Write love letters for flowers

Hundreds of years ago, several idiots wrote love letters for flowers all their lives. These "love letters" are not like the sweetness that Zhu Shenghao wrote to Song Qinru, nor the sweetness that Wang Xiaobo wrote to Li Yinhe.

I went through the whole book, and there was no mention of love, no sensual or hypocritical writing, or even extreme seriousness. Then fine taste, the eyes are full of this delicate flower, it seems to be alive in front of the eyes, lovely, delicate and beautiful, quiet, flowers in a variety of forms, are flowing out on the paper.

The love letters mentioned in April are actually paintings made by Japanese painters for flowers. I define them as love letters because they make people feel excited.

Unlike other plant science paintings, these works, a book depicts only one kind of flower, they want to leave the love for this flower in time, leaving it once the most prosperous flowering period.

Next, with April, let's read these love letters for flowers.

Cherry blossom atlas

Although there is no official national flower in Japan, the importance of cherry blossoms to Japan is self-evident, and the spirit of Japanese culture can be reflected in cherry blossoms.

From March to March every year, from the beginning of the first cherry blossom, the TV station will follow the cherry blossom in full bloom and fall. In the past, without advanced shooting equipment, Japanese people who loved cherry blossoms would paint to record the most meticulous beauty of cherry blossoms.

There are 112 varieties of cherry blossoms in the cherry blossom atlas. The painter Sanxue is the first person in the world to study cherry blossoms and is known as the "Dr. Cherry Blossom".

"without a square for three days, the world is full of cherry blossoms."

There is no mighty rain of cherry blossoms

It's just a quiet display one by one.

More than 100 species of cherry blossoms, with little difference

The colors are mainly pink and white.

Were it not for years of meticulous observation

With the love from the heart, how could this cherry blossom love letter be born?

Sanjiaoxue is like a devout admirer of cherry blossoms.

It shows the most meticulous and authentic side of cherry blossoms.

It's like showing people a precious piece of jewelry.

Chaoyan 36 Flower Writing

In April, I first knew that Chaoyan was in the Tale of Genji. At that time, I had little knowledge of the book and forgot most of the plot, but I was very impressed by Chaoyan.

The Chaoyan in the book is "Chaoyan Jijun", noble and beautiful, independent and brave. She is one of the few women in the book who dare to reject Prince Genji directly. She is as brilliant and strong as Chaoyan.

"Chaoyan 36 Flower Writing", created in 1854, is a love letter to Chaoyan painted by the famous naturalistic painter Hubi Xuezhai.

The book depicts a total of 36 kinds of morning glory color paintings, although the number is much less than the number of morning glory recorded in the Flora of China, but the morning glory depicted in the book are treasures, many of which have been lost.

"Chaoyan Flower Rattan

Turn around the fishing bottle

But the water of asking for help. "

The face-facing vine wriggles and grows in the book.

All kinds of flowers, some gentle, some with open teeth and claws

It seems that they are still fighting for each other.

The flowers bloom for a short time.

But also because of the vitality of blooming.

Regarded as a symbol of courage and strength.

The flower language of Chaoyan is that love lasts forever.

Its flexible vines and bright flowers

Just like a woman who guards love.

The picture of Toona sinensis

Chunhua is not an eaten Chinese toon, but a camellia. According to legend, the sunflower only grows in the valley far away from the hustle and bustle, and its status is on a par with the cherry blossom, known as the "holy flower".

Everyone only knows that there is a cherry-watching resort in Japan, but they do not know that it is exactly the same on the big island near Tokyo. Every early spring, young girls wear kimonos printed with Chunhua to admire Chun Chun.

When the Toona sinensis fell, the whole flower withered, with a heroic and sorrowful beauty. It was called "Luochun" and was regarded as the soul of the samurai.

"Toona sinensis has fallen, and it is turbulent in spring."

The Toona sinensis painted in the book

I don't know if it is a fallen Toona sinensis or blooming on the branches.

No branches and leaves, huge flowers, in full bloom on the paper.

White, pink, red

Or pink and white, red and white.

Each color is so clear and beautiful that it forgets vulgarity.

The petals are layered and full of vitality

On the paper, show its proud grace.

The Legend of Hou Lian in Baichuan

In Japanese tradition, the affection for lotus is completely different from that of China.

The lotus is a symbol of nobility and elegance in our country, but in Japan, the lotus is an unknown flower. Because lotus flowers often appear in Buddhism, and Buddhism represents the world of bliss, generally used only in temples and funerals.

It may take a lot of courage to paint such an "unknown" flower. The painter doesn't know who he is, but he must love the lotus. Each lotus blooms or closes as if it were still born in the pool.

The lines on each petal

They are clearly visible, as if they can still be touched.

There are more than 50 kinds of lotus in the book.

The most common ones are pink and white

The number of petals varies from level to level.

At first glance, it looks very similar, but each has its own style.

White and green green lotus and Jiangnan lotus

The tip of the petal is like a brocade lotus stained with blood.

There are also rare species of purple and white.

It is the most glamorous master among the lotus flowers.

Atlas of Acorus calamus

Acorus calamus and Acorus calamus are two completely different plants. Acorus calamus is a plant of the genus Gladiolus in Araceae, while Acorus calamus is a variety of jade cicada, belonging to the genus Iris of Iridaceae.

Gladiolus originated in northeast China and was introduced into Japan in the ninth century. After long-term breeding by horticulturists, 100 varieties have been cultivated.

Acorus calamus is one of the few flowers that combines feminine and masculine characteristics. Erect hard leaves and delicate flowers, like the two sides of a chrysanthemum and a knife.

Each calamus is graceful and graceful

Blooming in the pages of old books.

The flower patterns and colors of Acorus calamus are changeable.

White is elegant, purple is charming, and brown is weird.

Calamus painted on paper

Can not attract people in an instant.

It has a gentle and implicit power.

Beauty will gradually seep into our hearts.

The atlas of five kinds of flowers introduced today and April is just a drop in the ocean of the ancient plant spectrum that exists in the Japanese library. After reading these paintings, my heart is full of gratitude and admiration.

From Shan Hai Shu Pin

Hundreds of years ago, even though the materials were not rich enough, a group of people who loved plants used their lives to record the beauty of plants. Hundreds of years later, we look at these paintings as if we can imagine how prosperous the flowering period was at that time.

The paintings painted by botanists for flowers are not only love letters dedicated to flowers, but also precious wealth of mankind. It makes the flowers of a long time ago sparkle in the dust of history and still smell charming.

From Shan Hai Shu Pin
