Why did men in Song Dynasty like Zanhua?

The trend of the Song Dynasty is sometimes really incomprehensible, just like the pearl makeup on the forehead, temples and cheeks in the portrait of the Queen of the Song Dynasty is really incomprehensible, so Givenchy actually put on imitation makeup. It is difficult for women to understand makeup, and men actually follow the trend and start wearing flowers. In Song Dynasty, it was a fashion for men to wear flowers. Both Simon, a great official, and Yan Qing, a muscular man, like to wear flowers. Why did men in Song Dynasty like Zanhua so much?

Yang Wanli once wrote a poem: "Why should spring scenery be urged?" The monarch will bring back spring on the first day. " Peony, peony and rose are all on the hats of millions of officials. "The Lantern Festival, we celebrate together, really lively, very festive.

How did the custom of making flowers by the whole people come into being in Song Dynasty?

In fact, as early as the Tang Dynasty, people had the habit of hairpin flowers. But in the Song Dynasty, it was Song Huizong who pushed the custom of Zanhua to the peak.

Every time I travel, my entourage should wear flowers, that's all. He even put a golden flower on the collar of his bodyguard, and stipulated that only those who have flowers can enter and leave the palace freely.

The role of flowers can already be compared with that of emperor tokens.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, praise was just like buying apples, and it might be even more powerful than apples. Because Zanhua has become a symbol of high society, if this kind of flower is given by the emperor, its status will be even higher.

They also send flowers to each other. The more outstanding they are, the more precious they are.

In addition to the emperor taking the lead, scholars also began to bless the behavior of praise. In addition to hairpin flowers, there are people who raise flowers for banquets, have flower fights, and so on. All kinds of entertainment activities are very rich.

However, it is an allusion that Dan Hua became prime minister.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Han Qi, the magistrate of Yangzhou, was also a flower lover. He planted a peony in his yard. When it is in full bloom, there will be a circle of golden stamens in the middle, commonly known as "golden waist", and four flowers will bloom on one flower.

At this time, Wang Anshi and Wang? When they were stationed in Yangzhou, Han Qi invited them to enjoy flowers, and temporarily invited Bobby Chen who was passing by.

This Han Qi drank too much wine, so he cut four flowers, one for each. This is a random and unintentional act, but who would have thought that in the next 30 years, these four people will become prime ministers one after another.

Therefore, there is an allusion to "four-phase Zanhua" in history, which pushed the matter of Zanhua to a climax at once. With the auspicious meaning of "four flowers" among the people, Paeonia lactiflora became a symbol of flowers.

Of course, there are some maverick people, such as Sima Guang. Simaguang, who is pure in nature, dislikes Zanhua very much. He thinks Zanhua is extravagant and sissy, so he is very disgusted with Zanhua. Even once the emperor personally gave him hairpin flowers, and he almost disobeyed orders.

In the Song Dynasty, the flower-wearing style came to an end, and even officials refused to spend flowers, so they would be censored and impeached. This kind of regulation is really a bit too much.

Although the fourth issue of Zanhua is a beautiful talk, it is a bit strange to spend it every day. Moreover, flowers do not need to be worn, and the shelf life of flowers is only a few days, and they will soon wither. If we continue to spend money, the cost is very high. It can be seen that people in the Song Dynasty did have money and lived in luxury.
