There are many examples of flowers referring to women in the Source Code. In my opinion, as a student majoring in botany, these flowers are actually very important clues: they are clear and distinctive, which is very helpful for understanding the plot of the characters. The various forms of women derived from this show Murasaki shikibu's meticulous observation and profound insight as a writer, as well as her rigorous conception and wonderful brushwork. This is good enough for a novel. Give a few examples:) The quoted part is the original words in the book. Tong Hu, the mother of Genji. "Tung" is a paulownia with purple flowers in spring, but its style is not very high. Metaphorically, his description is perfect, but his position is not very noble. After Tong Hu's death, Genji's father married barnacles. The queen almost decided the fate of Genji's son's life, and she was also his favorite woman. "Rattan" is wisteria, which is also purple, but it is a symbol of elegance and nobility. To make a metaphor, it is "in all respects, it is very similar to the Children's Tiger Hall before she changed clothes" (no wonder both father and son fell in love with her) and "born in a famous family". Later, Sharla Cheung was first compared to Arnebia euchroma. Like wisteria, they are all noble purple, suggesting their blood relationship and similar appearance, so that Genji "inadvertently found the image of the person he deeply admired in this girl." There are comments on the internet that she is "as beautiful as flowers and grass", which is the reason. However, when Sharla Cheung grew up, the book described her as another kind of flower: "If flowers are used as a metaphor, they should of course be called cherry blossoms, but they are better than cherry blossoms and really different. Sakura was the highest and most popular one in Japan at that time. Just as the evaluation of (Mrs. Zi) in many places in the book is flawless. However, after all, she is no longer the girl Genji brought. Although she looks beautiful and docile, everyone loves her, but her heart has actually deviated from the track of "wisteria" and "Lithospermum" set by Genji for her. From this reading, are the emotional lines of Genji, Barnacle and Ji Zi much clearer? Another example is Chao Yan and Yan Xi: Saixixi must be impressed by everyone, that is, the girl who fell in love with Genji and then died quickly. But before meeting Genji, she was actually compared with another kind of flower: Dianthus changxia. Sunset and constant summer are delicate grass flowers in summer. But life in the long summer is longer and brighter. If it weren't for Genji, her fate could indeed develop in the direction of Chang Xia. As for Chaoyan, the Chinese translation is mostly "hibiscus" (Chaoyan is the hibiscus in ancient Japan), which means that there is a rare woman in the book who has only spiritual love with Genji, but no physical relationship. The sunset glow is pure and innocent, humble enough to reach, but it is a shady existence that can only be opened in a hurry in the dark night and then disappear; Chaoyan always keeps a distance from the branches, and has a strong nature. She must be bright and strive to adhere to the big light. Is it also a thread to compare the fate of two women's personalities?
