Chestnut snow solar terms

Today is Qingming Festival. During the holiday, are you enjoying flowers in the suburbs or going to visit the grave to worship your ancestors? Surely this beautiful spring day will bring you different feelings.

Tomb-Sweeping Day's Qi is named after "the air is clear and beautiful, and everything is obvious".

"Hundred-year-old Questions" records: "At this time, everything grows clean and bright, so it is called Qingming.

"At this time, the sun is shining, plants are sprouting, flowers are in full bloom, and nature presents a vibrant scene.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is another day when people pay homage to their ancestors and pursue the future with caution.

The integration of solar terms and festivals makes Qingming both natural and humanistic.

In Song Dynasty, Wu Weixin wrote in Qingming is a matter of Su Causeway: "Pear blossoms rise in the breeze, and wanderers go out of the city to find spring.

At dusk, the songs are ready, and the willows belong to a warbler.

"

As the saying goes, "Qingming does not wear willow, and beauty becomes a flower head." Tomb-Sweeping Day uses willow branches to arrange flowers, which means to bless immortality.

During the period of Tomb-Sweeping Day, various colors of iris were blooming in Taiwan Province Province, such as red, blue, white and yellow.

Some leaves have just sprouted, such as maple leaves and chrysanthemums.

Others, such as small balls and cherry blossoms, are also in full bloom at this time.

The above is the work of Wang Guozhong, the founder of Wenhua Road in Taiwan Province.

Qingming is an important festival in traditional culture and the fifth solar term in spring.

Qingming is a beautiful word, which can be natural scenery or personal mood.

The sky is clear and cloudless. While remembering our ancestors, we can also examine our own mentality. Is that clear?

If you want to express natural scenery, use "write landscape flowers"; As for the purity and clarity of personal mood, it belongs to the category of "heart is like a flower". Expressing emotions through scenery is a common way of expression in floral creation. Looking at "artistic conception" through "physical environment" can express deeper connotation.

There was a poem by Wu Wenying in Song Dynasty: "It's still sunny now, and the flowers can't reach Xiyuan Road.

The soft shade of green trees is the place where spring stays.

"

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, I'm in Tomb-Sweeping Day. On a drizzly and cold spring day, the pink flowers of Rhododendron microphylla are either in bud or in full bloom; Deep in the shade, the lilies in the distance are quietly blooming.

The whole work is full of spring, which is where spring stops.

The ball flies lightly, like drizzle, high or low, or left or right everywhere, drawing beautiful spatial images; Pink roses and purple pearls echo each other, soft and fresh, and are simple patterns.

Cheng Hao, a Neo-Confucianism scholar in the Song Dynasty, famously said, "Everything is self-adaptive", which reminds people of a sentence: "Looking at flowers makes people cultivate their looks".

In the troubled and complicated days, enjoying flowers and arranging flowers can calm the impetuous heart; Inserting flowers in a bowl can correct the original heart. "If your mind is clear, your heart will be clear."

Pink orchids are beautiful and dignified against the blue star-shaped flowers. Be careful and quiet, and everything will be as bright as a mirror.

In the Song Dynasty, Su Shi wrote a poem: "A snow in Dongzhu made me melancholy, and my life was clear." This is a lament for the hurried years, and it is also the wisdom of life to laugh at the flowers.

The following works want to convey the meaning of "Qingming". Flowers are mainly turquoise. In the white porcelain vase, there are lush pine trees, green East Asian orchids, white freesia and a small Huang Ju, which blend into a clear picture.

The above is the work of Wang Aizhu, a professor of floral art in China, Taiwan Province Province.

During the Qingming Festival, it was the wisteria season, and the purple flower clusters in the corridor rushed to open, attracting a group of wild bees to indulge in the fragrance of flowers.

The flowers of wisteria are blue, red and pure white.

In the mountainous area of southern Anhui, wisteria that can't be found at ordinary times can be found now. They bloom on the tops of Qinggang Tree, pine trees and sandalwood trees, showing off their colors and flowers.

A few late blooming camellias, new leaves and buds are all pulled out.

Some unknown wild flowers can often be seen on Chashan Mountain, and bamboo shoots have also been unearthed, exposing the tip of bamboo shoots.

The friend surnamed Shi planted a white mountain tea and a bunch of peonies beside the bamboo forest.

I'm going into the mountains again in the next solar term, and I'm going to ask him for some peony flowers.

New green life

At night, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Qingming. When it rains, it begins to drift away and pink is everywhere.

Cherry blossoms rarely grow branches and hardly need pruning. In the eyes of flower arrangers, an old cherry blossom that is decades old is itself a huge flower arrangement, and its branches are randomly arranged, which is a masterpiece.

Cold-eating flying flowers

Fourteen Chinese hydrangeas with a height of six meters and a crown diameter of five meters are lined up on the roadside, and countless thousands of hydrangeas have changed from green to white, becoming popular punching places.

The scenery of hydrangea was "thrown" in all directions through Tik Tok and his circle of friends.

I saw many descriptions of Mu Xiuqiu in the ancient painting "Broken Branches", with the name "China" in front of it, which shows the difference between it and other varieties.

Where is the hydrangea thrown?

Guanyin wood, once a year, spreads its crimson leaves in front of Tomb-Sweeping Day, which is particularly dazzling in the sun.

Several clumps of Guanyin wood in the garden were a small seedling pulled down by the courtyard wall when Mr. Guohua visited Mr. Zhou Shoujuan's former residence in Suzhou forty years ago.

With its branches and leaves, it is inserted into the jungle landscape style. This year, a red leaf tower was planted in memory of my master, Mr. Guohua, who loved flowers all his life.

The above is the work of Anhui famous teacher Zhou _

Qingming is the turn of mid-spring and late spring.

"People in the cold spring, listening to pear flower rain all night.

People who arrange flowers will choose willow branches, pear flowers and mountain cherry blossoms. To show this "unconsciously deep spring" scenery.

The above is _ Huadao's works.

During the Qingming period, the earth presents the image of spring and scenery. The withering of vegetation teaches us to say goodbye, and the vigorous growth of vegetation teaches us how to create life.

Willo yiyi

Colorful is always spring.

Rhododendrons are blooming brilliantly in Shan Ye, wisteria are quietly blooming, and pale green leaves, pink and purple flowers are covered with branches.

There is also a late bloomer, Bai Juanmei, who is exceptionally pure, elegant and smart.

After the magnolia withers, the struggling leaves look very powerful.

Castanea henryi has small red flowers, which are in sharp contrast with the green leaves and are very beautiful.

The tall hydrangea slowly changed from green to white, hanging round the branches, which was quite spectacular.

In a word, all love can't be caged in Qingming Festival.

Warm sunshine in spring

Spring and Qingming

Recall old friends

The above is the work of Hangzhou Florist Jin Minjuan.

"Once the spring rain moistens, everything will be clear.

"Fragrance, ancestor worship, clear memory, dense and distant.

The above are the works of Taiwan Province Woyun Mountain Residence.
