"Qiu Lan is green, with green leaves and purple stems. It is beautiful and suddenly alone with Yu."
Still starting from Zuo Zhuan, "Lan has a national fragrance and people are so flattering" ("Three Years"). Forget it, it's good that Mandarin can teach people to be famous. Starting from "One", it may take 30,000 years to learn "Gao Lan". Botany is simpler: orchids refer to orchids in plant taxonomy, which are perennial monocotyledonous herbs with about 450 genera. Twenty thousand kinds. It's not reinforced concrete, how can it be sold for 6.5438+0 million? It is difficult to understand China people's attitude towards Lan when everything is regarded as a special western language. Look at it horizontally and vertically, it's just a few grasses.
In ancient China, orchids did not refer to grass. Starting from grass, orchids become richer than grass and orchids are cultivated. In Qu Yuan's poems, orchids are a symbol, a symbol of nobility and loyalty. But there are so many grasses on the earth, why do orchids just sublimate and become a symbol of virtue and taste? Because orchids have extraordinary temperament, which is the feeling of the ancients compared with hundreds of herbs, and this temperament meets the requirements of China culture for "moderate" degree, and the fragrance-but not musk and fragrance-is "dark fragrance". What is incense? The smell of oil volatilized from oil cells of plants. Why do so many people in China name themselves after "orchids"? Why do all countries worship this oil cell? Science cannot explain orchids.
What is incense? The smell is nothing. Nothing comes from the existence of orchids, which makes people feel extremely powerful. Whether they grow up with each other or not, nothing is Tao. Tao can be said, it is extraordinary, and it can't be expressed in words, but we can feel the existence of Tao from orchids, and it is reflected. You are an orchid. If civilization only stops at botany, it is a civilization that worships things. Civilization also points to nothingness, metaphysics and no trade. This is spiritual civilization. There are flowers, but there is no fragrance. Everything is nothing, but sublimated from existence. The so-called "there are images in it" and "Taoism is natural". From the natural "herb"-floral fragrance, Qu Yuan realized the extraordinary Tao. Loyalty and nobility, Tao is nothing, but its various behaviors, States and fragrances are all reflected.
Orchids can cultivate self-cultivation. Orchids are carriers of Tao. Tao is specific to people, that is, heart, and heart is Tao. Orchids can make people "intentional". China's "self-cultivation" is different from the western "redemption". Salvation assumes that all people are evil and have original sin, and all the efforts in this world are to enter heaven in the future. Redemption is a business relationship with people. The starting point of self-cultivation is "the beginning of life, the nature is good". Self-cultivation is to cultivate people on the earth. What people need is cultivation, not revolution, transformation and liberation. Life is not elsewhere, just in your hometown, just cultivate. The significance of parenting is incredible, which is a foundation of China culture. The relationship between China and the earth, the universe and nature is nurturing, not creating. Just follow the big holiday, I use articles. Raising is fertility and reproduction. Life is not that simple. Birth is just the beginning of life. Life needs growth, and growth needs nurturing. If you don't keep healthy, life will stop. Raising orchids can make people deeply understand what raising is. Raising orchids means keeping in good health and raising yourself.
Why didn't China develop western medicine science? According to China's thought, man is not a disease or an object of treatment, and man and nature are one. What people need is to constantly adjust the relationship with everything in yin and yang, cultivate one's morality and conform to nature, just like orchids adapt to the season. Death is a change, not a disappearance. Whether they grow together or not, gold becomes soil and soil becomes water. Conforming to nature means that Taoism is natural, Taoism is natural, and life is like a orchid. "Sex is not more than exercise, and the quality of orchids is strong" (Yiwenhui). Look carefully, orchids are just grass, why fight for orchids and stones! Orchid is a medicine. What is medicine? Is to treat diseases with grass. How does grass cure diseases? This treatment is not said by western medicine. Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Bluegrass is pungent, flat, sweet and non-toxic. It is fragrant, produces fluid to quench thirst, moistens muscles and cures thirst and gall bladder. " "To cure thirst and produce saliva, use orchid leaves and cover roots." "Quenching thirst and promoting fluid production" is the woody natural attribute of orchids, and Tao is natural. Orchid "quenching thirst and promoting fluid production" means nourishing, not curing headache and cutting feet. The disease is harmonious and moderate. After this degree, you will be ill. Disease is a deviation from the laws of nature. When did everything get sick? Let everything be as it is. Is Bao sick? Everything nourishes each other, which is called harmony. Humanism is natural, and diseases are considered as physical changes. Harmony with nature means no disease, disharmony with nature, and unnatural is disease. After self-cultivation, harmony with nature is achieved again, and the disease disappears. The "thirst-quenching organism" of health preservation is sublimated into the cultivation of nourishing the nature and the heart (Mencius said "nourishing the heart is not good at lacking desires"), the cultivation of ambition, the cultivation of reason, the cultivation of harmony, and the cultivation of keeping a low profile. How to raise this? Orchids can make people realize. "Lan Zhi was born in a valley, there is not no one there. Gentleman Xiu De, don't change the festival for poverty. " "When appropriate, the master also; Appropriate, the master is also suitable. In times of peace, sorrow and joy cannot enter. The ancients said it was the emperor's county solution. " The family of Confucius raises orchids, which makes people keep pace with the times, natural, calm, not chaotic, not fighting, neutral and comfortable. Orchids can nourish the heart, that is to say, orchids can make people realize the natural "degree" of life. Too much neutralization, haste makes waste. In Kunming dialect, "overdose" means getting sick, which means getting sick. Orchids symbolize degree, and "fragrance" is a degree. Grasping this degree is the realm of Lan and the achievement of Tao. Zhang Lan is the best poem, and Lan Xun is a beautiful letter from a friend. Blue room, elegant house; The blue dream indicates the birth of a son; Cyanobacteria is a beautiful language; Michelle is a noble friend; An orchestra is a friend of a gentleman ... In China, if a person is regarded as an "orchid", he may have become a household name. What is "Lanxin" means that human cultivation has reached the highest level, and the highest level of locusts has reached immortality. So there are so many people in China who want to name themselves after "Lan". Living with goodwill is like entering Lan Zhi's room, but not smelling it for a long time, so as to keep pace with it.
Li Bai's "Lonely Orchid" "Lonely Orchid gives birth to a secluded garden, and the grass is destroyed." Although the sun shines brightly in spring, I feel sorry for the crisp moon in autumn. First frost early, green dare not rest. If there is no breeze, who will deliver the incense? "
What a vulgar era this is! Orchids sell millions of pots. Orchids are cultivated completely contrary to their temperament and taste. People are cultivating a species called orchids, not orchids. The ancients said, "When two people get together, they break their interests, and when they talk together, they stink like blue". Don't pronounce smelly (smelling "xiu") as smelly (smelly), those who trade orchids! If Qu Yuan were still alive, I'm afraid he would never "take it for granted that Qiu Lan is a good place". That will cost hundreds of millions! I heard a story that orchids are planted to make a fortune. In order to prevent orchids from being stolen, they dug a deep trench around the greenhouse (this is not Qu Yuan's Nine Flowers of Zilan) and let fierce German shepherd patrol day and night. These clivia plants were imprisoned in Auschwitz like Jews. I guess those poor orchids may be timid enough to be called things. Now they are completely unnatural and insignificant. How can a pot of more than one million narrow-minded orchids be "cleared"? If you buy it back, you will definitely become a miser, and you will always worry about whether the deadly 1 million will die when you get up tomorrow morning.
Haha, I'm not talking about the grass in Dali, but a leaf in Pu 'er and some stones in Tengchong.
