Why do some rich children in the new water margin want to arrange flowers on their heads?
Wearing flowers has always been a woman's patent. However, anyone who has seen the Water Margin knows that Cai Qing, a prisoner in Daming Mansion, loves a flower by nature. This "professional killer" who specializes in executing the death penalty is a big man with heavy eyebrows and big eyes, but he wears fancy clothes, so people simply call him "Cai Qing". Cai Qing is not the only man in Water Margin who likes to wear flowers. Yan Qing's "celebrity fans are obliquely inserted into the waist, and flowers in the four seasons often wear sideburns". Ruan Xiaowu appeared "wearing a broken headscarf and pomegranate flowers on his temples". Yang Xiong has absolutely nothing to do with romantic cleverness. He also likes to put emerald hibiscus in his temples. A bully, Zhou Tong, went to Taohua Village to get married, while a headscarf worshipper planted wild flowers, while Zhou Tong himself planted a flower-like satin beside his temple. The habit of men wearing flowers in the Song Dynasty has nothing to do with romance or not, and has nothing to do with being born rich or poor. That was the general atmosphere at that time. According to "History of Song Dynasty", "hairpin wear" was originally a court etiquette: "hairpin wear is called hairpin wear. After the ceremony of worshipping Mingtang in the suburbs of Zhongxing, courtiers and retinues merged. The same is true for public holidays. " The seventy-second time in Water Margin, "Chai Jin Zanhua enters the Forbidden Park", the background is a trip to the Shangyuan Festival in Song Huizong, and the personnel on duty in the Forbidden City "have a green flower on each side of the hoe", which is equivalent to a pass. Chai Jin tricked a flower into Ruisi Temple. Every time Song Huizong travels back to the palace, he always wears a small hat, hairpin flowers and rides a horse. All courtiers and guards who follow him are also given flowers and hairpins. Song Huizong not only advocated wearing flowers, but also formulated some rules. He gave the guard a coat and a golden leaf. Only those who have palace flowers and brocade jackets can freely enter and leave ouchi. Men's hairpin flowers developed to the Song Dynasty, almost to the extreme. A small hairpin flower has even become a symbol of social status and rank. Yang Wanli has a poem dedicated to the scene in the fifteenth palace of the first month: "Why does spring come to urge you to return to the first day of spring?" Peony peony rose, all open to thousands of official hats. "Because people have flowers on their heads, they look like a red cloud floating from a distance. Jiang Kui's poem: "Thousands of hairpin flowers fill the imperial street, and the saints return from the scenic spot first. I don't know how much it will cost in the future, but I see Hongyun Ran Ran coming. "The romantic trend of the palace' hairpin flowers' spread, and in the Song Dynasty, all walks of life followed suit, and hairpin flowers became a fashion. Shen Kuo's Meng Qian Bi Tan contains the story of "Four-phase Zanhua": Yangzhou Peony was very famous in Song Dynasty, and it was also called Luoyang Peony in the world. According to legend, during Han Qi's tenure in Yangzhou, there was a peony in the back garden of his official office, which was divided into four branches, each with a flower. The colors of these four flowers are very special. The petals are red from top to bottom, but there is a yellow nucleus in the middle, which looks like an official of the Song Dynasty wearing a red robe and a golden belt around his waist. Therefore, people at that time called this peony "golden belt" or "golden belt". The occasional "golden belt circumference" is the result of variety variation, which is very rare. According to the official system at that time, only the prime minister was qualified to wear a red official robe and a gold belt, so once the folk "golden belt circumference" was discovered, the local prime minister would be born. Officials all regard seeing this kind of flower as a good omen for promotion. Han Qi thought it was a rare opportunity, and opened a "Golden Belt Surrounding" in the garden, and wanted to invite three guests to watch it together, to show that the four flowers were celebrating together. At that time, Wang Jue and Wang Anshi were both in Yangzhou City, so Han Qi invited them to your home. But at this time, one person is still missing. What shall we do? Han Qi temporarily found a passing courtier, Chen Shengzhi, to make up the numbers. The four men were drinking and writing poems under the flowers. They also took off four "golden ribbons" and put them on their heads. Incredibly, in the next 30 years, Han Qi, Wang Jue, Wang Anshi and Chen Shengzhi all became prime ministers of the Song Dynasty, and the story of "praising the four phases" spread from then on. I don't know whether the "golden belt around peony" really has aura, or whether Han Qi's eyes are sharp, and all the people invited are pillars of the prime minister. In a word, "Four-phase Zanhua" has become the most legendary banquet in Yangzhou and even China history. Therefore, Shen Kuo, a scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty and a former Yangzhou secretariat who joined the army, specially wrote this matter into "Bubi Tan". Later painters also liked to paint with this theme. In Yangzhou Museum, there is a fan of Four-phase Zanhua Map drawn by Qing Dynasty painter Li Shu. Han Qi, Wang Jue, Wang Anshi and Chen Shengzhi are depicted in the painting, accompanied by maids, drinking praises.
