The moon rises above the willow tree, and people meet after dusk.
Poetry was the best way to express one's emotions. It wasn't so obvious, but it could clearly express one's feelings.
Similar to poetry, something could also directly express a person's friendship and wishes, just like how a woman giving a man a purse was admiration, or how a woman giving each other a handkerchief was a close sister.
Then the willow forest by the lake had the same logic.
The willow was a symbol of beauty. Willow leaves are newly born, like sleeping eyes just opened, so it is called "willow eyes". Li Shangyin's poem on the second day of the second lunar month: " Flower whiskers and willow eyes are all scoundrels, purple butterflies and wasps are all sentimental.”The woman's eyebrows were long and thin, like willow leaves, which was called "Liu Mei". Wang Yan's poem "Ganzhou Song":"Liu Mei peach face wins spring." A woman's waist was as soft as a willow branch, so it was called a "willow waist". Han Wu Shi: "The willow waist lotus face originally forgets love.”Wei Guan's calligraphy of the Jin Dynasty was like willow leaves, which was called "Willow Leaf Seal". The willow catkins scattered into wadding, also known as "willow wadding". Yan Shu's "Poem of Enlightenment":"The pear flower courtyard melts the moon, and the willow pond is lightly windy."”Su Dongpo had the phrase,"The willow catkins on the branches are blown and few, and there are many fragrant grasses in the world."
Therefore, throughout history, willow trees mostly represented women.
And now, planting willow trees by the lake was nothing more than a normal reason and an abnormal reason.
The normal reason was that the willow tree could purify the air by the lake and increase the beauty of the scenery.
The abnormal reason was that in ancient times, floods often occurred by rivers and lakes. In order to appease the anger of the so-called River Earl, people would sink living women into the water to become his wives. However, this kind of bad habit was not allowed, so people planted willow trees, which symbolized women, by the river, indicating that they were women who were offered as tribute to River Earl. Although he didn't know if there was a River Earl, superstitions and ghosts were sometimes reassuring.
After listening to Gu Muyang's explanation, I was deeply impressed. Cultured people were indeed different. They could say everything in a systematic manner, covering a wide area and involving many fields. Just poetry and songs mixed with haunted legends were enough to form a near-perfect conclusion.
I didn't say anything on the way through the willow forest. With Gu Mu Yang's explanation, we unknowingly arrived at the entrance of Hu Tian Di.
Gu Muyang had just given a long speech, and he was in a hurry to drink some water. Hence, he remained silent and prepared to let his brain, which was spinning at a high speed, go.
I held Gu Muyang's arm and walked forward. We arrived at Hu Tiandi's unique door. Hu Tiandi's door really made me admire it. There were white stone pillars on both sides of the door. The left pillar was decorated with a horse riding on a swallow. The right pillar was carved with a girl sitting on the ground with a sheep in her arms. When I turned around, I found that there were walls on both sides of the door. The paintings on the walls were all nomadic and democratic scenes. Inside the walls was Hu Tiandi's place. Outside the wall, it had nothing to do with Hu Tiandi. However, this Hu Heaven and Earth was really big. This land was originally abandoned. It was too remote to grow vegetables and build houses, so it had always been empty. It was not until Hu Tiandi was built that this barren land finally had a place to use. I couldn't help but admire this boss's keen sense of smell. Who would use this place in the middle of nowhere?
Gu Muyang and I walked to the door, holding hands. The manservant beside the door quickly came up to greet him. This manservant is called Musse. He has been the one who has served me for the past few years.
Muse was born with a head of blond hair and curly hair. He looked very cute. Actually, he was only fifteen this year, the same age as me.
Musse rushed up excitedly and said,'Sister Hua, I've been waiting for you for so long. In the past few years, you'd come here for a few days before the opening, but today you're almost done and still haven't come. I thought you weren't coming!' I patted Muse on the shoulder and said,'I'm lucky this year, that's why I came. Maybe in the future. By the way, is my room ready? 'Musse scratched his head and asked,""Maybe in the future? What was going on? Sister, are you leaving the capital? 'I glanced at Gu Muyang and gave Muce a look. My husband! Young lady, I'm married! Muse waited with his mouth wide open, then pointed at Gu Muyang and said,'Married, married!' I held Gu Muyang's arm even more intimately and said,"Yes, I am. Why? Can't I? "No, no, I didn't mean that." However, Sister can still come here with her husband after she gets married.”I glanced at Gu Muyang and said,'That's not necessarily true. Maybe next year at this time, he'll be anxious to find another woman.'”Gu Mu Yang looked at me and smiled,"Wifey's words are different, how could this husband betray Wifey? I snorted and looked at Musse."Little Curly Hair, why aren't you bringing us in? If you want me to stay here in the cold wind! Muse smiled shyly and quickly made an inviting gesture. He said,"Sister Hua, please come in. Your house is ready. I've also registered your name for the horse riding competition in advance!" I reached out and threw a bag of chestnut cakes to Musai before holding Gu Muyang's arm and striding in.
Musse held the chestnut cake and smiled happily as he said,'I knew that my sister is the most generous! Sister, have fun. Just call me if you need anything! Gu Muyang looked at me from the corner of his eyes and said,"26 pieces of chestnut cake, and 10 pieces of silver. My wife is really rich but has nowhere to burn."”I glanced at Gu Mu Yang and said,"I'm willing!" Anyway, he didn't know if he would have the chance to come out and have fun in the future. It was better to enjoy this last time.”Gu Muyang looked at Hua Qing Cheng and hesitated for a moment before saying,"Let's go out and celebrate every Chinese Valentine's Day together, okay?" Hua Qingcheng looked at Gu Muyang's face, but she only saw his mouth moving. She didn't hear anything because the moment Gu Muyang spoke, a group of horse racing horses ran over. By the time Gu Muyang finished speaking, the herd of horses had also left.
The smoke and dust were a little suffocating. Hua Qing Cheng covered her mouth and said,'What did you just say? I didn't listen." Gu Muyang looked into Hua Qingcheng's eyes and wanted to speak again, but he suddenly lost his courage. So he could only look down and say,'It's nothing, I'm just saying. I'll pay for it." Hua Qingcheng smiled and patted Gu Muyang's shoulder before letting go of his hand. She spread her arms and ran forward.
Her emerald green dress fluttered in the wind on the green grass plains, making people's eyes go blurry. Looking at her pure self and the tiny him in the vast world, Gu Muyang couldn't help but reach out his hand to grab something. However, in the end, he only managed to grab a handful of grass fragrance. The person in front of him quickly ran further and further away from him.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:49AM
