Description

The peony is significant both historically and mythologically, and thus is tied to many different meanings and symbols. Common peony meanings include romance, prosperity, good fortune, a happy marriage, riches, honor, and compassion — but peonies can also mean bashfulness.

There is a myth, the peony is tied to a nymph named Paeonia. Paeonia is beautiful and attracts the attention of Apollo, who begins to flirt with her. When Paeonia realizes that Aphrodite is watching them, she becomes bashful and turns bright red. In anger, Aphrodite transforms the nymph into a red peony. This is how the peony came to symbolize bashfulness.

话说西晋的太康年间,社会上出了位叫左思的文学家,说起此人,那可是相当的有才,就是因为这位左爷写的一本叫《三都赋》的书,受人欢迎,那欢迎的程度和销量,可能不比而今的韩寒、王朔之流差多少。想必这位左思先生的版税也没少交。闲话不提,这本《三都赋》大卖之后,在京城洛阳是铺天盖地的流传,什么正版、盗版、手抄版,估计当时没电脑,要是有的话,还得有电子版、网络版、手机版啥的。这个版、那个版的一闹腾,可了不得了,一下子这纸张的价码是蹦着高儿的往上涨,快赶上当今的房价了。原来每刀千八百文的纸,一下子涨到两、三千文,就这,还得天不亮就得排队、拿号才能买到。到后来纸张竟然销售一空; 还有好多的人骑马、坐轿的跑到外地买纸,印刷、抄写这篇千古名赋。

再说这位左思,打小起,他爹就看不惯他,一直看不起他:这生的什么儿子啊,身材矮小不说,长的还呆头傻脑的,整个一弱智,仍街上都分不出穷、富来。最让他爹生气的是这小子说话还是个结巴。而人家左思可不管别人怎么看自己个儿,打小发奋学习博览群书。在左思眼里,东汉的斑固和张衡是他的偶像,对这二位崇拜的程度如“粉丝”一般。不为别的,就因为他看了这二位写的《西都赋》和《两京赋》,喜欢、崇拜的不得了。决心要象他们那样也写有一篇。据说为写《三都赋》,他收集大量的历史、地理、物产、风俗人情的资料。而且闭门谢客,苦写不止。居然用了十年的工夫,把这《三都赋》写成了!
