Why did Confucius say "orchids are the fragrance of kings"?
You know, orchids are full of fragrance. All incense is arched, and its fragrance is faint. If you don't pick and admire, why does Yu Lan get hurt? Day after day, year after year, we travel everywhere. Wang Wen Meng Xiong, Wei Shui boundless. Take it and enjoy it. It's beautiful and fragrant. Snow and frost are lush, buds are in winter, gentlemen keep them, and future generations flourish. In China culture, the order of Buddhism is "grass that enters our door can remonstrate my heart", which is a wordless gobbledygook left by our ancestors to future generations. Confucius loves orchids, and there is a saying that orchids are king incense. The first meaning of this statement is that spearmint is the king of incense. When a good orchid is in full bloom, the whole valley can't smell other flowers, which is the rich biological characteristics of spearmint. Second, orchids only smell like kings. Orchids are hidden in deep valleys, and when they don't bloom, they are no different from grass. Only the king can understand the ideological value of orchids and go to the mountains to search for them. The unique biological characteristics of orchids are "vernalization", that is, orchids have to go through a long period of low temperature (0℃- 10℃) to bloom smoothly, ensuring flowers and spices. Wild orchids germinate in autumn, and after a whole winter dormancy, they bloom in the next spring, and the flowering period ends around the vernal equinox. The general interpretation of this word is divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. At the top and in the middle is spearmint, which is the fragrance of the king. Orchid leaves are long, swaying in the wind and elegant; Spearmint, which rises in the wind, flutters in all directions. No matter where spearmint goes, all the flowers are dull and become a part of spearmint. Countless flowers are guarding spearmint, and the fragrance of orchids is far from light, near but not strong, and it is faintly distributed from the center in all directions. Orchids are the king of incense. If no one realizes, what harm will it do to orchids if they don't pick or wear them? In the middle is the orchid, which is only fragrant for the king. Day after day, year after year, I traveled all over the country, southeast and northwest. Although I am like vanilla, I am not ignorant, and I am actively looking for opportunities to realize my social value. Zhou Wenwang's night dream, flying bear, entered an account, and he visited the squire king (Jiang Ziya, named after the saying "Prospering the career of Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors had placed their hopes on the squire king") on the bank of Wei River, thus laying a foundation for the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. How desirable. Once the orchid is picked and worn by the king, it will surely make its elegant fragrance and the ideas contained in it shine like the sun and the moon. Xiatan, the center of which is the cold of Li Lan, makes it fragrant. There is snow and frost everywhere, and there is a thick layer on the crown. Although it is winter, everything seems to be more flourishing. In the cold, the buds of orchids are quietly gestating and waiting, and accumulating in patience. Orchids have the fragrance of kings because they give birth to buds in the cold winter. If people can understand that this is the truth and law that gentlemen should abide by, then future generations will prosper.
