Chapter 182: Remembering the Shandong Brothers on September 9
La's words made Edamame Mao blush, he scratched his head, and said, "Dogwood tree? Dogwood flowers? It's the first time I've heard of such a flower. You can see how much of its color looks like a rape flower. β
"When you learn more about Tang poetry, you will know this kind of flower." La Dola said: "In Tang poetry, there are several kinds of flowers that are favored by poets. For example, lotus, plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, and these dogwoods in front of you are all very common in Tang poetry. β
"La-do-la, then you can tell me a song." Edamame begged.
"Okay, I'll think about it...... The best poets in the Tang Dynasty who wrote Zhu Yu were Du Fu, Wang Wei and Zhu Fang. But if you want to talk about circulation......" La Dola muttered to herself, she searched the poetry library in her belly, and finally showed a smile, and it said, "There is! Edamame, I'll read this one to you! β
"September 9th Memories of Shandong Brothers"
γTangγWang Wei
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.
The remote knowledge brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood. β
Ladora reads a sentence, and edamame hair follows a sentence. After Ladora finished reading, Edamame Mao looked up at these brightly colored tuantuong stamens and asked, "September 9th Remember Shandong Brothers...... However, it's only March 3 now, and you're ...... It can't be a mistake, right? β
"How could I admit my mistake!" La Dola was not convinced.
"But where is there a flower that blooms so long? By September 9th, these flowers will surely wither! Edamame used his brains and argued.
"Oh, the dogwood tree blooms in March and bears fruit in October, and it is said that it is wearing dogwood, but it is not said that it is wearing dogwood flowers."
"Oh......" The brain-loving edamame was not the only one in his stomach, and he asked, "So what exactly is it wearing?" Also, why wear dogwood? Also, how can there be 'one less person in the dogwood'? Is it that dogwood is not enough points? Why not pick more? β
La Dora's question overwhelmed her, and it made Edamame Mao go deep into the flower forest to chase Ruofei. After leaving Mao Dayong and Mao Xiaorou's sight, La Duola hurriedly got out of the backpack and took a deep breath of sweet air.
The cheerful and comfortable La Dora replied one by one:
"Every year on the ninth day of September of the lunar calendar is the Double Ninth Festival, through this poem "September 9th Memories of Shandong Brothers" Wang Wei said the three festivals of the Tang Dynasty Chongyang Festival: ascending, wearing dogwood, and reuniting relatives and friends. Just like the Qingming Festival to sacrifice to the ancestors, wearing dogwood is also the standard of the Double Ninth Festival, people wear dogwood, eat canopy bait, and drink chrysanthemum wine on this day in order to live a long life. β
Wang Wei was only seventeen years old when he wrote this poem. Seventeen-year-old Wang Wei has left his hometown to make a name for himself in Chang'an. For young wanderers, the more lively and grand the festival, the more lonely their hearts become. Wang Wei said, 'Knowing that the brothers climbed to the heights, there was one less person in the dogwoods', referring to the fact that the brothers were all reunited today, but he was the only one missing. In particular, the word 'Du' is used wonderfully, which not only reflects the loneliness of the wanderers, but also tells the endless longing in their hearts for their hometown relatives. β
Edamame Mao Yinghe said: "This Wang Wei is really talented, he can write such a good poem at the age of seventeen!" It is worthy of the poetry of the Buddha! β
"However, if you ask Wang Wei which dogwood it is...... "The omniscient Ladora frowned, as if he had encountered a problem.
