Chinese traditional auspicious patterns

Orchid is orchid grass. The ancients often called it Zhilan together with zhicao, comparing the beauty of talent and quality. According to historical records, Xie Xuan, a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was called smart and wise as early as he was young. He and his cousin Xie Lang were valued by his uncle Xie an. One day, Xie an talked with his sons and nephews. First, he earnestly told them to study hard and cultivate their self-esteem. Then he asked, "you are not adults. How about your character and learning, it will not affect your parents. Why do I hope you are so promising?" The brothers stared at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer. Xie Xuan said: "it's like orchid Yushu, a kind of auspicious grass that everyone likes to see, but everyone would like to see them born in front of their own court.". Later generations used "Zhilan Yushu" as a metaphor for children's promising. Osmanthus fragrans is Osmanthus fragrans. According to historical records, in the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty asked all officials to recommend the virtuous and outspoken people. Jiyin prefect Wen recommended the state talent, but Shen was elected. The way of examination and selection is that the emperor raises questions in the imperial edict and selects people to write an answer. But Shen was appointed governor of Yongzhou. Emperor Wu saw him off and asked him: what do you think of yourself? If you use the current language, how do you feel about yourself? But Shen said bluntly: "the policy of selecting virtuous officials is the first in the world, just like one branch of Guilin and a piece of jade of Kunshan.". Later generations used the term "zhegui" to refer to the imperial examination, and Osmanthus fragrans also had a similar symbolic meaning. use Osmanthus fragrans and orchid grass to make an auspicious picture, especially the wish for the success of all the children in the family. The picture is called "Lan Gui Qi Fang". In addition, there is also a folk painting named "Chan Gong zhe GUI", which is based on the words of Que Shen. It shows children playing under the osmanthus trees, wishing their children a bright future in embroidery. In fact, this is not in line with the original intention of Cao Xueqin's creation and naming habits. According to the author's design of the first 80 chapters, the decline of Jia's family is "like eating all the birds into the forest, leaving a vast expanse of white land. The earth is really clean", which shows that "for officials, their families wither; for the rich, their gold and silver are scattered; for the kind, they escape from death; for the merciless, they have clear retribution. For those who owe their lives, their lives have been returned; for those who owe their tears, their tears have been exhausted. "For those who see through, they escape; for those who are obsessed, they lose their lives in vain." There is no possibility of "ZTE" at all, let alone "second home raids". According to the custom of naming, Jia people of several generations used the words "Shui" (yuan, Yan), "Dai" (Dai Hua, Dai Shan), "Wen" (Jing, Zheng), "Yu" (Zhen, Zhu), "Cao" (Yun, LAN), etc. According to the generation, Baoyu Baochai's children should also be named after the grass head, which is suspected to have taken the word "Xie" similar to "Gui".
