Original text of "Flowers Blooming on the Mosque"
In March, the wind is gentle and the sun is warm; strolling outside the city, looking at the willows and wild flowers on the street, you can't help but feel relaxed and romantic in body and mind .
Walking on the street is just because the flowers are blooming on the street; the flowers are natural, simple and tranquil, not secular. "March Style Flowers on Moshang" is an artistic conception in which flowers' life can shine brightly and people's mood can be relaxed. This artistic conception, with its luxuriant branches and leaves, has grown from ancient times to modern times and has never withered or declined. It is also like water, flowing on the streets year after year. It has fascinated several princes and nobles, beauties in pink and white, poets and ordinary men in ancient and modern times. Fair girl, the flowers on the road in March make people fall in love with them and make them crazy. The shadow of the flowers and the charm of the flowers are deposited in people's bones.
The flowers blooming on Moshang, if there are no people who come out from the mundane and tired life, stand quietly on the street and be intoxicated by the style of Moshang, then the flowers will be lonely and the style will be pale. Therefore, the sentence "The flowers bloom on the Moshang, you can slowly return home" has been chanted several times by several people. When people return slowly, the flowers have spirituality and bloom persistently, and the charm of the Moshang is also stirred up. And enthusiastic.
That is the most wonderful picture in spring: surrounded by beauties in pink and white, a noble lady with a fairy-like beauty and graceful manner, swaying her waist, walked in the palace more than a thousand years ago. On the streets of Lin'an in the south of the Yangtze River, at this moment, a fast horse floated up, and the messenger handed a letter to the lady. It turned out that the King of Wuyue told his beloved concubine to just enjoy the beauty of spring and not to rush back to the palace. "The flowers are blooming on the streets, so you can return slowly." Return slowly, return slowly. What a tender word!
No matter how tender and considerate the words are, it will be difficult for the country to escape the bad luck of overthrow. Lianmei Xichun's tenderness cannot compete with the ruthlessness of swords, halberds and crossbows. The king of Wuyue passed away, and his beloved concubine disappeared, leaving a beautiful story wandering on the streets of Lin'an for people to pay tribute to. One autumn more than a hundred years after the "annihilation" of the Wuyue Kingdom, the poet Dongpo came to Lin'an. History seems to have specially arranged for Dongpo to set foot on the land of Lin'an in autumn. Flowers bloom on the roads in spring, and they also bloom in autumn. However, there is tenderness in the bones of spring, but desolation in the bones of autumn. Dongpo was saddened by the ancients and paid homage to the ancients. Three poems of "Flowers on Moshang" were stuck in his chest, and he vomited them out quickly. "The flowers bloom and butterflies fly on the streets, and the mountains and rivers are still the same as before...", the poet sighed three times, filled with emotion about the success and failure of human affairs. The flowers on Moshang bloom like this in the rut of history, exposed to the wind and rain, soaked in beauty and vicissitudes of life, which makes people sigh.
I almost fell down in front of Mo Shanghua. I suddenly felt that these bunches and clumps of Moshang flowers that bloomed and fell, fell and bloomed again, simply bloomed and fell for the sake of human history and culture. I dare not say that I can touch history and culture, but I can consciously touch the delicate yet tenacious flowers on the road. The flowers blooming on Moshang slowly return, which not only means leisurely and poetic, but also has a greater significance in letting our hearts feel as peaceful as flowers in the tranquil flowers blooming on Moshang, returning to nature, and returning to human history and culture.
Return slowly, return slowly, put on the "March style", pick a bouquet of "Moshang flowers", and return slowly.
Returning slowly, my heart is already full of flowers blooming on the street.
Appreciation of "Flowers Blooming on the Moshang"
March is originally a vibrant scene of spring flowers blooming and all things reviving, and Xu Zhimo's March combines flowers with human history The combination of culture and the words of King Wu and Yue's beloved concubine pushed the artistic conception of Mo Shanghua to a new climax. History is constantly changing, but the flowers on Moshang are always blooming and falling. Although we cannot see how history happens, we can see the splendor of the flowers on Moshang.
"The flowers bloom on the Moshang, and you can slowly return home." Return to nature, don't think about the worrying things in the world, look at the customs on the Moshang, and relieve yourself of the burden.
Return slowly, return yourself to nature, history and culture, and the depths of your heart. The flowers on Moshang have never withered since ancient times, and our Chinese culture is constantly moving forward and never stops.
