Who in ancient times (must be famous) was particularly fond of pine trees

According to the Analects of Confucius? Zihan", Confucius once praised the pine, said: "years of cold and then know the pine and cypress after withering." The Confucius Sage juxtaposed the pine and cypress, or there was a demonstration of the virtue of not being alone.

"Zhuangzi? Let the king" has a cloud: "the cold has arrived, frost and snow have fallen, I am to know the pine and cypress is also lush." Zhuangzi? De full Fu" has "ordered in the ground, only the pine and cypress alone is also positive, in the winter and summer green; ordered in the sky, only Yao and Shun alone is also positive, in the head of all things," the words of the pine and cypress and Yao and Shun, "Xunzi? The book "Daliou" has the following words: "If the year is not cold, there is no way to know the pine and cypress. Things are not difficult, no way to know the gentleman" sentence, will also be the pine and cypress and gentleman side by side. To the Song Dynasty, the literati will be pine and bamboo, plum and known as the three cold friends.

Lin Jingxi "cloud plum house records", "that is, its residence in the soil for the mountain, planting plum hundred of this, with the pine, Huang Huang for the year cold friends"; Yuan miscellaneous drama "Fishermen and Woodcutters" cloud: "that the pines and cypresses and bamboos are more than the year cold gentleman, to the late fall after the flowers are all thankful, but the pine, bamboo, plum blossoms, the year cold three friends. " Later generations used this metaphor to refer to people who can maintain their integrity in the face of adversity and hardship.

The pine grows slowly, and when it breaks through the ground, it is hard to avoid being pressed by the snow and bullied by the wind, so it gives people an image of a talented man who is not met and a hero who is in trouble. Tang Du Xunhe "pine" cloud: "since the small prickly head of the deep grass, and now gradually realize that out of the tarpaulin. People don't know how to recognize the cloud wood, until the clouds begin to be high."

The winter season, all the trees withered, but the pines and cypresses are still lush, full of life. Especially when the snowflakes are flying, the strong pine wearing a white robe, standing proudly in the wind, symbolizing the perseverance, unchanging ambition of the gentleman of great elegance.

Liu Zhen's "Gift to my younger brother" from the Han Dynasty reads: "The pine on the hill is in the pavilion, and the wind is in the valley. The sound of the wind is very loud, and the pine branches are very strong. The pine's branches are strong. The frost is miserable, and the pine is always upright in the end of the year. It is not cold, but the pine and cypress have their own nature."

Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Gift to Mr. Wei Huangshang", which reads, "The pines are growing in Taihua, and they are overcoming the frost and snow. The sky and a hundred eight high, not for the micro-soaring fold. Peaches and plums are sold in the sun, and the eyes of passers-by are mesmerized. When the spring light sweeps the ground, the blue leaves become yellow mud. I hope you will learn from the pine, but do not become a peach or a plum. If you do not change your heart when you are aggrieved, then you will know a gentleman." The pine's posture remains unchanged despite the ice and frost, symbolizing its indomitable nature. Tang Bai Juyi "and the pine tree" cloud: "Pavilion mountain pine, a lifetime of sunrise, Sen towering in the sky, ke bar 100 feet of the clan. The year twilight full of snow, the pine color is rich and green, he is like a gentleman's heart, Bing Cao through the frost." To the song dynasty, painters have pine and bamboo, plum with the painting, called the three friends. There are Song people building key "title Xu Sheng can know the county's collection of Yang fill in the painting" as evidence. The poem says: "plum blossom repeatedly see the pen as God, pine and bamboo Ning know more realistic. Hundreds of flowers and thousands of flowers are all friends, the cold years only see these three people." Pine stands on the mountain, pectus, more vigorous, the ancients often associated with the wind and pine. Song Huizong Chongning first year (1102 years), Huang Tingjian and friends traveled with Echeng Fanshan, passing through a pavilion between the pines, listening to the pine waves at night and made a poem in seven lines, entitled "Pine Wind Pavilion". The Pine Wind Pavilion Poem Post is the ink inscription of Pine Wind Pavilion Poem recorded in running script by Tingjian in his later years, which is the most prestigious among his heirloom works. Its wind and spirit, long wave of large apostrophe, Tidon undulation, a wave of three twists and turns, full of meaning, not less Thuyi "Lanting", straight to Yan's "nephew sacrifice", can be called the fine line of calligraphy. This post was passed down through Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. In Hebei Chengde Summer Resort, there is a group of unique style of building complex, the main hall called "ten thousand ravines pine wind". In the sky under the cover of the ancient pines, the gully virtual wind crossing, pine waves, like Hangzhou West Lake Wanzongling, forming a small environment of silence and tranquility, is the Qing Emperor to read the medals, reciting the ancient books of the realm of good.

The pine tree is tough and tenacious, often symbolizing loyal friendship and love. The southern dynasty music folk song "winter song" sings: "the abyssal ice is three feet thick, the snow covers thousands of miles, my heart is like the pine and cypress, the king's love is not like. The fruit tree bears a golden orchid, but look at the pine and cypress, the frost does not fall to the ground, the years of cold are not different from the heart." Song Dynasty literary great Su Dongpo life love pine, according to "Dongpo Miscellany", "the young man quite know how to plant pine, hand-planted tens of thousands of plants, all in the beam column carry on". When his wife Wang Mao died of illness, Er Po in his grave around the hand-planted pine seedlings ten thousand. Through the cold and summer, rain and wind, ten thousand seedlings grew into an evergreen tree, years and years, life and death, accompanied by his wife. After ten years, he wrote the song "Jiangchengzi" for Ganfu, which is heartbreaking and heartbreaking. Remember the dream", the true feelings overflowing from the end of the pen: "ten years of life and death, not think about it, since unforgettable. There is no place to talk about the bleakness of a thousand miles of lonely graves. Even if we meet each other, we should not recognize each other, but our faces are full of dust and our temples are like frost. At night, I dream of returning to my hometown. The small window of the pavilion, is combing makeup. I have no words to say to each other, but only a thousand lines of tears. I expect that every year my heart will be broken, on the night of the bright moon and the short pine hill." Ten years of companionship in life, ten years of love after death, Wang's why half, to get such a true talent, true nature of the high priest "do not think about it, since it is hard to forget", "year after year intestines broken"! Dongpo is more respectable, life away from this ten years after the farewell, can still have such a passion to write this recited thousands of years of love, especially "the night of the bright moon, short Pine Ridge" sentence, every time I read it, can not help but pathos.

Pine age long, through the winter does not wither, so it is regarded as a fairy, used to wish longevity test, a metaphor for longevity. This symbolism was accepted by the Taoists and became an important archetype of Taoist immortality. In Taoist mythology, pine is often a symbol of immortality, Taoist priests eat pine leaves, pine roots, in the hope that they can ascend to immortality, immortality. At the same time, the pine is often accompanied by cranes. In the minds of the ancients, the crane is a mountain world of things, noble and elegant, there are floating fairy. And the immortal creature is naturally immortal, so it is logical to combine the two immortal creatures into one, symbolizing high purity and longevity, and prolonging the life of the pine and the crane. In the field of traditional painting, "Pine and Crane Prolonging the Years of Life" is an important subject, of which the work of the monk Xugu of the Liou Dynasty is particularly famous. This painting was made in the fifteenth year of Guangxu (1889). The picture is strange and elegant, vivid and cold, the mood is clear and sieve Xiao Sen, the mood is new and cold, the painter to the side of the square folding pen to write out the pine needles and cranes, the lines are vivid, the pen breaks the gas even, very form of beauty, gives a person a kind of happiness, embodies the small pine and crane prolongs the life of the elegant purpose, exudes the dashing out of the dusty floating feelings. Jade carving works, there are also many such subjects. Often designed as a lone pine plant pointing to the clouds, and a moment of crane a long whistling head up, a paragraph to fly, pine and crane movement, pine just crane soft, coupled with a delicate texture, translucent and exquisite, implying that the wife of the long life of a hundred years old, with each other forever, good luck and well-being. Until now, "Fu as the sea of long flowing water, longevity than Nanshan Ageless Pine" is still the most common birthday couplets.
