Feihua in Song Dynasty: Fifteen Elegant Lifestyles of Song People
by Meng Hui
About This Novel
The beauty pursued by the Song people was the ultimate integration of nature, life and culture. In the Song Dynasty, the gathering of literati who met to drink under flowers was called "Feiyinghui", and the drinking game in which poems containing "flowers" were spoken at the banquet was called "Feihualing". Feiyinghui Feihualing is a corner of the aesthetic spirit of the Song Dynasty people. From the palace to the alleys, from food and daily life to festivals and folk customs, the Song Dynasty had a very high pursuit and love for life. These are fifteen flying flowers that reflect the spring scenery of the Song Dynasty, bringing with them the fireworks of the world eight or nine hundred years ago, the cycle of four seasons, and the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Based on historical records, handed down Song paintings, archaeological objects and literary works, Meng Hui recreates the fresh, elegant, leisurely and indifferent "slow life" of the Song Dynasty for us.
