seen a patch of peonies will be impressed by the surging beauty. A pot or a branch also seems to be a woman who lives in the people, with natural wealth. And the peony is so folk, there is it in folk paintings, and the marriage in the countryside is it.

My mother's dowry, there are peonies on the blue calico, dyed indigo and old cyan, as if there is a forcibly suppressed low eyebrows, and the petals, one petal at a time, are the appearance of the previous life. The red quilt core is also a peony, the big flowers are open, there is not a bud, festive, sleeping on it, just like the old times...... The pearlescent spit feeding, the painting hall is in good spring, the twists and turns of the world, tribulations, and joys are all like fragrant breath, flowing quietly between the eyebrows. The heart will be plump out of thin air, like a blooming Tang flower. It's useless when you open, and it's safe when you lose.

There are also people who don't like peonies. If you don't like it, you don't like it, how you look at it, it's all vulgar. But I still like it. In the story of a Tang poem, smelling the peony fragrance in the middle of the world and falling asleep, I don't want to be a romantic ghost, I just wish that there are flowers and plants in my dreams that are loved by people, and there are large peonies that will open Shaoguang, and I hold a handful of wealth in the red dust, and I buried myself deeply, and buried deeply.

Because this is the world.
