Begonia Flower Language
In the spring courtyard, crabapple uses rouge petals to express thousand-year elegance. This famous oriental flower, praised by Su Shi as "only afraid of falling asleep at night", not only carries the beauty of nature, but also embodies the unique emotional symbols of Chinese culture. From royal gardens to people's courtyards, the language of crabapple flowers has always been an important code for interpreting Oriental aesthetics. The historical origin of Haitang flower language The image of Haitang in thousands of years of poetry and painting Since the Tang Dynasty, Haitang has become a source of inspiration for literati and literati. Li Qingzhao's eternal song of "Ask people who roll the curtain, but say that crabapple remains the same" perfectly integrates crabapple and the feelings of cherishing spring. The Song Dynasty "The Picture of Begonia and Butterfly" uses meticulous brushwork techniques to freeze the vivid moment of Begonia and Butterfly dancing. The noble symbol of the royal garden, the "Haitang Garden" in the Summer Palace, witnesses the royal family's love for Haitang, and the auspicious combination of "Yutang Fugui" demonstrates its status. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Begonia, Jinguosmanthus and Magnolia trees formed the garden standard of "Yutang Prosperity" and are still a classic paradigm of traditional courtyard design. Multi-dimensional interpretation of Begonia Culture The nostalgia totem in the hearts of wanderers Ji Xianlin writes that "when the Begonia flowers bloom, it is spring in my hometown" and the road ends sorrow of separation. In overseas Chinese communities, crabapple is often made into dried flowers and collected. Its nickname,"homesickness grass," has become an emotional link across time and space. In the singing of Lu You, the poetic carrier of love legend, and Tang Wan's "Toutou Feng", Haitang witnesses the deep love of a talented person and a beautiful woman. The folk custom of "crabapple hairpin" to express love perfectly matches the bitter fragrance of flowers with the hundreds of turns of love. Begonia aesthetics in modern life In contemporary landscape design, Begonia has become the new favorite of urban street scenes. Its characteristics of "immortals in flowers" create a poetic dwelling space in a fast-paced city. Family gardening enthusiasts have also developed the art of crabapple bonsai to integrate the thousand-year flower language into modern life.
From the fragrance of "Qun Fragrance" to the Metaverse Digital Art Exhibition, Haitang always exudes eternal charm. This flower and tree soaked with oriental wisdom is continuing to write emotional poems belonging to this era in an ancient and novel way.
