"The smoke in the courtyard gathers in the evening"-the acacia tree in the Grand View Garden of a Dream of Red Mansions
I always thought there were no acacia trees in the Grand View Garden of a Dream of Red Mansions. Because a garden may not be able to accommodate all kinds of flowers and trees, novels with emotions as the main body are not garden encyclopedias, and there are no flowers and trees, which is really normal.
But I really like acacia tree, because it is an important acacia tree and a love tree in classical literature. Li Shangyin said, "Acacia tree acacia branches, purple phoenix qingluan * * * feather instrument. "There are many acacia trees in the courtyards of the Tang Dynasty, because it is the most beautiful, homely and warm scene to drink and catch up under acacia trees.
What's more, there are affectionate articles and poems throughout the ages, and they all refuse to miss acacia. Why is there a lack of acacia flowers in a dream of red mansions with the theme of romance?
Fortunately, I saw the trace of Albizia Albizia in the 38th story of A Dream of Red Mansions. At the Lotus Champs, Xiangyun was the host. Actually, the crab banquet paid by Xue Baochai was in full swing. In the second half, Daiyu went to the room. Because she ate crabs, they were cold and not easy to digest, so her heart ached slightly. In fact, her stomach was cold. She wanted hot shochu, and Baoyu followed her and said that there was wine soaked in acacia flowers. Daiyu took a bite, and Baoyu took another bite from a cup, using a hip flask.
At last, I have satisfied my imagination of the feelings of Albizia julibrissin herself, Daiyu and Baoyu.
Actually, Albizia Albizia should be a dried flower at this time, because the flowering period of Albizia Albizia is from April to June in the lunar calendar. There must be no fresh acacia flowers in the crab season. They must have been bought by an outside shop.
Albizia Albizia is a traditional Chinese herb, which has the functions of relieving depression, calming nerves, regulating qi and stimulating appetite. However, making wine and soaking wine with acacia flowers was not an ancient method in Qing Dynasty. It was a fashionable wine-making method in the early years of Qing Dynasty. Putting acacia flowers in wine can neutralize the wine fever.
But in any case, Cao Xueqin asked Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu to drink Albizia Albizia wine, which proved that he never forgot the meaning of Albizia Albizia flower and Albizia Albizia. So many sisters and sisters, the only wine for them is Albizia Albizia wine. It proves that emotionally, Cao Xueqin has repeatedly affirmed that Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu are a couple.
This certainly does not prove that there are acacia trees in the Grand View Garden.
The second time Albizia Albizia appeared, it was during the Spring Festival. In the 53rd episode, A Dream of Red Mansions wrote a grand scene of Jia's New Year. After sacrificing ancestors on New Year's Eve and consuming mental and physical ostentation and extravagance, the family sat together and had a New Year's Eve dinner, which was very interesting and called the Acacia Banquet. There is a soup called acacia soup.
If it's not just for the sake of a reunion, but considering the fatigue of so many people's etiquette, this soup will definitely be a sweet soup cooked with acacia. There is Albizia julibrissin Jieyu decoction in Chinese medicine, which is specialized in soothing the liver and clearing away heat, nourishing blood and calming the mind. Before this soup, everyone drank wine, and Albizia Albizia has the effect of hangover.
Except for these two places, Albizia Albizia is not in the season of blooming, which is just an understatement. Although I think Cao Xueqin must like Albizia Albizia, I just don't remember planting a few in the Grand View Garden.
but I was wrong. Cao Xueqin has never forgotten Albizia Albizia. It's just that he didn't write it clearly. There is Albizia Albizia in the Grand View Garden, and it is often seen by Daiyu and Xiangyun Baochai.
On the Mid-Autumn Night of seventy-six, the Jia family had already shown signs of decline. Xiangyun and Daiyu were enjoying the moon by the pond of the concave crystal pavilion, focusing on the future and connecting poems. Every sentence had a real source, or a classic or an actual scenery. Then there is such a sentence, which comes from Xiangyun's mouth, "the smoke in the court gathers in the evening, and the stone marrow flows in the autumn."
Daiyu shouted "Yes" and said, "How did you come up with it?"? Xiangyun said that when she saw this word yesterday, Sister Bao said that the common saying was "Ming Kai Ye He". Dai Yu said that this word is more appropriate at this time.
Daiyu's state is more like the surprise of being suddenly told. How do you know? It can be seen that Daiyu has long hidden in her heart the beauty of Fei and what intention Fei represents.
?, blooming at night, refers to the acacia tree. Why does Daiyu applaud? Because there are acacia trees in this grand view garden and this courtyard, and their leaves can be seen opening and closing at night every day. So she said, this word is very appropriate and appropriate.
Albizia Albizia is not a particularly cherished tree. Since it is in the Grand View Garden, Cao Xueqin is so melodramatic in writing Albizia Albizia, so he just doesn't use the word Albizia. Is it because you are in love with Baoyu and Daiyu, so Shimada Hanzo is half exposed on purpose?
Such a huge and beautiful acacia tree only appears in such a poem, as if it were just a vague green inconspicuous scenery.
Until a comment on writing by Zhi Yanzhai, I saw another deep reason. It turned out that after Lin Daiyu and Baoyu drank acacia wine for the first time in a dream of red mansions, it was Zhi Yanzhai's tearful comment on writing, "Hurt, did the author still remember to make acacia wine before the short boat?" Only twenty years. "
Cao Xueqin wrote a dream of red mansions, and died in his forties, at least for the first 8 times, which should have been written around the age of 35 or before. Push forward 2 years, he should still be a 1-to 15-year-old child. What is his friend Zhi Yanzhai sad about? Is it true that there is a Daiyu who drinks together and then dies?
this secret is not difficult to solve. More than 2 years ago, there was another important figure in the Cao family, that is, Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin loved acacia flowers. In his collection of poems, "Poems and Notes of the Neem Pavilion" and "Poems of the Neem Pavilion", Albizia Albizia appeared many times. It proves that his residences in Beijing and Jiangnan are planted with acacia flowers.
"The bright red one draws and cuts the spring Luo, and the night flowers open the brocade nest.
The spring water in the postal kiosk is much cooler than the usual waves of bees and butterflies. " Cao Yin
"The solar term is more than day lily, and the court remembers Ma Ying." Cao Yin
Moreover, Albizia Albizia flower wine-making was a popular fashion wine-making in Beijing in the early Qing Dynasty, and its method was only circulated among aristocrats. Then Cao Yin will naturally treat his guests and his family with Albizia Albizia flowers. With the death of Cao Yin, Cao Cao immediately turned into decline. That's why Zhi Yanzhai, who is familiar with Cao Xueqin's family history, is so sad.
It is in order to protect the Dream of Red Mansions from people's hearts that Cao Xueqin deliberately played down the existence of acacia trees in the Dream of Red Mansions, but he couldn't help but pin his most beautiful feelings on it.
That is to use the love of Baoyu and Daiyu and the acacia tree in Daiyu's eyes as an eternal memorial.
Then a tree that Cao Xueqin hasn't written must be a neem tree. That's my grandfather's favorite tree, too, and I took the neem pavilion as my own number. Melia azedarach has purple flowers, and when it falls, it falls. In a Dream of Red Mansions, Miss Yingchun lives in Zi Ling, or her prototype is one of Cao Yin's daughters. When Yingchun got married, Jia Baoyu sang a song about Zi Ling, which was unique.
Love and beauty in poems read by first clothes are better than snow. .
