Jasmine * Flowing white river
Qiande has been dyed green by the wind, and the national fragrance can't be put away, and the ice skin is penetrated. When the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info opened a little bit, outside the window, it was already known.
The more she pities it, the more delicate she becomes, and on the temples of a cloud, that person is appropriate. Don't compare him to Tu Yu, it is clear that he is more.
- Xin Qiji, "Little Heavy Mountain * Jasmine"
Xin Qiji is a chivalrous man in the world of words, born with arrogance, iron bones, and lonely vicissitudes.
The world praises and says: Jiaxuan, the master of the people, the dragon of the word. Looking at his Jasmine, the whispers are gentle, which really surprised me. In his later years, he guarded the countryside, dimmed the sword light and sword shadow, the smoke wind was blowing, and the cool heart was a flowing river. The last end of the words - "outside the window, but he has long been known", "it is clear that he is more", just like the murmur in a barefoot ballad, which makes people's hearts soften.
When Xin Qiji was born, the Central Plains had already fallen into the hands of the Jin people. Due to the early death of his father, he lived with his grandfather since he was a child. Although Xin Qiji's grandfather Xin Zan served in the Jin State, he always hoped for the opportunity to "throw himself into provocation to relieve the anger of his father", and often took him to "climb high and look far away, pointing to the mountains and rivers". He was hated by the country and his family early on, and at the age of 21 he joined the Anti-Jin Rebellion and soon returned to the Southern Song Dynasty. He has served as a pacification envoy in many provinces, and has been a lifelong advocate of recovering lost territory and reorganizing rivers and mountains. He has outstanding military talents, full of patriotic enthusiasm, 20 years of gold and iron horses, and has made countless military achievements. He has been on the Northern Expedition many times, but due to the corruption and exclusion of the current rulers, it has not been adopted and implemented.
Officialdom is far more sinister than the rivers and lakes, and without a sophisticated and sleek character, it is natural that it cannot stand on its feet for a long time. In the winter of the eighth year of Chunxi (1181), when Xin Qiji was forty-two years old, he was dismissed from office due to impeachment and returned to Shangrao Daihu. In the following 20 years, he spent most of his time in the countryside except for two years when he served as the Fujian Tidian Prison and the Fujian Pacification Envoy. Although the tranquil landscape is what he wants, the Central Plains has not yet recovered, which makes him sad and indignant. He spent the rest of his life in this embarrassing emotional conflict, up and down.
This song "Little Heavy Mountain" is his hometown work.
"The musk brain ambergris rhyme is not made, and the smoke wind is transplanted from Nanzhou. Whoever bathes in the makeup girl loves to put idle flowers on her head. "The Southern Song Dynasty has a moist and soft atmosphere, and the custom of hairpins is even stronger. And the jasmine flower pedicle has small holes, which seem to be born for women to admire. Xin Qiji also said that jasmine penetrated the bones and ice muscles, broke a branch and wore it on the cloud temples, and the flowers bloomed on the head of the beauty, which was the most quiet and appropriate. How many things have risen and fallen through the ages, and the precipitation of the years has given him a daily and gentle heart. Watching the bright moon, listening to the cicadas, smelling the fragrance of flowers, drinking landscapes, dancing swords with lamps in drunkenness, waking up to see the children in the creek lying and peeling the lotus canopy, the sword qi under the pen has turned into a fangsi, with the taste of grass and rice flowers, suddenly fresh and tender and gratifying.
Then, use jasmine fragrance to comfort the wounds of the world.
It is said that the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty is very elegant, in the summer night when the cool, often put hundreds of pots of jasmine in the court, and let people use the windmill to drum it, the wind in the fragrance of the face, really cool, and fragrant.
But there is a lot of effort, how can ordinary people afford to have fun?
When Xin Qiji's friend Jiang Kui fills in the words, he usually writes a small preface in detail. A certain year, a certain month, a certain time, a certain person, a certain thought, all clearly. One day, I read his "Qi Tianle" written about crickets, and the preface before the words was particularly interesting, so I wrote it down:
Yu wandered among the jasmine flowers, looked up at the autumn moon, and paused to meditate, looking for this. Crickets, in the call to promote weaving, good fighting, good deeds or three or two hundred thousand dollars to one, ivory for the building to store it.
He also wrote of jasmine: "Picking flowers on a cool night, shaking the clouds and green." Jinluo is a ball of fragrant dew, and the kitchen is unique. ”
It reads beautifully, green, but I always feel like there's one or two crickets missing from the flowers. Wouldn't it be better to have crickets, set up a small table at the jasmine lace, cook tea with the moon, crickets play and sing in the soil, like an old man, all of them are fragrant, they are all cooked, the tea is ripe in half an hour, and the crickets jump to the chair opposite......
For example, Shen Fu and Yun Niang in "Six Tales of Floating Life" invite the moon to enjoy the flowers and drink freely on a summer night. The two of them joined the sentences, and after connecting a few times, they were so disorganized, Yun Niang laughed and fell into Shen Fu's arms, unable to speak, only the jasmine fragrance on the sideburns hit her heart. Shen Fu bluntly said that after using jasmine makeup to press the sideburns, and after dipping it in the gas of oily head powder, its fragrance is even more lovely, which makes the fragrance of Buddha's hand also retreat. Then, after missing three drops, the sky swept away, a bright moon gushed out, and the two were overjoyed.
It's so simple, and it's so affectionate, and it's a life of spirituality of plants and trees, and every bit of it is alive and fragrant, moist and clear.
It's really everywhere in the world, and everywhere is not like the world.
Legend has it that the Empress Dowager Cixi loved jasmine very much, and always wore a few flowers on the flag head when taking pictures. She also likes to drink jasmine tea. The pre-smoked jasmine tea leaves are smoked with fresh jasmine flowers again before drinking, and they are called jasmine double smoked.
Shi Yue of the Song Dynasty wrote in his "Buyue * Jasmine": "Play with aromatic flavor, spring roasting and smoking." Storing thick rhyme, water sinks cheeks. "The process of processing and brewing jasmine tea can be seen vaguely. Later, Zhou Mi commented on "Buyue" in "Wonderful Words": "This flower blooms in April, until the osmanthus fashion has a taste of play, so people use this flower to roast tea." "Jasmine can be opened from April to May to August and September. The flowering period is long-lasting, and the floral fragrance is also long-lasting.
The best jasmine tea is called "jasmine tablets".
Eileen Chang's book says that jasmine tablets are bitter. Not really. It is the bitterness of her novels, the bitterness of the world, and the jasmine slices themselves are fragrant and pleasant, which not only maintains the taste of tea, but also adds a floral fragrance. Tea leads to floral fragrance, flowers increase tea flavor, and complement each other. In the Ming Dynasty, the book "Tea Recipe" recorded in detail the varieties of fragrant flowers and the methods of making tea:
Jasmine, rose, rose, orchid, orange, gardenia, wood, plum blossom, can all be used as tea. When the flowers bloom, pick the fragrance of half and half of the whole one, measure the amount of tea leaves, and pick the flowers for tea. If there are many flowers, it is too fragrant, and the tea rhyme is removed; If there are few flowers, they are not fragrant, but not beautiful. Three stop tea, one stop flower to say.
Thinking of the Spring Festival when I was a child, I followed the adults to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. Kids can get candy peanuts, and adults can have another cup of jasmine tea. The curling heat passed through the white porcelain cup, and the palms of the hands were fragrant. The sweet fragrance from a distant land made me extremely greedy in my childhood, and it was also a noble rite of passage beyond my years.
At that time, I had never seen Jasmine in the village, and I had no elegance in my heart, but I could sing "A Good Jasmine" on the podium with a loud voice, and I would fight with boys and play with mud after class, and now, even in front of Jasmine, I can't sing a word - my vocal cords have lost the tenacity of normal language in my claustrophobic youth. There is only that trace of wonderful thoughts, the fragrance of jasmine tea that warms the palm of the hand on the ice and snow day, and the faint and indispensable like a medicine primer, so as to maintain life.
Yes, life is still abundant and lovely.
Listening to Cai Qin's "June Jasmine", it is this kind of joy like flowers blooming, and flowers sleeping like peace. She sang songs in Hokkien and recited monologues in clean Chinese, like re-washing pure white youth, the sun shook and swayed, and youth flew and flew: I tell you, I was really beautiful when I was young, and at that time, I was the most beautiful girl in town...... The white jasmine flowers I put on the windowsill and the smell of the wind blowing up is still unforgettable......
How did you forget it? Such a good nostalgia. So good youth. Jasmine, jasmine.
White jasmine, white rivers, drowning me.
Every year as soon as the jasmine blooms, the weather is warm. The wind is starting to get hot, warm and humble. On summer nights, it is the most pleasant thing to cool down at the jasmine lace and watch the moon. A friend can watch the jasmine bloom until midnight, I haven't captured the sound of the blossoms, but I think it's similar to the soul breaking, the cry of the clouds, the same as the new life, joy and compassion, full of any change and circulation.
When jasmine buds, it is actually the most beautiful. It's as if the name Jasmine is meant to be budding. The buds are little by little, first the rice is pointy, then the small beans, and then the bigger, like pearls crawling out of the shell of the mussel, hiding between the leaves of the water and breathing in, missing the tenderness of the ocean.
When I saw the jasmine bud, I was also full of tenderness. Even, looking at the white particles for a long time can arouse a strong maternal complex. How they resemble a child's baby teeth. Sweet and childish, just drank milk, with the fragrance of the mother, as if the wind passed, and then again, they would babble together.
I was almost worried that I would become a crazy woman with a quirk, who would steal baby teeth buried under the eaves during the jasmine season, and then be chased by a group of children and hit with small stones......
The eaves of the south of the Yangtze River, the rain has only passed, the moss climbs along the mottled walls to the roof, and the sunlight has the fragrance of white flowers, dripping in my eyes, and I can see the same life as before.
