What is the introduction to scholarly culture?

The earliest origin of "book fragrance" is said to be because of this Brassica plant. Because its fragrance can kill bookworms, readers who love books will put Brassica in their books. , the wisps of fragrance it exudes are called "book fragrance". The books in the famous Tianyige Library are known as "moth-free books". It is said that this is because every book is filled with brassicas. Because rue is associated with books, other things related to rue have also become names related to books. For example, the ancient school clerk had a nice name: "Rue Official".

The poet Bai Juyi once served as this official. Yuncao is often kept in the study room, so the study has been called "Yunchuang", "Yunshu", "Yunsheng" and so on. For example, Xu Jian's "Beginner's Notes" of the Tang Dynasty said: "The scent of rue is a thorn in the paper, so the library table is also called a rue platform." These words contain a ray of scholarly atmosphere, expressing people's scholarly writing style, cultural aesthetics and spirit. Noble reverence.

The vicissitudes of life pass by, and the wind blows. With the passage of time, it is no longer easy for ordinary readers to see brassicae. Even to prevent beetles, people mostly use moth balls, sandalwood tablets and the like.

In the intoxication, no one can tell what the fragrance of books is exactly.

The fragrance of books refers to the atmosphere of reading, originally referring to the fragrance of herbs in books; the habit of reading (from generation to generation). See Song Dynasty Lin Jingxi's poem "Shuhuai Ci Chai Zhubu": "The fragrance of books and swords are all gone, and the bodies of parents are empty."

In the homes of ancient celebrities and officials, "the maids burned incense and chatted about making tea." For fun. The patriotic poet Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty once wrote a poem: "If you want to know how to soar in the daytime, you can burn incense and listen to the rain." Modern celebrities admired this poem very much after hearing it. He believed that burning incense can calm the mind and let the thoughts fly. It is an oriental As a unique human interest, Wen Yiduo often carries a small brass incense burner with him. Once, classmate Liang Shiqiu and Wen Yiduo said goodbye. Instead of eating and drinking with a table full of food and wine, they burned sandalwood and sat in silence. They rested their minds and whispered to each other, sharing the same interests and liking each other.
