Poetry, flowing in the long river of culture and art of Chinese civilization, has always been an indispensable part of the cultural blood, and has always occupied an unparalleled position of China people in the cultural field. Since the Book of Songs, ancient poetry has been stretched like running water in the lives of ancestors, and it also allows the agility of words to describe things and express yearning for the soul. The continuous spread of civilization has conveyed the feelings of China people from generation to generation. People, in this vast ocean of words, the description of jewelry and jade actually occupies a great space, and poetry is a perfect combination, full of cultural fragrance everywhere. In "One Pearl, One Jade, One Poetry", Xu Lihong and Hui Liang, two close friends in jewelry poetry circles, brought 27 kinds of ancient pearls and jade, such as Yu Pei, Qiongju, Qingyu case and Jin Buyao, to past lives, which made people uneasy and sad.
If we want to talk about poetry, we should start with The Book of Songs, which is the first collection of poems since China has a complete cultural record. The importance of The Book of Songs determines China's writing techniques, image selection and language style in the field of culture and civilization. These unique creations laid the foundation of poetry. Among them, those poems related to jewelry and jade are impressive to read. "One Pearl, One Jade and One Poetry" begins with the Book of Songs and traces the origin of civilization. The poem "Feng Wei Papaya" is "Give me papaya, give me peach, give me peach, give me plum, give me plum, give me nine". After careful consideration, the so-called "Joan" in later generations, the idiom "repay kindness with peach" takes gratitude as its connotation, and "one pearl and one jade, one poem" is expressed by "repay kindness with tree", which is obviously more warm and simple. In the relaxed communication, we give the first-class jade and reward others with "papaya". This feeling is the best gift for attention, which makes people appreciate generosity and can't help but admire its cuteness. Not simply writing stories, but talking about culture and delicate feelings. How can such a style of writing not be liked?
I don't know without looking. It turns out that our understanding of culture is still very superficial. Not only are there many beautiful descriptions of jade and emotion in The Book of Songs, but it is also common to express feelings with pearls and jade gems in the poems of different poets in other dynasties in China. For example, the typical poem in Untitled Poetry is Jinse. Li Shangyin's "Lantian" is written in "Mermaid's tears shed on the green sea of the moon, Lantian spits jade at the sun", which has always been misunderstood. In fact, "blue sky" is the legendary mountain name that people can't find. Rumor has it that where the immortal is, the sun is warm. At this moment, the misty air of plum rain rises in the mountains, swaying. Every traveler can see the mountains in the distance, such as Dai and Mei, bathed in the warm sunshine, and wisps of haze take off and disappear in the mountains and valleys. The tranquility and harmony surrounded by mountains are fascinating. The jade jewelry sleeping here must contain the essence of the aura of heaven and earth.
Such a beautiful description, coupled with those beautifully printed pictures, really makes people fondle it. But do you think it's so beautiful? No, where can the jade culture of Chinese civilization stop here? In addition to the beautiful jade, there is also the mysterious "shark bead" in Jiao Ren's poem "One Pearl, One Jade". According to legend, Jiao Ren is similar to a mermaid. They are both in the sea, but Jiao Ren is the representative of wealth here. The tears they shed when they cry will magically become pearls, crystal clear and shining like the bright moon. Maybe it's because of beauty, maybe it's because of mystery, but it's more likely because of the shining light of jade jewelry itself. This beautiful legend has made pearls the favorite of many people in thousands of years of cultural history. And the second touching point of "one pearl and one jade, one poem and one word" is also here-beauty and symbol.
Poetry and songs are concrete expressions, and pearls, jadeites and gems are practical accessories. These beautiful gadgets can not only become women's jewelry and costumes, but also make beautiful women's faces more radiant, and can also express their will and position. Zhang Ji politely rejected Li Shidao, who is a self-respecting soldier. At present, Zhu Yu's heart has been occupied, and his sincere expression is superb. Of course, there is also "Emerald". You can see that "the green bamboo dharma is a green pond, dripping with exquisite colors", which has been flowing for more than 1000 years, and there are different thoughts of jade in the colorful; Another example is "the corner is cold and the jade is shaken, and the reflection of the eaves and teeth is soaked in glass", which is pleasant in color, crystal clear and pleasing to the eye; Another example is "tulips in lanling wine, amber light in a jade bowl", and crystal clear wine in a bowl is really enjoyable to drink and taste.
You see, such a beautiful poem, with exquisite pictures and full of cultural charm, is a good book worthy of our careful taste from any angle. I hope you can read it, too, and read the beauty, the essence of poetry and the charm of culture here.
