Tang Xianzu
It is said that Tang Xianzu, a famous playwright and writer in the Ming Dynasty, often had a headache because he worked hard to write plays day and night. He invited the local famous doctor Ye for treatment. After listening to the diagnosis, Ye smiled and said, "Master Tang doesn't need to take medicine. I just often visit our Herb Garden, but after half a year, he recovered.
One day, Tang Xianzu had a headache to conceive a script, so he went for a walk in Ye's Herbal Garden. There are thousands of herbs in the Herbal Garden, which are blooming everywhere and full of fragrance. When he walked into a small and exquisite peony pavilion, he saw colorful peony flowers blooming around him. The fresh smell made him feel relaxed and comfortable. After a while, he fell asleep by the bar, and a beautiful dream quietly entered his sweet sleep.
He dreamed that a beautiful woman in red came to him and said, "I cured your encephalopathy." Why didn't you write about me in your play? " Around, girls as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade shouted, "Didn't you cure Mr. Tang's illness alone?" What about us? " Tang Xianzu was puzzled and asked, "What are your names?" The girls all reported themselves: my name is peony, my name is betel nut, my name is Furong ... and a girl with a big belly whispered, "My name is big belly." Her words immediately caused a burst of laughter from all the girls. An old man with gray hair stood out from the crowd and said loudly, "What are you laughing at?" ! She likes pomegranate and is married. It's me. Tang Xianzu is an elder to them. After waking up, I felt no pain at all, and told Ye the adventure in my dream. Ye smiled and said, "The flowers and plants in my garden cured your headache!" " "
Tang Xianzu nodded and said yes, deeply touched, and wanted to create a script based on this theme. Ye agreed, and wrote a poem, "Next to the Peony Pavilion, the beauty of betel nut is like a fairy. There are two feelings in peony, Chinese Pulsatilla as the medium and gold and silver flowers as the medium, and they become good companions when orchids bloom in August. In the hibiscus account, the knot is linden tree, acacia is in October, and the abdomen is potbellied. Give birth to a strong man, aim high, hold a halberd, fight wooden thieves, and punish bandits even more. During the period of Danggui, the general was ordered by the Golden Temple. " In this poem, * * * wrote 18 kinds of Chinese medicines. Based on this poem, Tang Xianzu created the famous historical masterpiece Peony Pavilion.
Since then, floral therapy has also become a traditional therapy in China, which is widely used among the people.
